COAL TRAFFIC HEAVY
Road Obliged To Place Temporal,
Embargo On 1ituminous

ASSOCIATED FTeSS D1SpaIch.l
ST. Paul, September 14.-The in
fux of bituminous coal to Lake Erie
points is SO great that the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, one of the
principal carrier of coal in the soft
coal regions, placed a temporary
embargo on all shipments, to con-
tinue until all docks at eastern
points are able to load the fuel,
the northwest, was advised today.
Y The coal is coming in such large
quantities that dock facilities cam
not cope with the situation and the
was made necessary to
clear the congestion, Mr.. White said.
Mr.. White again emphasized the
need of consumers of coal in the
northwest, including the, public util-
tiles companies, to begin to move
into this district. The lack of buy
ing by the Consumers Stock COM
pany is one of the reasons that coal
is not moving readily into the upper
lake docks, Mr.. White explained.

Atlantic City, N. j., September
14-The executive council of the
American Federation or Labor pre-
pared today, the fifth of it's annual
sessions, to outline legislation which
1t hopes to have introduced before
congress as part of its next years
program.
4 AS the program has been devel-
oped thus far, the labor chiefs expect
to concentrate their efforts in pro-
noting three amendments to the
constitution and other major legis-
lation. They will include an amend
ment to the constitution intended to
curb the injunction power vested in
ederal officials as demonstrated in
the resent Injunction against the
rail shop crafts. In this connection
a nation wide movement already is
under way according to Matthew
Vol, vice president of the fedora
lion, to pave the way for anti strike
iRjunction legislation.
An amendment fixing sixteen
years as the minimum age for child
iaborers and authorizing congress
TO raise the minimum age as condi-
tons warrant.
Repeal Sherman Law.
An amendment giving congress
power to repass and thus legalize
laws which may be enacted and then
|declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court.
Repeal of the Sherman anti trust
law, which, according to members of
I. al
Epriye the toilers of their natural
rights, instead of to prevent illegal
combinations in restraint of trade"
e Legislation to prohibit the en-
|actment of any law when would
deny the right of the workers of the
limited States to organize for the bet
{erment of their conditions; to deal
toflectively with employers, or to
eoliecIively withhold their atronage
and labor and induce others to do
So"
Oppose Kansas Labor Law
Also included in the national pro-
gram of the executive council, to be
worked out through the states, will
be a drive through the legislatures
to bring about the repeal of the
Kansas industrial law and the Col
arado industrial commission as well
as actively to combat effort to inaug
urate similar statutes in other
states, notably New York end Mas
sachusett.
Both of these industrial laws, now
operating, the labor chiefs character
lied as equally dangerous and OBJ
noxious" in a statement which par
ticularly denounced the Kansas
court as "the greatest fraud ever

London. September 1.-THE east
ern situation is causing consider
able concern here. This is reflected
in the editorial columns of the
morning newspapers, some of which
adc-t a distinctly alarmist tone.
"A grave crisis" confronts the
powers. says one, while others de-
clare the situation is driving to
the danger point" that "all ele-
nents are present for another fare
I'D of war" and that "the powers
must act at once, and in agreement;
If they TAIL to agree, nothing but a
miracle can avert disaster"
One sentiment which dominates
all is fear lest France, although
agreeing to maintenance Of the neu-
trality of Constantinople and the
straits OF Dardanelles, may inter-
pref the Legitimate aspirations,
of the Turks in such manner as
to prevent the cooperation OF Great
Britain. .
Suspicious Of France
Those papers which are habitually
suspicious of France comment
strongly on her tenderness for the
Turks and insist that the latter
cannot be allowed to recover Thrace
and Adrianople, which they believe
France is willing to give them.
Each day brings fresh reports oil
the intense feeling aroused in the
Mohammedan countries by the Tur-
kish victory in Anatolia. with indi
cations of determination to support
the Turkish claims with whatever
means lie at their disposal. Re
ports from British India especially
represent the moslems there are
greatly excited.
