COAL DICTOR HAY
BE SELECTED TODAY
College President May Be
Named Coal Given Prior
ity of Shipment
Washington, Aug. 21. 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.

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.

business reasons, it is better to make
the checks out just "Willamette Chap
