WASHINGTON, D. C June 24.
(Special.) The coal strike, almost
forgotton by the public until the
Woody outbreaks in Illinois and
West Virginia brought It forcibly
to mind, has resulted during the 12
weeks of its life in cutting down
available stock piles to within 12,-OOO.O-OO
tons of tne danger line, .ac
cording to reports to the geological
survey and the department of com
merce. These agencies estimated
that the industries of the country
can continue operations at their
present rate for about four weeks
more, and will then have to curtail
operations to a basis of four or five
days a week, generally because of
the approaching coal shortage,
now regarded as certain.
The Oust pinch has 'been felt al
ready by manufacturers in New
Jersey, acoonding to reports to the
eanployment service of the depart
ment ol labor. In, that state, ac
cording to reports, employers al
ready have been compelled to cur
tail their operation's somewhat be
cause of th-e fuel scarcity.
Anthracite Mines Slowed Down.
Figures of the geological survey
elbow that elnce the beginning of
the coal year, April 1, anthracite
indues lhav produced only a few
thousand tons of coal. During that
period they usually mine, on the
average, about 20,000,050 tons, or
nearly one-c.ua.rter of the year's re
quirements. The anthracite mines
have only 40 weeks In, which to mine
the customary 52 weeks' supply. Go
ing at top capacity, with full work-tag-
force and a full car supply, the
geological survey figures show they
cannot perform the task because ol
physical inability.
In. the bituminous industry, non
union miners are working at a rate
never equalled before. They are
producing between, five million and
six million tons a week. Last
Wednesday, when a total of 17,000
carloads was exceeded, was the
greatest producing day ever at
tained in those fields. This week's
non-undon production, it is esti
mated, will approximate 6,600,000
tons the highest on, record. That
tonnage compares with a weekly
consumption of between 8,000,000
and 8,500,000 tons.
Purchases Are Delayed.
The situation in the bituminous
industry is remarkable, as it pre
sents a situation never paralleled by
It before. With the prospect of an
almost certain shortage, industrial
coal consumers are delaying their
purchases until the new freight
rates go into effect, July 1, and for
other reasons. There are 300,000 tons
of coal on hand now at Hampton
Roads, clogging the transportation
facilities, awaiting the day when
rates go dpwn. Then it will begin
to move to New England. In addi
tion there are 300,000 tons more on
the way to Hampton Roads.
In Alabama there is so much non
union coal on hand that the bottom
is reported to have dropped out of
the market. The interstate com
merce commission's recent order
permitting Alabama coal to travel
into the Chicago market' at a com
petitive f reight rate with West Vir
ginia coal has brought thousands of
tons of coal north, but the Birming
ham market is still overloaded. The
northwest is reported to have ob
tained about 6,000,000 tons via the
Lakes about the normal movement
thus far in the season and New
England apparently is holding off
for the lower rates, markets there
being comparatively quiet.
Transportation Is Difficatt.
Transportation difficulties have
beset the non-union fields of South
west Virginia and Eastern Ken
tucky this week, and about 1,000,
000 cars of production has been lost
therefrom. The railroads in, these
sections have been overburdened
with traffic recently. This week it
Decame a question of track capacity
. to contain the coal Sidings and
main lines became jammed, with
loaded coal cars. It was reported
here, in excess of the lines' ability
to handle them. The sltuationJiaw.
ever, is being smoothed out.
Extremely active markets were
reported in the middle west, with
buyers reported eager for good
grades with an Insufficiency of sup
ply. Geological survey estimates Placed
coal stocks at about 63,000,000 tons
of bituminous on April 1. Since
that time the stock piles have been
rediuoed at the rate of about 3,500,-
000 tons a week, the survev est!
mated, that figure representing the
difference between consumption and
non-union production.
Safety Zone Threatened,
Allowing for 10,000,000 to 15,000.-
000 tons of coal in transit Auril 1
the survey estimated that the stock
pile has been reduced to about 32,
000,000 tons, or by considerably
more than 50 per cent. Minimum of
safety stocks are placed by the bu
reau at about 20,000,000 tons.
While industrial distress has been
averted thus far, officials are some
what apprehensive for the coming
two weeks. They anticipate a gen
eral rush of orders after July 1,
when freight rates drop 10 per cent
They are prepared to assist consum
ers in buying coal; in fact, the de
partment of commerce is rendering
such assistance actively at this time
but is certain that at the present
rates of non-union production, which
is nearing the limit, there soon will
be an insufficient supply to go
round. Meantime there is little
prospect for early strike settlement.
Business generally shows little
change except for the tendency to
hesitate because of the coal situa
tion. Were it not for that factor,
progress toward greater prosperity
would be uninterrupted.

SOCIAL WORKERS URGE CON
STRUCTIVE ACTION.
Broadening of Public School
Lines to Fit Students for
Life Advocated.
The constructive or formative side
of health as exemplified in scien
tific health education, was urged for
the schools of the state yesterday by
the delegates to the annual conven
tion of hte Social Workers' Associa
tion of Oregon. The convention
closed yesterday afternoon at the
public library.
Broadening of educational lines in
the public schools so as to fit the
pupil for life rather than college,
was also advocated by many speak
ers. The public schools, the speak-,
ers said, should teach constructive
health, should encourage thrift, and
should help the pupils to establish
character and create will power.
Superintendent of Schools Grout pre
sided at the morning session.
The need for education along so
cial and physical lines was stressed
by Dr. E. P. Schaub of Northwestern
university and Dr. Edward T. De
vine of New York. Dr. Estella Pord
Warner spoke oh how to establish
and maintain high standards of
health.
Mrs. N. Guthrie, a former social
worker, dealt with health and the
home. T. G. Gary, principal at Buck
man school, spoke on the subject
"Health, a New Note in Education."
Mr. Gary has established an enviable
record at Buckman school, raising
the school to the point where it is
regarded throughout the country as
a model for health.
A. R. Gephart of the public wel
fare bureau spoke on child health
and family rehabilitation. The aft
ernoon session was held jointly with
members of the visiting nurses' as
sociation, a number of whom were
in Portland en route to Seattle to
attend the western convention of
the organization.
James E. Brockway was installed
as president of the association.

velt's statement which he had read.
He stressed- the loyalty which citi
zens of Portland owe to the educa
tional advantages here and pointed
oat that there must be no lagging
in this duty on the part of anyone.
Great Opportunity Cited.
"In this school, named in behalf
of one whose memory, and acts shai!
live as long as time endures, the
baptism of Americanism which will
never leave their souls or hearts
will be given to the children of this
community," he said. .
Pointing out the great opportu
nity which has been opened for ex
pansion and needed improvements
through the bond measure and tax
levy passed recently by the voters,
Mr. Woodward said that for eight
years the Portland schools had
lagged behind, but that that was all
history now. He likewise empha
sized the importance of the people
taking an active interest in school
affairs.
"The schools are a legacy, your
property, and are under the direc
tion of all the people," he said. "You
and all others are the partners in
this mighty task of giving to our
children an education."
Complimenting the people of St.
Johns community upon their loyalty
in school matters Mr. Woodward
recalled the magnificent act of
James John, pioneer citizen of the
community, after whom the little
city was named, whose gift was
the first substantial one to be made
to further educational progress in
Portland schools. Simon Benson
was the second donor to this cause.
Franklin High Is Copied.
The new Roosevelt school is an
exact replica of the Franklin high
school building. It was pointed out
by the school directors that the spe
cifications and plans of the Frank
lin school were used at a saving
over what new ones would have cost.
The new building will be of 24
rooms and will be built to accom
modate 1200 pupils.
Not only will the new school ab
sorb the former pupils of James
John high school in St. Johns, but
it will likewise accommodate the
surplus from Jefferson high school
and many from Lincoln high, who
will ferry across at St. Johns from
the west side of the river. The
enrollment in James John high
school this year was 400. Jefferson
high school, built to accommodate
1200 pupils, had an attendance of
more than 2000, and it is expected
that the entire building will be used
to capacity at its opening.
Side Walls Already Erected.
The side walls for the structure
which is of brick construction are
already in and every, effort will be
put forth to get the building finished
in time for' the opening day of
school, September 5. The grounds
contain 15 acres. Five acres 1 are
taken up by the school building.
The 10-acre tract adjoining the
building will be fitted up for an
athletic field representing the larg
est level recreation ground in use
by any of the Portland high schools.
The new high school building is
not located on a paved street and
an effort is being made to have the
street paved as soon as possible. The
figures at the school offices show
that there are more than 20 of
Portland's school buildings which
are not on paved streets which are
said to be a decided disadvantage
in reaching the buildings with any
kind of fire machines in case of fire.
The new Roosevelt bulding, taking
the place of the James John high
school as it does, will not increase
the number of high school buildings
in the city. There are five of the
classical high schools, the two poly
technic schools and the high school
of commerce, bringing the total
number up to eight.
Farmer Hangs Himself.
EUGENE, Or., June 24. (Special.)
A A twt To nb- ortr. Prtiavi farmnr

today by hanging himself in his
granary. He had been ill and the
members of his family said that he
had worried because he could find
no one to assist him in operating
his farm of 500 acres.
"TREASURE" ONLY STONE
Hunters for Jesuit Chest In On
tario Disappointed.
PENETANGUISHENE, Ont., June
24. The Jesuit treasure chest at
the bottom of the Wye river has
turned out to be a big flat rock
about six feet long, and the inven
tor of the gold-finding needle is in
disgrace.
Captain Bob Caron, whose dredge
moved tons of sand to reach the
spot where he haa been assured
the long-lost golden treasure lay,
put on his diving suit and descended
to locate the chest and hook chains
around it. He had been under water
about three minutes when bubbles
from his air tube increased with
such rapidity that onlookers above
thought he was under excitement
because- his search was over.
Excitedly he was hoisted to the
dredge and when his helmet was un
screwed the crowd waited with
bated breath.
"Up anchor and pull for home,"
barked the captain. "There's your
blasted treasure."" And he held up
a piece of black rock.

by republicans, who favored the
Ford offer, pointed out in reply that
they wanted action by congress on
Henry Ford's offer, and did not pro
pose to nave that postponed. By
October, they said, the house would
have had an opportunity to vote on
it. and if work was begun on the
dam meanwhile, serious complica
tions, beyond the power of congress
to adjust before final adjournment
of this session, probably would re
sult in the indefinite suspension of
action on the Detroit manufactur
er's offer.
Representative Garrett, Tennessee,
the democratic leader, appealed to
Mr. Mondell and later to Represent
ative Madden, Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee, to
bring in the bill favorably reported
by the military committee, provid
ing for the conditional acceptance
of the Ford bid. In each instance
he was informed it was impossible
to comply with his request, because
of the legislative situation in the
house, and that if the James or
Huddleston amendments carried, the
democrats would have to shoulder
responsibility for delaying construc
tion work on the dam.

"URIC
ACID"
How the
"Inner
Reveals Startling !
r acts U ver looked
By Doctors and
Scientists For Centuries
"I am eighty-three years old and I
doctored for rheumatism ever since I
came out of the army over fifty years
ago," writes J. B. Ashelman. "Like many
others, I spent money freely for so-called
cures,' and I have read about 'Uric Acid'
until I could almost taste it. 1 could
not sleep nights or walk without pain;
my hands were so sore and stiff I could
not hold a pen. But now, as if by magic,
I am again in active business and can
walk with ease or write all day with
comfort. Friends are surprised at the
change."
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr. Ashelman is only one of thousands
who suffered for years, owing to the
general belief in the old, false theory
that "Uric Acid" causes rheumatism.
This erroneous belief induced him and
legions of unfortunate men and women
to take wrong treatments. You might
Just as well attempt to put out a fire
with oil as to try and get rid of your
lheumatlsm, neuritis and like complaints
by taking treatments supposed to drive
Uric Acid out of your blood and body.
Many physicians and scientists now know
that Uric Acid never did. never can and
never will cause rheumatism; that it Is
a natural and necessary constituent of
the blood; that It is found In every new
born babe; and that without it we could
not live!
These statements may seem strange t
some folks, who have all along been tei
to believe in the old "Uric Acid" hum
bug. It took Mr. Ashelman fifty years
to find out this truth. He learned how
to get rid of the true cause of his rheu
matism, other disorders, and recover his
strength from "The Inner Mysteries."' a
remarkable book now being distributed
free by an authority who devoted over
twenty years to the scientific study' of
this particular trouble.
NOTE: If any reader of The Orego
nian wishes the book that reveals these
facts regarding the true cause and cure
of rheumatism, facts that were over
looked by doctors and scientists for cen
turies past, simply send a postcard or
letter to H. P. Clearwater, No. 210 n
street, Hallowell, Maine, and It will be
Bent by return mail without any charge
whatever. Cut out this notice lest you
forget! If not a sufferer yourself hand
this good newt to some afflicted friend.
