Officials of the National Coal Op-

The United States geological sur-

production so far this year is rapidly
approaching the production at tjiis
time in 1918, a record year, when in
the face of a heavy demand, a sur-
plus was carried over.
The production this year has been
about 464,331,000 tons. At this time .

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 18.—
There is little danger of a coal short-
age In Ohio and surrounding states
this winter, coal operators and deal-
ers here agreed today. Plenty of
coal is being mined, they said, and
the only danger of a shortage lies in
the coal car movement.
Present Indications point to a fair
car supply, it was stated.
Soft coal dropped under $10.
17 Coal Stations Opened.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Seventeen
additional emergency coal stations
where fuel may be obtained in 100-
pound lots, were opened in New York
today. Health authorities believed
those additional stations would tide
sufferers over until December
rators or miners objected. A few
of the mines are reported to have
been virtually ruined by water seep-
ing in during the first days of the
strike. The government has threat-
ened to take over the mines to sup
ply its railroad needs.

"WAGES NOT REDUCED
APPRECIABLY SO FAR"
An open shop summary in this
city written by H. V. Kahle, sec-
retary of the Oklahoma Em-
ployers' association, was printed
in the New York Herald, Novem-
ber 15th. The summary claims
that all big Oklahoma cities are
100 percent open shop." The ac-
count follows:
Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Employers asso-
ciation was the first western state
organisation to declare for the
open shop. This action was taken
last February. The unionized po-
lice force and.fire department and
the mayor and other officers of
Oklahoma City and the state at-
tempted to frighten the employers
into refusing to attend the meet-
ing. Their efforts failed. The
state labor commissioner began
fighting the association Immedi-
ately after the open shop meet-
ing was called.
The city and state declared for
the open shop because of unreas-
onable demands and strikes by
employes for excessive wages and
ridiculously short hours. The
employes attempted to restrict
production after the association
declared for the open shop.
Chambers of commerce in the
principal cities indorsed the pro-
gram.
Today all our principal Indus
trial cities are virtually 100 per
cent open shop. Unions have not
won a single strike in this state.
Wages are not reduced appreci-
ably so far, but are becoming
stabilized. After a strike lasting
since October 1, the carpenters
union in Oklahoma City has just
gone hack to work on the basis
of the previous wage, although
they asked for higher wages.
Other unions are not forcing their
demands.
H. V. KAHLE,
Secretary Oklahoma Employers'
Association.
Note the sentence: "Wages are
not reduced APPRECIABLY SO
FAR-."
Note also that the report says
that the carpenters went back at
the old wage, but neglects to
state that the carpenters wo
closed shop clause, which
their principle demand.
Walton Raps Open Shop Ac-
tivity as Destructive, at
Municipal League.
A sharp argument about the po-
licemen's union and firemen's union
and the open shop fight marked the
opening session of the Oklahoma
Municipal league meeting In the city
hall Thursday morning.
"I would not like to see a police-
man join a union because of the ele-
ment of violence which always re-
i mains in the adjustment of labor
j troubles."
This statement was made by R. P.
Harrison, city manager of Musko-
gee, during a sharp discussion of
the merits of a police and firemen's
union, which marked the opening
session of the annual convention of
the Oklahoma Municipal league,
Thursday morning.
Mayor J. C. Walton introduced the
subject in a short speech, recom-
mending the union. The only dan-
ger, the mayor said, was In the

LONDON, Nov. UC—(By I . P.)
—The labor party today began
bestirring Itself In behalf of Ire-
land.
A manifesto was issued con-
demning the British administra-
tion of Irish affair*. The mani.
festo received close attention In
high government quarters. D
was remembered that the lab#
party, by threatening a genial
strike, greatly Influenced the
government's course during the
British-bolshevik -war scare"
when the red troops were in-
vading Poland and brought about
a conciliatory attitude In place
of a belligerent one.
The labor party In this mani-
festo advocated quick with-
drawal of the British forces
from Ireland. It urged a self-
determination for that country,
even If a republic should be
formed there. \ committee was
appointed to visit Ireland and
conduct "h great campaign of
public enlightenment."
No special significance was at-
tached to the fact that the labor
party made this move ut the
same time as an unofficial com-
mittee of Americans, sitting In
Washington, commenced an In-
vestigation of the Irish situating
\rthur Henderson, labor lead-
er, was appointed chairman of a
commission to Investigate the
origin and nature of reprisals.
This commission will go to Ire-
land November 23.
The laborltes received unex-
pected assistance from the
Church of England. Seventeen
bishops subscribed to a resolu-
tion urging cessation of "mili-
tary terror" in Ireland.

lng the labor elements.
"My experience, however, has been
that during several strikes we have
had in this city the policemen have
always been ready to prevent vio-
lence on both sides." the mayor said.
Denouncing the often shop move-
ment, the mayor said:
"It is very dliAastrous for any com-
munity when Its chamber of com-
merce becomes destructive. The
open shop is part of a nationwide
move to crush labor."
Harrison said; "I consider It a
great mistake that the federal gov-
ernment has allowed federal
ployes to join labor unions."
