SURVEY SHOWS PLENTY OF COAL FOR ALL WINTER Shortage May Result in Few Communities if Railway Men Strike. There will be coal enough for all this winter in spite of slump in mine production, according to information gathered from every section of the country. If the railroad strike threat materializes there may be a shortage in some localities but dealers in most cities report a reserve sufficient to carry them through the winter. Kansas and neighboring States report the lowest coal stocks due to the strike. Other facts disclosed by the survey are: That despite the fall in prices of many commodities, coal remains aoout the same price as last year. That partly because of this and partly because consumers are awaiting a fall in freight rates, most householders delayed iaying in winter stocks until the recent cold snap caused a rush in buying. PRODUCTION ABOUT HALF THAT OF 1920. On the basis of present conditions. Government officials do not expect any winter shortage. The total production of soft coal for lilin is estimated as 393,7a.!,000 tons as compared with 556,421),OW> tons last year. Part of this falling Is explained by slack business conditions and part by the falling off in the export trade. Government figures also show that many miners are out of work and railroad coal carrying equipment is idle. It is believed, therelore, production could be speeded up quickly. Most sections of tbe country reported slack buying until a few days ago, a good supply in the hands of dealers and only slightly lower prices. In the East, such cities as New York and Philadelphia, normal or above stocks were reported with slack buying and prices about the same as last year. Pennsylvania cities, in the heart of the coal district, reported lowest prices, with vo fear of shortage. ONLY SMALL SUPPLY IN CLEVELAND. Cleveland reports only a thirty-day reserve on hand, but with shipments speeding np. Columbus, Ohio, reports a large reserve. Kansas City and St Louis report small reserves and little advance buying, but no fear of a shortage. In Chicago coal prices are $4 a ton less than last year, but only a thirty or forty-five-day supply is. on hand. Southern cities in many cases report Stocks lower than ordinary, due to the belief by dealers and consumers that a fall in freight rates was due. Heal Estate Dealers’ Convention Closed to The Times.

CHILD WELFARE THEME AT WORKS BOARTTS SESSION West Kansas Street Women Say Concern Only an Excuse. An arugment over which was the more Interested in the welfare of children, their mothers or the boaTd of public works, developed today when a delegation of women residing in West Kansas street between Meridian and Illinois streets asked that new sidewalks being laid in the section be placed next to the curb instead of next to the property line. The delegation, led by Mrs. Guy Braughton, 26 West Kansas street, insisted that the street would not lie beautified if the board bad the sidewalks placed on the property line so as to leave a fivefoot lawn space between the sidewalk and street. Some people would care for the lawn spaces and others would not and the result would be an unsightly bodge podge, the women declared. TELL WHY CURB, WALKS DENIED. Mark 11. Miller, president, and Richard A. Shirley, member ot the board, declared that the board had adopted the policy of ordering walks next to the property lines because it prevented children from dashing directly off of the sidewalks into streets in front of moving vehicles. •Were not going to be responsible for the murder of children and thaCs just what it would amount to,” said Mr. Miller. Mrs. Braughton replied that she suspected she and other mothers were just as much interested in the welfare of children as the board and that she thought the board was giving this reason just as an excuse for not giving the property owners what they wish. She said that if she bad had tipie she would have had more property owners in to tell the board what they wished. “It doesn't make any different, if every one of them came in it wouldn’t change us in this,” said Mr. Miller. “There’s no use talking any more about this. PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY DON’T WANT. “Why should a person have something they don't want?” inquired Mrs. Braughton. “The property owners pay for these walks. Why can't they have them where they want them?” The board was immovable. As the women turned to go Mrs. Elizabeth Follow, widow, residing at 30 West Kansas street, remarked: “Wait until Shank gets in, we'll get what we want” Tbe members of the ljoarcl laughed aloud and the women departed in indignation. , “If we had known the board was going to have those walks put next to the property line we never would have petitioned for them.” said Mrs. Braughton Mrs. Grace Denton. 14 West Kansas street, °greed with her. “When you're from tte south side you can't expect tc get any consideration, anyway.” War Service Aid to Postal Opplicants WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—President Harding today took steps to mi ce the way easier for those who served in the World War to secure appointment in the postal service.

PROGRESS MADE IN CONFERENCE ON IRISH PEACE Delegates Hint Patch-up of Differences With Associates. LONDON, Oct. 14.—Definite progress toward peace has been made by the Irish conference. This announcement was made today when the subcommittees reported to the delegates at 10 DoVning street, the result of their conversations Arthur Griffith and the other Sinn Feiu plenipotentiaries drove to the Premier’s residence a few minutes before II o’clock. Only a small crowd of Irish sympathizers was on hand to greet them. After today's session the work of the conference will consist largely in negotiations between subcommittees. \ The session lasted less than two hours. The next meeting of the conference was scheduled for 3:30 Monday afternoon. The time was arranged so as not to conflict with the ceremonies Incident to the decoration of the unknown warrior's tomb by American Ambassador Harvey. Both sides agreed it was futile to try to fix responsibility for violations of the truce and agreed to center their attention on making effective the truce in the future. .Sinn Fein headquarters explained that the statement attributed to Michael Collins, after yesterday's session “We are not coming back”) was, if made, “only Mickey’s little joke.” The subcommittees, it was said, have made definite progress toward an understanding regarding observance of the truce. Despite the official optimism, however, it was felt the demand of Sinn Fein for release of the prisoners would cause difficult es before the conference bad proceeded much further. Preliminary discussions, it wag said, might be deared up by tile first of next week, ant: the practical work of hammering out an amicable Irish solution might be expected to commence Monday or Tuesday.

Many of the tenants of the building lurried to the street while others renamed to guard and protect merchandise in the shops of the second and third floor of the building. Neither flames nor wfcter damaged stores on the first and second floors and the small amount of water on the third floor did no damage to the protected merchandise and furniture.
