U, S. ASSUMES RAIL CONTROL Fuel Is Given First Place in the Priority Order of I. C. C. LEGISLATION MAY BE NEEDED Harding Submits Plan to Miners and Operators Former Balk at • Scheme, It Is Said—Lewis Calls It Complicated. V, Washington, July 27. —The federal government has assumed control-of all coal distribution and the railroad facilities engaged in the transportation of this class of fuel, foodstuffs and fuel oil. The priority order on foods and fuels applies Jo the railroads east of tlie Mississippi river. A separate order directs all the railroads in the United States to move traffic over the most direct routes. The plan for coal distribution as outlined by Secretary Hoover was rfianimously adopted here at u conference of mine operators, railway officials and government representatives. The interstate commerce commission at once issued an order establishing priority for the movement of coal and procedure at the various rail centers. President Harding will appoint judicial tribunals to adjust the coal situation,, within a week, irrespective of emergency efforts now being made to avert a fuel crisis. The purpose of those ipmsi-judicial bodies will be to stabilize the coal industry. Miners and operators will.be: excluded except to the extent of pleading their cause before these tribunals. The White House mude this; public ; following an extensive cabinet meeting- at which only the two major industrial problems, coal and railroads, were discussed. , < Action by congress also was fore- | cast in a bill' introduced by Senator Borah to create a fact-finding commis- ] iom The commission would make an I exhaustive study of coal mining, with j a view of recommending legislation to stabilize the industry and to prevent fu- i ture strikes. It would do officially what President Harding has said he would have done by a commission appointed by him. Ownership of the mines, cost of production and distribution. , profits, wages, irregular production, prices and other information sought by the government but blocked by the operators for years will be probed. President Harding has submitted to the coal operators and miners a plan for settling the coal strike, based upon guaranteeing to the miners a minimum wage for at least 280 days in the year, it was announced at the White House. •

The plan is understood to have heeu submitted by President Harding to John L. Lewis, president of the L'nited Mine Workers of America. It was said the plan was regarded favorably by a number of coal operators, but that the unions opposed it on the ground that it was too complicated. The L'nited Mine Workers, however, are understood not to have ilatly rejected the plan. _ The coal strike situation, it was officially explained, is complicated by _ a number of different issues, and 4s aggravated by the fact that a thoroughly unsound economic condition exists. There are from 200,000 to 300,000 more miners } iif tire country, it was stated, than is necessary for the production of the American coal supply. There are numerous coal mines which are unable to pay thwwage scale obtained by the miners’ unions. Some of the miners, it was stated, seem to lie Hilling to. work three days a week, provided they can'make enough in that time to live com- . fortahiy. This situation. President Harding believes, should be corrected, / Under the proposed plan, men would be guaranteed a minimum of 280" (lays’ work a year, and t lie employer who failed to furnish • that’ much work would be required to pay an additional sum for each day lost. In this way, it \vas said, a number of .mines being operated on unbound economic principles would gradually be eliminated, as those mine operators who could not furnish 280 days’ work annually could not afford to keep men employed. ■v ’ ; ... ~ ■ New Ruling on Special Mail.

ALLIES TO CONTROL Germany Accepts of Committee of Gurantees. Bureaus to Deal With Receipts and Expenditures and Movement, of —. —- Capital Abroad. Paris, July 25.—The "plan for the allied control of Germany's tituHtees worked but by the committee of guarantees. official acceptance of ..which by tire Herman government was announced here, provides for the accrediting of the committee’s representatives to practically all the departments of the German ministry of finance, over which they will exercise personal Supervision. The bureaus dealing with receipts and expenditures, the movement of capital abroad and questions relating to the publication of financial and economic statistics will he especially controlled. Germany agrees to furnish the com-r-mittee with monthly statements showing the progress in the collection of taxes; Including the income tax. . The percentages assessed on private business, daily statements of the amount of the floating’ debt nfid statements every ten days setting,forth the exact situation of the government’s finances are documents which the .German government has promised faithfully to make. Monthly reports nf the receipts front customs, taxes, the. post offices, rite telegraphs and the railways, supplemented monthly by a report on the situation of the floating debt, are further requirements to which Germany has agreed. _ Tlie German ministry of finance also must submit- to tlie committee quarterly statements of the- receipts and expenditures under the current budget. Finally, yearly, the recapitulation of the receipts and expenditures of tlie national budget after the annual settlement and balancing of the German government accounts must be furnished. The majority of the opinion in _French financial circles expresses satisfaction with-the plan adopted. A few extremists desire a more stringent control, hut generally it is thought that that would be ,tno,re difficult to exercise without prejudicing .the, sovereignty of tlie state.

STATESMEN FEAR GREAT UPHEAVAL Germany and Russia Forge a War Alliance, It Is Reported. FAILED TOJVRECK ENTENTE New Alignment Represents Population of 4007000,000Ttn Central Europe—Capitalists and Diplomats Prepare for Eventualities. Berlin, July 20. —It is considered certain here that one ot tlie hist realignments to bring about n collapse of present European alliances will lit* a llusso-Gernmu alliance, taking in tin* whole of central Europe and stretching from France to tlie Pacific coast. German officials say tlie isolation of Germany, Austria and Russia, witli llieir population of nearly 400,000,01X1 makes such an alliance necessary. “Those who are not with us are against us,” lias come to lie the slogan of German and Russian statesmen. The events of the past week that are expected to have the most important hearing upon the shaping of tlie immediate political future of. Germany are tlie collapse of the International conference on reconstruction of Russia at The Hague and the assumption of financial control of Germany by the allies. One underlying motive of Russian diplomacy at The Hague was to wreck the entente, but in this tlie Russians tailed. Russian statesmen believe, however, that they,can still hope for such a victory. • The immediate future will see two .great-history-making dramas: 1. A struggle for Russian oil concessions, which already is in lull swing. 2, A struggle to keep the crippled German eagle from fluttering eastward into Russia. George Tchitcheritt, ignoring I.enin’s personal request to take a rest, lias been here working feverishly day and night. Tchitdieriri’s dream is believed to he the formation of a German alliance. Europe's most aggressive industrial magnate, Hugo Stinnes. has been,most active preparing for such an amalgamation. The soviet, since the Genoa conference, ha? painstakingly refrained from all open propaganda, knowing the depth of anti-eomintUiism among many circles In Germany, especially Bavaria. - It is an established fact that there was m> military clause in the Rapallo (RusstxGerman) treaty signed during the Genoa conference. . Ilpwever, those who favor this “fierce RussoGermun friendship” believe there u ill lie an upheaval in Europe within the next six mouths which will muke u military agreement a necessity. The first test showing how close this alliance is may be expected soon.. It may urise from tlie resolution at Tlie Hague conference pledging tlie powers not to acquire Russian property formerly privately owned and subsequently nationalized. This resolution was aimed at the United States, where financiers were understood to lie dickering for concessions on Russian properties. Tlie allies are said to have made private overtures to Germany to induce iter to subscribe to this resolution.
