OUTpUTOFS SOFT
COAL REDUCED
SIXTY PER CENT
Production Dropped First
Week of Strike to g.
100000 Tons
SITUATION REVIEWED
Geological Survey Analyses COndi-
tiOns-ThOusands of Loaded Cars on
Sidings Awaiting Billing Orders.

Washington, April 10.-PrOduction
of bitumnious coal in the United
States dropped to 100000 tons-the
lowest in modern coal histOYy-while
work in the anthracite fields ceased
entirely" during the first week of the
coal strike, according TO q review of
the industry issued yesterday by the
United States Geological Survey,
Reports received by the survey in
dicated that from sc to Ga per cent. of
the bituminous tonnage of the coun-
try has been closed down by the strike,
while of the remainder "a significant
portion has not been operating recent
~ for lack of demand" In the first
week of the 1919 strike, the survey
said, II per cent. of the bituminous
fields were closed, but "the anthracite
mines operated at capacity"
Taking April as the FIST real test
of the effect of the strike, the survey
noted that coal loadings aggregated
11,445 cars against 3S,05G cars on the
same day of the preceding week. This
total was continued without substan-
tial change through the next five days
fixing an estimated production for the
week of three and a half million tons.
Production of bituminouS increased
almost to the last shift before The
strike call, but because of the decline
on the last day of the week, Satur-
day, April /, the aggregate produc-
ton of 10,453,0A0 tons was slightly un-
der that of the preceding week.
Heavy production also marked the
last five working days in the anthra-
cite fields, according to the survey,
3G.255 cars being loaded
Bituminous coal production during
the first week Of the coal strike was
estimated at slightly under 100000
tons by the National Coal Assocla-
tion, when declared that while this
tonnage was below the capacity Of the
non-union fields, "the only reason for
the restricted production is to be found
in the inability of the operators to find
Il alnarket for their coal"
Thousands of cars of coal are
standing on the mine sidings awaiting
billing orders" statement issued by
the association last night said. Re
ports from non-union fields state that
production is running at various rates
from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, or 50
per cent normal In the union fields
the factor limiting production is, in
general, the strike, but in the nom
union fields the limiting factor is de-
scribed rs continued lack of orders.

faction to the Administration.

Washington, April 10.-"Revision

vice system, to give political appoint
i've power free hand in tlN most re-
SponsibIe ard best paid positions, may
result from the Administrations dis
satisfaction with some of the phases
Of Civil Service.
John II. Bartlett, First Assistant
Postmaster-Cereral, formerly presi-
dent Of the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission, in formal state
ment Yesterday asserted that aagres-
sive advocates Of civil service have
been dcfea ing its original purpose by
extending il into the realm of what
may be termed administrative Off
GERS" he laid it down as reasonably
sound doctrine" that an administra-
tion should nave "a perfectly free
hand to select all those higher Off
cials to whom have Just been entrusted
administrative policies and executive
discretion
Practical application Of this doc
trine. It is fair to surmiSe. among 9th
er changes, would result in n clean
political sweep at the tops Of the null
titudes Of Federal bureaus, where
now many of the bureau chiefs are
under civil service. Most of them
could be described IS officials to whom
are intrusted policies and executive
discretion.
The statement Of the First Assis-
tant Postmaster-G General who, inciden
tally, is the official of that particular
department with direct supervision
over postmastorships and appoint
merts, adds to the evidence which has
been accumulated that the Admins
tration Of President Harding is con-
sidering the advisability of civil SER
vice modification which. if it is to
come. undoubtedly will be accomplish
ed in the name OF good of the ser
vice" but which in practical effect will
open the way to a host Of jobs for

ONNAVALBILL
BY MINORITY
One Democrat and Five Re-
publicans to Fight to
the End
WILL HAVE BACKING
Big Navy" Men Behind Them-Say
L. y. Delegates Would be DenOune-
ed Had Treaty So Reduced Force.

Washington, April l0.-The action
Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee in reporting naval appropri2-
tion bin cutting heavily into the per-
sonnel for the navy, favored by the
personnel for is savagely aSSalled IN
a dissenting report made public yes
terday by a minority Of the commit
tee.
This minority IS composed of Repre-
sentatives Tinkham, Ware, Watson,
Magee, Gallivan and Husted-tiye OF
whom are Republicans and one 2 Dem
ocrat. Ii appears to be determined
10 fight to the last ditch, and It will
have material aid on the floor of the
House from members of the Naval
Affairs Committee.
simultaneously with the issuance Of
the minority report from the Approp
riationS Committee, Representative
Macarthur, of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee made a statement charging
that the Appropriations Committee
is seeking to determine the navel poll-
cy of the country and that if it cor
tinUes it's policy there Will be 4 revolt
against a central money committee in
the House. Mr.. Macarthur predicted
success for the "big navy" men on the
floor of the House.
The minority report from the APP
Propriatiof Committee hold that the
strength of the navy must be deter
mined by it's relation to the British
and Japanese navieS in line with the
5-5-3 ratio established at the Wash
ington Conference, and the report
charges that the majority report ig-
nores this basic policy and proposes to
give the United States u smaller naval
force than either Great Britain or
Japan, and also to establish a princi-
pie "for which no responsible states
man has ever stOOd-the principle OF
limitation of armament by example. y
"Had our delegates" declares the
minority report, negotiated treaty
that placed this country below Great
Britain or Japan i'm naval strength,
they would have been denounced as
traitors. Not single vote of the
Senate would have been recorded in its
favor. Yet this bill proposes to place
this country in that very position"
The minority report also argues that
if the hill reported by the majority is
adoutcd, the United States will sink
To the level of a third rate naval pow
or, with little voice in fuPre world
councils. and claims that the potential
superiority of the American navy was
the controlling factor in the negotia-
tionS in the Conference On the Limita
