COAL PRODUCTION is
UP DESPITE STRIKE
5,o0o,00 Tons Is Weeks Output In
Btuminous Fields.

Washington.-Rep from the BIZ
luminous coal fields still operating in
spite of the general mine strike show
ed a general and notable increase
in production setting in last week,
the geological survey has reported.
For four successive days including
Thursday-the last reported railroad
cars loaded with new coal numbered
more than 14.600 and on Tuesday
the total was 1902 cars.
The survey estimated this would
give a total production of more than
100000 tons for the week, as COM
pared with a high previous week,
April 1, when the strike was called
of about 4,5OO,000 tons.
"The increase is largely in re-
sponse to higher prices and more ac-
tive demand the report said, call
ing into production mines which have
been hitherto working only part
time, in districts not affected by the
strike. To a much smaller extent,
the increase results from resumption
of work in eastern Kentucky and
southern West Virginia"
The survey added that at is clear
that consumers stocks must be fall
ing, but by how much is uncertain" !"
Anthracite production remains al
most completely stopped by the

WAGE CUT WILL AMOUNT TO
MORE THAN FoRTY-EiGHT
MILLION DOLLARS.
WILL AFFECT 100000 MEN
Decrease Affects Mostly Maintenance
of Way Workers and Cut May Be
Extended to Other Classes.
A Bin saving.

Chicago-More than $4S,000.0 900 was
slashed from the wages of 100000
railway employees in decision by the
United States Railroad Labor Board
here.
The decreases, which averaged five
cents per hour in the majority of
cases. followed cuts of s400,000.000
made last July by the board. The
new decision, however. affects mostly
maintenance of way workers, although
decisions are pending affecting other
classifications.
If the wage cuts made in this lat
est decision are extended to others
expected soon, 1t was pointed out in
railway circles, much of the $500, ,000,-
900 increase given by the. board ir
1920 will be wiped out and wages re-
stored to level which railway Off
cials have told the board will lead to
new era Of development and open
the way to the employment of 100000
men.
The decision was signed by the three
railway members of the board and the
three members representing the pub.
lie. A dissenting opinion was filed by
the three members representing the
labor group. The majority opinion
said that the wage cuts, effective July
1. were made in accordance with de.
creases in the cost of living. The
minority opinion contended that the
wage scale provided III the decision
was insufficient to sustain life on the
basis of American standards.
The dissenting opinion was signed
by the three labor members OF the
board, A. o. Wharton, Albert Phillips
and w. L. McMenimen. The opinion
gives extended tables and testimony
on which the labor group bases its
decision that the wage cut is not JUS
titled.
"The rates OF pay established under
this decision" the dissenting opinion
said. will merely perpetuate the low
level of purchasing power possessed
by this large class of workers in pre-
war years"

NO BID OF THE ENTIRE LOT IS
AccEPTED-ALL RECEIVE
COUNTER PROPOSALS.
FoRD's OFFER IS NEAREST
Committee Acts In Way Which Leaves
Acceptance of Muscle Shoals Of
fer Open To Any Interest Will
ing To Meet Its Terms.

Washington. - Bidders competing
for development by private enter
prise of the governments $1060OO,-
900 war initiated projects at Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, has received their
answers by the House military COM
mittee in the form of counter-pro-
posal framed by the committeeman.
None of the offers submitted by
the bidders and forwared to Congress
by Secretary Weeks for final deci-
sion was found acceptable. That
made by Henry Ford came closest to
winning the award in that it was
made the basis upon which the COM
mittee built its reply.
The committee acted in a way, it
was explained, which will leave its
decision subject to acceptance by
any person or interest willing to
meet its terms and which will permit
it, at the same time, to support its
counter-proposal before the House
when the subject of Muscle Shoals
is acted upon in that body.
No time was lost by the bidders In
calling for their answers. w. B, Mayo
chief engineer for Mr.. Ford, was the
first to receive a copy of the COM
mittees plans, the Representatives Of
the Alabama Power Company, Fred
Engstrum, Charles Parsons, makers
of other bids, were asked to advise
the committee whether they would
accept the proposal. Mr.. Mayo said
he would confer with Mr. Ford in De-
troit before giving an answer.

CUT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE
ON JULY FIRST.
ESTABLISH RATE OF RETURN
Government Experts Have Estimated
Cut Will Reduce the Nations
Cost of Livng-Figure Saw
ing Of $40 Year To
Each Person.

Washington.-A reduction in freight
rates throughout the country has been
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission. The reductions are to
be effective July /.
The commission also has declared
railroad rates in the future would be
based on return of "a per cent
on the aggregate value of the lines,
as compared with per cent under
the Cummins-Esch law. The provi-
sion of the Cummins-Esch law recent
ly expired and the commission was
given the right to fix a new rate OF
return.
In making the reductions the com
mission cut nearly in half the freight
rate increases authorized Aug. %,
1920. In the eastern district the 40
per cent increase of Aug. 25, 1920,
was cut to 26 per cent.
In the western district the previous
35 per cent increase was cut to 21 1-2
per cent.
Inter-territorial rate increass Of Aug.
25, 1920. averaging 33 ga per cent.
were cut to 20 per cent.
The announcement of the rate cut
came as a surprise. 1t had been
supposed that the administration
would continue its efforts to reach a
voluntary agreement with the railroad
executives by which greater rate re-
ductions could be put into effect at
once.
The commission declared that the
cuts which affect all interstate freight
rates. would not decrease the earnings
Of the railroads below the "a per
cert level agreed upon by the commits
sion.
Commissioner Lewis held that the
decrease was too small to be OF much
help in cutting living costs and help
ing business back to normal.
Commissioner Cox agreed that pass
enger rates also should be cut.
Chairman McChord took exception,
sin separate opinion, to fixing the
fair return to the railroads at 5.75
per cent, saying 1t was too high
"At this time," said McChord, 81
am very strongly opposed to fixing
a rate of value of the railway prop
erty and in any event to rate of 5.75
per cent. If rate return is to be
fixed at all, l think it should not ex.
ceed 5.5 per cent, which was that
fixed by congress at time when con.
ditions were at their worst, and which
seems to me not only adequate for
present conditions, but for future ad.
justment.

Miss Korb, Soprano, Heard.

Another promising young singer was
stlade known to local music lovers yes-
terday afternoon when Miss May Korb,
soprano. gave song recital in Aeolian
Hall. Miss korb revealed herself as n
diminutive person with a voice Of mod
crate power. light and charming quail
fty and possibilities evidently not yet
completely developed. This does not
mean that Miss korb did not sing well.
She could hardly do otherwise, since
she Is pupil OF that famous retired
artist whom the Berlin Tdoeblott re-
Gently called "the internationally be-
loved Marcella"--meaning Nine. Mar
celia Sembricl.
Miss korb sang we'll In go far as tech
rio and style were concerned. She
disclosed a commendable command of
the art OF tone production, skill in treat
Inent Of the phrase and delightful taste.
especially pleasing was her singing OF
some or the familiar songs OF her teach
cr's repertory. such as the Mermaid
Song" of Haydn. Miss Korb denomi-
mates herself colorature soprano. but
tho lyric possibilities OF her voice
are large and In measure already de-
veloped.
But without doubt the young singer
Will learn more about color. as II is
called, that indefinable alteration of
vocal quality which imparts to the musi-
cal utterance the character of varied
emotions. Her recital yesterday showed
that she had not yet discovered this
secret OF lyric eloauence. Few indeed
do. Older concertgoers remember how
the. shimmering tints OF Mime. Sem
brich's voice conveyed the whole SUBJ
tie range OF feeling from tears TO
ecstasy. Miss Korb. however. did much
TO win praise and promised more. Her
audience was enthusiastic.
