STRICT METHODS
To CONSERVE COAL
SUPPLY ARE URGED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-With
action on the fuel anti-pronteering
| bill delayed in the senate, new moves
were made in congress today to gov
ern distribution and save the con-
sumers from full effects Of the
threatened shortage.
Immediate issuance of regulations
similar to those during the warm
cluded lightless nights and fuelless
days-tO conserve the present
meager supply was provided in a
resolution introduced in the house
by Representative Brennan, Repub-
lican, of Michigan.
Appointment of a national fuel dis
tributor with official powers to reg
ulate the shipment of all coal en-
tering in interstate commerce dur
ing the emergency was urged in a
bill presented by Representative
Winslow. chairman of the house in
terstate commerce committee.
Fix Wage Scale
A wage scale acceptable to the
coal miners would be fixed by fed
eral commission and the operators
compelled to accept it, temporarily,
in bill introduced today by Rep
resentative Dickinson, Republican,
Iowa.
Mr.. Dickinsons bill provides for
appointment of commission of four
| members with powers to force re-
opening Of coal mines on any wage
basis that would give the mine own
ers a ten per cent profit on their in
VeStment
The commission also could direct
distribution OF coal in interstate
| commerce. Members would draw
$500 a year and would serve as
long as their services were needed,
up to six years.
Conserve Coal
Unless immediate steps are taken
to cut out use of coal for non essen
tials, Mr.. Brennan said, the nation
| will face hardships greater than
those of the winter of 1917.
"It is strange" Mr.. Brennan said,
''that while, for some weeks, great
inconvenience and financial loss, if
| no actual hardship has been expert
| enced throughout the country be-
cause of the fuel shortage, no at
! tempt, official or otherwise, has been
/ made to restrict the use of the small
stocks of fuel on hand.
| The streets of any Of our cities
may be seen any night brilliantly
lighted by electric signs and display
advertisement which, hourly, are
! burning up coal which may be sore
| ly needed next winter to prevent
people from freezing. Are we to
await until calamity is actually upon
| us before adopting means to avert
| it?"
| Mr.. Brennan received telegram
from Fuel Distributor Potter, of
Michigan, today, stating that the
fuel situation in that state is on the
verge of a calamity. After receiving
the message, Mr.. Brennan called
| other Michigan congressman into a
conference in an attempt to find a
way for getting coal int their
state, under the bill which was
! drafted with the aid Of Secretary
Hoover and other cabinet officials,
the president would appoint a fed
eral fuel distributor, whose orders
regarding priority shipment of fuel
to essential industries and utilities
would be backed up with severe
penalties for violation, running as
| high as two years imprisonment and
| $4,000 fine.
| The distributor would serve until
| the president, by proclamation
] would declare the fuel emergency at
an end.

GERMAN PROPOSAL
ON PREPARATIONS IS
REJECTED BY FRANCE

PARIS. By the Associated
Pressy.-Premier Poincare has re.
jected the eleventh hour guarantees
offered by the German government
and Independent measures by
France against Germany seemed as
sured after failure of the
Preparations mission to obtain in Der.
lin the basis of a compromise &C
ceptable to France.
In well-informed French circles
it is considered reasonably certain
that the Preparations commission will
grant a moratorium for the rest OF
theIyear, with the final German pro-
posals as an additional guarantee.
The German proposals, handed to
the PREPARATIONS mission just before
it left for Paris, provided for con
tract between the German govern
! ment and the biggest German indus
trials, including Hugo SHINES, for
delivery during the period of mora
forum Of products of the Ruhr
mines and wood from the state for
ests. German industry would guar
sntee faithful delivery and penalties
would be enforced against the in
dustrials in the vent the schedule
was not lived up to.
Details of the scheme were to be
submitted by Germany next week
but the French premier rejected the
plan this afternoon after a confer
ence with M. Doubois and M. Ma
clure. The premeir's opposition is
said to be due to the fact that he
believes the scheme made the in
dustrialists more important thar
the government, and since the bust
ness party in Germany is in a posi-
| ton to dictate to the government, re
fusa1 to carry out the contract
! would leave the German govern
ment powerless to act, and France
| would be as bad off as before.
British optimism, which con
| tinued up to even this afternoon
had given way tonight to gloom ovel
| the situation after M. Poincare re
| fused to accept the latest German
| proposals. The British think these
proposals fairly meet M. Poincare':
demand for the German mines ant
| forests by actually giving France
! the products of these natural re
sources without handing the distric
over to political control. Taking
! the distict by France, it is contend
| ed by the British, would only ado
chaos to the already critical situa
I ton.
Sir John Bradbury, just before thu
meeting of the Preparations commits
sion, told the Associated Press h
was convinced that =Germany wal
4 really trying TO meet the French
view Il am satisfied that the Ger
man government is making .seri
GUS effort to meet the views of thu
French government insofar as thu
Lactual situation in Germany will
| permit" he said. 81 am strongl!
of the opinion that the French gov
eminent ought to do it's best to NEE
! the German government half .wat7.
He further informed the commits
sion that the German financial stu
alton was desperate and that socia
order in lis entirety in Germany
was threatened. Other members o
the mission, including M. Mcclure
] reported that they were equally i'm
pressed with the seriousness of thu
| German crisis.
The French reported that they
were amazed to see great evidence:
of prosperity in Germany, and de
clared that large number of Ger
mans who had apparently discarded
their own currency were using dol
lars instead.
