Announce ment of a coal controller of the Unit ed States is expected today. There is talk that President Garfield, Williams College, recently named chairman of the new wheat price fixing board, was the man the president has asked to as sume the work. Garfield knows the coal situation thoroughly, from long ex perience as attorney tor coal operators and coal carrying railroads in Ohio. Robert S. Lovett's order directing certain rail and lake steamship lines to give priority to coal shipments to the northwest, went into effect today. Jt is the first time in the country's history that government control of railroads, in part, has been undertaken on so largo a scale. The order was par ticularly aimed at Great Lakes boat owners, who have refused to accept coal at Jower lake ports for the north west in order to keep their vessels ex clusively in the more profitable iron ore trade. The ships In many cases went back to port light in order not to lose time by loading coal. This caus ed the shortage in the northwest, de spite the fact that the fifteen lake rail roads carried eleven per eent more bi tuminous coal the last month than dur ing July 1916, according to the rail road war board. When the coal dictator is named he will proceed to requisition all coal and oke for the government and sell it at cost to the consumers or he will su pervise the industry, allowing it to con tinue in its present hands. The fedeTal trade commission, Lov ett the railroad war board, the inter state commerce commission and the ex port license council, all will cooperate with the coal dictator. Announcement of . government prices for steel and copper is imminent. who are not provided with cards from the organization.

'& COMPANY SAFETY OF EUROPE DEPENDSON AMERICA Prices Will Soar Because Value of Products Is Great er Than the Price Washington, Aug. 21. Europe faces the "grim spectre of starvation," un less America brings relief, Herbert Hoover warned today. In the "food administration bul letin," today he says safety for Europe rests in what this country saves from her abundance and waste. In addition to the wheat shortage and the threatened meat famine al ready announced by Hoover, the bul letin today says: "The world's dairy supplies are decreasing rapidly." Swine "'most efficient machine for production of animal fat," are dwindling fast in Europe while con sumption demand grows. The sugar supply, he says, "has been tremendously reduced," and "there must be economy in consumption every where." He urges the American people to eat fish and vegetables of which there is a great abundance. He promises no reduction in prices. "We are today in an era of high prices," he says. "We must maintain prices at such a level as will stimulate production for we are faced by a starving world and the value of the commodity to the hungry is greater than its price." But, he adds, "the reverberations of Europe's increasing shortage would havfc thundered twice as loudly during the coming year and it can now only be mitigated if we can exert a strong control and this in many directions.
