Explains Adjournment.
Asked the cause for the adjourn
ment of the operators conference
until today, President Ogle, of the
Coal Association, said:
The situation has changed"
Two things, he explained, have
occurred, "of which We were not
fully apprised until We came back
to Washington. First, Is the min
ers' statement and their refusal to
accept the Presidents proposals.
Second. is the Presidents supple
mentary statement.
We had supposed we knew the
exact nature of his proposals, but
In face of his supplementary state
ment a sufficiently large number Of
mine operators here to influence the
meeting, wonder whether, after all,
W have a clear conception of HIS
proposals. Naturally, we want to
be sure. Consequently, this meet
ing was adjourned in order to give
the members from various districts
a. chance for district conferences"
Coal Stacks Very Low,
With nonunion bitumInous coal
production now at its lowest ebb
since the strike began-last weeks
output being only about four and
a quarter million tons-reserve
stocks on hand are but $4,000, 900
tons. enough to last only two weeks
more.
Anthracite reserve stocks are
down to 100000 tons, which, at the
present rate of consumption, will
be utterly exhausted by August /.
Were normal production Of coal
to be resumed Immediately, II would
be February or March before the
supplies would catch up with the
demands. This means a serious
shortage at best and assurance OF
increasing this winter as the idle
ness of the mines is prolonged.
These facts spell coal rationing
for the fall and winter-unless
something Is done. Fuelless days
lightless nights and suffering for
a great number Of people have been
predicted.

Shortage of Food.

RIGA, July l7.-For the first timt
in more than two and a half years
the warehouses OF the American
Red Cross In Riga are empty. The
last case OF goods was trundled out
OF the warehouse. placed on a truck,
and carted away to the warehouse
of the Latvian Red Cross which at
present Is hailing as its patron saint
Col. Edward Ryan, American Red
Cross commissioner for the Baltic
states. For Col. Ryan. in liquidat-
ing the activities OF the Red Cross
in the Baltic states, has turned over
the remaining supplies, valued at
rs, 5000. 900 Latvia rubles. or $500, 900,
to the Baltic Red Cross organiza-
tions to continue the work that the
Americans have begun in this sec
tion OF the world.
Americans Prevented Famine.
A war was raging in the Baltic in
1919 when the ARC" first got on
the Job and thousands of orphans,
tens Of thousands OF families and
some hundreds OF thousands of peo-
pie in Latvia, Lithuania and Estho-
mia were in need of food and cloth
ing and other first necessities Of
life. The Americans prevented a
famine and later prevented epidem-
les, and then still later aided and
cared for many thousands OF refu-
gees which poured out from Bolshe-
vik Russia.
At one time the personnel of the
Red Cross was more than $50 men.
Today Col. Ryan and ten worke 9
are completing their work OF lay
ing a foundation of a public health
work which has already saved
thousands Of lives and which will
save tens of thousands of the Baltic
races in the years to come.
spent Millions for Relief.
Since the beginning of the year
the ARC" has been concentrating
all of its work in improving child
welfare work in the Baltic states.
Scores of clinics, sanitariums and
hospitals have been organized and
equipped with American supplies.
II is estimated that more than so
per cent of the children in the
Baltic states have been benefited by
this work which the Latvian and
Lithuanian governments have prom
ised to continue and develop.
In its two and a half years OF
service in the Baltic states 1t Is es-
timated that the Red Cross has ad-
ministered between s5,ooo.o00 and
s1O, 900. 900 worth of food, medicines
and clothing and other supplies
which have been given to the desti-
tute in these countries.
This sounds like a staggering
total to Americans who have heard
but little regarding the Baltic
states, but Col. Ryan points out
that a large portion of both Latvia
and Lithuania suffered and expert
enced as much II not more war
fare than did Belgium, and that all
of the Baltic states were for some
months governed by Bolshevik gov
ernments until the population organ
