Washington, July 1S.-President
Harding late today will send stimuli
taneous kilograms directing the op-
orators of all bituminous mines
shut down because of strike condi-
tions to resume operation at once,
and requesting the governors of
those states in which the mines op-
crate to furnish such military pro-
lection as may be needed.
II state troops find it impossible
to cope with the situation, federal
troops, it is understood, may event
ually be employed.
Plans for such action by the pres
ident were understood to have re-
ceived the unanimous support of
the cabinet at today's meeting of
that body at which the industrial
i situation was discussed in all its
ramifications.
The advices to the mine op-
orators and the governors will
point out the imperative necessity
for early resumption of the mining
industry in the interest of the pub
lie, and will also briefly urge that
orderly procedure be observed in
the execution of the plan.

COAL PRODUCTION IN
BITUM|NOUS FIELDS
SHOWS BIC INCREASE
[RepubIIean a. p. leased Wirel


WASHINGTON. April 30.-Bitu-
minous coal output during the past
week reached the highest mark since
the beginning of the miners strike,
the Geological Survey announced to-
day. Production Of anthracite, how
ever remained at practically zero.
Telegraphic reports as TO produc-
ton covered loadings through last
Thursday and indicated, it was said
that If there was no unexpected
slump, the total soft coal output for
the week would approximate Also, 900
tons. a total of 12,131 cars was
loaded last Monday-the greatest
number since the serfke began.
The increase during the week, the
surveys statement declared, came
largely from the non-union districts
of the middle and southern Appa-
lachians. 1t was not due, the state
nlent added. to the return to work of
striking miners, either union or non-
union, but rather to increased de-
mand resulting in greater activity IN
those districts which have remained
at work.
Reports or no market continue
to be received, the report stated, es-
pecially from the south and west, and
production has not yet reached the
limit set by the capacity of the mines
not affected by the strike.
Revised figures show a production
during the week ended Saturday,
April %, according to the survey, of
1860, 900 tons of soft coal and six
thousand tons of anthracite. The
same week of the 1919 Strike saw
5,344 .000 tons of bituminous and D.
055,000 tons of anthracite produced
Announcing that no change in the
anthracite situation is indicated in
reports received, the survey placed
total production for the week at 5000
tons.
The present weekly rate of coke
production, reports to the Geological
Survey, show is 49 per cent of that
during the week before the strike.
In an analysis of the coal situation.
made public today, the United states
chamber Of commerce declared that
at the present rate of production and
consumption there was no danger of
a coal shortage for at least six. weeks

In certain parts of the West, Mr.

recommended to President Harding
today by Eugene Meyer, Jr., manag-

Pending enactment OF the proposed

ration might make loans be extended
to January /, 1928.

AS remedial measures he recon-

Enactment of legislation specifi-

of livestock loan companies, and the
establishment of system for the
more adequate supervision and in
spection of the livestock which fur
nishes security for the paper.
Frank recognition of the need for
the orderly marketing of agricultural
products in a more gradual way over
a longer period, ana the adjustment

Commoner Declares United
States Should Advise
With Europe On Rehab-

TRepubIIcan a. p. Leased wIrel

LINCOLN, Neb., April S0-In a
letter to President Harding, which
he made public here tonight, William
Jennings Bryan, urged that 3, repre-
sentative of the United States be sent
to the Genoa conference, not neces-
sarily to bind this country to the con-
clusions of that conference, but to
advise with the nations of Europe
in an effort to bring about the re-
Mobilization of the world.
Mr.. Bryan wrote the president, it
was national and international
calamity that the United States did
not enter the negotiations, the re-
sponsibility for which. he says. rests
about equally with the Republicans
and Democrats"
"But the mistakes Of the past, he
adds Should not prevent wiser ac-
ton in the present and future
He quotes from the speech of
Lloyd George at Genoa in which the
British prime minister depIored the
absence of the United States at the
conference and adds ''he (Lloyd
George) is dealing with very trying
situation and he needs the help of
the United States. 1t would not hurt
us to have a representative there If
he went empowered to advise only
and with the understanding that our
nation is not bound by any conclu-
sions reached, except as our people
acting through congress ard the
president or at q referendum may ex-
pressly approve.
Failure OF the United States to
enter the leag1ie OF nations was ma
tional and International calamity the
responsibility for wich was divided
between the refusal of Republicans
to ratify the covenant without reser-
vations and the refusal Of the Demo-
Gratis to ratify the treaty with res
ervations. The covenant was 50
much more important than the reser-
vations that it was unspeakable folly
for either side to subordinate the
idea of international cooperation to
the minor details about which they
differed.
But a mistake IN the past should
not prevent wiser action in the pres
ent and future. 1t matters little
whether it is called a league Of ma
tons or an association of nations or
anything else. Our nation should use
its influence to secure world peace.
Mr.. President, your sense OF re-
sponsibility TO God must soon compel
You to propose an appeal to the
estranged nations to forget the past
and begin the work of friendly CO.
operation in the upbuilding of Eu-
rope. You made a splendid begin
ming in calling the arms conference.
but what viii its work avail il Eu-
rope is TO become again a slaughter
house?
You are man OF prayer. Mr..
President-you are the first president
to include the LORDS Prayer in a
public address: beg you TO ask for
guidance in this world crisis. we
i1noweth whether thou art not come

The Waiskas inhabited the region

until the last maintained the same
feeling of hostility. as befitted the
final survivor of his race. His friends
say his melancholy increased year by
year as he saw the forest dwindIe and
disappear and the face Of the land
change from a wilderness to a manu-
featuring and farming district
At four o'clock on the morning 81
his last day OF life Peter walked alone
far into the country untii he reached
