Indianapolis, April 20.-Coal prices
are going up on the western whole
sale market as result of the ma
tion-wide miners strike, according
to reports reaching United Mine
Workers headquarters here today.
The wholesale reserve supply
stored by Illinois and Indiana mine
owners is being depleted rapidly
and they are holding what they still
have on hand to maintain their idle
properties-or selling it at increased
rates.
Southern Illinois mine run coal
Is bringing SO to $3.50 a ton. Be-
fore the strike it sold at wholesale
for 1926 to $3.50. Similar increases
were reported in mine run from
central Illinois and Indiana fourth
and fifth vein.
Products of the non-union fields
of West Virginia command the same
prices they did three weeks ago be-
fore the strike started.

BRIDGE WORK IN
NORTHERN GRADY
IS TO CARRY ON
Damage Done by Rains Estimated at
$1,000; MeEIroy Plans Replace
Wooden Structures With
Concrete.

Bridge and earthwork loft In the
trail OF recent rains in the northern
commissioners district viii total ap.
proximately $4,000; according to Tom
McElroy, chairman of the board OF
county commissioners and represen-
tatiye of the northern district.
Several small bridges were washed
out, others were damaged while the
earthwork around number was
washed away, MIR. McElory says. Not
a township in the district escaped
without some loss OF this kind, the
commissioner says.
Work OF repairing the damaged
property and getting the roads in
shape already has been started. The
washed out wooden bridges will be
replaced with better structures II the
desires OF Mr.. McElroy are realized.
The bridge over Boggy creek, one
and one half miles south of Minco,
went down before IT, attack Of the
waters. This bridge, constructed
more than two years ago. proved
unsubstantial and had sunk several
feet before the recent rains. The
board recently awarded a contract
for the replacement of this bridge
with q modern REINFORCED concrete
structure at a cost of approximately
$4,000. Work on the new structure
will be started this week. A tempo
rary arrangement whereby traffic
over the highway may be carried on
unmolested is being completed to-
day, Mr.. McElroy says.
There are 367 wooden bridges in
the northern district, according to
Mr.. McElroy.

Washington. April 2o.-A problem
Is complex but here. are It's elements: /:
1.-Taxes. and how TO keep them
producing enough to run the govern.
ment. and at the same time keep the
party's promises TO reduce taxation.
2.-Tarifi. how TO make II produce
revenue and at the same time satisfy
the demands OF business and agricul.
ture for protection against foreign
competition.
3.-The soldier bonus: how TO pay
II without running the party with the
voters. or how to avoid paying IL
without running the party with the
es-service men.
The party put into effect new
tax law. with the strong intimatlon
that within a year taxes would again
be reduced. Now Secretary Mellon
warns OF a s4S4, 100000 deficit next
year and income tax payments have
fallen off alarmingly.
Consideration OF the tax problem
always brings up the bonus question
for taxes, many republicans hold,
must be levied for at least part of
the bonus payment. The hope is
strong among senatorial bonus advo.
Gates that the foreign debt funding
commission will complete negotia-
tIons by June, through which $4,000
900 worth of British bonds will be
received in payment of Great Bri-
tain's war debt. Upon these. money
could quickly be realized to pay the
bonus. But President Harding will
not permit congress to count on
those British bonds until the bonds
are actually in hand.

Genoa, April 20.-The German del
egation today declared fatty It would
not annul or withdraw the CONNER
cial treaty signed with Russia ai
Rapallo On Easter Sunday.
Russia and Germany presented a
united front to the allies today.
The German answer to the allied
and little entente" note Of censure
and the Russian reply to the propo'
sails of the political commission were
understood to take much the same
line although that from the Russian
delegation contained lengthy dis
cussion of the Russian problem.
To Consider Treaty
Presentation and consideration OF
these replies from the two "outcast'
nations, whose secretly signed treaty
threatened to disrupt the conference,
was the next step Of Genoa.
Progress and the very exlstance
of the parley depend upon the re-
plies.
i Ht Oulttu lCoo Voo
with a forecast Of both replies:
The Russian note, it was under
stood, contained lengthy outline
of the entire Russian problem from
the soviet point of view. 1t went
with considerable detail into the sub
ject of the resolutions of the su-
preme council meeting at Cannes,
upon which the experts proposals
were based.
De Jure recognition of Russia was
one of the considerations" mention
ed in the Russian reply, as well as
the question of compensation from
the allies for damages done by kol-
chak, Denikin and other white COM
manders.
Experts Are contradcted.
The reply was said to contradict
the plans of the experts in many
instances and to present fresh diff
culties to amicable settlement.
The German reply to the note sent
by Lloyd George, which was signed
by nine nations, stated that Germa'
ny no longer could be represented on
the political commission considering
the Russian question, was understood
to first deny that the negotiations
leading up to the RussoGerman. pact
signed at Rapallo had been secret;
second, it intimated that the allies
were themselves secretly negotlat'
ing with Russia; third, to state that
the nine nations signing the note OF
censure had no right to rule Germa'
nv out of the section Of the confer
ence at which "a nations should have
equal voice; fourth, to demand that
the subject be referred to a plenary
session. !.
While these replies are integral
Wirth, Rathenau, Tchitcherin anc
Rakowsky conferred all day yester
day upon them. Rathenau called up
on Lloyd George and after hearing
what the British premier had to say
tore up reply he had prepared, ano
work on new one was started.
