Soft Coal Consumers

Winter Needs at Once

Consumers of bituminous coal
were urged today by Federal Fuel
Distributor Wadleigh to purchase
coal supplies at once in anticipation
of fall and winter requirements be-
cause the railroads will he taxed
with heavy freight movement
later in the season.
IF industrial consumers hold off
from purchasing coal during the
summer and enter the fall months
with insufficient stocks of coal it
will then be necessary for them to
secure their requirements just at
the period when railroad traffic is
at its peak" Wadleigh said. "They
are then likely to find themselves
in a difficult position and the coun-
try's rail transportation facilities
overburdened with consequent de-
lay in movement of traffic. short

at yards and terminals
Wadleigh pointed out that the
railroads are now moving each

history. The necessity of the
heaviest possible movement of coal

Stanley Baldwin today found the

It was becoming apparent that
the prime minister must soon
choose between the continuance
Of. his power in English affairs
and the continuance of the show
of cooperation with France.
English Impatient.
English opinion is manifesting
growing impatience with what it
considers Frances procrastication
on the Ruhr and reparations prob
lens. In all quarters the demand
for settlement Of the question In
growing.
Thus far, it was learned, France
and England have been able to
agree only that the points at issue
should be settled by an interna-
tional commission. The two coun.
tries have not been able to agree,
however, upon the basis upon which
the questions involved would be
submitted to such commission.

tween Count de Saint Au1aire.

Poincare's Speech Tres.
Again the French reply to the
British Ruhr questionable was oral.
although it was generally expected
Poincare had yielded to the many
pointed suggestions that a written
answer would be more diplomatic
and would speed negotiations.
Nor has the situation been helped.

premiers' speech last night in the

declared that there existed mo

could swing France from her en-

the only nation on earth that can
get France out of the Ruhr, and
she can do it by paying the repara.

France Unyielding.
In these declarations is seen Poin.
cares answer to the English and
papal suggestions that France with

is regarded as reaffirming Poincare's
unyielding attitude on passive resist
ance-the stumbling block in the An
glo-French negotiations.
The Italian and Belgian ambassa-
dors also called on Lord Curzon yes
terday. There was no written reply
from Belgium, although one had con-
fidently been expected. Belgium, it
is believed, outlined its position as
equivalent to that Of France, though
not so irreconcilably or wholehearted-
ly so.
The next step in the negotiations
