COAL DICTATOR
ROLE ASSUMED
Administration VIII Pass
Fuel on to States For
Distribution
H. 3. Spencer and His Committee
Take Charge Today-Production
Shows Slight Increase.

Washington, July 31.-The Gov
ernment, with the cooperation OF the
States. assumed today the duties Of a
gigantic middleman, passing on the
coal from the producing mines to the
industries and localities which. IN the
eyes of the Government, need il most.
The organization of the Govern
ment's emergency coal distribution
agency was pronounced last night to
be nearly complete, aud Henry B..
Spencer. the Federal Fuel Distribu-
tor; his committee and advisor sub
committee. rs designated by order of
President Harding, will begin active
functioning today
Just how much coal the Government
can count on remains a matter Of
speculation. The first test of the re-
sponse to President Harding's invita-
ton to the mine owners to open their
properties was revealed Yesterday in
The weekly report issued by the Geo
logical Survey. which showed an esti-
mated production of bitumnous for
the week ending Saturday of $780,
600 tons. as cOmnared with 3,700,000
tons the week previous.
"The increase is due" the reDort
said, "partlv to more men at work in
Pennsylvania, partly to improved car
supply in Southern West VIRGINIA, and
partly to heavier shipments from Ala
bama and the Far West. Production
of anthracite remains practically
zero"
Bituminous loadirgs on the first day
of last week went UP to 1903 cars,
figures assembled by the survey
showed This was AT cars above the
loadings for the preceding Monday
but 1864 cars below the last Monday
before the shopmen's strike. Loadihgs
last Tuesday and Wednesday declined,
but slight recovery was made Thurs
day Reports for the last two days of
the week have not been finally com
piled.
"There is no indication Of increa sed
production in response TO the invita-
tion to reopen mines in anv of the
strongly organized districts" the Geo
logical Survey commented. "More
coal is coming out of the former non
union fields of Pennsylvania and a lit
tie more from the Fairmont and Ka-
nawha districts of West Virginia. but
the additional supply from these
sources is not yet significant in COM
parison with the requirements Of the
country"

Cincinnati, July 31.-0hio again is
playing Presidential politics. This
State is making bid once more, not
only for the Republican candidate IN
1924, but for the Democratic candl-
date as well.
Where is the prophet contemplating
the possibilities of the primary Aug
ust SUh and the general election on
November who cannot foresee a sltua-
tion in which the two standard bear
ers in 1924 will wear the Ohio brand
as they did in 1920?
Here are a few pertinent facts about
the business: President Harding will
be nominated to succeed himself # he
desires n second term. Not even so
powerful and resourceful leader as
Theodore Roosevelt was able to deny
a Republican President second NOM
nation Ohio, therefore. viii score
heavily on the Republican side.
The Democratic party in the nation
at the moment is without white
hope" A new leader is in demand.
But where is that leader to originate?
Ohioans answer without a moments
hesitation that he will be produced by
Ohio.
Senator Atlee Pomerene, Democrat,
is a candidate for q third term at
the hands of his Ohio constituency
He will be renominated without Sc
rious opposition. If he wins in No
vember. overturning 4 majority of
more than 100000 which Ohio gave
Mr.. Harding in 1920, Senator Pome-
rene is certain to become a potential
Presidential candidate in 1924.
Every Democratic leader in Ohio
understands this, from James NJ. Cox
down to the precinct worker. Every
Ohio Republican, from the President
to the ward boss understands it, ana
n titanic struggle will be staged in
this State in November to elect Sena-
tor Pomerene and, in electing him, to

EARLY VICTORY
IS PREDICTED
P. J. Conlon Addresses
Mass Meeting of Strikers
at Ingomar Theatre
Two Vitally Important Meetings to
be Held Tomorrow Will Decide The
Issue

Probably by Wednesday of this
week the men will know whether or
not they will go back to work on
Thursday said P. j. Conlon, general
representative of the railway en-
ployees' association, addressing a
mass meeting under the auspices of
the railway strikers held yesterday
afternoon in the Ingomar theater.
Some of the questions at issue
have been somewhat garbled by the
press, especially that in reference to
the seniority proposition said Mr..
Conlin. On Tuesday he said two I'M
portant conferences will be held, one
in New York and one in Chicago.
The solidarity of the 100000 men and
the way they have stuck together
wkas referred to by the speaker, who
said they have sacrificed everything
for their cause which they know is a
just one. He said the men would have
to make the roads think before they
will start another strike. Mr. Con-
lon said the Southern Railway offlci-
ais have been decent. When the strike
came he said the Baltimore ana ONO
wanted a separate adjustment and
its only object was to break the or
ganization nto small parts which he
said spelled disaster. One national
board he declared was sufficient TO
make rules for all.
The loyalty of the merchants of the
CITY to the men was referred to by
Mr.. Conlon who praised them and
also the local press for being far.
Rev. Robert E. Mckay, pastor Of
the Del Ray Baptist Church, SAID one
flag means liberty and righteousness
and right he declared was never de-
feated although it may appear to be.
"We are working under a constitu-
ton that gives US a right to fight for
justice" said the speaker. he urged
that during the next few days the
men on a strike pray.
An early victory for the men was
predicted by Rev. Robert Browne,
pastor of the Methodist Protestant
Church. The speaker said that the
heroes of this strike are the women
and children. The speaker scored
President Atterbury. He urged the
men not to be quitters and to be true
to their leaders who he said are men
whi will not sell them out.
Rev. Edgar Carpenter, rector OF
Grace Episcopal Church, said he was
glad to learn that the strike was
about over. The speaker congratulat-
ed the men on their splendid order
maintained during the strike and he
said he understood that the Southern
Railway Company was willing to take
back its men on the old basis. Rev.

NJ. P. PITTS INJURED
Sustains Conclusion of Brain in Fall
Down Cellar Steps

While descending the cellar stairs
in his home, 705 North Payne street,
yesterday morning carrying in his
arms his infant child, Melvin P.
Pitts fell and suffered a severe con-
cussion of the brain and remains in
semi-conscious state today. He
was attended by Dr. Llewelvn
Powell. who is uncertain as to the
seriousness Of the injuries sustained
Facts concerning the fall are
somewhat hazy. 1t seems that he
started into the cellar on an errand
carrying his baby in mis- arms. The
fall came from some reason un-
known and his head hit upon some
projection, rendering him uncon-
scious. In the fail. however, the
child escaped all injury, having
fallen on top of Mr.. Pitts. 1t is sup
posed that when he saw that he was
going to fall he threw himself so
that the echild would fall upon him.
Mr.. Pitts is employed in the gen
eral Office of the Fruit Growers Ex-
press Company in this city. and is a
prominent member of the First
Baptist Church. His many friends
learn with regret of the accident
and hope for him and speedy recovery.

OHIO IS ALREADY GROOMING
TWO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

deal staggering blow at the Harding
Administration.
Although the ascendancy of Mr..
Pomerene under such circumstances
would destroy the hope OF Governor
Cox for a second nomination, the Cox
followers here are loyal to the Senator.
They are furnishing him with about
all the organization ne has in the
State. They are helping him finan-
cially, and Mr. Cox himself is expect
ed to return from Europe in time to
take the stump iE behalf of his friend
ly rival this fall.
Against this lineup the Republican
forces will throw all the resources at
their command. State and national.
First of all they will nominate q cam
didate against Senator Pomerene a
week from Tuesday, and there seems
little doubt now that Representative
Simeon E. Fess will win After the
nomination is made the most interest
ing and perhaps the most important
State campaign in the country will be
launched.
Nor is Senator Pomerene merely a
Democratic Presidential possibility.
He is also the one outstanding figure
of national caliber around whom the
anti-prohibitiOnists gravitate at the
moment. His candidacy has raised the
wet and dry issue in acute form and
if he and Mr.. Fess head opposing tick
cts after August Sth, prohibition
promises to play as vital part in the
outcome of the November contest as
the question of repudiating the Ad-
ministration itself.
The Senator is an avowed liberal in
me matter of prohibition. He voted
against the Eighteenth Amendment,
although ne voted for the Volstead act.
! Mr.. Fess is 100 per cent dry, having
swallowed whole the dry formula, and
he is appealing openly to the dry vote
first to nominate and thereafter to
