DETROIT. August 11.-Whether
the fear of eventual power and

running at feverish speed. while
others have laid off men due to the
railroads inability to transport
freight. There is no denying that
The peak Of automobile manufactur-
ing has passed. yet the recent price
reductions have given the industry
a new impetus. Unless the strikes
interfere more seriously than they
have up to the present, a sort or sec
ondary peak is looked for this fall.
Meantime there is everywher. an
evidence of more cautious contract
rerns. notably fcundrieS, have Shut
down temporarily because of the high
cost of coal. Others. with their own
power generating plants. nave
switched over to the Edison current
supply. Steam coal sizes which sold
ut contract last spring for sl.2o Il
ton at the mine now are being offered
at $3.50 the ton. Many manufactur-
ers. though, figure il better to close
down than to pay such prices. The
paper mills here are particularly al
fected in this respect.
1t is reported here today that
number of striking union miners who
have been working in the automobile
plants are making plans to return
to, Indiana. whence they came Aprill.
The men said word had been sent
them confidentially that work in the
mines would be resumed in a few

ST. LOUIS. August 11.-Wonderful
crop indications and unexcelled basic
business conditions serve only to i'm
press the public with the grave eco

and prospective standpoint of the
rail and coal strikes There is gen.
eral and emphatic demand growing
for action to prevent commercial ruin
and this demand inclines toward the
most drastic measures. Ii necessary.
TO restore sane, normal state.
industries are reSortirS to priority
privileges to keep going and the
great majority of them are at the
crisis. The coal shortage has become
so stringent that within the past few
days railroads-some of which oper-
ate in mining territory-have begun
to seize coal at interchange points.
Factories not enjoying priority rights
confront the prospect of total shut
downs. Some large concerns have in
stalled oil-burning apparatus.
The commercial and agricultural
outlook. minus the danger of strikes.
is remarkably favorable. Banks have
immense reserves. Stocks Of all kinds
are small. Farm reports are eXeep-
tionally f1attering. Factories can op-
crate at capacity if they can set fuel
and be assured of transportation ia
cilities. Farmers will be able to mar
ket their products al good prices If
their customers are employed. The
public here sees grave dangers ahead
