Bptctil DitpattK o Tns Sow. Washington, Dec,. 5 Tha Cabinet discussed tho coal situation tpiday and. tits American Wholosale Coal' Associa- tion, through Its secretary, asserted, that inlnes now In operation tylll bs. clowd;un!es3 tile IUUroad Admlnlstro-- i tlon helps 1p pet payrolls by paylnjf it bills ThVoutsundW development was tho UrnTsni of \both Fuel Admin- -' iteration officials and operator over the steadily' Increasing: production of coal. Coafproductlon lias been on' the up- ward firtulo for threo days, It waa said, and td'day.waf close to 45 per cent, normal, if,,thefa Is no relapw from this proereiathe crisis may be regarded! as having pissed.' No Intimation come from the Cabinet' meeting of what had been done. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, the Fuel Admin- istrator, and Walker D. Ulnes, Director-Gener- al of the Railroad Administration, explained the situation to the Cabinet. 7he threat that .oro mines would bo forced to ciose was made by Qcorgo S. Cushlne, secretary of the American Wholesale Coal Association. To it he Joined charges that tho Itailroad Admin-ratio- n Is using Its coal distributing \powers for, tye primary benefit of the railroads. He asserted that tho commit- -' tea in charge of distribution has been jOvercome by the magnitude of its pro- blem and Its Incompetence has added Ittrpmendously to the difficulties of essen. jUinl Industries In obtaining a supply 'Bulflclent to keep plants In operation. jj Coa Operators' Charges. The statement of Mr. Cushlng follows:, W \The1 cold facts about coal are that IWIstrlbutlon Is in the hands of a which has .become, paslo stricken vuoauss u no3 not taicen ui irouoie lo fat the facts and to act upon them \Tho facts are that there are being aid on cars, by the railroads at least 0.000,000 tons of coal and probably !5,COO,000 tons. These cars are standing rauroaa sidings awaiting Disposition y the Central Coal Coimultleo. ThU mmittcfl will not allow this coal to. go Beonla trha used It aorelv hacausa thfl Tallroads fear they may have some usj j.or it inemseivcs as rauroaa ruoi. \There Is no danger that current pro- duction will not fully satisfy the rall-roa- d demand because present production elves a surplus of at least 1,000,000 tons 'ft week above current railroad consump- tion, and the output is growing from tAyeek to week. That is, the railroads tiise weekly about 3,000,000 tons of coal. \The nresent production nYcr falls be- low E, 000,000 tons a. week. This leaver (S.000.00O tons a week over and above X0O per cent supply for the railroads, jf \Of this surplus the disposition fp l '1,000, 000 tons a week to tho household trj 'would give them a 100 per cent, supply ijvhen there is taken Into account the flmount they already havo In storage. Shis leaves for public utilities and fac- tories a supply of 1,000,000 tons a week, plus whatever amount the weekly output of coal exceeds the 5,000,000 tons hereto- fore referred to. Wagon Mines Will neopen. \On December I tho Fuel Admintsrra-- . 'tton allowed the wagon mines ;to add their cartage charge to their fmne price. This will put in operation .all of the 15,000 wagon mines In the country. From these mines we have Reason to expect at least 7B0.000 tons of coal n week. All of this will go to the factories. \Also nil of the slack coal or screenings .Which has been plied up at the mines awaiting buyers Is now beginning to ba 'loaded out of the mines. This will add eomo few thousand tons a week to tho rsupply available to factories. \With thcM facts before us there Is no reason or excuse for the railroads to 'rioJd a single car of coal out of distr- ibution. They know what their own 'nepds are. They know what the current 'production Is. The coal which has boen ijheld through R policy of fear should 1 nave been released two weeks ago. ' 'The Railroad Administration Is at fji'restnt, however, endangering not only ithe supply of tho public but its own supply because It has refused to pay for coal which has been diverted to It. In some cases coal has been held by it for sixty days without the payment of a cent of rnonoy. In all cases the Rail- road Administration has not paid a :penny of money to the coal Industry for thirty days. The money which the coal mines had has been spent on payrolls. All tho money they have been able to 'borrow from the banks has gone the .flame way. AU the money which the .mines have been nble to borrow from i the wholesalers has gono the same way. \The result Is that tho working capital of the mines has become exhausted. It cannot be replenished unless the rall-- , Toads allow this 22,000.000 tons of coal io move to some consignee whose bills then and not until then be- - 'ebme duo ana payawe ana unm uu ra- - roads pay for the coal which they them- selves have used. Without this monej ,the mines cannot meet their payrolls, .nd, of course, cannot run. i, t Sees Danger Ahead. In Mines. \I say It deliberately, because It Is .true, that unless this! money Is forth-'coml- Inside the next week a great ma- jority of the mines which now are pro- ducing the only coal available' to the people will be forced to shut down. ' \This situation Is fully realised by the 'Kallroad Administration and by the Cen-'tr- al Coal Committee. However, they re- fuse to act unless all coal men consent to bill out their coal to the railroads at 'iB, price which Is satisfactory to the Rail-?a- d Administration. And It refuses f say what price It will consent to pay. r 'Thore has been no more dangerous 'action by any governmental body in fifty Jweara.M Tho executive committee of the bitu- - tnlnous coal operators made a statement 'denying reports from Chicago' that the (Operators of the central competitive field Vera considering a 25 per cent, wago Advance to the miners and an advance to consumers of about 30 cents a ton. The committee asserted that the opcr &tors will stand on Its acceptance of the 'tSfage advance of 14 per cent .prescribed T !fey tho Fuel Administrator and Will j. 'The circulation of such rumors only ..tends to complicate' an already tense ,sUuatlon,\ the commutes said, \and to Embarrass the Government and the coal 'operators In their efforts to solve a problem. The coal miners should fnot be deceived by such false rumors ,of these rumors have been put out )ytne miners' oQctals for the purpose Kl) jaffl of encouraging their mn to continue the strike. There wilt bo no further offer to the miners. The final word has been eald.\ Operator Welcome Inquiry, Despatches from Indianapolis that t United States Grand Jury will Investi- gate ah alleged conspiracy on the part of the operators in violation of the Lever act caused the operators to send it telegram to United Btates Attorney Blmms at Indianapolis with the follow- ing paragraph! \Operators welcome drand Jury In- vestigation of the charges that they are In a conspiracy with tho miners.

Five mines went to work loading coal, a gain of two, and It Is believed that nlno mines are at work In all. The mines are scattered over a, wide territory and telephono communication is slow. In many cases new telephones have not yet been installed.. The Patton'mlne, which opened this morning, sent Its first pit car of coal to tho tipple at 8:15 o'clock and the volunteers gave threo cheers as tho pit car was dumped and tho coal routed down Into the freight car waiting below to receive Its load. The Fleming No. 8. In the southern district, nlso reported that It was under way. Fleming No. S Is one of the big mlnos of the field which was put out or commission ,by water and broken machin- ery. The opening of this mine Is one of the encouraging signs of progress that Is being made now with the more perfect organization that has been made 'or the general supervision of the work. Troops and workers were sent y to four other mines, the D. R. & II., Ooolvnle, Menghml and Constantino. The last two really constitute one mine. Tils will Increase the number of mines to sixteen, all of which, it is expected, 'will be running full blast by Monday, morning. At the Wilson mine the volunteers at Carbon No. 3 went into the mine to-d- with the Intention of beating their rec- - ord of yesterday,-wlun-i- y loaded three- - cars of coat Five care a day is the capacity dr tho mine.

FARMERS BURN CORN AT $1.50 A BUSHEL Nebraskann With Money Can not Buy Any Fuel. Sptctal DeipatcA to Tan Sox. Omaha, Dec. 5. Corn worth $1.50 a bushel Is being burned for fuel on Nebraska farms for the first time since the dark days of 1894 and 1896, when farmers burned corn because they did not have the money with which to purchase coal. At that Ime corn was filing at from three cents to' seven .cents a bushel and farmers found It cheaper to burn the grain than to haul it to town and haul back the coal. Reports from a number of towns say farmers unable, to get coal despite the fact that they have fat bank accounts had to fall bad: on their corn bins for fuel. GOVERNOR EXPECTS OHIO MINERS TO GO IN Both Sides Likely to Agree to 25 Per Cent. Increase. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 5. Efforts of uov. cox through conferences y with operators and officials of the miners' union to reopen the mines In Ohio were declared by the Governor to hold encouraging prospects this evenlnr, when all negotiations were postponed until 11 o'clock Monday morning.

Cox enter tains hone of having all the mines opened Immediately, but that at least some of the largor ones will resume. He Is confident that others would resume also after a short period.
