NEW. YORK, August 11.--Dealer !,
producers and miners of coal are lie
people who are, worrying at present
about the coal situation next winter.
The public, according to the baro-
meter of sales. is pretty we'll con-
vinced not only that there will be
en- ample supply, but that competi-
ton will be extremely keen.
1t is admitted that the number of
bituminous mines now developed and
the number of miners engaged in the
industry are far more numerous thar
the rate of consumption warrants.
As a consequence, many mines are
closed entirely CIR working only part
time, and many miners are idle.
New Fields to Be Opened.
This situation will be further COM
plicated, SO far as the Eastern portion
of the country is concerned, by the
opening to exploitation of tremendous
new fields along the Monongahela
River above Morgantown, w. Va.
This is expected November /, when the
new government lock and dam above
Point Marion, Pa, on the MononSa-
hela is opened. The lock will eX-
tend navigation to point above Nor
gantown.
This will. permit shipment of thou
sands of tons of coal a day from the
Pittsburgh, Redstone, Sewickley and
Waynesburg veins at cheap rates.
On account of the steep hills
through which the Monongahela runs,
1t has been impractical to extend rail-
road branch lines into much of this
territory. With river transportation
available, however, tipples can be
built which will run the coal right

AGRICULTURE OFFICIALS
PUSH STANDARDS FIGHT

Department OF Agriculture officials

tion with the recent international
conference on universal standards
held at London. The American ex-
porters, it is expected, will indorse
the action OF the Governments rep
resentatives at the London confer
ence, where the principal difficulty
was the objection OF the Liverpool
Cotton Association to certain details
Of the standards agreed upon a year
ago at Washington. The Liverpool
association has given notice of its
withdrawal from the agreement after
July 81 next year.
The attitude Of the American ofn-
cials-Dr. H. c. Taylor. chief of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics:
Lloyd 8. Tenny ard Chester Morrill,
with regard to the Liverpool Asso-
ciation's objections was upheld by all
the foreign stgners Of the agreement.
The American officials made every
concession possible to meet the Liv-
erpool interests. Although the Liver
pool association has formally entered
its withdrawal from the international
agreement, negotiations by cable are
continuing between it and the De-
partment OF Agriculture.

into the river barges at q minimum
of expense.
Cheaper Coal Predicted.
New shafts are being sunk in the
mines in this area, from which the
railroads are now carrying 5000 tons
a day. With the locks completed coal
will flow into the Pittsburgh district
at a, cheaper rate than TIE railroads
can carry it. The present rail rate
from Point Marion to Pittsburgh is
s1.13 a ton, while the river rate is ap-
proXimately As cents. The Jones &
Laughlin steel interests are develop
ing a 14,000-acre coal tract near
Dunkard in consequence.
Recognizing that competition from
the bituminous grades will be keen,
the anthracite operators have begun
an intensive campaign to educate the
public as to how. to use the cheaper
grades of anthracite and get best
heating results from hard coal. An
thracite economy service stations have
been opened in Philadelphia and will
be followed by others in Washington,
New York and Boston. At these sta
tions free information on any heating
problem will be available from ex-
pertS
These permanent stations will be
supplemented by travelling exhibits
which will be on the road from Sep
tember l. 1924, to June 6, 1925, and
which will cover the more important
cities of New England, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware.
Price Advances Absorbed.
The anthracite operators have ad-
vanced the prices of coal at the
mines, but competition among retail
distributors is already so keen that
dealers in most cases have absorbed
this increase themselves and have not
passed it on to the consuming public.
About SEE, 100000 has been saved to
the government through recent de-
cision of the Federal Court in Phila-
delphia. Judge Dickinson, who hand
ed down the decision held that the
Government, which confscated coal
during the war to run the railroads,
could pay the mine owners at the
rates fixed by the fuel administrati tion
and not at the export rates current
at the time the coal was seized. The
export rates in most cases were far
higher and this cut large sums off the
wars fuel bill.
Soft Coal Output Heavy.

been running at the rate of about
100000 tons week, but it is esti-
mated that reserves now aggregated
between go 00o OO0 and so 600 600 toms
