SLUMP IS REPORTED
IN GERMAN BUSINESS
nv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 10. = German
economic conditions present a gloomy
aspect as the summer approaches,
Commercial Attache Herring at Der
lin declared in a report toay to the
commerce department. April, he re-
ported, saw the beginning of slump
in German business generally.
Production has decreased, he stated.
business is less brisk in the domestic
market, German foreign trade again
shows an unfavorable balance the crop
outlook is bad and the general cost OF
living is steadily rising. Industry is
hampered by lack of coal and raw ma
terials and by wage advances, he said,
and less capital is being absorbed.
Early indications that the steady in.
flation of German currency would be
checked he said, have not been real
lied while the increase of circulation
in April was probably the highest
which has been reached and the float
ing debt in treasury bills likewise was
augmented to a record figure.

OPERATORS SAY CUT
IN ANTHRACITE WAGE
MEANS CHEAPER COAL
tRy Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, May 19.-Wage cuts
which may be enforced in the anthra-
cite industry will result Immediately
in cheaper coal to the people, oper-
ators announced today after their Of
fer to settle with the striking miners
on basis of 81 per cent wage reduc-
tons
The offer was made as reply to
the miners demand for an increase Of
20 per cent for contract men and 81
day for shift workers, made prior TO
the strike which began April /.
Reductions of Is per cent for con
tract men and s1.20 a day for shift
workers were proposed by the oper
ators yesterday Although refused,
they will form "a basis for future ne
gotiations," labor leaders asserted.
What we have definitely made up
our minds to do is to lower the price
of coal" said s. D. Warmer. spokes-
man for the operators This is the
reason for our 1ns1stence that a re-
duced scale be put into effect.
80 Cent Reduction.
The average labor cost of a ton of
hard coal prior to the strike was
1892, he said. A reduction of 81 per
| cent in wages would mean cut of
so cents in this labor cost, he pointed
| out
Mr.. Warmer declined to say what
part of this reduction would be applied
| TO domestic or household coal. 1t
might be so cents, he said; 1t might
/ be more or less.
Just what reduction in hard coal
prices to the consumer resulted would
| depend on the competitive market in
steam sizes of anthracite-upon how
much if any we are compelled to cut
F., the prices of buckwheat and pea sizes
TO compete with soft coal producers.

VETERANS TO FIGHT
 FOR WINE AND BEER
This Issue Will in All Probability Be Taken Up at New Orleans
 Convention.

New Orleans, Oct. II (By Asso- ciated Pross) ).-Iight wine and beer will in all probability be made an is- vention of the American Legion which opens here October 16 and continues until the goth This information came today from sources in close touch with the convention plans.
 National officials of the Legion here in advance of the convention, ex- pressed doubt as to whether the light floor of the convention, declared it to be their opinion that any resolution on the subject would not go further than the resolutions committee. Dele- gates already here, however, were in clined to think that the possibility of a resolution on the subject being brought before the convention was any previous convention.
 It is conceded generally that po- litiCa issues will be made sharper at this convention than at any previous session.
 Criticism of Brig. Gen. C. F. Saw yer, personal physician to the presi- dent and acting as co-ordinator of the activities of the veterans bureau in it's disqualification work for the ben cit of wounded veterans is generally expected. Gen. Sawyer's attitude has been sharply criticised by national officials of the Legion.

AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
 IS NOW NECESSITY
Asst. Postmaster General Disclose, Rapid Strides Made In Aerial
 Deliveries.

Detroit, Oct. 11.-More than 12,00C pounds of first class mail is delivered from three to four hours earlier each day than would be the case if the postoffice department had no air mail service, Assistant Postmaster Gen Henderson declared today in an ad dress at the international aerial meet here. The point of view of the de- rartment, he added, lis that the peo- pie are entitled to and should be given full advantage of additional speed in the matter of handling mail matter. .
 Mir. Henderson explained that the air mail service at the present consists of relay advance of mail from New York across the continent and vice versa, none being taken for com plete trip across the continent.
 Mir. Henderson further explained to get from the airplane all that it may cffer in the shape of postal service, it will be necessary to fly at night"
 With this thought in mind" he continued, tive have for the past four months conducted an extensive series of experiments and study. Our ex- pertinent has reached the stage where ii is, I think, safe to conclude that it is entirely possible to fly at night We expect within few weeks to light as an experiment our Chicago field and I predict that in six or eight months we will be able to fly from Chicago to Cheyenne at night"
