SEES NO REASON
FOR INCREASE IN
PRICE OF COAL
JFederal Trades Commission
Warns Anthracite Dealers
Costs Are Known
By Ass . ialed Press
Washington. >Urch 13.—The Feder
al Trade Commission to-day notified
th® country's leading anthracite coal
producers that any failure to grant
the n3ual spring reductions cannot be
justified by claims of Increased cost
of production. The commission has
heard, the notice says, that producers
Intend either to withdraw or reduce
the regular seasonal discounts on the
ground of increased mining costs.
In Its inquiry Into the cost of min
ing anthracite, the report on which
soon will be Issued, the commission
has obtained detailed information on
the costs of companies which mined
In 1916 about 75 per cent, of the total
production of anthracite. "This in
formation," says the commission, "ob
tained directly from the records of
the companies referred to. Indicates
'no Increase in average cost in the last
four months of 1916, and further In
dicates an actual decrease of cost In
the case of some of tho companies
whose cost production Is high.
Should Grant Discount
"Judging from the tonnage produc
ed in January, 1917, there Is no rea
son to believe that costs thus far In
1917 would materially change the av
erage shown by the figures complied
from September to December, 1916.
Therefore, it is the opinion of the
commission, that further Increases In
circular prices this spring by failure
to grant the customary discounts could
not be Justified on the basis of In
creased cost.
"The commission makes this state
ment In advance of Its forthcoming
report, because it is a matter of vital
Interest to the public that no unjusti
fiable increase in price be made.
"This statement does not refer to
tho increases in circular prices of all
anthracite in May, 1916, nor to the
panio prices which have prevailed on
part of the tonnage this fall and win
ter, concerning which the commission
will make a report in the near future.
The cost data already compiled by
the commission, however, are conclus
ive against further price Increases
this spring."
WITHDRAW EXCEPTION'S

solicitor.
WHAT TO DO WHEN
HAIR GROWS THIN
Give the Hair Root Nourishment and
Stop Spread of Duldnens
Thousands of men and women are
Krowing bald every day and don't know
the reason why. This is indeed a pity
because baldness usually conies from
carelessness and anyone who gives the
hair just a little attention should have
an abundance of good healthy hair.
Dandruff and dirt help to cause bald
ness by clogging the pores in the scalp
and giving the dandruff germs fertile
ground for prolific breeding.
The treatment is very simple; remove
the dirt by shampooing and destroy
the dandruff germs by frequently ap
plying a little of the real Parisian Sage
(liquid form) a most efficient prepar
ation that the best druggists every
where are now recommending as one
of the quickest and safest treatments
to surely stop itching scalp and fall
ing hair, remove all dandruff and to
properly nourish and invigorate the
hair roots.
Parisian Sage is also the discrimin
ating woman's favorite hair dressing
because it gives her hair a softness and
luster that fascinates and compels ad
miration. A generous bottle costs but
little from H. C. Kennedy, who guar
antees it to you.—Adv.

many classic numbers. Colored light

I port of the Pennsylvania Legislature
to President Wilson in the present
crisis. The resolution, which lies over

"Whereas, The National Adminis
tration has been embarrassed and
hampered in the conduct of the for
| eign affairs of flic nation by the un
patriotic aits of certain Senators of
the United States in refusing authority
to the President to protect the lives
and property of American citizens on
high seas;
"Therefore, Be it Resolved (if the
Senate concur), by the General As
sembly of , the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, that it is the sense of
this body that the Senators and Rep
resentatives of Pennsylvania in the
Congress of the United States should
cordially and heartily support the Na
tional Administration in all efforts to
protect the lives and property of
Americans upon the high seas from
submarine attacks as now made; that
President Wilson is to be commended
for taking a firm stand against those
barbarous methods of warfare which
must necessarily cause the death of
men, women and children; and that
the manhood and resources of the
Commonwealth, of Pennsylvania sire
hereby pledged' to the National Gov
ernment to the end that the safety of
the citizens of the United States, work
ing and traveling upon the high seas,
may bo preserved and the dignity and
honor of the United States maintain
ed."

declared they were "hopeful" of mak
ing a satisfactory adjustment of ques
tions pending with tho railroads.
The brotherhood representatives
also informed President Wilson'that
if while they were negotiating with
the railroads the nation became in
volved In war. tlicy would -co-operate
to the fullest extent with the Govern
ment.
No Official Information
Neither President Wilson nor Secre
tary Wilson of the Department of
Labor, had official information nt-day
regarding the intention of tliu brother
hoods to strike unless u satisfactory
arrangement was reached at Thurs
day's conference. An investigation
was begun through governmental
agencies, however, it was stated that
there was little of a definite character
that the government could do .inul
the putcome of the meeting in New
York Thursday is known.
At the direction of President Wil
son, Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Labor will keep in close touch
with the conference In New York on
Thursday and should it fall the gov
ernment will then consider further
steps.
Government officials regarded It as
inconceivable that there should be a
nation-wide railroad strike at tills
time and while no plans have been
mapped out it was generally taken for
granted that the President will use hia
utmost efforts to prevent such a strike.
The letter of the brotherhood rep
resentatives to President Wilson tol
lows:
"We feel obligated to officially ad- |
vise you of our intention to meet again j
the National Conference Committee i
of the railways oil March 15th, for the \
purpose of making another effort toi
adjust the pending eight-hour con
troversy.
"We are very hopeful of working
out a satisfactory adjustment with the
railroads but if while we ar enegotiat
ing, our country should become in
volved in war, we want to assure you,
as chief executivo of the nation, that
we and the membership we represent,
can be relied upon to support you to
the fullest extent and that yourself i
and the nation will have our hearty !
and full support."

tioned frequently as having been pro
posed for the strike, but national offi
cials of tho brotherhoods would neith
er confirm or deny tho report. They
said tb' qeustion of the strike would
not be determined until word came
from other sectional meetings of rail
road labor men to be held in other
cities to-day and to-morrow. About
200 men were expected to attend the
meeting here to-day.
Boston. March 13. Local chair-i
men of the railroad brotherhoods said
they had received no strike orders up
to an early hour to-day and that they
had not been notified that the national
officers of the four brotherhoods weie
planning a general strike. "If any
action of this kind were proposed I
am sure that we would have heard of
it," said H. J. Pair, chairman of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen of the Boston and Maine
System.
St. Louis, March 13. Committee
chairman of the four brotherhoods of
southwestern railways met here to
[ day in .a general conference to make
[ recommendations fo rthe settlement of
| the eight-hour controversy. The
: chairmen intimated that the brother
| lioods were somewhat pessimistic over
the failure of the United States Su
preme Court to pass on tho constitu
tionality of the -Adamson act, but dis
credited reports that the session here
would recommend a strike at this
time.

j lunacy commission that Thaw was suf
fering from dementia and would get
worse as time went on.
The commission heard testimony rc
; j viewing his life from the time he was
21 years old until his l'ecent attempt
at suicide.
To Appeal to Governor .
New York. March 13. —The decision
of tho Common Pleas Court of Phila
' dclphia declaring Harry K. Thaw in
sane, which it is believed they will
frustrate attempts to bring him to this
city for trial on charges of assaulting
Frederick Gump, will not deter Dis
-1 trict Attorney Swann, it was learned
here to-day from making application
to Governor Brumbaugh for Thaw's
extradition. This step will be taken it
was said, just as soon as the district
, attorney's office has been informed
officially of the lunacy decision.
The impression that Thaw cannot
be brought to New York for trial do*;s
not agree with two decisions of tho
United States Supreme Court accord
ing to Assistant District Attorney
Black. The Porter Charlton case was
one instance, Mr. Black said, and the
other that of Drew verstls Thaw in
New Hampshire, when under a Su
preme Court ruling Thaw was extra
dited from that State under conditions
similar to the present one.
