ROGERS URGES
HARDCOAL
EMBARGO
Bay State Congressman Points
to Suffering During
Fuel Shortage.
80 =, g:
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

While the American people, par.
ticularly those of New England, are
up against a severe coal shortage,
which is causing unprecedented dis
comfort, American coal is being
| freely sold in Canada cheaper than
| it is being sold here, and heavy
shipments of anthracite to that
country are still being made, so
Congressman John Jacob Rogers,
Fifth Massachusetts district, today
said.
Rogers, who has just returned
from a visit to New England and
New York, where, he said, he ex-
/ amined the present anthracite stu
alton, also said he was informed by
| Charles A. Magrath, the highest
Canadian fuel authority, that the
control price in Canada is from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton, and con-
trasts these prices with the S18, $40,
$22, and even up to $50, per ton
our own people are paying.
Hearing on Embargo.
Last Wednesday, the Interstate
Commerce Commission had hear
ings in New York city to consider
the question of an embargo of ship
ments of American coal to foreign
countries.
Rogers attended those hearings.
Most of the evidence there came
from representatives of railroads,
officials of Pennsylvania, officers
Of the anthracite mines, and from
Magrath, Canadian fuel official"
Rogers said. "All these gentlemen
Joined in love feast, and urged
that no restriction be placed upon
the expectation of anthracite to
Canada. Their interests were iden-
tical and they displayed a beautiful
degree of harmony. All, to use the
words of Magrath, want to continue
to have Canada treated as the forty
ninth State of the Union. I cannot
believe that in time like this such
a program would or should COM
mend itself to the American peo-
pie"
Denies Reprisals Threat.
Commenting upon an alleged
threat that Canada would cut off
hydroelectric power now being fur
nished American industry at Mag
ara Falls, in retaliation If an Ameri-
can coal embargo is declared, Rog-
ers said: Mr.. Magrath testified
explicitly that whatever action was
taken by the United States, there
would be no reprisals on the part
of Canada. For Canada to cut off
our supply of hydroelectric power
at Niagara would be biting off her
nose to spite her face. She needs
the United States consumer quite
as much as the United States needs
the energy generated across the
border"
Rogers continued: Frankly,
| fear the effect upon American pub
| lie opinion If the present condition
continues. I fear increasing rest
Iessness and even revolt against the
American policy, or lack of policy.
| 1.-The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has power to declare the
embargo. / hope it will exercise
that power"

A young man Of fashion
dropped in to see me one day not
long ago with a letter Of intro
ductiOn from Q pal Of mine that

This bird was q fine looking

He had a face like q fedora

His troubles were these: It
seems like he got more than his

him for everything but work.
Anyway, his dad was coupon

do anything but learn the new

tive Committee.

A few days ago more than
thousand taxpayers, represent
ing every neighborhood in the
south port district, nominated by
petition William J. Shinn of Kent
for port commissioner. The elec-
ton will be held May Sth. In pre-
senting his name for the consider
tion of the voters there is only
one big, high light, but several
side lights on which to keep the
eye.
shinn is first, last and always
against buying the Skinner &
Eddy Dock site!
This is the big hight in this sam
Ipaign. There is no guess work,
no Side-stepping, no groping in
the dark, as to where he stands on
this matter, which must be the big
issue in this election. Shinn is
against buying any more port
property now to multiply more
Expense, and to add more proper
ty to the exempt list, thereby pill
ling more taxes on property in
King county which is already
staggering under the tax load.
A few side-lights in Mr.. Shinn's
campaign is the fact that he is a
man of mature judgment he is a
successful business man; no scan
dal was ever whispered in comec-
ton with his name; he is an up
right, hard-headed, courageous.

who have known Mr.. Shinn for
years are the ones who have
drafted him into this campaign
and turned to him in this import
ant crisis. They find in him a
fearless champion of the rights of
the little home owner. He will
defend the home owners little
home from being confiscated by
the greedy hands of the tax eaters.
A vote for Shinn is a vote to
call halt on wild money spend

to the port of Seattle; a vote to

Seattle. the Seaport of Success, on

VISITOR PASSES ON HERE.

William II. Wenham, father Of
the News-Record editor, who ar
rived Sunday, April s, from
Olympia, where he had been for a
month, passed away Sunday fore
noon after a three and a half
months illness of sarcoma of the
liver. The remains were shipped
to the old home at Pullman,
Wash, where they were accomp-
anied by his daughter, DR.. May
W. johnson of Olympia. The fu-
neral was held there on Tuesday
and mterment was made by the
side of his wife who preceded him
TO the great beyond nine and one
half years ago.
Mr.. Wenham was born at Cleve-
land, Ohio, 70 years ago. He was
reared in Allegan county, Mich.
After spending four years in Kan
sas, the family removed to La
Grande, Oregon, where residence
was maintained until 1906 a move
was made to Pumman, where he
since resided.
Mr.. Wenham never accumulated
a big estate, but he was rich in
friends wherever he resided.
This was attested by the large
number at the funeral and the
masses of floral offerings that
were made. He was the kind of
father any man or woman would
desire: clean, honest and straight
forward in his every day life. He
is survived by five children, w. l..
Charles R. and Mrs. NJ. S. lamar
of Pullman, DR.. Nay w. johnson
of Olympia, and Il. E. of Vashon
and six grandchildren.

taking and automobile trip to
SnoQualmie falls. They went on

though they had four punctures
during the trip, everyone reports
having had a very nice time.
Wednesday, April 4, was camp
us day at Burton. The students
were divided into four groups with
a teacher as supervisor Of each
group. Everybody worked until
noon and the result was all kinds
of work done, from cleaning out
the underbrush to cutting up fire
wood. Lunch was served by the
seniors, the proceeds of the sale of
which went to the class fund.
