pointed out that the coal situation threatens industries and Individuals and recommended: "First, that the production and distribution of coal and coke be conducted by a pool In the hands of a movem

ent agency;

"That the producers of various grades of fuel be paid their full cost of

production plus a unlfor profit per ton

(with due allowance for quality of products and efficiency cf service) and; "Second, that transportation agencies of the United States, both rail and water, be similarly pooled and operated on government account under the direction of the president, and that all such means of transportation be operated as a unit, the owning corporations being paid a Just and fair compensation which would cover normal net profit, upkeep and betterments." In addition to these main recommendations the commission advised against recruiting miners for the army, pointing out that uncertain labor conditions have already threatened to dis

organize the Industry at a critical ! time. ! In brief, the commission finds that while anthracite production has been stimulated, uncertainty of transportation, lack of cars chiefly plus uncer

tainties of bituminous industry, have offset the Increases. Gambling in coal has been going on and many Industries have had to use anthracite coal. "The commission believes that the coal industry Is paralysing the industries of the country," says the report, "and that the coal industry Itself is paralyzed by the failure or transportation. "The coal problem cannot be worked out so long as the railroads are permitted to divide and allot traffic, to lay embargoes without regard to their Immediate effect upon Industry or upon the systematic distribution of coal, and to give priority to the movement of high freight rate commodities and to use the device of 'long haul." " The commission warned that If conditions continue as they now stand there will be real suffering In this country next winter, while Interests and public service corporations will be hard hit. "The speculative element In coal prices Is causing a lamentable situation," says the report, "and a dangerous tendency for inflammation In all business, due to, the fact that all contracts allow a liberal margin for skyrocketing of coal prices. The New England situation is acute by reason of transoortation and high rates. Gov

ernment control has been forced upon!

he allies and Germany In varying forma and this nation can learn a lesson from their experiences."

PASTIME TO-DAY WM. RUSSELL In a five act feature "MY FIGHTING GENTLEMAN" THURSDAY CHARLIE CHAPLIN in "SHANGHAIED" AND "SECRET KINGDOM''

From 1 o'clock tomorrow after, noon to 5 an children under 10 eara of age mmy flsh la Harrison Park and rejoice at the downfall of "The Hated Swan." Old Fritz, the great white awan and tyrant of the Harrison Park lagoon, has been sentenced to ninety days solitary confinement for assault with intent to kill a mother duck protecting her brood. And the feathered tribe In the green bowered dominion of Park Superintendent Peter Fox Is secretly rejoicing while pretending for reasons politic to sympathize with Fritz. Even the big sunflch spawning in shallow water near the bridge shares the general relief. The notorious Fritz was first found ullty by the kiddies of Hammond, who have watched with growing indignation his cruel reign. Majestically spreading his great white wings, gracefully craning his long neck, swimming at twice the speed of the lesser creature in the lagoon, the autocrat ruled with a devastating beak. It was a fussy little half-wild duck with a family of nine brown ducklings who swam after her in a pryamtd formation that Fritz terrorized for several days recently. He routed her from every home she found, striking repeatedly and causing the poor mother to vflee with her off-spring up the hank and through the bushes to wander about the park complaining and wailing. At first the children would run to the bank of the lagoon and scold Old Fritz who disdained to even hear their criticism of his acts. Then one day his temper broke forth and with an outpouring of abuse and a great flapring of wings he charged on the kiddles. They scurried to their respective homes near the park as fast as their little legs would carry them and a dozen fathers and mothers at the dinner tables last evening heard of the outrageous conduct of Old Fritz. The record of the fearful Fritz was Inquired Into and when It became

known that he had fought, conquered, and killed a swan who challenged his right to rule, the campaign against him started. By this time Fritz was

extending his conquest to land. Like ,

another emperor of whom he has many characteristics In commRn, albeit that he wages war on innocents, neutrals and those weaker than he, Fritz ignored the sentiment which was crystalizlng against him. He went In for ruthlessness, driving the poor mother duck to the far corners of the park with her crying brood. It was yesterday that Peter Fox caught Fritz In the act of wringing the neck of, the wretched brown duck. The park superintendent drove the big swan away, after an encounter, and a hurried trial waa held. Attorney J. Iv. Stinson, a witness at the last assault, acted as Judge, finding the swan guilty and aentepclng him to solitary confinement.
