psPs lARK, July r. The

Babson. Te statistician discusses
both bitum 0Ils and anthracite
{ fields in a report issued today.
The coal industry has been up
set SO long, says Mr.. Babson,
that IT inctly encouraging

Tbe late t started last
winter wifi ie3at of a strike
for this saa 10 prepare for
such IN emergency the operators
rushed to builG m a reserve supply
and the 1922 production of btu
minous totalling 422,000,00o tons
was topped with volume of 545.-
100000 tons in 1928. January of
HIS year followed suit with 100000
600 tens, and February totalled
d5,000,00o then 1t became apparent
that business was slowing mp; the
threatened strike was called off and
q three year agreement with the
miners was signed. Demand declin-
cd and the operators found them
selves with a tremendous stock on
their hands, in fact, April first
showed our reserve supplies at co.
100000 tons, the largest in recent
years. Prices dropped to $210 at
the mine and operations were cur
taileti--during Aprik May and
juno production ran about 6 per
sent of the average earlier in the
year.
Some Will Shut Down
1st6cks are still relatively heavy
but prices are down to $2.01 at the
ming apd demand is overtaking the
supFlv. Under these circumstances
IT Is probable that some of the
high cost properties will have to
elosr, but everyone will be better
pff with fewer producers working
u greater part of the time. Prices
may not 90 much Below present
quotations and certain keen buy
rrs look toward slightly higher
levels.
sEsIfere is nothing in the present
Fitilaiion (the Babsonchart shows
general business activity at Is per
gent below normal) to promise any
. shortage from this sourre. for the
remainder of this year, at least.
Threatened labor difficulties have a
similar effect on the market, but
the three year agreement now in
force preeludes the probability of
shut downs on this score. The third
factor is transportation. When
roal cannot be moved from the
mines it might as well not exist as
fas as the market is concerned.
Anthracite Little Affected
Hsshe anthracite industry has not.
suffered so great a slump as the BIZ
luminous because no strike was
threatened and stocks were not
built to such a great extent. Pro
auction in 1928 of 95,000,000 tons
has been followed by production
around 900 tons month this
year. /. nrices for the year are

few SHIFTS LIKELY
AMONG POLICEMEN
Maj. Sullivan Well Satisfied With
Personnel as July l Nears.
Some Retire Later,

Few retirements and promotions
will affect the police department this
July i, In comparison with other
years, 1t was learned today Approx
fmately twenty men who have spent
long periods in the police depart
ment will be retired during the next
two months, but none of these rep
resents higher paid officials. Some
probably will be retired against their
protests.
AS far as the executive personnel of
the department is concerned, it is
known that Maj. Sullivan is well
satisfied with his corps of captains
and lieutenants Some have been
many years in service, but their
work is SO satisfactory he sees no
necessity of parting with them be-
cause of age.
Under the appropriation bill, twenty
additional men are to be appointed
and five to be mounted on horses.
The increase will bring the total
membership Of, the force to 1,051,
excluding civilian employees.
Inspector w. S. Shelby's plan to
ployes will be put into effect July /,
and the plan is to have a complete e
record OF every policeman, including
his birth, in addition to his. police
service.
1t is regarded probable that early
in the new fiscal year the eleventh
and twelfth precincts will be supple
mented by a subprecinct to take care
of territory near Benning and Seat
Pleasant.

FIRST PROGRAM
 FOR NEW ORGAN
West End Methodists Proud Of Fine Structure And Large
 Membership Gain

Members of the West End Methodist church will hear the new pipe organ, installed during the past week in the newly erected church at the corner of Cotton avenue and Elyton street, for the first time at the II o'clock services Sunday morning. In honor of this oc.. casion G. T. Downes. director, and Miss Leona Lewis, organist, have pre- pared special program which will be rendered at both the morning and eve ming service. :,
 The new church is a modern brick structure, with roomy ground floor, to be used by the Brotherhood class, the primary department and the be- ginnere department during the Sun day school hour, and by the congrega- tioh during church services. At the rear of this large auditorium, which is sur rounded on three sides by a gallery, are the Sunday school rooms. It was built with the idea of serving the needs of the religious education work and meeting the demands of the day.
 The church was built at a total cost of nearly $100,000, the last $5.0O0 of which is expected to be raised Sunday This work has been placed in the hands of a committee with J. J. Lee, chair man; T. 0. Robinson, secretary; ! E. Heffernan, treasurer, and H. H Gobin, w. K. Clements. E. w. Ellis, N. T. Overall and W. K. Williams, mem bers. The church has membership of nearly 900.

| LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT PRAYER SERVICE
Prominent Speakers Feature Worship At First Methodist


 Prayer services at the First Method. ist church last Wednesday evening were in charge of the mems division, which, it is said, carried out program of un- usuah excellence. This department has large number enrolled, and under. the president. W. o. Broyles, Is reported doing fine work.
 Special attention has been called to these midweek services, because such a large number of young people are now in attendance regularly, including the young women from the Young Woman . Christian association.
 Another feature of the Wednesday evening service is that there is nearly always some prominent speaker.
 Music, under the direction of the church director, adds to the service, and is always enjoyed, according to those who attend. Special numbers are selected. in which the congregation may take part, and this, together with the selected numbers by the choir, make the musical program one of beauty throughout. The public is cordially in- yited to these midweek services.
