WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. With less
thn 40 nr rent of the normal output
of bituminous - coal being produced.
the nation is fa-inj? its most serious
ueriod ifire th strike of soft coal
minors was ordrd, according to re
I torts rer ei ved today by the railroad
administration. In scores of cities the
numbfr of in dust ries in operation
rapidly falling.
Officials held out only a ray of hope
for increased product ion. While last
week's production showed an increase
over the previous week and indica-
tions were for a production of about
, SO per cent of normal this week, of
ficials said they could not expect suf
f icient production to chock the rira in
on the national supply until all dif
Or em-fa between the miners and
operators are ironed out by the con
ference here.
Meanwhile temperatures in the
northern half of thc nation have
dropped and the cry for coal for
household purposes prows louder. So
far tiie supplies have been dealt out
rather liberally, it was said, hut fur
ther releases of coal must he limited
if the nation is not to face a serious
tie-up of industry, as well as trans-
pcrtaiion, before normal production is
reached. 1
Miners Rank Hold. Firm.
RanUs of the soft coal miners-, while
showing some losses in men returning
to work, still hold firm.
Reviewing: the coal supply situa
tion, the ra ilroad administration re
ported that li'J.OOO.Ouu tons were held
under its distributing system on No
vember 2, the second day of the strike.
Since then these stocks, together with
current prodJction, have been drawn
on to supply fuel for the railroads,
ships, public utilities, essential indus
tries and public welfare institutions,
as well as for household uses.
The railroad administration's cen
tral coal committee still is holding
thousands of cars of export coal as
sembled at Atlantic tidewater ports.
Officials declared that, contrary to
report, conditions were normal at the
ports and that no car congestion is
permitted.
Slight Increase Reported.
The railroad administration's state
ment said:
"In the first week of the strike
the average number of cars of bitu
ntinous coal loaded daily was U30o, or
2t per cent of the pre-strike average;
in the second week loading was at
the rate of 10.C0S cars, or 3u per cent
of the normal rate.
Last week, the third of the strike,
production steadily increased and
reached nearly 4u per cent of normal.
The present week promises so far
still better showing.
"Production now is mainly in the
east, in the south end in the Rocky
Mountain region. In the central
states, w hose bituminous coal is " so
largely used, there is little or no
present output. The railroads have
the difficult and unusual task of mov
ing west a larne part of the produc
tion of such fields as the Pocahontas
and Pennsylvania fields that normal
ly moves east. The 22.000,000 tons
the railroads had on November 1 was
as evenly divided as possible over
the country, but in the sections where
there had been no production, sup
plies have become depleted and coal
from the eastern producing fields has
been and is being sent west to fill
these needs

Reynolds, superior judge of tius

of Ralph S. "Pierce of Tacoma for a

Judge Abel was hearing another case

the choice of one other judge before
whom the issue may be heard.
Aside from the I. W. W. cases the

his decision said:
'It must be borne in mind that th
evidence in the case was entirely ci
cumstantial. In view of the testimony,
there was practically no motive shown
for the commission of the deed, there
no evidence to show that Clark
laid in wait for Taylor, or that Clark
fired a signal to attract the attention
of Taylor.
'There is no evidence that Clark
purposely and maliciously fired the
shot, if he did fire it. Before this de
fendant can be convicted of murder
in the second degree, the state must
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
Clark purposely and maliciously killed

But the state has yet failed to point

"Substantial justice will be done by
granting the defendant a new trial.
If he committed the crime maliciously
and purposely, life imprisonment in
the penitentiary is none too severe.
If the defendant Clark killed Taylor,

ought not to suffer the extreme pen
