Government Does Not Intend to Take Action to Prevent Strike,
 Says No Danger of Fuel Shortage
Wall Street Journal Editor Tells President He Thinks Shutdown in Anthracite District for Short Time Would Be Beneficial

Swampscott, Aug. 25 P-Further indications that the federal govern mcnt will make no move to prevent suspension of anthracite operations next Tuesday were given today at the summer White House. President Coolidge has been assured that there will be sufficient fuel to meet all needs of the public even if the mines should close down, and it was indi- coted that the government would conlne its activity to assisting in the provision of an adequate supply.
 The president is receiving no new official information regarding the anthracite situation, although he is keeping tabs on developments through the press. He followed with particular interest the recent con- terence of New England governors and is encouraged at the statement made by John Hays Hammond. former chairman of the coal com mission, that there is no danger of q tuel shortage.
 Conference Not Likely.
 Ever since it became apparent that anthracite operators and miners would be una ble to agree on a new wage scale, indications have been given that the administration would take no hand in the controversy. If suspension should develop it is prob able that Mir. Coolidge will keep in touch with the situation through Secretaries Hoover and Davis and other officials In close contact with the industry. but is not likely 10 call representative of either the opera tors or miners here for conference Suspension a Good Thing.
 c. w. Barron, publisher of the l Wall Street Journal, told the presi. dent today it was the opinion of Wal street that a suspension of operations l in the anthracite field for a shor time would be a good thing. There l, a surplus Of coal, Mir. Barron de { Clared.

LINE
FIRST TO LAND
FROM LEVIATHAN
Cable Connected Before Liner DocICa
In New York-But Not In
England.

When the gigantic United States
liner Leviathan docks at New York
you can sit down at the telephone I'm
your stateroom and call up any one
of 5000 900 telephones scattered over
the North American Continent When
she docks IN England, at the other end
of her voyage, you can't even tale
phone ashore for cab to meet you
at the pier.
This was cited recently by an Eng.
lish newspaper as an example OF
Britain's relative backwardness in the
matter Of telephone facilities "AH
the transatlantic liners are fitted
with telephone systems" says this
journel, the Dorset Daily Echo, Of
Weymouth, England. "The Leviathaa.
for instance, has telephone in every
statsroom, enabling passengers to con-
verse with anyone in any part Of the
skip. And when these liners reach
New York the FIRST cable thrown
ashore. before the ship has locked.
contains a lead which Is fitted into a
socket on the quay, and the ship ia al
once in telephone communication with
The whole Of America! Before the
ship stops passengers can speak from
their staterooms to their friends
ashore, can telephone their Offices or
ring up hotels and reserve accommo-
dation. The same facilities are offered
at such comparatively unimportant
pla ces as Bueuos Aires and Monte
video. Yet at Southampton, Liverpool
or other British ports-araong the
most important in the world-these IA
cilities cannot be obtained"
The Daily Echo adds, however, that
their installation would be a very
simple matter" and concludes with
the hopeful statement that efforts ara
now being made in England "to edu-
cate everybody to clearer realization
of what the telephone means. it's in
-fluence on the national life, and ths
ultimate extent to which it can be
utilized"

cent. in popula ton, the telephone in
the state grew to the extent OF 2 sos
per cent. In the same period Indiaal'S
gain in telephones amounted to 2.5od
per cent and Nebraska's to S2S per
cent. Other mid-western and western
states showed similar gains, which
have continued until today there Is
scarcely a hamlet anywhere In the on.
tire country without telephone connec.
ton with the main arteries, the trunk
lines OF communication.
Another interesting comparison be-
tween population and the number of
telephones in the United States is
shown by the fact that in 1880 there
was one telephone to every 1864 in
habitants; in 1899, one to every ESQ
persons: in 1900, one telephone to
Fl persons; in 1910, ore to every Il
persons: in 1915. one to every 10 per.
sons. and today, one to every per.
sons
Even at the present time telephones
are growing much faster in the United
States than Is the population. The
population Of the country Is now in.
creasing at the rate OF one and one
quarter per cent, year. while tele-
phones are growing at the rate Of
about 6 per cent. a year.

ON WEATHER AID
IN HARVESTING
Estimated Saving OF s2s, 900 I'm One
County Alone From Weather
Bureau Data.

In one county alone In New York
State. farmers made an estimated saw
Ing of $4,000 on their hay crop In
1924 az result Of a special harvest
weather forecast service maintained
by the Weather Bureau of the Unitad
State Department of Agriculture. in CO
operation with the New York State
College of Agriculture and the New
York County Farm and Home Bureaus.
During the harvest operation a series
Of forecasts were sent out daily sy
telegraph and by telephone.
In this way the farmers were given
advance information about the wealth
or. These forecasts covered a LONGER
period than do the regular forecasts
published in the newspapers. an they
were given from one to four darn In
advance. They were made available
to farmers having telephones within
two hours after they left the hands OF
the forecaster. Thus the wise farmer
was able to be prompt In cutting his
eats, or in holding of from cutting his
clover in case rain was propheziad, or
he could hasten harvesting IL good
weather was expected.
The service Is available to farmers
having telephone connection During
July anu August the harvest weather
forecasts are dispatched to the county
agencies in some thirty-nve coual1es
Of New York State. In one county, Ay
the use OF party lines. practically every
farmer having telephone receives the
service. The practice began when, a
few years ago. Prot. @. y. Warren,
head of the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Farm Management Of
the New York State College of Asricul
ture, started calling the weather bu-
reau office daily by telephone to see
whether the weather conditions were
favorable for cutting hay.
AT the end of last season a vote was
taken by telephone which was unani-
NOUS for the continuation OF the sery-
ice and for it's extension in SO far an
possible.

prescribed limits In New York City
the shopping district crept uptown
from Fourteenth street and Twenty
third street until today most of the
section below Fifty-ninth street is de-
voted to business purposes. Manu-
featuring concerns were able to move
to localities where they could have
more breathing space and opportuni-

BY the early '90's the telephone was
taking it's place as a real utility.
Local service was being constantly
developed and country districts were
beginning to realize the advantages
the wires offered of keeping in closer
touch with the towns and cities. Long
Distance service was also about to
become something more than name.
New York and Boston had been con-
nected by telephone in 1884 and grad
ually the lines were being pushed
westward until in 1892 Chicago talked
to New York for the first time and the
early vision of Bell and his associates
Of Q service nationwide in character
seemed on the point of realization.
In the decade which then began, the
telephone made rapid progress. From

snoe until today the median points Of
both population and Of telephones are
only few miles apart. Considered at
drst as nothing more than a toy. the

exist only with difficulty.
Just to what extent the telephone
has contributed to the expansion Of
the nation might be hard to deter
mine, but certain it is that without its
aid and security, rural communities
would scarcely have developed as
rapidly and as intenslvely as they
have done. Nor could larger towns
and cities have attained their great
growth II business had been obliged
to continue to be localized in one
central section. The telephone came
