Government to Take a
in Coal Situation.
Washington, July 25.-Th
eminent will take definite st
morrow in an effort to str
out a muddled coal situation.
The interstate commerce c
sion will issue an order for j
of movement in the transpo
of coal to New England. Thc
is expected to include a pro!
against the movement of an
to tidewater unless consigi
New England. This, in view
coal experts, will amount to i
bargo on the exportation of <
Under an order recently issi
the commission, more than a sc
railroads serving bituminous
in Pennsylvania,* Ohio, West 'S
ia, Virginia, Kentucky and T
see will begin to move coal t<
ports for transshipment to the
west. The summer movement o
to the northwest is more than ?
cent behind the schedule and tl
.roads will attempt to dump
carloads of coal a day at lake
Department of labor concil
tomorrow will J>egin their effo
bring an end to the walkout of
leaders in the Illinois fields
about two-thirds of the mines.
Officals of government ag<
concerned in the straightening c
the coal tangle today read the
ment issued by John L. Lewis,
ident of the United Mine Woi
in Indianapolis last night, bu
dined to comment. Mr. Lewis i
statement declared that any si
ment of the Illinois strike \
would modify the basic inter
agreement under which the m
of the central competitive field
are working would result in a
by national officers of the "Ji
Mine Workers to bring about a
sation of work by the 210,000
employed in that field.
The National Coal Associatior
organization of operators said to
resent two-thirds of the county':
tuminous production, in a stater
today took exception to severa
the assertions made 'by Mr. Lc
The association denied that the
nois operators had expressed the
sire to have the existing wage
tract amended as stated by the p
ident of the mine workers.
Exceptions was also taken by
association to Mr. Lewis' asser
that the coal operators were chi
ing unprecedented price for c
The average price for coal at
mines, the association statement ?
was from $3.50 to $4.00 and s
speculation and competitive bidd
by consumers compelled to buy c
at any price had boosted prices
from $12 to $15 a ton.
The question of coal costs J
prices was covered by the fedc
trade commission in its fou
monthly bulletin on bituminous c
costs issued today. The commissi
er's review of the bituminous ind
try for April showed that 1
average sales realizing of the 8
operators reporting for that moi
was $3.26 a ton while the aivera
reported f. o. b. mine cost amount
to $2.76. Of the latter amount $2.
represented labor costs per ton,
cents the cost of supplies and
cents general expense or overhe?
The difference between the sal
realization and th f. o. b. mine cc
was 50 cents a ton, which the coi
misson emphasized could not
considered such as .selling costs ai
interest.

A quiet Sabbath was had today by
Governor Cox. After an early horse
back ride, he attended Christ Epis
copal church with Mrs. Cox and
James W. Gerard, of New York, for
mer American Ambassador to Ger
many, who stopped here en route
home from a visit in the West.
Word of a strong swing in the
West toward the democrats was
brought to the governor by Mr. Ge
pard, who urged a vigorous western
campaign. Mr. Gerard promised his
aid in every way and place desired.
"r was very much impressed with
the governor," said Mr. Gerard. "He
will make a strong appeal to the
country, particularly the progress
ives of the western country. When
his record of progressives legislation
in Ohio is known, I am sure his
strength will grow even more."
The league of nations and other
international affairs, including Mr.
Gerard's experiences in Germany, j
were discussed at length with Gov-1

felt sure the governor's positioa on
the league would be one of the
strongest democratic assets.
