Pig Iron Wanted in West .
Washington. Nov. 15. The priority
committee of . the council of national
defense has been asked by Congress
man Sinnott to give consideration to
the need of having sufficient pig iron
moved west to take care of the man
ufacturing wants of plants which
produce agricultural machinery, par
ticularly for harvesting.
A. P. Blewett, president of th
Blewett Harvester company of Pen
dleton, Or., has written that because
of the lack of pig iron a shortage or
production in harvesting machinery
is threatened for next season. .Mr,
Sinnott points out that because -of the
scarcity of labor in the far west there
is imperative need for ail the labor
saving machinery that can be bad at
harvest time.
Washington. Nov. 15. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL..)
Declining to take "no" for an answer.
further effort is to be made to secure
some modification of .the British edict
against the Importation of apples from
the United -Slates, a rule which also
appiipn to Canada.
K. D. Baldwin, secretary to Con
grensman Sinnott, acting for Mr. Sin
nott and the apple growers, has Just
asked the state department to continue
representations with the British an
thorltie. The last word from across
the watr, which was evidently in
tended to be final, was a note from
ArnbaHsador Page at Jondon, saying
he wa Informed by the British for
eign office that further consideration
had been given the question, but the
prohibition order cannot "at present"
be modified.
pace Too Talnable
The British trade controller stands
on the dictum that space cannot be
.found aboard ships for apples. The
apple growers and dealers stand upon
the opposite assertion that space is
available, supporting this by direct
testimony from leading steamship com
panies, such as the Cunard and White
Star lines, who say that light cargo
such arf" apples could be handled if
the handling were permitted, without
Interfering with regular cargo.
The British trade controller, how
ever, trumps every trick with the flat
assertion that cargo space is not avail
able. British importers and dealers
from all parts of England and Scot
land have held meetings and urged
that the regulations, be modified.
Oreat Ties Xs Had
Apple growers of the United States
and Canada have pleaded to be al
lowed to tise the space which they as
sert is going to waste. Dietary author
ities have supported the movement by
showing that apples are a valuable food
for a people whose choice of things to
eat is limited.
All of these representations so far
have been to no purpose. The state
department Is now being asked to try
again, in the hope that, permission for
export may yet be given for a portion
of the apple crop of the United States
and Canada before the New Year
comes. ' '

Seamen Not Laborers
Washington, Nov. 16. In the case
of the American steamship Mackinaw
the supreme court of the United
States has decided that there is n"
violation: of the -contract labor law
'in hiring Chinese at Shanghai for a.
- voy ago to Ban Francisco, and there
Shipping them on vessels of American
registry for Transpacific service.
it was alleged in the complaint
that the seamen thus shipped wero
alien laborers and that the steam
ship Mackinaw was a part of Ameri
can territory, thus violating the law
against bringing contract labor into
the country.
Justice Clarke, delivering the opin
ion of the court, declared that men
Kansas City, . Mo., Nov. 1 5., ( I. -N,
S.) That the automatic penalty
clause, which Dr. .Harry A. Garfield,
public fuel administrator, insists must
be written into the agreement reached
here by the operators and miners of
the Southwest, will be accepted was in
dicated Wednesday when the conven
tion, composed of delegates from the
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas coal fields defeated a resolu
tion to reject-the clause.
. .Dr. Garfield declared that every ef
fort will be used by the United States
Fuel "administration to increase coal
production wherever possible. He de
clared, however, that te production of
coal alone cannot solve the problem.
and that there must be the strictest
economy of all stores of coal that seri
ous shortage may not work hardships
upon the people.
Xhe war needs of the nation threat
en to outstrip the supply of coal, said
Dr. Garfield. He gave figures to show
that the munitions industry is now de
manding from 33 1-3 to 50 per cent
more coal than it has ever used before.
He gave as an example the Bethlehem
Steel company ..which has almost trip
pled, its coal consumption during the
past year. '
The United States government is
also a far greater consumer of coal
than ever before, Dr. Garfield declared.
He pointed out that statistics -show
that-the government is now using 300
per- cent more coal than it has ever
used before. This great Increase Is
brought about by the increased war ac
tivities, and Includes Auge shipments
of coal for the United States navy and
for the various military establish
ments.
Public utilities have also Increased
their demands on an average xf $3 1-3
per cent. Admitting that the situation
is now serious. Dr. Garfield was nev
ertheless optimistic and said that he
believed proper " conservation methods
would effect savings which would
