U.S. TO RUN MINES AND LINES
Trade Board Says It Is Only Way to
Avert Shortage Fuel Famine
Predicted.
Washington, .Time 22. Government
pools of conl production nnd distribu
tion nnd of rail nnd water transporta
tion were recommended to congress
on Wednesday by the federal trade
commission as the only means ot
avoiding a disastrous conl shortage
next winter.
"The commission believes," snys tho
report, submitted after many months
of Investigation ordered by congress,
"thnt the coal Industry Is paralyzing
the Industries of the country and that
the coal Industry Itself Is paralyzed by
the failure of transportation. There
nre enough conl cars In tho country,
hut not enough are delivered to the
mines, nnd these cars aro not moved
to the point of consumption with the
greatest expedition, nor are they
promptly discharged."
In view of these conditions the com
mission recommends:
"1. Thnt tho production and distri
bution of coal nnd coke be conducted
through a pool In the hands of a gov
ernment agency ; thnt the producers o
various grades of fuel be paid their
full cost of production, plus a uniform
profit per ton (with duo allowance for
quality of product and efficiency ot
service) ; nnd,
"2. Thnt the trnnsporntlon ngencles
of tho United States, both roil and
water, be similarly pooled and oper
ated on government account, under tho
direction of the president, nnd that
all such means of trnnsportutlon bo
operated as a unit, the owning cor
porations being paid u just and fair
compensation which would cover nor
mal net profit, upkeep nnd better
ments." U. S. GUNNERS SINK U-BOAT

COUNTRY LOOTED OF $250,000,000
IN FIVE MONTHS.
Herbert C. Hoover Denies Intent of
Control Bill Is to Impose
Rations.
Washington, June 21. Food specu
lators have been taking $50,000,000 a
month for the last five months a total
of a quarter of a billion dollars
from the American people, Herbert C.
Hoover told senators on Tuesday, In
explaining tho purposes of the food
control bill now before congress.
Mr. Hoover outlined broudly tho
question of prospective food supplies.
"Despite the reduced consumption of
the allies they will require a larger
amount of cereals next year than ever
before. The allies ure more Isolated
In food sources. It takes three times
the tonnage and double the trouble to
get Australian wheat. Crop failures
In the Argentine give no hope of re
lief from there before next spring.
"The allies are dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
of their food Imports. We should be
able to supply 00 per cent of whnt
they require. Tho other 40 per cent
must be mnde up by further denial on
their part and saving on ours. We
can Increase our surplus. The situa
tion for them next yenr means In
creased privation. Without nn ade
quate food supply no European popu
lation will continue the light nnd wo
shall find ourselves alone against Ger
many. "The Russlnn revolution wns a food
riot and even yet thnt ally is tem
porarily paralyzed. Responsibility
rests on our government for failure of
democracy through u food shortage."
Mr. Hoover denied thnt the bill es
tablishes a food dictatorship.
A commission to tnke charge of pro
duction nnd distribution of flour,
sugar, and possibly n few other prin
cipal commodities, Mr. Hoover said, Is
contemplated.
