COAL PRICES Industrial Slump Expected to Bring Prices Down to Cost of Production

r INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE lVDIAXAPOLJS. Ind. I-eb.l. Th prices of coal in Indiana probably will go down to actual cost of production - or even lower if business condition, continue at the present low ebb. Tfais forecast Is made In a statement made public today by the department i.'f Information of the Xational Coal a ysociat ion.

Instead of the coal buyer seeking the producer, the producer today il seeking the buyer, us a result of rapid i changes !n the Indiana coal market, j nne Iecember 1, according to the statement. ''With each succeeding week In January the condition of 'no market" has Increased and mines, especlally wagon mines, have been forced to shut down." It says, because j they cannot produce and deliver coal l at prevailing prices, which are "runninjr much below those which were' freely offered by buyers prior to De- I

eember 1.' Causes for the general depression are griven as follows: 1. Delivery of a. "fairly adequate" car supply by the railroads after Xoi'. 1, relieving the market demand. J. Unexpected slump in Industrial situation throughout country, with plants consequent reduced or working on a greatly reduced basis. 3. Great falling oft of railroad traf

fic due to industrial depression, with! consequent reduced consumption of j ful by carriers. I 4. Cancellation of contracts by the ;

consumers. The slump did not cause any noticeable reduction In coal production until the latter part of December, however.

because producers were unable to j move oal at reduced rates, it is stat- j d, arn with improved car supply the ' production last month was greater than for any other month of the year. A factor causing great concern to! the industry, the statement continues 1s a "very prevalent tendency on the part of buyers and consumers" to reduce greatly or suspend entirely their contracts with tho operators. It Is

estimated by the association that at least seventy-five per cent of contracts In the Indiana field are thus affected. The only period in the history of the coal industry in which this condition has been approached, it states, was just before the signing of the armistice, in November. 1018. The scope of the situation created by suspension of contracts 1s indicated, it Is pointed out. by the fact that it applies to retail dealers, industrial piants, public utilities and railroads, and does not apply to domestic users, who burn only 12 to 15 per cent of the coal output. The "crippling: financial effect," accordingto the national association. Is "felt very keenly" by the stable producers who "did their best to live up to" contracts with regular customers. Forecasting a sharp cut in prices, the statement asserts this "unhealthy condition cannot continue for any extended period because it "would bankrupt the industry in a .short time if persisted In." The remedy lies In the restoration of confidence as regards contracts, it concludes".

"There is not one Imng rabbit, ikare, or deer in the whole cold forest, not even ono hungry bird," a:d little Toto, the Indian boy. He swung his bow of dried doeskin about his neck, put his arrows 'into their quiver, and sadly looked ,at his empty game bag. ; "The Chief will beat me, if I go back without food for him," ha said; "but where is game to be fotind in this snowy forest?" Toto lived with the Great Chief. ille had no real father and mother, for, when he was only a baby, he had been stolen by this tribe. r So little Toto had grown up mong the enemy, who used him very cruelly and made a slave of him. This Winter morning the Chief had Kent him out to And food nd had told him that if he returned with empty game sack ha would uffer for it. "Perhaps I can cat a hole in tha v or the river nnd net some fish," t last thought Toto, too frightened to return without some kind of food for the hungry Chief. He waded through the high drifts " nd at last came to the roaring river. "Tha wind blows so fiercely that the water cannot freeze." thought Toto, very sadly, as he knew that ha conld" never catch fish in a rushing current. At last he came to tha river's Jge and looked at the rushing water. Great ice cakes were floating down. They were coming neater and nearer. Toto watched them sharply, for ft seemed to him that dark objects were atop the ica cakes. The water was bringing tho ice nearer, and then Toto could not "rxlieve his yes. for the dark objects upon the big Ice cakes wer hares, deer, rabbits, partridge, and even great sea fish. And there were other cakes that carried great stalks of maize, hunches of purple gTapes, and rosy apples. Toto was not too frightened to forget what to do. Just rs a great cake of ice floated past him with a fine, fat rahhit atop it. the little hoy Jumped out from he bank and

squarely upon it. He threw his arms about the Tabbit, but when he tried to lift it he could not. for tha animal was frozen to the ice. "Well, I'll get something else." said Toto. looking about at the floating Ice cakes. Just then a chunk with a great fish on it came rushing by, and Toto tried to lift his little mocassins, hut he could not, for he, too, was stuck fast. The little boy was frightened, for he knew that the river flowed to the sea and it was growing wider and wider. Even if he could get off the ice cake, he could never reach, land. On and on hl strango ship rushed, and the rabbit looked at him with kind eyea and rubbed her soft fur against hl3 fet. Sometimes when another Ire boat drifted" past him, Toto would feel a soft nose poked Into his hand and would see a ftazpl?e or deer looking at him. Wider- and wider grew (he river and Toto oxr tied to see the freat sea very soon. Another rjueer thinjj was hnppening. The air was much warmer. Golden sunshine beat down upon him. and the trees along the bank wero green with leaves. Hotter and hotter "burned tha sunshine snd a terrible thing began happening. His ice boat was meltlrg away from under him. It ws" becoming s- th'n that the little rabbit was touched by the water and Toto could feel th cold water upon his feet. He shut his eyes, all ready for drowning, when he heard a sweet voice F-iy: "Welcome to the land where yoa shall be Chief, Toto." Then the rushing of the water stopped. There was no river, hut only a beauPftil grassy plain, with r;reat trees. The rabbits and deer scuttled away into me woods, the fish flopped away, the corn and maize began to grow in the rich soil, and the purple grapes hung themselves upon the vines. It was the Summer Fairy who welcomed Toto to this beautiful land, where he ruled happily for many years.
