Unrest Among Miners, Short age of Cars and Other Fac tors Cause Serious Con dition, Say Witnesses. Washington, Aug. 26. Entering on an investigation of the increased price of coal, a senate interstate commerce subcommittee brought forth testimony that a shortage of cars and labor difficulties were hin dering coal production, that certain elements in the miners' unions were intent on nationalization of the coal mines with" adoption of a six-hour day and a five-day week plus a wage increase, and that unless prob lems of production were solved the country would be brought Face to face with a coal famine in the com ing winter. So emphatic were the witnesses that the railroads were at the bot tom of the present low production that Senator Frelingmuysen, chair man of the committee, indicated the committee's intention of bringing Direcfor General of Railroads Ilines into the hearing. Would Nationalize Mines. After detailing the effects of labor ' difficulties and alleged car shortage on coal production, Harry N. Taylor, president of the National Coal association, an organization of operators, declared a bill had been prepared for submission to congress providing for the nationalization of the mines He added that what the miners wanted was not only that the government should own the properties but that the mines should be turned over to them for opera tion. He insisted that the more radical of the miners appeared to be gaining control in certain districts and that there was a serious danger that these elements would make an earnest effort for the institution of something approaching "soviet methods" in conducting the prop erties. Fear Further Danger Fear was expressed by Mr. Taylor that at the miners' convention, Sep tember 9 in Cleveland, and at the joint conference of miners and ope rators in Buffalo, September 25, ac tion might be taken to further en danger production. He told the committee that the strikes in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri were in viola tion of the Washington agreement, which provided fof the continuous operation of the mines until peace definitely is established. The con duct of the strike in the middle west, he said, were in many cases influenced by radical elements. He said it was known generally in the industry than an attempt would be made at the Cleveland meeting to put through a nationalization pro gram, with a six-hour day. a five-day week, and an increase in wages.

Graphically told in rhythmic pan tomime, the story of the time of Attila and the Huns is presented this week as the stellar attraction at the Orpheum. It is the most dra matic offering that the Morgan bal let has ever produced. That Omaha appreciates the best that the Or pheum circuit has to offer is demon strated by the great audiences which crowd the theater at each perform ance. The music of the dance drama is descriptive of the story. It is a mass of movement and colorful expression. The first violins of a symphony orchestra do not bow with any more precision or har mony than the dancers move in de veloping the story which they viv idly portray. No dance production has ever found its way to vaude ville with quite the distinction which characterizes this act.
