torney General Daugherty, who ar
rived here from Washington today
unannounced, was declared au-
ttoritativcly to be considering the
dismissal OF indictments pending
here in federal court. which some

Mr.. Daughcrty, it was learned,
was scheduled to have conference
this afternoon with Federal Judge
Anderson, before whom is pending
the indictments charging 225 coal
operators. union leaders and others
with violating the Sherman anti
trust law by conspiracy to monop-
olizc the coal industry and control

a few hours daily, due to lack Of
water underground.
The fact that the coal dealers
have had to cut the individual al
lotments to a quarter ton and a half
ton, where previously they had re-
ceived a ton, is &c fault of the
dealers, the dealers point out, as
they were cut to o~ne-twelfth of their
yearly supply. This cut was made
by the line companies.
A different situation exists with
the Independent coal companies,
the dealers say, who also supply the
local dealers. This involves the
price. The price according to the
dealer, given on coal at the inde-
pendent mines is $13 a ton and
when delivered to the family will
cost about $3.50. The coal, he
says, is bought from the mines at
$1s. a ton, $40 a ton is paid by
the dealer for shipment, forty-five
cents is paid for unloading from
the car to the coal yard and $1.25
is paid for the delivery to the
buyer, this bringing the price of a
single ton up to $17.10 which is sold
at a loss by the dealer for $3.50
This price will not be paid by the
public, the dealer says, and for this
reason they will have to burn wood
and soft coal, If the weather gets
any colder. or pay the high price
for the independent coal, as little
coal can be received from line coal
companies.

COAL CONDITION
HERE CRITICIZED
Dealer Tells of Conditions
Prevailing at Mines Warns
Consumers to Save

Additional light has been shed on
the Goa situation by the return to
this city of a local dealer following
a four-day business trip through
the coal fields of Pennsylvania.
Conditions are such, he said, as to
warrant serious consideration by
consumers, the example of slow
transportation of coal from the
mines to Perth Amboy contained in
an article published in the Evening
News Tuesday being only n of the
several grave incidents found by
local dealers as a result of the coal
shortage. This particular dealer
tells of cases in which delays of
two months have occurred.
A scarcity Of water in the Penn
sylvania coal fields has brought
about a critical condition, the dealer
states, many towns having been re-
duced to a minimum water con-
sumption with the present outlook
for relief far from bright. Some
OF the coal mines may be forced to
shut down, he said, If this drought
continues and hard coal may be
shipping to market from the Sham
okin district without the usual
washing process, which also re-
moves foreign material from the
coal.
In the northeastern part of the
state the dealer said the situation
is most critical. In the anthracite
region Of Shamokin and in every
section of the Schuykill Valley the
severity Of the drought in causing
the greatest alarm.
Paralysis of mining and other in
dustries is feared within the next
few days according to a report
from Shamokin. Many mine pumps
that have been in operation twenty
four hours each day for years are
at the present time in service only

Senator Simmons charged and
Senator Gooding denied that there
had been an agreement by which ag-
ricultural products were given pro-
lection in the return for the support
of the friends Of agriculture for
high duties on manufactured pro
ducts. Exchanges between the SEN
ators became heated, the Idaho SEN
ator delaring that it was mot
true" that members Of the bloc had
entered into any agreement and
Senator Simmons retorting that
"denial does not prove anything"
Later in the day there was an

TROUBLED TIMES
FOR PARLIAMENT
SEES DIFFICULTIES
AHEAD IN IRELAND-COUN-
TRY NOT so WELL PROVID-
ED WITH FUNDS AS WAS
CASE YEAR AGO

Dublin, June 10.-A meeting was
held at Mansion House this evening
in support of the panel candidates
for parliament chosen by the Free
Staters and the Republicans. Eamon
de Valera presided.
|. Michael Collins in a speech said
he could foresee for the new par
lament great possible difficulties.
Ireland had passed from the stage
of violent revolution, to a stage OF
lesser revolution, but was not out OF
the revolutionary stage. The country
now was a great deal poorer than it
was a year ago.
"We are faced by a situation"
Mr.. Collins continued ''in which in
ertia is coming into the national life
and productivity is reduced. I re-
ceived today a report from the in
spector of taxes stating that the
collection of revenues was extreme
ly unsatisfactory, the main cause
being lack of any effective means
for enforcing payment.
3This is no time," Mr.. Collins
added, "to take on war with North
east Ireland and. with the British
empire, too. We have seen the arti-
fetal situation created on the For
managh-D Donegal border in the last
days and the British troops called
to aid the Northern government.
British troops entered the Donegal
area for certain distance, and it
only needs that sort Of an advance
to bring war into all the rest of Ire
land.
"Such situation can be averted
The difficulty in the northeast is not
on the border but in Belfast. We
must meet the trouble at it's seat
and not give others the advantage
of meeting trouble where there
should be none. Otherwise the
whole of Ireland will be overrun
and an artificial trench made around
the six counties. The Northern
leaders are planning for this, and if
we do not act wisely the trench will
make partition permanent"
