Coal Output Jumped
100000 Tons in Week
Under Cleveland Pact
by International News Service.

Officials Of the Labor and Interior
Departments estimated today that
coal production in the United
States this week would approx
mate 100000 tons, or about

loaded on any one day since the
miners strike began on April l.
The loadings on Monday were an
increase of 1891 cars over the pre-
vious Monday, at which time the
total was 1879 cars.
During the week ending August
Il, tabulations showed S5,1s1 cars
loaded with coal, an increase OF
1880 cars over the preceding week.
The increased loadings were said
to have resulted principally from
the re-opening Of Ohio bituminous
mines under the Cleveland agree
ment.

Quotes From Memorandum.
1t is well to further quote from
a memorandum handed to the Brit
ish ambassador in June. 1920, by
the, Secretary Of the Treasury, in
regard to these loans. as follows:
1T has been at all times the
view of the United States Treas
ury that questions regarding the
indebtedness Of the government OF
the United Kingdom of Great Brit.
ain and Ireland to the United
States Government and the fund.
ing Of such Indebtedness had no
relation either 20 questions arising
concerning the war loans OF the
United States and OF the United
Kingdom to other governments or
to questions regarding the repara.
ton payments of the Central En-
pires of Europe. These views were
expressed to the representatives Of
the British treasury constantly
during the period when the United
States Government was making
loans to the government of the
United Kingdom and since that
time in Washington. in Paris and
in London"
From these two statements, 1t
appears to be quite clear that the
respective borrowing nations each
gave their own obligations for the
money advanced by the United
States, and that no guarantee of
the. obligations. Of one borrowing
nation was asked from any other
nation. This is the understanding
of the Treasury as to the status OF
the foreign obligations growing
out of the war, now held by the
United States.

PROF|TEER|NC
IN COAL WILL Be
CHECKED BY us.
Federal Fuel Distributor Says
Fair Price Schedules Will
Be Backed Up.

All the power Of the Federal gov
ernment will be used in stamping
out profiteering In coal, which hos
become rampant since the reopening
Of the mines under the Cleveland
agreement, Federal Fuel Distributor
Spencer said today.
Fair price schedules are being set
up in the various fields by State au-
thorities who have been assured OF
the closest cooperation Of the Pres
ident's Fuel Committee in holding
operators in check. The Govern
ment's chief weapon Is the power OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to withhold railroad cars from
operators who refuse to abide by the
fair price fixed in their respective
States.
A maximum price Of $3.50 a ton
for run Of mine coal has been fixed
in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Similar prices will
be set in other States as fast as the
State authorities can get action.
Governor Small. Of Illinois, and
Governor McCray. Of Indiana, have
asked the Presidents Fuel Conf
mittee to cooperate with them in
fixing fair prices in their States and
have been assured of such coopera-
ton.
Many Are Cooperating.
o. Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer
said his committee had found many
operators who were willing to abide
by the fair price schedules that have
been fixed by voluntary agreement
in some Of the fields, but others were
taking advantage, of the demand for
coal to "sky rocket their prices.
While the latter were in the
minority, Spencer said they had be-
come a disturbing element and that
prompt action would be taken 10
bring them into line.
