10 Days Stock on Hard and
None Arriving: Governor Be-
sieged 10 Coll Out Troops
spee4as ptspatea 70 Ths ryxeawe


CHICAGO, Aug. ie4--Unless the coal
shortage IN Chicago and the rest OF
the state is relieved within ten days
factories and other concerns will be
fereed to ciese, thus throwing zoe, 700
additional persons out OF employment
before winter.
The strike has ncw been in progress
1872 days and eoaI stocks are down 20
the minimum. A survey Of the factory
districts IN Chicago and down state
shows ar average of ten days supplies.
Factories in Chicago are closing down
every day because Of lack OF fuel.
Governor Small is delaying action,
on the ground that he needs more in
formation. He Is being besieged by
Chambers of Commerce and various
dividGais, urging him TO declare the
state under rnartial law and open the
mines under troop guard. This step
would nullify the law, obtained by the
unions, which Sorbids the employment
Of any but certified" miner, this
meaning that the applicant must be a
member OF the union in good standing
Considerable pressure Is also being
put upon the Governor to assemble the
Legislature IN special session and re-
peal the law, which ties the hands Of
the state absolutely. He replies that
such action would require at least two
months, assuming even that the Legis-
lsture would be strong enough to re-
peal the law IN the face Of threats by
@the unions, not alone the coal unions,
but all other organized labor.
In Chicago plans are under way TO
seize all coal stocks at once and sp-
portion them, first TO hospitals and
necessary public utilities and then, If
any remains, to factories. However,
there would be none for the factories
The normal consumption of coal in
Chicago is about 100000 tons monthly,
and the survey shows but 10000 tons
are on hand, with none coming in.
". K. Kavsnsugh, president Of the
Coal Operators Association of the 5th
and 9th districts, announced at the
end of three-day meeting here to-day
that the Illinois operators were Arm
in their refusal TO enter any confer
snce with John L. Lewis, leader of the
striking miners, at Cleveland, except
on che basis Of the arbitration pro-
posals submitted by President Harding

Abducted by Pair in Taxi

man, 100 Thirty-third Street, Wood
cliff, n. J.

up az the corner near the Fleischman
home about the time Pearl came out
in her party dress. A man and 8
woman were in the taxi. The latter,
whose frock was OF a cut seldom seen
in Woodciiff, approached the child,
took her by the hand and led her to
the taxi.
Pearl and the woman got in and the
vehicle was driven away. Pearls
grandmother, in reporting her disap-
pearsnce TO ths police, said she be-
lieved the woman was PEARLS mother,
Margaret Fleischman, who left her
mothers home soon after Pearl was
born and went on the stage. Mrs
Fleischnan said she did not know hey
daughters stage name or where she
was playing, nor had she ever learned
the name Of Pearls father.
Mrs. Fleischman said that she had
been threatened with violence If she
reported the matter to the police.
About an hour after Pearl had disap-
pesred, she said, her telephone bell
rang and voice said: "If you don't
keep quiet about this, you'll get a
bullet through the lungs"
The taxi in which Pearl WAS spirited
away was traved TO Palisade Amuse-
ment Park. A man, q woman and a
child got out there and changed to
another taxicab, which took them to

NO FAV0R|TES ARE PLAYED BY
 SECRET POLICE
Russian Chekas Go About Duties Fearing No One
 in Making Arrests.

MOSCOW, Feb. 8.-That the Cheka, cr secret police, is no respector of perzors, in making arrests, may be set down to it's credit. It arrests Communists and Cheka agents as freely as any others.
 The method of arrest often incon- venierces friends of the persons to be arrested. If the person wanted is 72t at home. a guard is placed inside the door of his home and every visi- tor is held until he appears. This is to prevent warnings getting to the persons to be arrested.
 If the visiting friends are not ar rested, they risk being held several days. On one occasion a woman pass ing house door heard a cat new ing hungr.ly and entered to pet and feed it. She stumbled into a Cheka net and was held in prison for three months, when, finally, her explana- tion was accepted as to why she had visited the house.
 There are months when great num- bers are in jail. The Cheka is not bothered by lack of prison space. If a prison room is intended to accom- modate two or tAree persons, it often happens that in fact it is made to ac- commodate 25 or 30. People are just put in, in layers. and that's an end to the space problem.

TRILL|ONS OF
 PAPER RUbLES
 TO BE ISSUED
Soviet Government Planning Annual Issue Which Runs
 Into the Trillions.

MOSCOW, Feb S.-Mere billions 10 longer suffice to indicate the amount Gt paper rubles annually is sued by the Soviet government. It runs into trillions.
 M. Krestinsky. the Commissar of Firancc. has informed the Congress of Soviets that the government con templates the issuance in 1922 of 23 900 0GG 100000 Of paper rubles which. he estimates, should have 8 buying rewer of 230000,000 gold rubles.
 He pointed out to the Congress that this issue. while large in figures, is hy no means large in buying power for it is based on his estimate that the go,i r''hle is equivalent in buying power to 100000 paper rubles. These peper rabies are the ord nary medium Of exchange.
 He explained that the total paper issue for 1918 was 34.000 900, 900 rutHes, then worth 523,0O0O0O gold rubles. The issue for 1919 was 123. 100000, 900 rubles, worth 390O00,000 gold rubies. The issue for 1920 was 9S5. .00G GOO, 900 rubles, worth 100000 GOO gold rubles The issue for 1921 wlls 10.000.000, 100000 rubles. worth 200,6G0,000 gold rubles. This makes the total paper morey issue to date 11.142 GOO. 100000 rubles.
 The value of one gold ruble has been legally fixed at 100000 paper rub.es for the months of February and March. but when this rate was fixed a dollar. which is worth about two gold rubles, brought in the open market 250,O00 to 275,000 paper ruDles.
