COAL BILL SEEN
PROFIT BOON

The Guffey-Vinson bill, recently
approved by both houses of Con-
gress and soon to be passed in
final form, promises to boost earn
ings of the coal mining industry,
at least for the time being, accord
ing to a new analysis appearing
in Poor's Investment Advisory
Service. Those bituminouS pro-
ducerS who are now enjoying eX-
cellent sales increases will receive
the most benefits. The analysis
says:
For many years the industry
has been highly unstable owing
to excessive productive capacity,
to inability to regulate itself Suf-
ficiently, and to steadily increaS-
ing competition from substitute
fuels. Other influences curtail-
ing coal demands include the
improved efficiency of cOal-burn-
ing machinery in railroad loco
motive and electric public utility
plants, the development of coke
ovens to prevent the former
waste of important coal BY
products, the industrial use of
natural and manufactured gas,
the use of fuel oil in ships, gas
and electric power plants. Also
a thorn in the industry's side
has been its labor problem"
The NRA code established in
1884 brought about a vast improve
ment in the results of most COM
panies, the report adds. With
minimum prices in effect, it is
pointed out that low-cost pro,
ducers were able to increase their
earnings substantially, while Sec
ondary units bettered their former
positions. In effect, the Guffey-
Vinson act reestablishes the fea-
lures of the code which made for
larger profits.
Also regarded as favorable is the
fact that on April /, 1887, labor
and management made another
tWo-year agreement contract pro-
viding for a 50-cent daily wage in
crease, with the present seven
hour day, five-day week continu-
ing in effect. Naturally, higher
prices are necessary in both an
thracite and bituminous fields. An
immediate IS per cent increase in
bituminouS mine prices is contem-
plated, which should approximate
30 cents a ton. or more than suf-
ficient to offset the increase in
labor costs, the study said, adding:
Because of the difficulty of
legiSlating prosperity for an all
ing industry, it is questionable
that the new law will benefit
coal earnings permanently. How
ever, improvement is definitely
indicated for 1881"

UP IN QUARTER

An earnings report of the
American Telephone and Tele.

month period ending March 81,
shows a net of $2.32 a share
against $1.85 in the first quarter
of 1886.
In the first quarter the number
of telephones in the Bell System
increased about $4,000 compared
with an increase of 1877, 300 in the
corresponding period of 1886.
There are now approximately a.
100000 telephones in service.
The total number of toll and
long distance calls during the first
quarter of this year was about rs
per cent greater than in the cor
responding period last year.
AS a result of this growth, oper-
ating revenues continue to i'm

DAVIS AND BRITISH
| DRAFT STATEMENT
Declaration on Orient War
to Be Given ParIey
Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

0y IHe ASSOCIATED Press. ...
BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.-United State,
Ambassador at Large Norman H. Davis
and British delegates today debated
the draft Of q new statement on the
Chinese-Japanese conflict to be sub
mitted Monday to the apparently
moribund Brussels conference.
The absence Of the principal dele
gates from Great Britain, France and
Russia was regarded as a portent the
next session would end without de-
cisive action.
May Follow Davis Outline.
The drafted statement in final form
might follow the general outlines of
the speech urging direct negotiations
between the warning nations Mr. Davis
made at the opening session Of the
conference seeking peace In the Orient.
The draft was submitted to Belgian
Foreign Minister Paul Spaak prior to
discussions Mr.. Davis had with the
British delegates, Viscount Cranborne,
foreign undersecretary; Dominions

Alexander Cadogan.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's
absence was ascribed in British quar-
tiers to cold he contracted in Brussels
last week. Also missing were Foreign
Minister Yvon Delbos of France and
Soviet Ambassador " P. Potemkin.
Chinese Are Optimistic.
Chinese delegates remained optimis-
tic, however, despite the growing belief
in conference circles that the powers
would not give China the material
support she asked for her struggle
against Japan.
Neither was it believed that the
conference would impose economic
measures against Japan-measures
that Toxic warned the powers she
would consider hostile acts.
China's appeal to the 19 govern
ments represented at Brussels to with
hold war supplies and financial credits
from Japan was the main business
scheduled for consideration Monday
1t was believed that final adjourn
ment would be taken early next week.
after adoption of some new state
ment.
