Dominion Authorities
Confer With WPB Chiefs
On Paper Situation

NEW YORK, June 8.-Coincident
| with a meeting of the Canadian
newsprint administrator with off,
cials of the War Production Board
| here yesterday, paper industry
sources said Canadian neWsprint
manufacturers had been ordered by
Dominion authorities to reduce their
| shipments II per cent.
Canadian NeWsprint Administrator
Guy E. HoulC. former Administrator
R. L. Weldon and a representative
of the Dominion Wartime Prices and
Trade Board conferred with Harry
M. Bitner director of the printing
and publishing branch of WPB, and
others.
There was no announcement from
the conference, although partici-
pants indicated that one might be
made from Washington later in the
week.
AS result Of the order to Dominion
newsprint makers to reduce ship
ments II per cent. it was learned
that several consumers in the United
States had been advised that they
could be allocated only 88 per cent
of their orders.
1t was understood the action was
taken because production in the
Dominion--which supplies over 10
per cent of the United States news
print-has been running at about
100000 IONS monthly. while orders
have been above 100000 tons.
Publishing sources understood the
situation would be outlined to the

tions there meant that coal pro-
duction would continue in the State
beyond Mr.. Lewis June 20 truce
deadline. The miner chief called
off the strike in obedience to Presi-
dent Roosevelts commands. but
qualified it by fixing that date for
operators to agree to his contract
demands

cesslons in an order issued May 25

Chairman William H. Davis then
said the board will try to help
them work out a settlement.
Mr.. Lewis has resented every
move of the board. He ignored the
agency completely when the dispute
first flared. In his call for the
miners to go back to work he
charged the WLB with malicious
interference
Mr.. Ickes meanwhile last night
called on Mr.. Lewis to seek an end
to scattered strikes which still
dotted the coal picture.

I expect tnat you will use your
best efforts to see that these men

out on strike return to their posts
Immediately.
1T is estimated that the Interrupt
ton of production last week re-
suited in the loss of about II 900 900
tons Of coal which cannot be re-
captured. This loss of tonnage sub
stantially interferes with the con-
duct OF the war and with the Ma

house heating next winter. Every
ton of coal that can be mined now
is vital. I expect your assistance
and that of every person in the

is no interruption of work, however
restricted it may be, so that the
Nation can be assured the supply

SANTIAGO, Chile, June g.
Vice Admiral Julio Allard Pinto,
commander of the Chilean Navy
assumed the important post of
Minister of the Interior today in
new cabinet named by Presi-
dent Juan Antonio Rios after a
governmental crisis which forced
him to postpone a scheduled trip
to Washington.
The portfolio of minister of de-
tense was assigned to Gen. Oscar
Escudero, chief of staff of the army.
Four other newcomers took sub
ordinate posts in the cabinet, and
five of the resigning ministers were
reappointed to of1ice.
1t was reported that Foreign Min
lister Joaquin Fernandez would visit
the United States soon with a group
of government officials
The cabinet crisis was precipi-
tated yesterday by the sudden res
ignation of Raul Morales, minister
of the interior. who was to have
substituted for President Rios dur
ing the latters proposed trip to the
United States beginning June Is
or II.
Morales, who has been strongly
pro-democratic in his sympathies.
said he resigned because of ATTACKS
by members of my own radical
party" In customary gesture of
solidarity the other ministers i'm
mediately offered their resignation.
Some political observers expressed
belief that the attacks on Morales
were launched by his enemies in a
belief that he might have presiden-
tial aspirations.

the new cabinet, President Rios took

released its regular truck crop re-
port, which told of delayed planting
and retarded growth of crops in

The report said that acreage of some
early-season crops may fall below

! unable to plant on schedule as a
result of excessive rainfall last
month
| In other commercial truck crop
areas in the country, however, vege-
table and fruit growth was reported
as favorable.
The food survey prepared by the
| Bureau of Agricultural Economics
reported that so far this year the
total production of livestock prod
ucts has been materially larger
than during corresponding period
last year. Prospects are that pro-
duction for the rest of this year will
exceed 1912.
1t warned. however, that the pres
ent level OF livestock production can
not be maintained, lat least not
beyond l943.' unless "extraordinar-
lily good yields of feed grains are
obtained. IF crops prospects are
not improved in the next two
months, the consumption of food

the department stated.
