PATROLMAN AIDS WORKERS
IN RUSH TO ESCAPE FLAMES
Second Blaze Starts Two Hours
After First Loss Will Run
Into Thousands
Two spectacular Arcs, within two
hours o ench other, caused losses
amounting to thousands of dollars at
tho plant of tho General Muiiiifucturlni:
Co., Sujder avenue and Swanson street,
today.
Tho first fire, origin of whu?h is un
known, was discovered nt 10 o'clock this
morning when throo tanks in the 'till
house, n concrcto building, exploded.
Girl employes, clad in bloomers, were
imperiled. All succeeded in reaching
places of safety.
The stills, used in the manufacture of
oil products, burst Into name one after
another, making a spectacular lilue and
causing burning oil to spread in all di
rections. Patrolman Aids Girl ICinpIoyes
ratrolinau Hnsson, of the Fourth
street and Snyder avenue police station,
helped get the girl workers out of tho
plant and in warning men emplojcs.
Tho btillkottsc was n total loss. It
contained valuable machinery in addi
tion to the stills.
Two hours after the first fire stnrted,
and after it wns extinguished another
began iu building No. 14, u modern
concrete structuro belonging to the
plant, In which wero six huge vats,
filled with grease.
This fire was discovered by Patrol
man Collins, of the Fourth street and
Snvder avenue station, who sent in an
alarm. Immediately on the arrival of
the firo companies anotuer alarm was
sent in.
Two Emplojes Make Escape,
Tho second blaze was even more
spectacular than the first, though only
(wo men were iu the plant and reached
places of safety with cae.
One after another the big vats
in the building, which is two stories
high, boiled over anil ignited.
Flames ran down the sides of the vats
antl formed blazing puddles among
which the firemen wero forced to work.
Kneh vat sent up a cloud of '"dense,
yellow smokev
Before tho sixth, vat was touched by
thn flames a portion of the wall fell
and isolated it from the lest of the fire.
Immediately preceding the igniting of
ono of tho vats, which boiled over rap
idly, Captain Shilling and eleven men
of truck company No. 11 passed. They
escaped being caught by inches.
On the roof of a shed a dozen firemen
bad one of the most desperate purts to
play in the fight against the llames.
A strong westerly wind blew flames aud
srnoko from the burning vats in their
direction, imperiling them time and
again. Again and again they were
beaten back, refusing to leave the shed
for u suro place of safety, and finally
managed to hold on until their work
was done.
No estimate of damage done by both
fires was possible this afternoon, ac
cording to men connected with the
plaut. However, the damages arc
unusually heavy und will reach a high
' total.
VIOLENT DECLINE
.HITS STOCK MARKET
Successive Waves of Heavy
Liquidation Cause Rapid Melt
ing of Security Value
New Torlf, Nor. 10. -ITeavy liquida
tion of a more sweeping character than
has bcnsecn sinco the curbing of the
rccedt reckless speculation caused vio
lent declines in today's Btock market.
Thero were a succession of selling
waves during tho dayjvhjch carried tho
highly speculative fclooks down from 5
to over 25 points, while the more sea
soned issues were depressed from 2 to
4 points.
Tho violence of the .declines suggested
a great deal of enforced liquidation by
reason, of further drastic steps taken
by the banking interests to orrcct the
dangerously inflated credit situation.
Nervousness over the money situation
was aggravated by a further collapse
of exchange on London and continental
Europe, alto by tho rcnorts that tho
Federal Reserve Board sitting In Wash
ington may recommend additional re
strictive measures to curb speculation
not only in securities, but also iu com
modities, real estate, etc.
Tho downward movement was given
further Impetus nround midday by tlje
establishment of the 12 per cent for call
money. This apparently provoked con
siderable liquidation of marginal ac
counts from interior points and also
a great deal of selling by pools and
cliques who found it Imperative to cut
down their commitments.
One of tho weakest pcridtbr occurred
nround midday, when the selling move
ment attained a semihystcrical char
acter. There cemed to be little dis
crimination in tho selling, as stocks of
alt cajlber were hromlscuously sold.

IN DEMANDS -THAT

Public Necessity Will Be Satis

Garfield Declares
ASSERTS HE WILL GUARD .
AGAINST EXCESSIVE PRICE!
Scale Committees Co Into Ex-
ecutive'Session to Negotiate
Wage Contract
By the Associated Press
Washington, Nov. lfl. - Speaking
with the authority of President Wil
son's cabinet, Fuel Administrator Gar
field told representatives of the bitumi
nous coal operators and miners here
today that "the people of the 1'nlted
States need, must have and will have
coal," and ns long as the government
stands they will not be prevented from
getting it by "anything the operators
or miltois may do."
Doctor Garfield explained that his
purpose was to furnish the conference
with the data which be would use in
determining what wage advances, if
any, agreed to by the operators aud
miners could be borne properly by the
public,
After Doctor Garfield had completed
his talk, In which lie urged the neces
sity of adjusting the dillerences which
caused the nation-wide strike, scale
committees of the miners and operators
iu the central competitive field went into
session to negotiate 11 new wage scale.
They decided to continue their nego
tiations through a subconunlttie of right
f 1 0111 each side.
Fighls Kxcesslve Prices
"I leprcsent the people of the United
States in a ditfeient sense from the
secretary of labor," Doctor Gni field
said. "It is part of Sir. Wilson's func
tion to effect oiWiliutloii. It is my sole
function to exercise those powers con
ferred on the fuel udminlstrAtlou ; to
see that an adequate supply of colli is
furnished the people of the United
Stutes, and to see that In times of stress
such as we are still imhiipilj iu the
inielst of, the prices nsl.ee I and icccived
for coal are not excessive.
"We nil icalize now that in the great
coal industry the piiblle1 is an impnrtuut
partner. At one time the operators nnd
mine workers like farmers, considered
themselves peculiarly independent. But
the imblii lias 11 pnininoiint interest.
"The people of the United States will
not consent to pay an excessive price
for e-iinl. We 111 0 all agreed to that
but the question now is, 'What is an
excessive price V' Nor will the public
agree to go without this commodity.
People .Must Have Coal
"The' people of the United States
uecel, must have and will have coal ami
they will not lie pieveuted by unytbiug
the" operators and miners may do iiniess
the government is dissolved iuto u chao
tic e-onditiein The people of tile United
State's aie willing to pay sufficient to
maintain Anieiican standards but the
question is; What are American stand
outs? The people want the operators
to have a just return, but what is a
just return?"
Doctor Gai field said he was not yet
prepaied to s.iy w lint changes could rea
sonably lie niaile iu the pi ice of coal us
all the" necessary ilutii was not in hand.
One of the items not yet determined,
lie said, w.is that of the fcelerul incouiey
tuxes for Ibis, which the operators have
claimed should be included in (lie cost
of operation. The government has dis
lillted tills.
Doctor Garfield expressed regret that,
the operators anil miners had not es
tablished a permanent body to adju
dicate their elisputcs. Larking that, lie
said, the question revolted around the
cost of production. v
Owners Got $.10,000,00(1 In 11)18
During 11MR. he said, .SI, 300,000,
OfK) was paid for bituminous coal, tho
average price being $2,151 a ton. The
irodiietinn cost was S2 1" a ton, the
miners resolving $"."0,(100,000, or an
average of SI fiO a ton. A total of
S230.000.000 went to the mine owners,
but Doctor Garfield said this was not
oil profit, as feelernl Income and ex
cess profits t.ix huil to be deducted.
"In 1017," Doi'tor Gnrfield said,
"the tuxes amounted to thirty cents 11
ton average over the whole country ,
but it is ilifncult to estimate for 101S.
The taxes iu 1018, however, to come
out of the margins are somewhat less,
I believe, tliais ill 1017, but I will con
tlnue m.v Investigation to determine
them nccurntely."
"lln jou think the mine workers
slfdulel give consideration to the opera
tors because they have to nay taxes?
nsked John L. Lewis, preslelent of tho
United Mine Workers of America.
"The question Is whether the con
sumer should pay enough to cover the
excess profits tax and at the same time
civ e the operators their normal profit,
too." replied Doctor Gurlield.
"If the1 federal government took nil
the profits, by taxation, even that cir
cumstance should not prevent the
miners from asking reasonable in
creases," said I-vvis.
I.ever Art Guarantees Profit
"Well, we must bear in mind that
the Lever act guarantees 11 reasonable
profit on the production of fuel," rn-

Washington, Nov, ID. The House
of Representatives has made its rei'
ord. The majority is about to point
with pride. The minority N about to
view with alarm. The work Is done,
cxeepli-the little detail of getting mile
age, which no one gilidges the states-'
men, and which has not yet been nr
langeel. The session is virtually, over,
for If an adjournment bringing mileage
cannot be arranged with the Senate a
reevss will be taken.
It has been n "do-nothing" session.
Yet a lot of bills have been passed.
Tho latest and most Important was the
Ksch railway bill, providing for the re
turn of tho railways to private owner
ship, which went through Monday. It
was rushed through for tho sake of the.
record. The House laid It on tho door
step of the Sennte, and it is ready to
depart. That was typical.
We have a government in Washington
that, in fact, does not correspond to
its form. Under the constitution the

noon toehiv. formally presented the re-
! oluticiii of ratification containing the iif-
j teeu reservations adopted by a major-
j ity of the Senate. i
Senator Loeltre asked unanimous con
sent for an immediate vote on Uiufuul'
ificd ratllicatlon. -Ulihinistratiou ,ljfail
er Hitchcock said the Democrats pre
ferred to wait until the Lodge resolun
tlmi had been voted on. Seuu tor. Lodge
then withdrew his request and the de

It wns understood that tin Repub
licans had manifested n willingness to
insert 11 proviso by which the rseerva
tious coli Id be accepted by the other
powers by their merely "not objecting
to" tliem.
Outlook Is Uncertain
Uepublicun leaders said they would
endeavor lo prevent consideration cf any
substitute resolutions from the minor

of the first vote on the Lodge resolu

eration the minority resolution would
be pii'sentcd without modification nnd
Republican spokesmen insisted that
should it be defeated on the second pud
final vole they would consider it a de

eight Democrats had agreed to vote
against the majority resolution und that
in the Democratic conference' today a
number of Democrats advised Mr.
1 Hitchcock they would not vote against

1 The decision of Democratic friends of
j the trculy to vote against the Lodge
I it solution was affirmed lit n eouference
1 of Demociuts, after a letter from Presi
dent Wilson urging defeat of the Lodgo
resolution hud been read.
Immeeliutelv the Prcsielent's letter
became nubile. Republican Leader
Lodge declared he did not believe the.
Senate would "obey the orders" of the

niiiuel tin- Senate to ratify the treaty
without the reservations which Arners
ionnre it and made it safe for the
I lilted States." y
Wilson Advices Democrats !
The Pipstdeera, letter, addressed to
Senator lIItclicocN unej
and dated yester-
day , follow s :
My eceir Senator: .
You were good enough to brtng mis
word that the Democratic senators)
supporting the treuty expected to bold
a conference before the linul voto on
the Lodge resolution of ratification,
and that they would be glad to re-'
celvi' n worel of counsel from me.
1 should hesitate to offer it in any
detail, but I assume that the sena
tors only desire my judgmeut tipoa
the' till important question of the final
vote 011 the resolution containing the1
many 1 enervations of Senator Lodge.
On tlinl I I'liunot hesitate for jn vat
opinion the lcsolutlon in that forraf
cites not provide for ratification, but
rather for tho nullification of the
treaty.
I sincerely hope thnt the friends
and supporters of the treaty will vote
against the Lodge resolution of rati
lication. I understand that the door will
probably then be open for nuin
resolution of ratification t
I trust that all truo G3SSsiA'i. yA
treaty will refuse to support" Wiu
Lodge resolution.
Cordially and sincerely Tours. '
