GOV COAL PLANS
SWING INTO GEAR
ACTIVE FUNCTIoNING WAS
STARTED TODAY
STAFF HAS ORGANIZED
Distribution Fuel To Industries
In Need and Maintain Fair e
y Prices Is Program.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

Washington, D. c., July 31-The
government machinery for emer-
gency distribution of coal swung
into gear today as the central com
mittee here, with Henry B Spencer,
federal fuel distributor, as admin
istrative head, began active function
ing under the program devised to
supply coal tc the industries and
localities where 1t is most needed
and to maintain fair price levels at
the mines. An adequate staff has
been organized to handle the rush
of reports and others expected to
flow through Washington.
Accepting only the responsibility
of keeping the railroads and inter-
state public utilities supplied with
button as between states, at the
same time through car ALLEGATIONS
holding mine prices at fair level,
the federal agency look to the var
ious states to control distribution
and prices for consumers within
their borders. In many states Gre
alton of the necessary administration
for this already has been reported
the central committee. -...
Slow Recovery In Production
AS the distribution program went
into effect, slow. recovery in produc-
ton was shown in reports of the
geological survey for the week end
ing Saturday. the estimated total
being $4,000 tons as compared
with 3,700,000 for the week pre-
yious. Production OF anthracite was
said to remain at practically zero
Stating there was mo indication o.
increased production In response to
the invitation to reopen mines in
any strongly organized districts"
the report said more coal was com
ing out of the former non union
fields of Pennsylvania with slight
increases in several other districts.
Governors Request Coal.
Requests for coal from governors
of various states have begun to
come into the federal fuel distribu
ton committee Secretary Hoover
stated today. The states, he said,
asked particularly for fuel for their
public utilities. ..
Fuel distributor Spencer was at
work today perfecting the organiza-
ton of regional committees in the
producing mine field and it was
expected that orders could be for
warded to all districts within 4S
hours.
Maintenance of the federal emer-
gency coal control organization.
Mr.. Hoover asserted, probably will
be necessary for at least three
months after the coal strike is
ended

PICNIC BY KNIGHTS
Columbian Organization Held Fes
tivities At Sleepy Eye

Sleepy Eye, August 1.-Over three
thousand people were lin attendance
at the annual district picnic of the
Knights of Columbus which was
given under the auspices of the St.
Patricks council of Sleepy Eye, at
the Sleepy Eye Lake State park,
Sunday afternoon. The people be-
gan to gather at the park early in
the day, auto loads coming from
all parts of the district and by
noon hundreds of Knights and their
families were gathered at the park
where picnic dinners were in fas-
hion from twelve to one o'clock.
The affair took on the appearance
of a great community get to- gethel
meeting, where everybody took a
hand in making the hour pleasant
one and in getting acquainted with
as many as possible.
Rev. Father O'Day, of Madison
Lake gave very interesting and
instructive talk using for his sub
ject the, Christian Nation" He
said that no nation could long sur.
teachings of Christianity, and cited
a number of instances in history to
prove his statement. He lauded the
work of the Knights of Columbus
and spoke of the wonderful accom-
plishments of this order during the
World War. He also took occasion
to compliment the people of Sleepy
Eye on their beautiful park and
their ability as entertainers. At
torney Dempsey of New Ulm, Rev.
Father Fredericks and P. J. Guldan
of Sleepy Eye also gave very inter
esting talks P. J. Guldan who is a
member of the Park Board extend
ed a most cordial welcome to the
visitors and assured them that the
people of Sleepy Eye always had
the latch string on the outside and
would always extend every courtesy
10 visitors to this city.
After the excellent addresses a
program of sports furnished enter
lainment for a couple of hours. The
water sports part of the program was
not given due to the fact that rain
storm drove the people to shelter
about -four o'clock.
The baseball game between tbs
st. Mary's base ball team of Sleepy
Eye and the Moragn team was wit
messed by a large, crowd was a
much better game than the score
indicates Sleepy Eye won the game
by a to ! score.

CAMP GREAT SUCCESS

Major Fiero and Captain Wise Re-
ceive instructions at Smelling
The Officers Reserve Camp at
Fort Smelling has just closed after a
most successful two weeks course of
instructions. Among those who
spent the two weeks in the training
tain Charles E. Wise, Jr., OF Man
kato who report that the camp
proved more successful than the
most optimistic could have predict
ed. Not only was it refresher
course but the advanced course of
instruction given at this camp by
officers from the school of the line
at Fort Leavenworth and infantry
officers school at Benning, Georgia,
was one of the gratest value to the
reserve officers.
The only thing to be regretted
was that owing to the small appro-
ration for these camps only very
small percentage of the reserve Of
ficers were fortunate enough to be
present. However, it is hoped that
the appropriation for next year will
be large enough to enable all re-
