Washington, Jan. 17. The complete
Collapse df the administration's coal
program is indicated in the facts that
are coining out regarding coal prices
since the, settlement of the strike
The administration's policy was that
the temporary increase of 14 per cent
iti wages granted to the miners would
be absorbed by the operators and the
price of coal to the public should not
be advanced The administration in
sisted that it had won a victory and
operators had yielded on all points.
Evidence is before the interstate com
merce committee of the Senate that W
per cent of the consumers of soft coal
in the country are being explicitly billed
for the 14 per cent iu the cost of wages.
The subcommittee, of which Senator
Fxelinghuyeen is chairman, will shortly
begin an Investigation of this subject.
The House is likely to appoint a spe
cial committee iu a few dajs ou the
subject.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the interstate commerco com
mittee in complaints from the Public
Service Corporation of New .Tcrse and
other public service corporations at
Buffalo. New "lork and in wc-jtem
cities. These corporations ar" receiving
bills from the coal operators charging
them expresslv the old price for coal
plus 14 per e"ut additional cost of
wages. This is done under express
terms of the contracts under which soft
coal is 'sold to all the big users of
coal. These contracts provide that
the purchasers bhall nu for ans addi

Washington, Jnn. 17. Another cou
ference of Senate leaders seeking a
compromibe on reservations to the
peace treaty was held today, but Sen
ators Lodge and Hitchcock, heading the
Republican and Democratic representa
tives, respectively, said no agreement
was reached.
Onlj minor features of (he dispute
were considered todaj, the vital issues,
including Article X of the league of
nations covenant, being left for future
discussion.
The negotiations, according to the
leaders, revolve about the so-called
Lodge reservations.
Republicans say there has been no
decision nor disposition to back down
on the Article X reservation, and that it
never will be modified as to principle.
Whatever else may bo suggested, the
Democrats hae no iutention of accept
ing the Article X reservation as it is.

By Ihe Associated Press
Hango, Finland, Jan. 17. United
States army transport Buford, having
on board 249 radicals deported from
America, arrived here at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Finnish pilots could
not dock tie vessel and a German
pilot was summoned.
Alexander Bertmnu and Emma
Goldman, leaders of the dcoortces,
have declared they will not remain iu
Rucsia, but will "return to America
to save it."
The Reds on board the "soviet ark"
will be taken to the Russian frontier
by United States labor bureau and
immigration officials
After the Buford had been docked,
Rcrkmau and Miss Goldman led a pro
cession of radicals down the gangplank,
a large number of persons assembled on
the wharf, gazing curiously at the land
ing. The radicals made up a motley
throng, their faces bping full of curi
osity as to what their future wight
be, while there were traces of anxiety
lest they might be attacked after they
had left the protection of their Ameri
can guardiaus. Finnish authorities
will look after the safety of the de
portees. After they had landed, Berkman and
Miss Goldman talked willingly with
newspaper men. Asked to give her
opinion of her deportation, the latter
replied : "
It was melodrama to keep it secret."
"It was unfair and stupid," inter
jected Barkman. "l'ou can't kill an
idea like that. The Czar tried and
failed. He is dead and forgotten,"
Still Claims Citizenship
"Do you want to overthrow the
American government?" Miss Goldman
was asked.
"You need a new government," she
answered, "and I hope the election will
provide it."
It is Her intention to return to
America as soon as possible. She as
serts she became an American citizen

Kersner at Rochester. N. x , in 18s i
and declared the court decree issued in
1009 canceling Kersner's certificate of
naturalization was illegal. Miss Gold
man was divorced fron Kersner in 1SS0
but she claims this did not alter her
status as a citizen of the United States.
"As Nietzsche said: "The test of love
is the power of endurance,' she con
tinued, "that is what will be my lot
until I return to America. I will not
forsake Americans."
Asked what her plans were, Miss
Goldman said :
"I shall not impose my advice upon
the Russian government, but shall le

hold my deportation was an injustice.
Wc were not givcu a chance to prepare
for it."
To Organize "Friends of America"
Berkman is under contract to write
for an American monthly publication u

prison wardens, among them Thomas
Mott Osborne. He will also write u
number of Russian sketches, be said.
Asked if th Reds woulc labor or
would confine - activities to poli

participate in political matters. " He
declared he would form a "league of
Russian friends of America, the efforts
of which would reciprocate those of the
American friends of Russia. Of the
latter organization he said :

"The honor, dignity mid stundlni: of

Pollock.
"Of course, if it should be determined

Is true it must not be said in our

Asco blend enjoys the distinction of being used on more
breakfast tables in the homes of Philadelphia, and throughout
the four states where our stores are located, than any other.
Our own big coffee-roasting plants
turn out tens of thousands of pounds
daily millions of pounds in the
course of a year, and every pound
sold at retail.
Could there be any more forceful argument produced as lo
its satisfying goodness.
.Its rich, smooth, delightful flavor and pleasing aroma,
coupled with its full, heavy body, are good .reasons why it is the
almost universal Coffee.
