FEDERAL CONTROL OF GOAL CONTINUED UNTIUANUARY 1 Fuel Distributor Consents to Retain Office Until First of Year at Request of President. Washington, Nov. 24. Federal control of coal distribution must be continued until January 1. Pre Harding decided today. C. S. Spens. federal fuel distributor, called on the president to resign his office, but. after discussing the situation, lie agreed to remain in service until that date. The president, it is understood, ex pects to declare the emergency dur ing which federal control operates at an end on January 1. but consid ers that some degree of control must then be continued in force. By a series of orders issued re cently, the last of which came out today and released bituminous coal mine operators in the district west of the Mississippin from the neces sity of reporting prices. Mr. Spens has relaxed the original regulations created to insure proper distribution of the coal supply. In addition. the gradually increasing j mendous financial operations, in outDut of coal and the quantity of i eluding the sale and purchase of a store, Mr. Spens has announced, have relieved fears of a shortage, particu- larly of bituminous. Anthracite has presented a more serious problem however, in vie w of the prolonged o the strike and the shutdown, due t impossibilitv of increasing output of the mines. Federal control of fuel distribution was established September 22, under emergency legislation, and Mr. Spens was named to take charge of it. on I the understanding that he would be allowed to return to his post as vice president of the Chicago. Bur lington & Quir.cy railroad on No vember 22, if conditions warranted. UNIONS WILL PUSH ATTEMPT TO OUST ATTORNEY GENERAL Washington, Nov. 24.

BURLINGTON DE CRIES PROPOSED RE-GROUPING Says Plan to Divorce It from North ern Alliances Would Prove Almost Suicidal. The suggested dissolution of the existing combine of Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington lines and the formation of a new system that will unite the Burlington with the Denver and Rio Grand and the Western Pacific, and the Northern Pacific, leaving to anotiier combina tion the Great Northern lines, the present chief owner of the Burling ton, is of vital interest to people in Nebraska and in parts of Wyoming and other states, according to K. Flynn. general superintendent of the Nebraska division, who is just now studying the arguments advanced by Hale Holden. president of the Bur- lington before the interstate eom- merce commission. The Great Northern, in particular, Mr. Flynn states, furnishes the Bur lington with a tremendous amount of business at Billings, which busi ness is carried through the entire state of Nebraska to be distributed in the south and east and west points. In the same way a great exchange of business is carried on between the two roads at Sioux City, the Burlington line to that point having been built purposely to make the connection with the Great North ern and a direct line from Kansas City to the Twin cities. The North ern Pacific and the Great Northern together own more than ninety per cent of the Burlington stock and the suggested dissolution will break up a practical combination of systems that has been existent for more than twenty years and which had much to do with the prosperity of the Bur lington in Nebraska and the conse quent prosperity of the territory it traverses. Would Not Benefit Road Mr. Flynn believes that when the ust be : people of Nebraska sidentg suggested by the understand what change they will imake a strenuous protest to the na- tional body now considering the recommendations for combining the railroad lines of the country as con templated in the Esch-Cummins act. The combination of the Burlington with the Denver and Rio Grande will be of no benefit to the road. Mr. Flynn states, because the two roads already exchange business at Den ver and the Western Pacific is not considered an asset of any consider able value since it cost the construct ing road its solvency in the build ing. Officials of the Burlington as well as of the holding companies are fighting to have the present combi nation made permanent under the plan for combining lines. The ex change, if made, would involve tre- controlling part of the Burlington j stock and the purchase and sale of , the stock of the Milwaukee and St. ' Paul to the Great Northern. I Most of the details, it is agreed, are too intricate for the public to grasp, but Burlington officials be- ilieve that when Nebraska under- j stands what a loss will result over ! this suggested transfer of the Bur- lington, a protest in no uncertain terms will follow.

Twenty million dollars is the estimate of the American ed Cross for this fiscal year. Officers said this would be divided between the national organi zation and the active chapters on ( approximately an equal basis. Budget allotments of the national ! organization for domestic operations aggregate $6,335,795, or $4SS.015 less than similar expenditures for last vear, while the allotment for for eign operations will be $3,404,077. about $2,247,959 less than the year before. It was stated that the reduction in the cost of domestic operations represented a saving in overhead ex penses and decreased personnell thru the combining of divisional units. The foreign operations, with the ex ception of the Junior American Red Cross, were terminated last July. Relief work for disabled former service men and their dependents re mains the main obligation which the Red Cross is meeting in funds and j service. Approximately $3,000,000 ofported from sevtrai states. In Kan the domestic budget is set apart for j sag dealcrs are filing coal at $1 to juiuiei s7'";, ,rf,'7,'u'!' a";?2 under last year's price.

For service and assistance to chap ters and their branches. $1,293,000. For assistance to other organiza tions and educational institutions that train Red Cross nurses and workers, $200,000. For roll call assistance furnished to chapters, $190,000. For unforseen contingencies. $100, 000. Less than $500,000 is set aside for management of the national organi zation. The ratio of management expenses to the total expenditures last year was placed at five and two j tenths per cent, and officers said the I ratio this year probably would fall below 5 per cent.

POWERS ARRAYED AGAINST TURKEY ON THRACE CLAIM Ismet's Demand for Plebiscite West of Maritza Meets the Solid Opposition of Powers. Lausanne. Nov. 22. Turkey found the great powers of Europe arrayed against he-r today on the question of ! western Thrace, on which she de manded a plebiscite and Greece, help less and beaten by the armies of the Ottomir.an state, left a rather heated afternoon session of the Near East ern conference with the feeling that she is not so abandoned as she feared. The Turkish plenipotentiaries re turned to their hotel looking deject ed. One of them said: "They were all against us on the Thracian issue today, but it is not yet decided; we shall probably have something more to say tomorrow." The Bulgarian premier, Alexander Stamboulisky. explained Bulgaria's necessity to have an outlet to the Aegean sea at Dedeagatch, already promised by treaty. Greece has ad mitted her obligation to grant Bui- .garia poi 1 nius ji mumsniui, uui , lias explained that her war with Tur key prevented realization until now. Stamboulisky was inclined to support the idea of making western Thrace autonomous, but the trend of the allied leaderts speeches was opposed to this. While hostile to a plebiscite, the entente spokesmen favored demilitar ization of a considerable zone on the right bank of the Maritza river, which divides western from eastern Thrace, so that danger of an armed conflict between the Greeks and the Turks in the future would be les sened. The former Grecian premier, Elip therios Venizelos. was at his best in defending the interests of his coun try. He frankly admitted that Greece had made mistakes and added that she had suffered severely as a conse quence of these mistakes. The burden of Turk's arguments was that pos session of botii eastern and western Thraee was necessary to make Con stantinople safe for Turkey and pre vent incursions into Turkish terri tory. SEVERAL STATES REPORT A DROP IN THE PRICE OF COAL Expectation that Coal Operators Would Recoup Their Losses Fails to Materialize. Chicago, Nov. 22. Expectation that some coal operators would re coup their losses in the recent coal strike through increased prices, a lK-lief given wide publicity at the end of the strike when one or two op erators were quoted to that effect, has failed to materialize, according to a survey of fuel conditions based on statements of state fuel and rail- way commission officials and coal op erators in middle western states. ! The wide publicity, combined with an unusually warm autumn, discour aged buying by domestic consumers to such an extent that there has been a noticeable drop in prices in many states. This is particularly noteu in those producing areas where freight rates for short hauls are not a major factor in setting their retail prices. Typical of the general trend, ac cording to Robert Medill. state fuel administrator of Illinois, are prices at the central Illinois mines. Imme diately after the strike, the operators quoted screenings, their lowest grade coal, at $3.25 to $3.75 at the pit mouth. Last week Central Illinois screenings were offered as low as $1.50 and in spite of the reduction the miners are unable to book enuf orders to average 50 per cent pro duct ion. Similar price reductions are re- Missouri and other states report lower prices. BURLINGTON FILES SUIT (Omaha e Katllo Srr ! Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 23.

Encour aged by the recommendation of Pres ident Harding in Tuesday's message that the nation's credit systems be broadened to provide relief for the farmers, members of congress from the agricultural states, today inaugu rated steps to bring about enactment of rural credit legislation before the end of the present congress next March. Developments at the outset cen tered largely in the senate and in cluded introduction of a bill by Chairman Norris of the agricultural committee for creation of a govern ment capitalized corporation to buy and sell farm products; an address in the senate by Senator Ladd, re publican. North Dakota, warning against enactment of rural credit legislation based on the federal re serve system and a conference be tween eighteen senators from the livestock growing states and a com mittee of the American national livestock association, at which the draft of a new credit bill was dis cussed. These developments, together with statements bv leaders, indicated that the passage of rural credit legisla tion would occupy a foremost place on the program or me agricultural bloc. The senate members of the bloc will hold the first meeting of the session next week and at that time will endeavor to agree upon a program. Similar to Prior Bill The bill presented by Senator Nor ris for a farm products corporation is similar to a measure offered by the agriculture committee chairman at the last session, but which was supplanted by legislation extending the life of the war finance corpora tion and its powers in the furnishing of agricultural credit until June 30. Senator Norris would have created a corporation with a maximum capi tal subscribed by the government of $100,000,000 and a directorate of three members, the secretary of agri culture and two others appointed by the president. The corporation, in brief, would be authorized to acquire elevators and warehouses; to buy farm products in the United States, and to sell them either in this coun trv or abroad, and to operate un- chartered government tonnage in the carrying of products or tne larm. The measure was referred to Senator Norris' committee, but there were no indications that it would receive con sideration much more favorable than its predecessor. The bill presented by the national livestock association committee to the meeting of senators from the live stock states was drafter by the com mittee, in conference with war fi nance corporation officials, and is designed primarily to aid the live stock producers, although committee members argued it also would pro vide relief for farmers. Its enact ment or the passage of legislation having similar features, Fred B. Bixby, president of the association, 'h Jn.tr.rc waB nprorv to told save the livestock producers of the west. Senator Capper, republican, who nrpsirlpfl at tnp mpptin?. will tntro-i duce the bill tomorrow, and it is ex - pected to serve with other measures now pending or to De introduced as a basis for credit legislation. The bill would entail no use of fed eral funds. It would provide for the formation under federal law and under the supervision of the comp troller of the currency of agricultur al credit corporations with a mini mum capital of $250,000. to which national banks might subscribe to the agregate of not more than 10 per cent of their paid in capital and surplus. The bill contemplates utilization JJolcpranf ffcxsi2rc FOR WOMEN! Have you'seen the Wool for Ladies!

The use of federal reserve machin ery was objected to by several the senators attending the confer ence, who voiced the belief expressed earlier in the day by Senator Ladd, j in his speech that a successful farm 1 credit plan could not be entangled i with the federal reserve system. In- j dications were unmistakeable that '. any legislation to extend rural cred-j its through the federal reserve board, as is understood to be favored by . some administration officials, would be bitterly opposed in the senate.
