"There is a shortage of miners In this district, but this is not responsible for the shortage of coal. A shortage labor and & shortage of cars do net go together. We could use several thousand mrtre miners in this district, but that would not get any more coal on the market, as there are no cars to ship it in. The car shortage is causing mines to shut down certain days of the week and keeping miners from working who are anxious for the work. Under this condition you cannot say that there is a shortage of labor, as these men are anxious to work and cannot. At the same time some operators are anxioucf. to hire additloaal miners. "The shortage of coal that we suf fered last winter will not compare with the shortage that will be suffered during the coming winter. I am«tfraid that people in Indiana will freeze to death bocause they cannot get coal. There is practically no coal stored in the country. The railroads and the big' industries are using more coal than ever before. Most of the coal that is being moved now was bought long before it ever left the mine.

Some Other Reasons.

'.'The railroads are using every old engine that can be repaired and put in running condition and many of the big manufacturing plants are running 24 hours a day. This aloe makes a big demand for coal."

Rooms are Sealed, But Work Continues in Other Veins—Indian Creek Idle.

By Special Correspondent. BICKNELL, Ind., July 11.—Inspect' ors are still waiting for a lower temperature at the Indian creek mine before unsealing the 28 rooms that were sealed on account of fire. The fire has been out several days but the heat has caused the rooms to remain closed.

CIDENSIO OH PRICES

WASHINGTON, July 11.—Canners of the country are asked to reduce prices to as low a level as possible in a letter sent them by Herbert C. Hoover today in which he warns that the output of the home canneries, swelled to unusual proportions by reason of the back yard gardening oampalgns, may prove a serious embarrassment to the manufacturers In disposing of this year's product. "There will be no difficulties in securing markets for the staple and heavy selling lines providing prices are low," said Mr. Hoover, "but if canners and Jobbers persist in asking high prices, they will find retailers carrying these high cost goods on their shelves for succeeding years and a depressed market for canned products."

RUSSIA CHEERS NEW HERO.

Nation Rings With Name of Kornl loff, Victor in Galicla. PETROGRAD, July 11.—Russia is ringing with the name of the latest hero of the war, Lieut.-Gen. L. G. Kurniloff, victor of Galicla, whose astonishing feat first proved that the new advance is no more flash in the pan. General Korniloff la the most daring, chivalrous and scholarly officer in the army. From a romantic rise from humble origin Russian history has only one parallel—that is Michel Vassillevltch Lomonosof, fisherman's son, poet, philosopher, creator of the modern Russian language, in the first half of the eighteenth century.

From log cabin to general is the literal text of he chronicle of General Korniloff's career. Born 46 years ago, son of a need-stricken Karalinsk Cospack in western Siberia, who later reared a large family on a pittance gained as the village clerk, young Korniloff early began rough forest work. At the age of nine he received his first instruction. When barely 13, he by his own exertions and all-night studies, qualified to enter the Siberian cadet corps, largely composed of sons of local magnates. Thanks again to his own efforts, this indomitable Siberian pioneer character gained free training at the Michailovsk artillery school where his amazing mathematical faculties brought approval from the authorities even though he was suspected, -with reason, of being a secret revolutionist.

Next General Korniloff was an officer in tbe guards and being penniless he was obliged to serve in Turkestan. In the Japanese war he received the rank of colonel atid was entrusted with a desperate mission—that of covering the retreat from Mukden of one of General Kuropatkin's shattered armies. It was executed with such resolution and skill he was given the St. George cross.

In Galicla in 1915 he repeated the Mukden feat, covering under fen unexampled month-long hail of Austro-Hungarian-German shells, wherein his own forces broke through the encircling foe, but ht himself was wounded and taken prisoner by the Austrians.

The enemy press related that their generals were so impressed with General Korniloffs accomplishments and noble bearing that the return of his sword showed greater honor to Russian's Admirable Crichton than to their own victorious commander. His restless apirit did not long stand captivity. After a daring flight from an Austrian prison camp, an astonishing adventure, he reached Russia.

At the outbreak of the revolution he was invited to command the troops of Fetrograd," implying full confidence in revolutionary Russia. When the disorders arose General Korniloff, fearing the necessity of repression, resigned, saying he would sooner shoot the foe than his own countrymen. He took command of the Eighth army, whose

isting dualism between the government and the people must cease. Thereafter the chancellor again briefly spoke before the committee without reaching any decision.

Reichstag Split. »*.

Afternoon papers yesterday generally assumed that an agreement of all parties except conservatives and extreme socialists had been reached by a Joint declaration to th® reichstag on peace terms and internal reforms. This, it Is eaid, would contain' a reiteration i of the chancellor's announcement of August 1914, that Germany's purpose in the war was not conquest but defenae and Independence of territorial integrity, expressing a readiness to conclude peace on that basis with a provision rejecting all designs aiming at an economic boycott and continuance of international hostility after the war.

The declaration, afecorrtfng- to report,' would also cover the formation of a coalition ministry with representatives of ail parties, and immediate reform of the Prussian franchise.

The national liberals, however, at a meeting in the evening, rejected the peace part of the resolution and as the centrists had made their attitude conditional on national liberal assent the success of the movement la threatened. The radicals, on the other hand, decline to concur in that part of the resolution dealing with Internal reforms if this »»re on condition, as the nationals wished, of Dr. BethmannHoilweg's retirement. The whole matter therefore is in doubt again. One positive fact elicited by Herr Erzberger*a declaration is that he and other members of the main committee of the reichstag, did in the course of attacks on the admiralty and government, suggest the abandonment of the submarine campaign.

Saya War Must Continue. The Germans cannot declare their terms of peace and "must flght and conquer," Dr. Von Bethmann-Hoilweg, the Imperial chancellor, ia reported to have told members of the reichstag. Peace without annexations is not looked upon with favor by the German government, the chancellor is reported to have said, adding: "I am sure we can win if we hold out."
