In nearly every section of the country the liquor interests are seeking in junctions restraining the Federal Government from prohibiting sales. The House Agriculture Committee today agreed to hear friends of John Barleycorn on December 10. when a repeal ol war-time prohibition will be asked by Congressman Galllvan of Massachusetts and others. Gallivan today pointed out that the Govern ment will lose about 5.500.OOO.000 in revenue, and the loss to financial In stitutions and the liquor interests will be close to $1 .OOO.OOf.OOO.

I to settle the strike of the miners, or Ito change tile basts of wage?? adjuut ment that has been sanctioned by th?. | Fuel Administration will serve to I compiiate a very serious situati?"?!.. land render more difficult the worit of linai adjustment and reopening of the coal mine?. The text of the mes-.-age lo the giv ernors is not available at the de partment of Justice. Indeed, no one there will admit that ttie message has been rent. Dr. Garfield was almost as reticent but paying, however, that his author ity a.? fuel administrator, conferred by appointment of the President, a.?*'. ing under his war powers, is compet ent to deal with the situation throughout the whole country./ l'abile Must \ot ray More. "Tin? Kederal Oovernment is fol lowing the principle in seeking a settlement of the strike that the pub lic must not be called upon to pay an increased price l'or coal under any wage advance that may be granted to the miners." said Dr. Garfield today. "The C.overnment has found that 14 per cent represents the sum between the per cent of increase in the cost of living and the per cent of wage increase since 191"*. Consequently, this per cent has been suggested to the miners and opeiators as a basis of settlement, and has been accept ed by the operators. "Manifestly, the Federal Govern ment cannot take cognizance of propositions to settle this matter that emanate from any other sources, particularly if they carry with them the prospect of an Increased cost of coal to the consuming public. "After careful consideration of the ehttre wage controversy, the Govern ment considers the increase of 14 per cent to be fair and equitable, and 1, as Fuel Administrator. will not countenance a larger Increase." Slleet O? (ox's Offer. Dr. Garfield declined to discuss the report from Ohio that Governor Cox is understood to. sanction an increase of 2G? per cent to the miners. Activities of the governors in the coal situation ere understood to have been discussed at length In the con ference between Dr. Garfield and At torney General Palmer. At that time the entire coal situation was thoroughly canvassed, as well as the situation existing in the regions where the miners have refused to return to work. It was at this conference that the decision wss reached to bring to the attention of the governors the po sition and authority of the Federal Government In the matter, with the intimation that the basic points of the controversy?the determination of wage Increases, and hours of work ?should be left to the handling o? the Federal authorities. S?rea 1 aspro veaaeat. In reviewing the coal situation throughout the country Dr. Garfield stated that he sees signs of improve ment. In many localities small groups of miners are beginning to re turn to work, and the production of coal ie showing a slight increase daily over the latter part of last week. Gang fear and union politics is attributed by the operators' commit tees in Washington as the prime rea-" son for the continuance of the strike Many miners hesitate to return to work because of the fear that other strikers may attempt vengeance. Evidence of attempts on the part of mirre union officials or walking delegates to prolong the strike through activities contrary to the provisions of the injunction of Judge Anderson in Indianapolis are being brought to the attention of the Fuel Administration by operators and turned over to the Department of Jus tice. Dr. Garfield will confer toduy with Director General Hines for the pur pose ol taking up the matter of set tlement by the railroads with the coal companies for fuel that has been turned over for distribution since Oc tober 25. PREDia COAL STRIKE ENDED WITHIN WEEK CHICAGO. Dec. 6.? Confidence that the coal strike will end before next Saturday waa expressed here today by m? ? in touch with the big op erator? of the central competitive field. Negotiations between miners and operators?if any are being conduct ed?are strictly sub rosa. Operators and officials of the operatore' associa^ tion have refused today to comment that an attempt had been made to feel out the miners. "Strike Over Id Week." "Although I decline to be quoted on the subject." one operators' official said, "I should be willing to wager .the strike will be over within a week. The situation is so bad that none of us dare?, tell jjie truth about it for publication." This same official etated that he had been in touch today with mine owners In five state? of the Middle West. They reported, he said, that the min ers t heiuselves are suffering more severely than people in the cities from the coal shortage. II?? stated that in a number of min ing ?onmili sities t lie miner.? have ?ent committees to the owners requesting permission to mine enough coal to take care of their home needs. This was refused. Chicago faced complete shutdown of nones.sential Industries for the flrst time today. The ("omonwcalth I?II?M Company announced it would comply with the order***r>f the fuel administra tion to shut off power for industries in this class. Ulve school Coal To Poor. , In u heavy snow, Chicago "loop' workers wrestled with congestion of the "I." and surface lines today. The transportation companies cutting ?ervice in accordance with the order of the State public utilities commis sion have not yet been able to adjust themselves to the new rush hours cre ate?i by the six and one-half hour work day. With C"*?3 carloads nf coal reported to be arriving for the Chicago dis trict l)e<-einher .'! and larger ship nents for th?' past *_ir?M days which have rmt y. t been chei:ke?J, the regional fuel i'omtnlttee considered the situa tion today somewhat relieved. I BOERSIANER'S COMMENT ON BUSINESS By BOEKSIAM'H. They who are given to inductive analysis were probably disappointed over yesterday's share market. While stocks were a little better than steady, airalysts no doubt expected high-bounding buoyancy on the buses of Jenkins" release and Mr. Palmer's decision not to pr?tas the litigation against the Southern Pacific in the oil land case. The. properties directly affected? Southern Pacific, Mexican Petroleum and other petroleums of M<-xico? enjoyed, indeed, a boom, but their ac tivity and spirited advances faiiid to affect the market as a whole. In less unaccountable days the or the-time elimination of an interna tional eastis foderi and a negative action validating the ownership of 1O0.00O acres of oil lands had en :hused the stoclC'exchaiige But in the latest instance the bourse re mained quite placid. Placidity ap pears to be correct diction, in that neither Washington's favorable view of the coal strike nor the further dilapidation of foreign exchange s?em to interest the bourse, which appeared to be respiting after the liquidation, of short commitments of the last three days. Following Wednesday's mirage of retrlevement, sterling, francs and lire fell back In a desert where rational bids were as precious as pure water and offerings as numerous as the sands. Plainly, the foreign exchange mar ket was inundated with bills from literally every quarter of the globe. One of the marked depressives came from the neutral countries. For this flood there were several explanations, the most conspicuous being Ger many^ refusal to sign the peace protocol and the Bank cf England's thinning reserve to liability as was disclosed by Thursday's weekly state ment. Marketed cotton bills increas ed heavily both In New York and Chi cago. Foreign exchange departments in banks were fairly overwhelmed with them. Hay Be S (?re ad I aa*. It is more than possible that the December deliveries on mid-summer contracts with Europeans are being liquidated for whatever these will bring?a possibility that " may be spreading to other lines of commod ities and merchandise. Important contracts were made by growers and manufacturers in June. July and. Aug ust which have been delivered or are delivering. Alarmed by the incessant fall in foreign moneys, the contracts are taking what they can geL The ready liquidation has also an Inducive aspect. The rather heavy ?ops that is registered between the contract figures an? the present mar ket quotation for foreign bills is thJt much to the good of the tax payer. It Is th? same sort of registration that is now made In the stock mar ket A considerable shipment of goli to Buenos Aires and a slight lift in tho rate on bankers' acceptances by the Federal reserve banks had no ap preciable effect on the day's money market, which was relatively eaa'er for call loans and rigidly high oa long-term accommodations. The slightly higher terms named by the Federal banks on bankers' ac ceptances should make the American' acceptance council more assiduous in their campaign to have the New York Stock Exchange accept term settle ments. That?the acceptance Coun ptl's scheme- would clearly relievo the call money market; ln other words, the Stock Exchange couftJ tali bankers to go to so far as demand accommodations are concerned. It is a solution found by foreign stock brok ers long ago. There?abroad?the fortnightly settlements make the de mand money equeezer impossible; at least, he may , function fortnightly only and then practically ?overtly. ( nnnlbnlUtlr Rates. Yet while the cannibalistic call money tates of last month were ex ercised by what the American Ac ceptance Council propose, the pro posal, on the other hand, would ex pose the stock exchange to an evil worse than the one banished?hy perbolic speculation. Bi-monthly settlements would in vite an enormous increase in purely speculative accounts. Furthermore, the high standard of solvency estab lished by American stock brokers were lowered. Daily settlements fore fend many failure.?. Deferring set tlements two weeks would tempt over-extension. Chicago tried the foreign settle ments plan some twenty years ago with disastrous results.
