INCREASED COAL MINING
TO END PRIORITY PLAN
Specific System to Be Dropped, But
Certain Provisions Will Be
Kept for Time,

ASpI LUZ 411uc.
Increased coal production will en-
able discontinuance by next Monday
of the specific priority system. under
which the federal fuel distribution
committee has been moving coal be-
tween designated places. Secretary
Hoover announced yesterday.
A percentage of great lakes ship
ments, Mr.. Hoover declared. will still
continue to move under the special
priority orders. but the needs of New
England will be cared for under the
regular priority classifications, which
will be continued, at lesat for the
present. Mr.. Hoover declared, "the
most dangerous stage" In the coal
price situation had passed. except for
anthracite, for which, he declared,
there would probably have to be con-
siderable substitution by hard coal
users next winter.
The Commerce Secretary expressed
the belief that soft coal production
during the present week would be
at least 100000 tons. as compared
with between S.50o,oo0 and 4,oOOO 900
weeks; that next weeks production
should reach 100000 tons and that
within a week or ten days the daily
production should reach about $780,
600 tons weekly.
He declared. however, the country
obviously was faced with a shortage
of usable freight cars. which may
be expected to become acute in about
a month, although meanwhile, it was
believed, great deal of coal could be
moved.
A fuel conservation section. with
headquarters at New York, has been
established by the Shipping Board.
Specific duties entrusted to the
section are to make studies Of the
methods of operation of vessels as
regards their motive power. The
board has chartered Its seventy
seventh vessel for transporting coal
from the United Kingdom to this
country, and now has contracted to
transport more than $4,000 tons of
coal from Great Britain.

CHINESE KEEP WATCH
OF BOL LSHEVIST ENVOY
Preaching of Communism to Stu
dents Is Alarming Foreign
Office

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1922.
PEKTNG, August 25.-The foreign
Office is taking notice of the ac-
tivities of A. A. Joffe. the. bolshevist
emissary to Peking. Assisted by a
large staff, supplied with plenty of
funds and living regally. he is con-
centrating his propaganda energies
on work among the Chinese students.
This is considered dangerous at the
present time because of the fiery
nature of the radical students, many
of whom are converts to communism,
and because of the precarious con-
6ition of the Peking government
Thus far Joffe's propaganda
speeches have centered upon ex-
tolling revolutionary methods, to
praising the free thinkers among the
statements like these: our great
revolution was planned by youths
and the most revolutionary leaders
come from the student class" See
the glorious name the youths of
Russia are enjoying today"

COAL LOADINGS INCREASE
1850 Cars Wednesday Second
Dailv Record Since Strike.

Coal loadings Wednesday totaled
1850 cars, according to reports re-
ceived today from the coal-carryfng
railroads by the Association of Rail-
way Executives. This was an increase
of 397 cars over the preceding day and
except for Monday, August 81. when
1908 cars were loaded, was the
greatest number loaded on any one
day since the strike of coal miners
began April l..
Comparisons show that the increase
in coal loadings is largely due to in
creased shipments in the eastern and
Allegheny regions, where agreements
have been reached by union officials
and certain coal operators. the asso-
citation said.
