UNITED Press.HIf your coal bin is

fort you to know that in 1906. King
Edward I OF England. issued a
proclamation making the use of coal
as fuel in London a capital offense.
One case is on record where an
accused was tried, found guilty OF
burning coal. condemned and
promptly executed.
Professor V. s. Babasinian. pro-
lessor of organic chemistry at Le-
high university. who is just com
pleting extensive research work on
coal tar derivatives recounts several
amusing incidents.
The invisible. gaseous products of
the combustion OF coal were early
pronounced detrimental to health

powders made from lead compounds
were quite likely to turn black in
the sulphurous atmosphere of gas
from burning coal.
The nature OF the smoke and
odor from burning coal remained a
mystery until after the middle of
the seventeenth century. when an
alchemist devised an igenious
process OF heating coal in the alb
senoe OF air. Tho liquid obtained
was known as "oil OF coal" and was
sold as a most potent remedy for
many ailments.
Then followed the isolation of
large quantities OF the highly in.

convention of the Federation OF
Labor. because. in view of the fact
that labor's interests are SO wide
spread. these meetings have the
whole world as a field OF discussion.
tho following forecast has been OBJ
tanned from Federation officials as
a fair forecast of the problems to
be dealt with at Portland.
The Steel Industry.
Labor's recently announced In
tention to make a new and moro
vigorous effort to organize the great
army OF steel workers in the United

principal subjects to be discussed at
the convention.

ly will express the American FEEDER.
alton Of Labor's attitude on the
steps which Judge Ebert II. Gary.
chairman OF the United States Steel
| Corporation. has announced already
| to put the steel industry on an
eight.hour day basis
These steps we're taken in accord
ance with the promise Of the heads
of the steel industry to the late
President Harding to put the steel
mills on an eight-hour day basis as
soon as possible and practicable
At that time. however. this prom.
Use OF the steel corporation was de-
scribed as bluff by Samuel
Gompers. veteran president Of the
American Federation of Labor.
Europe undoubtedly will be a pr4n.
cipal problem before the labor con
vention. The Federation's attitude

cial and economic debacle in Ger

InJunctions and Strikes.
The question of the permanent in
junction against strikes. the "thorr
in labor's side,'' will have a proml
nent part in the discussions of the
labor chiefs at Portland.
National politics also + expected
to have n ranking place IN this
calendar OF the convention. Their
probably will be a survey OF tn
national and state congressiona
situations from the standpoint o
labor's interests- There may b
some discussion also OF differen
presidential candidates.

At n time. from the American
embassy. the city seemed TO be en-
circled by flames. This was vir-
tunlly the case. although many of
the fires We're extinguished with lit
tie difficulty.
While the district to the north,
which includes the Chinese embassy.
seemed TO be in flames. so confident
was the Chinese Ambassador that
his building would escape that he in
vited many of the fleeing people to
take refuge there. However, to-
ward midnight. there came a change
in the wind and the flames swept
the embassy and official residences
so rapidly that there was not time to
save even the most important rec
ords,
Further in the northeast part OF
the city, in the Kanda district. which
is the student quarters OF Toxic. tho
fire spread with great rapidity. And
directly east. where seven miles OF
shops form the Ueno and Shin
bashi districts. the flames seeemd
to be n great roaring furnace. The
shimbashi railway station. which is
tho starting points of the Tokaido
railway. was one OF the first to be
destroyed. 1t was OF great historic
interest, having been constructed
nearly fifty years ago.
In this district the fire burned
fiercely along a strip a mile wide.
In the district to the south, Shiba
also took fire and the Red Cross
hospital was one of the first TO be
attacked by the flames. Other
buildings IN the vicinity were ablaze
within n short time.
The first estimates of the disaster
were that 10000 at least had lost
their lives and innumerable thous.
ands injured. It was believed that
moro than 1000, 900 were homeless.
that Yokohama had been completely
destroyed and three fourths of Toxic
