U. s. COAL RULES
PUT IN OPERATION
Machinery For Emergency Dis
trIbution Swung into Gear.
ANTHRACITE IS DWINOuNG
States Will Control Distribution and
Prices Within Their Borders-Re-
quests For Fuel Coming in.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The govern
nent machinery for emergency distri-
button of coal swung into gear as the
central committee here, with Henry
B. Spencer, federal fuel distributor,
as administrative head, began active
functioning under the program devised
to supply coal to the industries and
localities where it is most needed and
to maintain fair price levels at the
| mines.
The central control organization was
| rapidly being perfected, it was said,
with the organization of an adequate
staff to handle the rush of reports and
| orders, expected to flow through Wash
| ngton.
Accepting only the responsibility of
keeping the railroads and interstate
public utilities supplied with coal and
| directing proper distribution as be-
tween states. at the same tine, through
| car ALLEGATIONS holding mine prices at
fair level, the federal agency looked
| to the various states to control dis
| tribution and prices for consumers
within their borders. In many states
creation of the necessary administra-
ton for this already has been reported
to the committee.
| AS the distribution program went
into effect, slow recovery in produc-
I ton was shown in reports of the geo
J logical survey for the week ending
Saturday, the estimated total being
J 1900 600 tons as compared with 3,700,-
) 900 tons the week previous. Produc-
| ton of anthracite was said to remain
at "proctically zero" Stating there
was mo indication of increased pro-
duction in response to the invitation
| to reopen mines in any of the strong
ly organized DISTRICTS the report said
more coal was coming out of the for
| mer nOn-uniOn fields of Pennsylvania
| with slight increases in several other
| districts.
| First steps to prepare for possible
diversion of coal supplies to the Great
Lakes for northwestern states were
taken when members Of the advisory
committee called in a number of rep
resentatives of coal mining companies
and coal distributing companies from
Cleveland and other Ohio points.
Requests from governors of states
! for coal have already begun to come
into the federal fuel distribution com
mittee, Secretary of Commerce Hoov
err stated. The states, he said, asked
particularly for fuel for their public
utilities
Mr.. Spencer was at work perfectins
the organization of regional commit
tees in the producing mine fields. ant
it was expected orders could be for
warded to all districts within forty
eight hours
Maintenance of the federal emer
gency control organization, Mr.. Hoov
er asserted, probably will be necessar.

Mr.. Hoover said, adding the question
could be decided by the time the hous
reassembles on August Is.

CROP PROSPECTS P r ! IS
IN RUSSIA ARE
DRAWING INTEREST

Moscow-Food is the keynote Of
many Soviet Russian problems: hence
the crop prospects for September 1922
are Of the greatest interest There Is
reason to believe that the yield will
be greater than in the famine yeAr,
Of 1921, but further than this no one
today can prophesy.
d, II the 1922 harvest is fair, Russian
industry may show considerable
growth after September. Factories
would then be able to provide their
workers with food; the lumber indus
try would improve If the woodcutters
were able to get rations. and their
activities would see the opening Of
saw mills.
AS the meager food stocks in the
provinces become more and moresde-
pleted, provincial Russians are COM
ng to Moscow to sell their belong
;ngs to buy food in the city markets.
Reversing the process OF year ago.
when city dwellers went to the pros
vinces for food. now the provincials
find that Moscow. where free trade
has developed much more than in tho
country has stocks available for all
with money.
Moscow's progress toward surface
prosperity during the past few
