industrial Use Of Coal
Drops as Conversion
To Other Fuels Rises
by The Asseeiaisd Press

DR.. w. H. Young of the Bureau Of
Mines reported yesterday that sta
tistics for 1945 showed decline in
coal consumption in industry In
comparison with the use Of other
fuels.
''The consumers give two principal
reasons for changing over" he said,
lone, it's more convenient and easier
to handle petroleum, a fact which
more than offsets the higher cost
Of oil. Two, consumers say they are
tired Of being tied up by strikes"
Conversion Started After VI Day.
We operated canvass on a
monthly basis of 10000 large in
dustrial plants" said DR.. Young,
chief of the bureaus bituminous
section.
Every week we get two to half
a dozen letters from manufacturers
saying that they no longer consume
coal and wish to be taken OF the
bituminous coal section lists. These
are manufacturing plants, not two
by-four buildings and apartment
houses.
This conversion to gas and oil
began to occur a few weeks after
Japan's surrender"
An official of the Solid Fuels Ad-
ministration said there is little like
lihood of small factories and do
mestic consumers converting to oil
in large numbers at present, simply
because OF inability to get equip
ment.
War Created Heavier Demand.
A Bureau of Mines study of the
percentage of the total energy sup
ply contributed by mineral fuek
in the United States showed thai
in 1886 the coal percentage wa
53.3 per cent. In 1910 it was 49,:
per cent During the war years
coal came into HEAVIER demand anG
in 1912 contributed SGT per cent.
The coal percentage declined from
53.3 per cent In 1914 to 51.3 per cent

teachers in St. Paul

To Strike Tomorrow
Bv .he Asxoe;ofsd p,.s,

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-Teach-
ers' strikes which probably would
close all Minneapolis and st. Pau
public schools to their 100000 pupils
beginning Monday, moved closer tc
reality tonight.
Negotiations were stalemated, al
though last-minute efforts were be-
ing made both here and in st. Pau
to avert walkouts.
In general, the issues were the
same-higher salaries plus schoo
board action to improve educational
facilities. Tied Inf with the disputes
were legal limitations on amounts
either board can appropriate.
Taking note of this, the st. Pau
City Council, which also serves al
the school board, maintained II
could not accede to any of the
capital city teachers demands. The
Minneapolis Board of Education
contended its taxing powers enabled
1t to meet demands only in part.
Both the mems and women's locals
Of the AFL Federation of Teachers
have voted to strike in st. Paul
Only the mems local has called
the Minneapolis strike. but the
women's unit has voted against
going through picket lines. Schools
in both cities will be picketed. Min
neapolis has about 1000 teachers;
st. Paul, 1000.
The st. Paul union asks a mini
mum starting salary of $2,400 a year
for teachers holding bachelor of
arts degree, with a maximum of
5000, depending upon tenure. The
present scale ranges from $1,000
minimum to $4,000 top. Mime
apolis teachers ask a $4,000 starting
minimum and a 5000 maximum
compared with present schedule
of 81 500 and 5000.

freedom and liberal democracy; certainly
to restore these rights to nations from
whom they had been violently snatched by
Hitler and Mussolim and their gangs. The
citizens of the liberated countries looked
for immediate action on the part of the
victorious United States to guarantee them
the freedoms which are fundamental and
indispensable to democracy, one of the
most vital of which is freedom of the press.
And the United States has not come
through.
L HERE is one reason above all others why
we should come through, and should fol-
low up our military knockout blow with
political power even more unmistakable.
That reason we should have learned better
than we have: free speech, the free press
and all the other freedoms integral to
democracy have the queer cohesive quality
of being indivisible. Suppress or destroy
one and you undermine the next. Elimi
nate these freedoms from one country and
their existence in the next is threatened.
The authority of democracy lies basi-
cally in the guaranteeing of freedom to its
citizens, to the maximum degree possible.
1t would do no harm for us to extend the
proof of this to every country where we
have assumed any responsibility or had
any thrust upon us, either of an admins
trative or a philanthopic or an economic
kind
If the United States is to be represented
in Europe then we should be impIementing
the visible and tangible American forces
by the moral and political power of
everything that is inherent in our own
democracy.
WORLD politics, like world war, is very
tough, dirty, and realistic business If we
should put price on our help to the
liberated countries, and demand its pay
ment in full, we would be doing no more
= than the other major powers who are
determined to get out of this war what
they went into it for.
If the first installment of our price
happened to be freedom of the press,
without which nobody could expect
American participation in postwar re-
habilitation or world organization, we
would have made one definite, concrete
demand before the whole world of sort
that the world now very clearly COM
prehends. 1t will be our tragedy if we
remain the only power that refuses to come
to that understanding, and act upon it.

Your security in the future
depends on more than buffer
states and island bases

IKE the survivors of all wars, the United
IL Nations are casting about for system
of security" to safeguard them against
another conflict
To many of the searchers, security"
means buffer states, island bases, air
routes, oil fields. preferred economic posi-
tons or political dominance.
should like to suggest that security
rests not 50 much in any of these as in
certain intangibles, and that the one carry
ing the greatest promise of peace is
freedom of the press
l SAY this because freedom of the press is
the most accurate yardstick by which to
measure all other freedoms. 1t is part of
free speech, which is the articulation of
freedom of thought, conscience and fran
chise Some of us believe that the guar
anteeing of such freedom to the nations
enslaved by Hitler and liberated by us was
our most urgent political war aim. So far
we appear to have done practically nothing
about it.
HE other great powers who participated
in the war all seem perfectly clear, indeed
alarmingly clear, as to where their in
terests lie And it is our pecularity that in
spite of our overwhelming military and
industrial power, we are always in fog
about where our interests lie; often we do
not even appear to know what our in
terests are.
From an inside view of this situation
- that is, from within liberated coun-
tries which owe their deliverance to
American as we'll as Russian or British
military might - it looks unbelievable
that the United States fails to insist upon
implementing its share of the victory.
European nations and peoples who have,
willingly or not, been embroiled in wars
for centuries, hold the realistic view that
the victors will expect to get what they
were fighting for. All Europe understands
thoroughly that the United States has not,
and never did have, any territorial in
terests on that Continent.
No, these European peoples really be-
lieve, unless we force them to think other
wise, that the United States was in the
war to extend the world areas of political
