COAL. STOCKS ON
HAND ARE LARGE
REPORTS REVEAL
There Is a Diminishing De-
mand and Stagnant Mar
kas for All Grades; Prices
Are Unchanged.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago. April 22 (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-The end of the
third week of the nationwide sus-
'pension of coal mining operations
finds large stocks on hand, a di-
minishing demand and stagnant
markets for all grades at prices
practically unchanged compared
with values of april /.
Trade reports here show practI-
caly no demand for industrial or
domestic coal except for use in
steel plants, which require a quail
ity produced almost exclusively in
West Virginia and Kentucky fields,
Illinois fields report approximate
ly 100000 tons of state production
in storage.
Trade estimates indicate there is
still on hand about 52,000,000 tons
of the 63,000,000 above ground at
the beginning of the suspension.
Non-union field production dur
ing the past three weeks is esti-
mated at abtut 100000 tons.
Weekly consumption now is es-
timated at 100000 tons.
Anthracite production mas been
completely stopped.
Kentucky and West Virginia BIZ
luminous output Of blast furnace
grades ie reported to be short of
requirements, which has forced
several plants to fuel oil consump-
tion and dthers to restricted opera
ton. Kentucky is operating under
union contract, while the West
Virginia fields are the center Of
the attack of the mine workers
upon non-unionized mining forces.
Production there is restricted, but
how much is uncertain. Upon the
outcome in this region, those best
informed believe, depends the ulti-
mate result of the suspension. Ma
tional headquarters of the union
report a growing roll of men out
of the pits, placing the number now
at $4,000.

Washington, April 22.-Senator
| Borah, republican, Idaho, states in
letter to the Pocatello, Idaho
post, American legion, that If he
voted for the soldiers bonus bill.
ut would be simple matter OF
barter, in which / use the people
money to buy somebody's vote"
The letter was in response to a
telegram received by the senator
from the Pocatello post and was
made public tonight by him.
Il observe in your telegram" 1t
says, "the threat which you i'm
pliedly make as to future political
punishment. 1t was wholly un-
necessary for you to make this
threat. 1t reflected no credit upon
you, and it has had no effect what
ever upon me. When you come to
that fight in which you propose to
inflict punishment, you will doubt
less be able to say many things in
the way of censure upon my pub
lie record.
But one thing neither you nor
anyone else will be able to say and
that is that | ever sought to pur-
chase political power by drafts
upon the public treasury, or that
| chose to buy n continuation in
office by putting four billions OF
dollars upon the bended backs OF
American taxpayers.
81 haven't much resDect for

though he pays fer IL with his
own money. But the most
Shiny creature which disgraces
American politics is the man
who buys office by paying for
it with appropriations out OF
the public treasury and charg-
es his venal political obIiga- 4
tlons TO the taxpayers.
II | thought this measure r.
proper one | could and would vote
for it, but believing with thou

which the account of my political

"Of course. you understand that

veteran"
AT the outset OF his letter Sena-
tor Borah said he had taken his
position on the bonus "after great
consideration and with much re-
luctance.' He added that he un-
derstood perfectly the criticism it
would bring and "the condemna-
ton 1t would invite" but believ-
ing that his position was a right
eous one, he could not change.

Washington. April 22.--Trans-
portation rates on products Of ag-
riculture as on many other COM
modities now "bear a dispropor-
tionate relation to the price 'of
such commodities" and should be
Immediately reduced, according to
finding of the joint congressional
commission of agricultural inquiry,
announced today by Chairman An
derson. Not only should these
freight charges come down. the re-
port declared, but in the future
rate making bodies and railroad
traffic officers should give great
er consideration tosthe relative val
ue of commodities in the making
of rates" and let existing charges
on high priced finished products
stand, il necessary to remove cost
burdens from basic materials.
General Result.
Effects of freight rates are en-
phasized, 1t was said, because on
perishables "they amount normal
ly to one-third Of the selling price
and frequently twothirds," and
purchasers and farmers are de-
penlent in a marked degree upon
transportation charges" in rates.
The general result of increased
railroad rates and depressed COM
modify prices was to bring rail-
road rates on farm products in Oc-
tober, 1921, to an index average
of 169 or roughly 50 per cent above
pre-war levels, while farm prod
ucts stood at 102, or barely 2 per
cent above pre-war.
The commission found that
livestock shows marked fluctua-
tions in shipment volume" and
that railroads. stockyards and
shippers should cooperate to even
out the supply at market points,
thus preventing price and charge
impositions while hay, as the
bulkiest farm commodity required
"a reduction in both freight and
sales margin before there can be
resumption of normal shipments"
Costs on livestock distribution also
must be brought down, it was held.
Dairy Products.
on dairy products and on cot
ton, the commission concluded that
freight charges had not had so Sc
rious an effect as upon some, other
farm stuffs and as to wool, Mr..
Anderson remarked that its price
''to the producer has been de-
pressed somewhat by freight
rates but primarily by disorderly
and unscientific marketing.
Coal and steel, being of "inti-
mate interest" to the farming
consuming population, the COM
mission likewise declared that
freight charges on steel represent
ed Al per cent of its cost, while BIZ
luminous coal should be subject
ed ito reductions in mine prices,
freight rates and sales margins"
Wages in the last named industry,
it was added, SHOULD be consid-
cred in the light of prevailing
economic conditions and market
ing methods improved.

KING s ADVOCACY
Of BLOCKADE IS
A JOKE E--0bREGQN
Senator's Plan to Guarantee
Payment of American
Claims Against Mexico Isl
Not Taken Seriously.
(By The Associated Press, /,

Mexico City, April 22 (by the AS
sociated Press) The statements
made in the United States by Sem
ator King. advocating a blockade
Of Mexico and the seizure of Mexi-
can ports as guarantee for the
payment of American claims
against Mexico, were described to-
day as a joke and the senator was
characterized as "the newest ace
of the interventionists' by Presi-
dent Obregon in an interview with
the newspaper correspondents.
The president said he did not be-
lieve the declarations of Senator
King would affect public opinion,
either in the United States or Mex
leo and that they were unimport-
ant so far as recognition of Mexico
was concerned. The recognition
status, the president added. was
unchanged. Nor can 1t be changed
at present. ne added.
General Obregon did not know
of any specific points to be dealt
with next week when the five lead
ing American oil men will hold a
conference with Mexican officials,
but he said he understood the mat
ter of pooling of interests in de-
velopment work will be discussed.
The "big five" will not, however,
be given the exclusive right of
such pooling, he added, as the Pc
titions of other companies along
the same lines will be accorded
equal consideration.
Minister of Finance de Ia Huerta
will arrive here tomorrow morning
at s o'clock and the oil men. trav-
cling on a special train, are due to
reach the capital two hours later.
The president said he believed the
conferences would start Monday
but that there was nothing like a
serious conflict between the COM
panies and the Mexican govern
ment, as all the taxes for the past
three months have been promptly
paid and without protests.

FORD BEGINS
BlCPR0CRAM
First Shipment of Iron Ore
Sent From His Mine at
Michigan to River Rouge

Michigamme, Mich, Aug. 2.-(By
the Associated Press.) - Marking
what is believed here to be h start
of a great development program by
Henry Ford, the first shipment Of
iron ore from Mr.. Ford's mine here
has been sent to River Rouge, near
Detroit. for conversion into iron and
steel hat next will be seen in auto
mobiles and tractors.
About 500 tons of ore is being sent
daily to Escanaba by rail and there
dumped on an ore boat for the De-
troit district. AT River Rouge the
ore will be put through the Ford
blast furnaces. The only break in
the procession from the Ford owned
mine to the Ford produced auto-
mobiles. is in the railroad n boat
lines necessary to carry the ore. Mr..
Ford has not vet attained control OF
these transportation facilities.
The mine, known as tho Imperial,
will supply but a small percentage Of
the iron needed in the Ford indus
tries but it is believed here other
similar developments will follow, the
manufacturer owning 400, 900 acres
of land in the upper Michigan PENN
sula and rich deposits of ore are be-
leved by experts to underLe at least
a part of this vast tract.
Operation of the Ford mine near

tries carried or by the manufacturer

for the men are revolutionary. min

come out of the mine they remove
their working clothes. stand under
warm shower baths, Tor street cloth

wage is Sc a day for older employees
and SIS a day for those more recently
added to the payroll. The eight hour
day prevails.
The rooms in which the miner.
change their clothing is as carefully
maintained as is the locker room Of !
club or university gymnasium.
Mr.. Ford also has changed the style
ofl buildings at the mouth of the
mine. Most mine structures are Cor.

The Ford buildings are of metal, latt
