COACHES OFTEN
RUNNING LIGHT,
SAYS WILLIAMS
Chairman of Corporation
Commission Believes a
Lower Fare in New Mex
leo Would Help Business

Nopttthi correspondents tu lue bOuEHbsG
Santa Fe, June 27.-That the
railway trains are not being ope-
rated efficiently or economically:
that the coaches which should carry
from forty to eighty passengers
have been carrying from fourteen
to eighteen on the entire line of n
great road like the A., Y. & S. r.,
and from thirteen to sixteen or
seventeen passengers through New
Mexico, judging by the railroads
own statistics for 1920 and 1921;
and that the passenger fares should
be lowered and thus encourage peo-
pie to occupy the cushioned seats
of the trains, and incidentally add
to the revenues OF the railway cor
porations, were features of the
statement of New Mexicos case by
Corporation Commissioner Hugh Il.
Williams.
This statement was read by Mr.
Williams before Examiner-Attorney
keene, of the I. c.. c., who is here
for the last of the passenger rate
hearings affecting Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico. These states ask
to be put on the basis Of forty-fiVc
other states-3.6 cents mile. At
present their rates are As cents a
mile, for interstate travel
Mr.. Williams was complimented
by the other commissioners and by
several in the audience on the pre-
sentation Of his case.
Edwin F. Coard. rate expert OF
the New Mexico corporation, also
read an interesting statement, fea-
tured by comparison of the dem
sity OF population with various
states, and pointing out that Wyom-
irg has less population to the
square mile than New Mexico and
Arizona, vet Wyoming gets the 3.6
cent a mile passenger rate,

COAL SHORT Age
GROWING ACUTE:
MANY MEN idle
President Harding Tried to
Arrange Informal Confer
enCe Between Union Head
and Operators.
oBy The Associated rressJ

Washington, juno 27,-Assur-
ances multiplied today that the
attempts OF the administration to
bring about settlement of the
bituminous coal strike have nett h.
er been dropped nor abatcd
From the White House came
the. word that President Harding
felt difficult and delicate nego-
spollesmen Of the striking min
ers and the representatives of the
mine owners could be got togeth-
err for wage agreement, and re-
sumption Of work. Further, there
were intimations that government
intervention, now confined to per-
suasion and suggestion, might in
some way become pointed and
forcible should the public safety
and welfare demand early settle
ment and the present means prove
futile in bringing it about.
Meanwhile, John l.. Lewis, pres
ident of the United Mine Work.
ers of America, remained in
Washington, although there was
no definite intimation that his
prolonged stay after his Monday
meeting with the president was
at official suggestion.
There were intimations that
officials were considering plan
to bring a few representative OPP
orators together with Mr.. Lewis
and other responsible leaders of
the miners union for the pur-
pose of discussing informally pros
poets for holding conference
authorized to make a wage agree
ment.
In all the discussions it was
flatly declared that the govern
mont would not announce in ad-
vance adoption of aEv plan for
dealing with the strike, but that
solre action might be expected.
Latest estimates in the possess
sion of the government indicate
there are still approximately G00,-
900 miners on strike, about 81
600 of this number being nom
union men. on July l, it was
stated today by government offic-
ials, the surplus coal supply will
be at a danger point. Already
they said the anthracite surplus
supply is exhausted. and within
week it is probable the bitum-
lrous surply will be around 10,-
100000 tons which, in the opin-
ion of government exports, repre-
sents critical situation.

STATE ENTERING
INTO PERIOD Of
GREAT ACTIVITY
Edward Chambers, Vice
President of Santa Fe,
Enthusiastic About N. M.
Climate; Copper Demand.

New MeXico's climate appeals
with great force to home and
healthseekers. declared Edward
Champers, vice president of the
Santa Fe railway in charge of traf-
fic, who was in the city yesterday.
"The Santa Fe railway realizes the
great pulling force of such a eli
mate and will do all in its power to
help New Mexico develop this VAL
liable asset"
The state will make rapid prog
ress in both agricultural and indus
trial development, according to Mr.,
Chambers, who predicts rapid in
crease in the population Of the
state.
Reports from our represent
atives in various parts of the state
show that farmers, stockmen, mer-
chants, bankers, miners and manu-
facturers generally are recovering
from the hardships caused by the
war" Mr.. Chambers explained
"The tide has turned. Everywhere
men are hopeful of the future.
They have begun to plan improve
ments. Business actually is pick
ing up, and transactions again are
carrying profits.
Copper in Demand.
1.-THE reopening of the New Mex
leo and Arizona copper mines is a
good indication that the manufac-
turing business all over the coun-
try has taken turn for the better,
because the products of these mines
are used everywhere. The demand
for New Mexico coal is increasing.
Gallup coal is growing in popular
ity in California, and when the la
Dor trouble is settled, a great deal
of the output of the mines will go
to that state. The smelters at Je-
rome are calling for large quanti-
ties of Gallup coal"
Big Crop Expected.
Our reports indicate that 1922
will be big crop year for New
Mexico; that there will be a ready
market for all the states products,
and that prices will be more salts
factory than they have been for
two years. Building activities
throughout the state this year will
be far ahead of those OF 1921.
Practically every community has
something of building program.
THE Santa Fe is endeayoring to
bring to the attention of home
seekers and other investors the op-
portunities in New Mexico, and /
am sure that through our publicity
efforts a good many desirable FAM
lilies will come here to live"

 MT. Delaney who for years was prosecutor in the city court and an
 active Republican, will retire from politics it is said among leaders of the Republican party who are in the know. He will not seek the renom- nation as Senator from the 22nd Senatorial district it is said.
 The chief object in Kings return to the city and to leadership in the party. was to get reelection to the state central committee to oppose J. Henry Roraback. In his effort to control the com mmittee. King formed an alliance with Col. Isaac Ullnan of New Haven, undisputed leader in New Haven county, and Attorney Gen era1 Healy of Windsor Locks. The three boiled their strength against the upstate leader and now seek his dethronement. Reports of primaries received in Bridgeport indicate that Roraback is master of the situation throughout the state and controls some committeeman from Fairfield county.

 Prices Soaring
