STEEL MILLS ARE SHORT OF COAL Fuel Becomes Pressing Prob lem; Railroads Take Most of It Kew York, Nov. 2S.—The efforts of manufacturing consumers to pro vide against the scarcity of steel that is in sight for several months of 1920 and the policy of leading pro ducers to keep from overselling and to hold prices in check continue to shape the market, says the Iron Age to-day. Coal supply has become a more pressing problem, and as long as railroads keep on taking the steel companies' coal, even that which the latter are shipping from their own mines, there is no dependence on steel output. In Illinois and Indiana four iron rolling mills have had to close down for lack of coal and others may soon reach that point. Generally the large steel companies have main tained output and there has been some further gain from the return to work of strikers. Loss of output by the steel strike is estimated at 2,500,000 to 3,000.000 tons of finished material, and the outlook for a material increase over 1 the present rate of production, with winter at hand, is not promising. That there are buyers and sellers to whom the attempt to hold the market in bounds does not appeal appears from such quotations as SSO for rerolllng billets, $65 for forging billets and $63 for wire rods. Lit tle business is done on any such basis, but premium transactions are likely to increase. Railroad buying now comes up to compete for mill space with tonnage that was on the books before the strike. The Pennsylvania Railroad has decided to buy 200,000 tons of rails and have the price adjusted later. Deliveries run over 10 months. The Buffalo mill has al ready received 12,000 tons of this total and the remainder will go to Bethlehem, Cambria, Carnegie and Illinois Steel Co. mills. The Nor folk & Western is inquiring for 26,- 000 tons of 100-lb. rails. At Chi cago pending rail business now amounts to about 300,000 tons. Jane Addams Endorses Child Labor Day Plans Now York.

She is the Lady Surma di Bitli Mar Shimun, sister of the ruling Patri arch of the Assyrians, the present day remnant of < the once powerful nomadic tribes which inhabited Me sopotamia before the incursions of the Arabs. The country whence she comes has been identified by some with the Garden of Eden. Traveling by steamer, by train and on horseback, she has come ato gether some 8,000 miles from a town 500 miles beyond Bagdad to plead, as the agent of' her people, for the restoration of lands lost by them when they took arms in behalf of the Allies against the Turks and Kurds. Driven further and further Into their mountain fastnesses by repeat ed invasions and massacres, the sur viving 22,000 of her people have been gathered together at Bakuba, where they are living under the pro tection of the British civil and mili tary authorities. "I came to England much against my will," said the Lady Surma, who "Casey" Sanla Claus to Defy the Bolsheviki New York, Nov. 28. —Santa Claus left the headquarters of the Knights of Columbus at 461 Fourth avenue yesterday on his long trip to Vladiv ostok, Russia, despite the ominious cable reports that the Bolsheviki have been waging a small war in that city the past week. The cheery old man of the Natal Day will be represented in the person of William F, Fox, a member of the board of directors of the Knights, who has been an associate of Wil liam P. Larkin, overseas director. He took a very active part in the dis tribution of some $7,000,000 worth of free chocolate, candy, cigarets, cakes, athletic equipment and other creature comforts to the men who won the victory for America against the Germans in France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Italy and the Brit ish Isles. Now Jlr. Fox is hurrying across the country to the Pacific Coast where he will embark on a steamer sailing for Vladivostok which will land him in time to play . Santa Claus to the American and Allied troops. Wild, HOR1) SUPPER Dauphin, Pa., Nov. 28.—The Sun day school class of young ladies of the Presbyterian Church, taught by Miss Bertha Sellers, "will hold a sauerkraut supper on Saturday eve>- ling, in Odd Fellows Hall. speaks English perfectly. "I have never been to Europe before. But there, was no one else to pmc, My brother, the late ruling i atriarch, was killed by Kurd treachery; my younger brother, who succeeds him, is ill and another brother is serving. The people would trust nobody else. "It may seem strange to you that a woman should be chosen for such a difficult task, but it has been the tradition of our nation that the sis ter of the heir should take the vow of celibacy and act as her brother's helper during his reign." The territory for which she is pleading with the British govern ment is the oldest known to histo rians. It lies south of the Caucasus and north of the Euphrates and is the scene of many incidents in the Old Testament story. The life of the people, who have been Christians since the days of the earliest teach ers, has been one long story of per secution, culminating in their flight over the mountains .in 1917-18. "Our villages were razed behind us," said the Lady Surma, "all our flocks have been driven away, our money stolen and exhausted, our books and documents burned. We are a people without a country." Jap Charges His Own Country Is "An Autocracy" Washington, Nov. 28. U. Masu moto, labor delegate from Japan, speaking in the International Labor Conference, characterized his gov ernment as "an autocracy which is the enemy of social justice." Mr. Masumoto was discussing a proposal providing for spectal con sideration for countries, including Japan, in which industrial develop ment has been retarded. He charged that the opposition to the applica tion of the eight-hour law in Japan was for the purpose of supporting autocracy. "Can you believe it when I say that behind this flag," Mr. Masumoto said, pointing to the colors of Ja pan, "there are several millions of toilers unjustly treated under the autocracy which is the enemy of social justice." British Workers Protest Arrests Here London, Nov. 2S.

About half the yard was cleaned and the weeds burned. See you to-night at 7:30. "HUSTING," Scribe. Pack Eight Last Monday night we intended to show the Scouts of Troop 8 how much we knew about scouting, but as Scoutmaster Jenkins was unable to get there in time, wo decided to postpone this part of the meeting until some other time, so we did not have a chance to "show off" to the big boys. We had a splendid turnout as every member of the Pack reported, and we hope the attendance will continue to be as good. When every member attends It shows the interest that is being taken. If you don't want to miss things, please at tend the meetings. Next Monday night is inspection. Every Cub should attend and try to be on time .

After a business meeting we were taught to tie the bowline knot. The rest of the evening was spent in stir ring up some of our historical knowledge. CUB BRENISHOLTZ, Scribe. Pack Two Our former scribe has "quit," so I guess it is up to me. Bob Cunkle was one of the original six who started Pack 2 and naturally we are sorry to lose him.

Nov 28. —Automobilists were warned through an order is sued by Police Marshal Carter for enforcement of the Sunday selling and work laws to supply themselves with enough gasoline to carry them over Sunday, since he regards its sale on that day as an act neither of charity nor necessity, which the laws exempt.

Jubilation reigned in some quarters when the Senate's emphatic rejection of the Treaty- H of Versailles came as a sensational climax of one of the most bitterly fought political battles . in our history. It may have been a victory, and the destroyers of the Treaty and the League of Nations "may exult in their triumph," but, retorts the Springfield Republican (Ind.) "they will go into history having constructed nothing and selfishly leaving the world to its darkness and woe.' ' Opposing this view the New York Sun declares that "there never was any thing more wrong, more ridiculous, more preposterous, than to maintain that the war was going on and must go on until the United States Senate and the American people con sented to swallow Mr. Wilson's pernicious League of Nations." In fixing the responsibility, the pro-League Rochester Times-Union (Ind.) says that "the United Staes Senate under the bankrupt leadership of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has killed the Peace Treaty," but Republican papers like the Philadelphia North American and New York Tribune lay the responsibility for the failure of the Treaty at the President's own door, in effect charging him with " infanticide." Under the heading "The Rejection of The Treaty" THE LITERARY DIGEST this week—November 29th—prints as its leading article a summary of public opinion in the United States as expressed in newspapers of all shades of opinion. The article covers every phase of the controversy over the Treaty and makes very clear how the country regards the Senate's action.
