TRUCK DRIVER ARRESTED
 AFTER "HOGGING THE ROAD''
West Hartford Man Faces Additional Charges of Eyading Responsibility,
 Improper Lights and Recklessness.

Charged with four violations of the
 motor vehicle law, reckless driving, driving at night with improper lights with failure to give the right of way ft End witii svading responsibility, EI
 saph ,F.ago, a West Hartford truck
 driver, was arrested by State Police
 man Arthur N Rutherford in Elm
 wood last night and ordered to ap-
 pear before the West Hartford police court next Wednesday.
 According to several witnesses, Ragos alleged action were not only aggravating. but also dangerous. It Is reported that. at the junction of Hart ford avenue and Stanley street, he drove his truck into the middle of the road and from there to Corbin's Corner refused to move to one side to give any car in the rear an oppor- tunity to pass. By the time Corbin's Corner was reached there was a string of seven cars, each footing a medley of honks for the right of way. At this point, Carl Barshay Hart ford salesman, driving Ford sedan, is said to have sounded his horn and made an attempt to spurt past the truck. It is claimed that as Barshay {, ,ssayed to pass, Rago turned into the | middle of the road again, striking the f ,ront of the Ford and turning it over. Barshay was imprisoned in the over- turned car. but was not badly injured. \
 Traffic from the rear was entirely blocked, but the state policeman, who vas further back in the line, stopped tn in bound machine and had the lriver take him in pursuit of the ruck. which he had not stopped. The ,rrest was made in Elmwood Center. 2ago is said to have denied knowl- dge Of the accident or the fact that e was "hoggng" the road

Dusseldorf Bankers De- fiant--Refuse to Open Banking Houses Until
 Troops Are Withdrawn
Gen. Degoutte Refuses Marshal Foch Reported on His Way to Ruhr Val ley-Strike Talk Con. tinues.
dy Tho Associated Press,


 Further drastic steps were taken by the French today in their efforts 10 enforce reparation payments by thelr occupation Of the Ruhr valley. Fritz Thyssen, son of August Thys- sen, leader among the Ruhr coal magnates resisting the French coer- cive measures. was arrested with five other leading mine directors.
 The French have announced they would try Herr Thyssen and his as- sociates by courtmartial for refusing to obey the orders Of the occupational authorities.
 Refuse tO Open
 German bankers in the Ruhr con- tinued resistance to the French measures. The directors of the Dues- seldorf branch of the Reichsbank re- fused to reopen that institution while French soldiers were on the premises. Gen. Degoutte declined to withdraw the troops.
 While there has been no general walkout of the Ruhr miners. or rail- waymen. considerable unrest is re- ported among them and miners in some of the seized coal pits have quit work.
 The German railroad workers in the Elberfeld district, south of the oc- cupied zone of the Ruhr decided to refuse to transport coal away from the valley.
 Paris is Satisfied
 Paris indicates satisfaction with the progress made in carrying out the Ruhr occupation scheme. Confidence is expressed that the vast industrial machine in the Ruhr which still Ss functioning can be kept going despite tic Ger,nan resistance.
 A boycott movement against French and Belgian nationals is reported from Germany. It is expected the exam pie set by the Berlin hotel keepers in declaring boycott will be followed all over the country.

Wellesley Hills, Mass. Oct, ies--
There seems e be plenty Of zeal &C.
eoFdlne 10 : statement issued today BY
Roger w 6abson the statistieian.
Who has lust completed survey Of
the coal situation.
"A year age, this country was
emerging from the chaos OF the great

MF. Bahson The output for praeti-
eally months, April through August.
vas held en- A minimum level, AZ a

high during the fall and early winter
period,
The average price OF soft coal In
October. ia.. vas $40 per ton al
the mine--a level sss per cent over
the pre-war average Today. we end
contrary conditions, A strike this
sssr was avoided and production held
on practically a record basis During
the irst $50 working days OF this
year the output has exceeded ns,
$4,000 tons. against ?7i,nis.ooo tons
during IN. same period last year, In
fact. we have produced more coal TO
date than was brought 10 the surface
during the entire IL months of 1922,
the exact fgure for last year being
tn7, non tons. Incidentally. the
output this year has been exceeded
only once In the history OF this coun-
try; that was In 1918. when bIe.3ss.-
600 tons were produced. II is not sur
prising in view OF current figures that
commercial stocks Of bitunlinous coal
have jumped. Statistics show that on
September /. stocks we're estimated at
IS, GOO, 900 tons, or the highest volume |
since April. 1922. Present stocks rep
resent an increase OF IS per cent over |
the low last March and 400 per cent
over a year ago.
The effect of excessive soft coal
production, large and increasing |
stocks. diminishing, industrial demand
and relatively favorable railroad con-
ditions has been pulling the price
level down month after month. With
little interruption. pAces have con-
tinued downward since August 1922.
Today, the price at the mines Is ap-
proximately $40 per ton. or 100 per
cent over pre-war levels, compared
with 2ee per cent a year ago. Econom-
cally. there cannot be further
price decline. In fact, conditions
point toward firm price level over
the fall and winter months. We are
low entering the period Of maximum
and the customary sea-
,onal strain on our railroads. Stock
protection over the fall and early win
er period should not be postponed.
$50 far as the securities of coal
companies are concerned, there is no
occasion for anyone to become op-
imistic. To be sure. In the list Of
tocks and bonds of companies repre-
entative Of the soft coal industry,
here is wide variety. The stocks OF
he older and better known companies
re, by no means, low in price. In view
f the general trend in the speculative
aarkets, there Is no incentive for
purchasing. For the long pull, stock
