ARMY AND COAL MINES

John L. Lewis would have got the
surprise of his life if he could have
had dictaphone recording of the
conversation of Secretary of War
Stimson and Gen. B. B. Somerven
regarding the use of troops In taking
over the coal mines.
Lewis had expressed public ap-
prehension that the army had plan
to seize the coal mines In case Of
a strike. Undoubtedly subordinate
army officers did have such a plan
in mind.
But when Secretary Stimson sat
down with Secretary Ickes, plus
General SomerveH and other army
officers, the army expressed vigor-
GUS opinions to the contrary. Gem
eral Somerve1l, accused by some Of
wanting the army to take over all
civilian activities, made this re-
mark:
''The last thing we want is an is
sue Of the army against the people. I"
Secretary Stinson also expressed
relief that Secretary Ickes, known
as a staunch defender of civil lib
erty, had been selected by the Presi-
dent to handle the coal crisis. He
offered Ickes every cooperation but
expressed the hope that he would not
have to use troops.

Stock Leaders Keep
Fractional Advances
In Quiet Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Rubber
motor, rail and steel shares enjoyed
what buoyancy there was in the
stock market today, and even they
at times eased from their best levels.
Dealings in the cases of many of
the usualy prominent issues were
scant. For the full session volume
ran around 100000 shares.
Prices were mixed at the start,
improved slightly toward noon and
a majority of leaders held fractional
gains near the close, but the upward
tendency failed to attract much
backing.
There was little market reaction
to President Roosevelt's speech from
Ottawa. an aftermath of the Quebec
conferences, and war news generally
offered small guidance for commit
ments either way.
Ahead most OF the time were
Southern Pacific, Southern Railway
New York Central, Goodrich, Good
year, United States Rubber, Gen
eral Motors, Chrysler, Bethlehem
Youngstown, Du Pont, Sears Roe
buck, Montgomery Ward, Consoli-
dated Edison. General Electric, An
aconda and Kennecott.
Supported in the curb were Cities
Service, Sunray, Colonial Airlines,
Cuban Atlantic Sugar and Pioneer
Gold. Utah Power g. Light pre-
ferred slipped badly after directors
took no action on dividends.
Rail bonds drew support.

and war against imitation"
I'VE are winning the first three
wars, slowly perhaps but surely"
Mr.. Hemingway declares; but we
are not winning the fourth, the war
against imitation. To win that war
we must sell bonds to all the people,
not to the banks, not just to the
corporations and the rich. They are
not rich enough all of them together
to pay for this war. The Treasury
wants millions of subscribers to this
third war loan drive as well as bill

guard our country against the horror
OF imitation and strike terror into
the hearts Of our enemies by the re-
newed proof of our unity behind our
gallant warriors"
