pmTsBURG, August %. -How
.,an+ a coal shortage this winter?
Here are the facts:
Total production Of 0ltum'AouS
coal from the first of the calenuat
SOS,' - August 6, is estimated at
SC@' So7 100000 net tons, by the United
st.tse e. Geological Survey.

| +h mast have managed to- mlne
glO0O. coo tons of bituminous IN less
than two weeks.
Stocks Low.
At the beginning of the coal strike,
i was estimated that about 65,OO0,-
ana fons Of bituminous coal were
above ground and in storage. Coal
men call this the reserve stocks
The country is consuming about
100000 tons of bituminous
week.
Production by non-union mines
during the strike has averaged about
100000 tons a week.
This made a drain of about 4,00O,-
OO0 tons a week on the stored coal.
Inasmuch as no acute coal famine
has developed, it is now believed in
the coal Industry that fuel reserves
were larger than estimated The
bottom Of the bin is generally in
sight now.
The Shortage.
When the coal strike started,
many union mines were practically
shut down because they could not
compete with the cheaper labor of
the open-shop mines.
The general opinion among coal
men is that the strike has Created
sufficient Market" or shortage, to
insure union mines a market for
their coal as well as non-union coal
until the end of next March. They
are basing the belief on the assump-
uon that union miners can be produc-
ing capacity by the middle of Sep
tember.
II IS customary, at the end of the
year, to have camy-over or coal
reserve Of 2O,OOO,OOO to 10000. 600
tons. The outlook is that there will
be little if any cary-over in 1928
Hard Coal Scarce.
A shortage of anthracite coal is
inevitable. From the first of the wear
10 the end Of July, anthracite pro-
ouctIoh totaled only 22,8OO, 900 tons
against a normal output of around
0O,OO0,0O0.
Coke Situation.
Despite the strike, production of
prehI'e coke so far this year is
'f'lie longer than a year ago. July
output was 100000, tons.
output Of by-product coke in july
was 2,486,0O0 tons. This was onlv

BERLIN. Aug. II ASSOCIATED Press -
Berlin newspapers OF all shades OF polit-

third anniversary of the ratification OF
the Weimar Constitution.
The To0eHohe Rundschau sounds the

tory to him personally is. after all. bet

chaos would remain IL the constitution
were destroyed
The Centrfst Gerntnnid says Germans
will not permit any one to divert them
from their belief In the. future OF the
fatherland and in the happiness OF the
German people. and they are convinced
that the constitution leads to that ideal.

A Fighting Opposition.

The bonus Senators who We're to-
day trying TO agree on a program of
procedure to follow the vote on the
tariff estimated that mot more than
four days will be required to put the
bonus bill through" This statement
provoked derisive comment from Sena-
tors of both parties who are deter
mined to make the task of the Presi-
dent as easy as possible by attempting
the disastrous consequences OF putting
through a bonus bill.
There is full justification for the
statement that the courageous Sena-
tors who hold the political claims and
threats OF American Legion officials as
of little value are preparing to discuss
in the most thorough manner the
iniquities of the proposed raid on the
Treasury. One of the Senators op-
posed to the bonus declared tonight:
When we get through revealing to
the people of the country the i'm
moral iniquities, the disastrous eco
nomic consequences and the political
dangers of the bonus bill I don't be-
lieve so many Senators will ne for il
as there are now. You can be sure Of
one thing-the Senators who oppose
this. bonus scheme, which the country
is beginning to regard as monu-
mental political joke, do not intend TO
be deprived of their privilege to dis
cuss 1t at their convenience from
every angle.
~ al trc
consent agreements to limit the de-
bate over it or concede any parlia-
mentary advantage to those Senators
who are in a frenzy to get themselves
on record in favor of the McCumber
bill regardless of its fate at the White
House. Senators who anticipate that
opposition to the bonus scheme will be
perfunctory are going to be disil-
lusioned. There are some, of us in
the Senate who do not intend to be
stampeded by the unpatriotic claim
ants for Government money or their
supporters in this body. There are
parties who are going to try to save
the President from the embarrass-
ments that majority of our asso-
ciates, I regret to say. intend to un-
load on the White House.
1t developed to-day that the Demo
Gratis have decided to abandon their
program to amend the McCumber bill
by compelling the payment OF the
bonus out of the foreign debt. 1t is
probable their decision in this respect
was compelled by the realization that
1t will be many months. and in sew
eral respects many years. before this
money will be available.

Loan Proposal Comes Up.


LONDON. Aug. IL (Associated Press).--
The question of an International loan
came up during the discussion to-day be-
tween Mr.. Lloyd George and NJ Poin-
care In connection with an agreement
to take over German customs and retain
26 per cent. of the proceeds on German
exports. The idea IS that the proceeds
from the foregoing shall be paid to the
committee on guarantees. which will ap-
ply the funds to the general purposes
of German administrative expenses and
such payments as Germany must make
to the Allies under partial moratorium,
while a portion will be retained by the
committee for the service of an irterna-
tional loan, should such a loan be ar
ranged. The committee Of international
bankers may be reconYened on the ques-
tion of loan or the allied governments
may arrange for a loan by other means.
1t is estimated that the yield from
import and export taxes would place
about 1900. 100000 gold marks at the
disposition Of the Guarantees Committee,
a large proportion OF which would be in
foreign monies.
According to information received
from a French source the British coun-
ter proposals to NJ. Poincaire's plan In
clude a moratorium until the end OF
1922, conditional on Germany executing
her deliveries in kind, especially coal
and timber; enforcing laws prohibiting
the export of capital, establishing the
autonomy Of the Reichsbank and the
consolidation Of Germany's floating
debt. permitting the Reparations Com
mission to exercise executive control OF
German finances and retain the proceeds
Of 25 per cent. on exports and the pro-
ceeds from German customs

Rome, Aug. IL.
Italy is now entering a period Of civil
peace. Benito Mussoiini, head OF the
Fascist. told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent. The Fascist. he said.
will not support the reconstructed Facta
Government, but they will remain
peaceful until the Socialists or the Gov
ernment attacks them. Mussolini de-
med that his party had chosen methods
of insurrection rather than ordinary
politics. and in describing the recent
activities OF the organization said it's
moves were purely against the Social
lists and not against the State.
II am repeating what I said in the
Chamber before the Facta Government
fell" Mussolini declared. THE Fascist
will abandon lawful methods for insur-
rection the moment the State attempts
to suppress Fascistism, but such at
tempts so far have not been made"
He did not regard the military occu-
patton of Ave provinces as a Govern
ment move against the Fascist. but
merely to rsestablish order. Questioned
as to his policy toward universal suf-
frage and proportional representation,
Mussolini said that the present system

power millions of ignorant peasants.
and while the Fascist supported suf-
rage 1t advocated a repeal or a sub
stantial reform in the proportional rep
resentation act.

operation. THE interests OF production
must be considered before the interests
Of unions" Mussolini said. THE vel
fare OF the nation is above class war
fare He added that the Fascist alb
solutely forbid the right to strike for
public service employees, limiting the
right to strike to small isolated demon
strations in private industries. He ex-
planned that the policy was not to or
ganize the workers en- masse. but to Sc
lect the most advanced members from
each industry and form unions.
He asserted that the former member
ship OF the Fascist unions Of 100000
had grown to 100000 through the VIC
tories at Genoa. Ancona and Livorno.
The Fascist agrarian policy, he said. Is
against collectivism. but would form a
nation of 100000 small private farm
ers like France. 1t advocates the cut
ting up Of large estates and dividing
them UP among small private owners.

posed to the bonus scheme as a mat
ter OF principle. are determined that

full responsibility for killing IT, That
ne intends to veto the McCumber bill,
which offers the best solution the
bonus Senators have been able to
devise few, If any. tenants of Senate
seats entertain the slightest doubt.
Forcing the President.
one or the most remarkable fea-
lures of the bonus dispute is the pro-
nounced tendency displayed by Re-
publican Senators who have won repu-
tations for soundness of judgment. as
well as courage in supporting II, to
compel President Harding to do what
they would really like to do them
selves-vote to throw the entire bonus
proposition into the legislative scrap
heap.
Senator Lodge (Mass), Brandegee
(Conn.). Lenroot (Wis.). Cummins
(Iowa), Curtis (Kan.), Watson Gnd),
Kellogg (Minn) and Johnson (Cal.),
Republicans. and Reed MOI, Harri-
son (Miss.), Simmons IN. c., Robin
son (Ark) and Gerry OR. ~, Demo-
Gratis. all come within this category.
Most Of these Senators h4ve displayed
commendable courage on more than
one occasion in resisting the impor-
tuniues and demands OF noisy groups
demanding special privileges or un-
warranted rewards from the Govern
ment-
During the tariff debate most of
these Senators have acclaimed their
opposition to such demands and ex-
pressed defiance and independence of
the supporters of such mandates. Yet,
in the bonus situation all of these
Senators. who are completely con-
vinced that President Harding will
accept the responsibility for protect
ing the taxpayers from the bonus
raiders and veto a bonus bill, meekly
acquiesce In the insistence OF claim
ants for Government cash that the
McCumber bill shall be put through.
The majority OF these Senators pri-
vately admit the force and logic of ar
glments advanced by Senator's Borah,
Wadsworth. Pepper. Frelinghuysen,
among other Republicans. and Under
wood. Williams. Glass and Shields,
among Democrats, against the moral
principles and economic wisdom of the
bonus scheme. Some OF the opponents
of the bonus measure do not hesitate
to characterize the subserviency of
bonus Senators to the American Legion
as the apotheosis Of bad sportsman
ship"
They believe the leaders OF the Pres
ident's party in the Senate, beginning
with Mr.. Lodge. would win a greater
measure of popular approval by shut
ting off the Treasury faucet from the
bonus raiders than by compelling him
to assume the individual responsibility
for doing so. 1t is significant fact that
