has no coal mined now at yards or at
Mines" Mr.. Condict reports, and
cannot mine until the water has been
removed out of the shaft. About one
half Of the miners have moved out of
their districts, and 1t must be remem-
bered that a soft coal miner cannot
mine in a shaft or anthracite mine,
because OF the danger, and he must
have a license to mine.
There seems to be difficulty to get
suitable cars when coal can be had. as
was the case with us last week when
we moved the last lot of coal and
have not received the coal we should
have received two weeks ago. 1t will.
in my opinion, be at least two or three
months before fresh mined coal can
culties to get mines ready and miners
ready to work.
There appears to be no other hard
coal to be found, except some in Ken
lucky, and SO far kentucky is sold up
months ahead. There is no coal left
which was stored last March. or at
South Plainfield. stored in March by
the combination"
Mr.. Condict suggests that people
use pea and buckwheat coal by re-
placing the CRATES in ranges and fur
claiming the change could be made
at very little expense.
Many Seeking Coal.
If the present situation existed dur
ing the winter months the city would
be subjected to untold suffering, it is
a mild autumn season all dealers are
confident they will be able to tide all
of their customers over just as they
did during the war and without any
serious inconvenience on their part.
Steady streams of people found
their way to the offices of retail coal
dealers today and, according to the
dealers, many of them developed an
ugly mood when they were told their
orders would have to be limited to
promise of a delivery day.
This attitude, the dealers maintain,
is wrong. Before the war, they point
out, it was the custom to drop down
town at their whim and order an en-
tire winters supply of coal and have
when the dealers coal yards were
filled to capacity and shipment trouble
was unknown.
Nowadays the dealers coal supply
comes in driblets and consequently
he must transfer it to his customers
in driblets, exercising due care that
all will be treated with equality.
II the public will conform to the
new order in purchasing coal, the
dealers maintain, and put confidence
in their coal merchant, they will re-
ceive their winters supply of coal
just as they used to, ton by ton, and
never find their bins empty.
To be sre, this method does not
make for peace of mind on the coal
customers part, but it is essential
unless they desire, as one wholesaler
expressed it, Ito jump in and make
bad situation worse"

The former Vice President with his
wife left Boston more than a month
ago and has toured Europe. He went
to Scotland, England, France, Bel
gium and Germany.
Mr.. Marshall said he was neither
a banker nor an economist, SO he did
not want to discuss Europe to any
great extent.
I'm just an ex-Vice President" he
said. smiling, land that does not mean

arrangement which will permit Eng

Old Senate friendships were renewed

The detectives tried watching the

every night outside for a while and
watched the entrance. Nobody, not
even worm, entered or left the
building.
They tried another theory. Some
bugologist, they thought. might not
be able to Withstand the temptation
of stealing such fine worms. So the
detectives impersonated doctors and
spent days in rapt admiration of other
worms, in hopes the thief would re-
turn. Their vigil was unrewarded.
Not worm turned, or returned.

They thought somebody might be

Plans Not Given Out.
The Presidents plans were not
made public. However. 1t became
known from authoritative sources
that they embraced settlement Of all
the strikers grievances except the
wage question, which would be sub

did not strike would be placed at the
head OF the railroads seniority list.
which means that they would be as
sured of permanent work, since in
slack times the workers at the foot
of the lists are the first to be laid off.
Union shopmen who went on strike
would be placed next on the lists and
after them would come the men hired
by the roads since the strike began.
No mention was made Of the pension
rights. and it was not learned
whether this question had been in
cluded in the Presidents plan. If
pension rights should not be restored
workers who have been in the serv-
ice of their respective employers for

the privilege of retiring after a GER

BITTER MISSOURI
FIGHT NEAR CLOSE
Senator Reed and Breckin-
ridge Long Will End Cam
paign Tonight.
DEBATE NATIONAL ISSUES
Wilson Letters, League of Ma
tions and U. S. War Record
Feature Contest.
By the Associated Press.


e ST. LOUIS. Mo-. July 29.-UnIted
States Senator James A. Reed and
Breckinridge Long, third assistant
secretary of state during the Wilson
administration, tonight will close their
campaign for the democratic sena-
torial nomination to be decided at the
primary election next Tuesday. Vet
eran politicians agree their contest
has been one of the bitterest waged
in Missouri.
The democratic campaign has drawn
so much attention during the last
three months that little significance
has been attached to the contest
among the six republican candidates,
Attorney General Jesse w. Barrett, r.
R Brewster of Kansas City, State
Senator David NJ. Proctor, John G.
Mckinley. Col. John H. Hunter. U. s.
A, and William Sacks, who has been
making his campaign on a beer and
light wine platform. The third demo-
cratic candidate. r. L. Young of St
Joseph, is expected by politicians to
get few votes outside his own dis
trict.
The bitterness with which the con-
test between Senator Reed and MIR.
Long has been waged is indicated by
the forming of rid of Reed" clubs
in which women have taken great in
terest. Banners and placards bearing
this inscription have been posted IN
many towns Of the state. while others
appealing to win with Reed, De-
fender of the Peoples Rights" have
also been widely distributed.
Senator Reeds supporters are ex-
pecting many votes from the ranks
of the ex-soldiers because of his
fight for the national soldiers bonus
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce. and his record as national
food administrator during the war;
the league of nations and other is
sues opposed in the Senate by Sen
ator Reed have formed the basis of
his campaign. Woodrow Wilson felt
the sting of the typical Reed wit
and oratory when he appealed to
the voters Of the state to defeat
Senator Reed.
Politicians predict Mr.. Long will
run ahead in the rural districts St
Louis and Kansas City are regarded
as strongholds of the senator.

PRESIDENT GAINS POINT
IN 81 WING RAIL BOARD
Supremacy Is Established in Compromise
Plan, Under Which Board Gets Principal
Issues for Decision

last few days have made it clear that
the decision deprived many workmen
OF living wage. 1t is an open secret
that some members of the cabinet
here feel that the Labor Board did go
too far in the wage cut and that a
correction in some instances would
be advisable on the simple ground
of justice rather than on the theory
of bowling to labor to get a settle
ment.
Wage Revision Likely.
1t is likely therefore that the wage
decision will be revised after rehear-
ing, though one should not get the
impression that definite agreement
to that effect has been made in ad-
vance. Examination of the facts
alone leads to the conclusion that a
revision is inevitable.
AS for seniority rights. the problem
Is left to the Labor Board to work
out and the workmen realize that
they will have a better chance to OBJ
tain restoration of seniority rights
by leaving it to the board than by
conceding the right of the execu-
tives to settle 1t as they please after
the men go back to work. Again the
United States Labor Board becomes
the instrumentality Of justice, and
the President has now convinced
those who have discussed it with him
that he intends to stand back of the
board and assist 1t as far as possible
in arriving at fair decisions on the
issue raised in this strike.
I. G. c. Faced Same Fight.
The Labor Board is suffering the
same experience as the Interstate
Commerce Commission when first Gre
ated. The latter was fought in the
courts on the ground of unconstitu-
tionality, its orders were opposed, and
1t took some time before the prestige
of the commission became such that
its decisions were accepted without
contention.
Mr.. Harding believes it will take
time. but the Labor Board will occupy
judicial position Of similar strength
with a moral force binding on railroads
ana their employees. The Labor Board
new. Members are cropping their way
with new problems. Some hasty de-
cisions have been made ana some mis-
takes are admitted. But the institu-
tion itself should not be judged sim
ply because it has not been at all
times wisely operated The aim of
President Harding has been to keep
the board going and help In its i'm
provement rather than to abandon ii
for other measures. The Presidents
success in securing tentative ac-
ceptance of his. plan for settlement
of the strike through the Labor Board
is due to his persistent belief that tho
Labor Board is the salvation of the
transportation problem in America. =

Drainage L. Inadequate.
The lump sum appropriation for
laying sewers to new dwellings is not
large enough to keep pace with build
ing operations in all sections of the
city.
Here is another problem which has
arisen in recent years in the sewer
department.: When surface water in
the outlying suburbs was drained
from several directions to low
point, known as a natural pocket, it
usually found its way through an
undeveloped ravine.
In the last few years. however.
building projects have been cutting
off these natural outlets for such
drainage, and the city must now seek
funds to install trunk sewers at these
pockets.
Among the locations where the fore
going situation has arisen are: Fes-
sender street and Wisconsin avenue,
street and 18th street and Blagden
avenue.
The board of education has asked,
in round numbers. for S6.400.000 for
operation of the school system and
continuation of the building program
next year.
Lower SCHOOL Estimate.
This total is approximately two mil
lions less than the school authorities
asked for last year and was some
what of a surprise at the District
building. where the consensus of
opinion was that the school estimates
would approach the ten-million mark.
1t is understood the new school
budget provides funds for the pur-
chase of sites for new Business and

needed to relieve the congestion ex-
listing in the high schools Of the city
According to reports, approximate

salaries and between s2,500,000 and
100000 for buildings.

All the principal points in dispute in
the rail strike are left to the United
States Railroad Labor Board to adjudi-
cate.
This is the essence of the compro-
mise settlement drafted by President
Harding and informally approved by
the spokesmen of the contending
parties.
The President has won his point-the
Labor Boards supremacy must be rec
ognized by both railroads and work
men. The fact that both sides have
seen fit in the past to disapprove the
decisions Of the board is regarded as
the best proof of its impartiality.
Wants Board to Act.
Mr. Harding feels that long step
toward permanent peace in the rail-
plished by the cooperation Of the rail-
roads and shopmen in the controversy
which Is just being brought to an end.
Their example is bound to be prece-
dent for future disputes and that's why
Mr.. Harding has labored to make the
solution come through the Labor Board
instead of through national or regional
agreements between roads and their
men. The transportation act provides
for the creation Of regional adjustment
boards over whose decisions the United
States Labor Board has the right Of re-
vision.
But the main points that are to be
solved in the windup Of the present
strike will come under the Labor Board
itself and. while neither the railroads
nor the employees representatives have
been inclined to place much reliance
on the efficacy of the Labor Board here
tofore, they will from now on have a
different attitude toward it.
Life Of Board Saved.
The President, for instance, is giving
his attention to those decisions of the
Labor Board which have been disre-
garded by the railroad executives. It
win take time to get the same measure
Of obedience from both sides. but the
President haE saved the life Of the
Labor Board et q moment when it
seemed 10 becdohe the catspaw Of both
Sides
The settlement Of this strike, there
fore. on q basis which requires respect
for the Labor Board Is counted upon by
Mr.. Harding to make the solution of
other rail problems much easier and to
eliminate future causes of friction
which otherwise might lead to a stop
page of transportation.
