COAL SHORTAGE NOW
EEAREIJ IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Sept. IS*.—Declaring
that the increase in coal production
in Washington was averaging only
60,000 tons a month in the face of an
increased consumption of 150,000
over last year, the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce and Commercial Club
today telegraphed Dr. H. A. Garfield,
fuel administrator, asking that steps
he taken immediately to establish a
government policy guaranteeing the
fullest possible supply of coal, while
protecting the public against exces
sive prices.
Action by the commercial organi
zation followed a conference of coal
consumers and importers and oil
dealers, called together by Dr. Henry
Suzzalo, chairman of the state de
fense council.
The message to Dr. Garfield as
serts that facts submitted by coal op
erators indicate that the situation
may be ruled only by "classifying
mines according to the dfferent char
acter of the output and establishing
prices on different qualities of coal
from each class of mine, basing these
prices on the best available figure for
actual cost of production.”
Decrease in coal shipments from
British Columha, decrease in avail
able wood because of strikes in mill
and general increase in industrial ac
tivity are given as reasons for the
greatly increased demand for coal
from the mines of the state.
The message declares that the most
striking fact brought out is the al
most certainty of a fuel shortage un
less an extraordinary increase in pro
duction is secured.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. 8ept. 19 —
An attack on what they called the
treas<piable propaganda ot the Peo
ple's Connell (or Democracy and
Terms ot Peace was made in the
house today by Representative John
son of South Dakota, one of the mem
bers of congress who voted against
the declaration of war. He said It was
about time thatecongressmen made it
known to the people who are sending
them this literature that congress is
united and that the men who voted
agaliftt the entry of the United States
into the war are supporting the gov
ernment in every possible way.
"I received in the malt today some
of iiiis literature from a certain Peo
ple's council or some other body, and
if is time some of us who opposed the
entry into the war should answer
their treasonable attacks and not
leave it up to you who forced the
war to make the reply," Representa
tive Johnson said. "This combine of
supposed citizens says the entente al
lies cannot secure a victory over Ger
many even with our aid, that the only
possible peace is by compromise.
“I mention such statements only
to call to the attention of the gentle
men who send out literature of that
kind, if the density of the skulls will
permit me to give them information,
that that kind of propaganda will
have no Influence on the people of
this country.
■ "The time for debate ceased with
the declaration of war. Before then
we could and did. disagree. Now we
are either for or against the United
States. This congress, no matter how
the individual members voted on the
original declaration of war, is going
to support the government to the end
until the United States is victorious.”
WHEAT MARKET ON
THIS COAST WANTED
PORTLAND. Ore.l Sept. 19.—
Grainmen and bankers from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho numbering
about 200 met here today and decid
ed to ask President Wilson to author
ize the establishment of a primary
wheat market somewhere in the Pa
cific Northwest. The grainmen claim
that the government’s request that
deals be made at Chicago prices is a
disadvantage to the Northwest. By
selling wheat at Chicago prices, the
meeting resolved, Northwestern deal
ers must absorb the 30 cents freight
charges on every bushel between the
Northwest and Chicago.
“We are not complaining about the
price itself,” said C. L. Mackenzie,
president of the First National bank
of Colfax, Wash., in addressing the
meeting. “The fact is that we. have
to pay the 30 cents rate to Chicago
whether we ship it there or not. Dur
ing the past ten years Portland wheat
prices have not varied greatly from
Chicago prices. When we sell at Chi
cago prices and then pay the freight
rate we sell at figures lower than or
dinary and thus lose.”
M. C. Goodner, wife and brother
arrived on the steamer Mariposa last
night from Seattle. Mr. Goodner is
a mining man.
