Another Coal Strike Is
Only Trade Uncertainty

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The only
chies business uncertainty, econo-
mists assert. is the possibility Of an
other coil strike after we have re-
covered from the effects of the last
one. The bituminous coal mine own
ers must make a new contract with
the mine,s. by April ! next. While
another strike is possible in five
months, there is hope that the mat
ter will be settled in advance. as
Congress has already authorized a
commission to study the situation.
The present contract with the an
thracite miners is to continue until
next September. Consequently, if
the bituminous miners walk out next
April, the country will have a good
supply Of coal. The anthracite
workers will continue production
and consumers may take advantage
OF this by getting winter require.
ments in the summer. Another fact
Is that there are 100000 non-union
bituminous miners who will continue

CUT IN CAR FARES
HELD UP UNTIL 1928
No Reductions in Present
Rates Contemplated Be.
fore Next March.

The present street car fare of
six tokens for 40 cents or cents
cash fare will continue to be the
rate on all local lines until next
March.
1t has been known for more than
a week that the commission con.
siders the earning power of the
street railway companies is lower
now than last spring when the
rates were fixed and that unless
the method Of determining the fares
could be shown to be wrong the
present schedule would Be continued.

the right of the commission to base
its decision Of what Is a fair re.
ture on the combined valuations of
the two companies has not been
divulged, it is expected that it will
sustain the past practice.
The matter Of street car fare re-
duction came up several weeks ago
as the result of petition made by
the Federation of Citizens Associa.
tions to have a cut ordered on the
lines Of the Capital Traction Com.
pany. The federation offered evi.
dence at the recent hearing to show
that the Capital Traction Company
was earning at rate of more than
3 per cent and probably as high
as II per cent on the commission s
valuation Of the company.
At the hearing it was asserted by
the representatives of the federation
that the commission could not un.
der the law creating 1t consider the
two companies together. The Wash.
ington Railway and Electric Com.
pany's earnings are stated to be far
below those of the Capital Traction
Company.
A decision in this rate case is ex.
pected next week. Stephens opin'
ion will probably be filed with the
commission either today or Tuesday.
1t was reported that last minute
efforts are being made to force a
reduction in the cash fares. The
commission is being told that the
Scent fare is discriminatory to the
cash fare rider. who in many cases
is the least able to pay. This rate
may be cut to z cents.

COTTON POOL GETS

Andalusia.

These represent a cotton production of more than 2,000 bales.
 This movement has found hearty indorsement in Covington and opin- ions prevail that many thousands of dollars will be saved every year to the cotton growers of Covington county through this plan of co-opera- tive selling.
