AUGUST COAL PRODUCTION Terre Haute, Sept. 2—Production of coal by Indiana mines for the week ended August 23rd was 514,282 tons. This was the greatest amount for any one week this year with the exception of the week ended January 11th. and is the first week for several months in which orders have been sufficient to permit the operation of the various mines in the Indiana field at more than half capacity. Almost every operator had orders that would have permitted very nearly j full time production had the facilities | been available. With a great increase I in the tonnage came the expected car shortage which decreased production 21.89 per cent. This car shortage was j apparent on almost every road and on some of them it was particularly severe. The C. & E. I. for instance, which serves forty-five mines had a shortage of 17.36 per cent. The C. T. H. & S .E. 15.08 per cent., the E. & I. 1 37.33 per cent., the Monon 27.63 per ■ cent, and the Pennsylvania 30.34 per I cent. An additional loss of time Y>ccurred I through local strikes which cut down production by 3.79 per cent. While j there was an abundance of orders for lump coal, operators found difficulty I in disposing of screenings, which indicated that steam users have not begun to lay in a surplus against the : winter's rigors.

INTRODUCES BILL FOR GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION (United Prpss Service) Washington. Sept. 3—Private own- , ership and operation of the railroads v under strict government supervision, I with labor sharing in management and * I earnings, is provided in a bill introc duced today by Senator Cummings, j 1 chairman of the senate interstate com- | merce committee. Strikes and lockouts are made ‘linal offenses by the bill and elaborate < ’jprovisions for participation of employ- 1 ’ es in fixing wages and working condi- ! ! tions are made. 1 A joint committee on wages and’ 1 working conditions on which both ’ sides are equally represented, is ere- “ 1 ated. 'I A railway transportation board with '• sweeping powers over the roads is 1 prbvided. The interstate commerce: • ' commission would be given authority over issue of stocks and bonds and dcr termination of a fair return. r | The roads would be returned the last day of the month in which the bill becomes a law. j n l The bill also provides for: e | Ultimate re-organization of the 1 roads into 20 to 35 competent systems. y | Employes and public each to have I ’’ two members on boards of directors. I I Excess earnings to be used, one-half e for purchase of equipment by railway | board, to be leased to roads and the ; other half to be administered by an . ! emloyes advisory council for establishing a system of profit sharing for employes, improvement of working ly ■ conditions, invention of safety devices, technical education of employes and ’ to supplement employes pensions and n. . insurance. ‘C l The railway board would have broad 1 powers in routing traffic, compelling j joint use of terminals and suggesting improvements in service generally. The Cummins bill is the result of iv weeks of conferences between railwav h. rt officials, financiers and labor leaders I with a special sub-committee of the — senate. The Jiill is recommended by 2 the sub-committee to the senate interstate commerce committee. (By Ralph H.

National officials fear some local unions which voted to reject the proposal today may attempt to carry I out the original order with the hope ; of stampeding other locals into similar action. Approximately one-third of the seven thousand local shopmen's unions have completed the vote and reported. ■ A majority of these unions voted to accept the proposal, officials said i today. No day has yet been fixed on which balliting must cease.

CASTOFFS HAVE DONE VERY WELL (United PreRR Service) Now York. Sept. 2 —lt was Dick Rudolph who was mainly responsible for the Braves' roughshod treatment of the Giants in 1914. Milton Stock had quite a little finger in the 1915 pie the Phillies cut. In 1916, Rube Marquard had some thing of importance to do with the winning of a pennant by the Dodgers. In 1917, Eddie Cicotte ruffled the Red Sox by hefting the White Sox into a world’s championship. What’s it all about? Nothing much, except that Dick Rudolph was tossed off by the Giants, and so were Stock and Marquard. Cicotte was spurned by the Red Sox in the past ages. And Bill Rariden, Heinie , Groh, Eddie Rousch and Slim Sallee, ! now championing for Cincinnati, were ; blown off by the Giants. * * * *

' The Giants paid $40,600 for Arthur Nehf—or so it is claimed. Judged by that, what is Babe Ruth worth? i Nehf lost his first two starts for the | Giants, although he pitched fairly well 'in both pastimes. Both games were ’ vital in the averages of the flounderjing New Yorkers. In one of them the Reds punched him full of holes and , climbed out another game. i Jack Dempsey has left the socking . business flat and is uplifting the cir■|CUS where Jess Willard left off. •' And only a few short months ago I he was promising to defend his title - whenever a worthy opponent appealbed. j' Perhaps Willie Meehan isn’t worthy ; in the eyes of Dempsey, but he holds I a couple of decisions over the world's 1 , champion, and the public would like f to know how about it.

S I vegetable compound to my friends and i customers—what was then known only as c Dr. Lewis’ Medicine for Stomach, Liver p ■ and Bowel Complaints. For many years while I was perfecting my formula I studied and investigated the laxatives and cathartics on the market and became convinced that their main fault j was pot that they did not act on the bowels, but that their action was too violent and drastic, and upset tho system of the uccr; which was duo to tho fact that they were 1 not thorough enough in their action, somo tr ' simply acting on toe upper or small intcs5 , tines, while others would act only on the b lower or largo intestines, and that they s 1 almost invariably produced a oaoit requiring augmented doses. [. I believed that a preparation to produce P the best effect-must first tone the liver, 1 then act on the stomach and entire alimenI- tary system. If this was accomplished, the V medicine would produce a mild, out thorough elimination of the waste without ' the usual sickening sensations, and make 6 the user feel better at once.

Tho thousands us letters from users have convinced me I was right, and that the user of Nature’s Remedy as a family medicine, even though lio may hava u-ved it f r twcuty-tive years, never Las to increase the dose. My knowledge of mediclno and tiro resulta of its use in my cv.n family and among my friends, bcf^ _ e I ever offered it for t :.le, caused me to have great faith in CiaUrt’s Eir.s-y from tho very first.

It is a consoling thought, my friends, for a man at my rxge to feel that aside from hia own success, one haa dona something for his fellow man.
