10 Miners May Receive Twice 14 Per Cent. Boost Owner Warns Senators Washington, Dec. 17. —The Senate Coal Investigating Committee, re suming its Inquiry into the admin istration strike settlement agree ment. was told by Tracy W. Guthrie, president of the Hillman Coal and Coke Company, that one clause in the reposition advanced by Presi dent Wilson and accepted by the miners, would ''bring about an in crease in the miners' wages at least doubling the fourteen per cent, which Dr. Harry A. Garileld, resign ed Fuel Administrator, thought jus tified." While the Senate committee was pursuing its inquiry, the Railroad Administration withdrew the last semblances of the restrictions on fuel resulting from the strike and began delivering coal to original consignees instead of distributing it to points of greatest need. It re scinded the embargo on the move ment of fuel oil out of the west, and the orders reducing the amount of coal pernTltted to go to coko ovens.

Dec. 17.—The great -1 est political convention ever held in this country—that is a fact assured with respect to the Republican con vention at Chicago the Bth of June. While it has long been plain that i the convention would be one of ex ceptional magnitude it has become more clear than ever that this will be the case since the national com mittee at its recent meeting at Wash ington, where the time and place were fixed, discussed in a general way the plans for it. With the announcement of the | time and place, demands for seat i ing have already begun to flow in to j the convention committee, headed jby National Committeeman A. T. I Hert of Kentucky. | Not only is there nation-wide in i terest stirred among Republicans but j the fact the women are to ha\'e so [ prominent a part in the campaign ; this year will tend to bring about a large attendance of women at the ! Chicago convention. National Chairman Hays said ! there was no doubt the forthcoming | convention would be the greatest J one ever held in this country. | Mr. Hert expressed the same opin ; ion. Mr. Hert said that he had ! never before in his political life had ! such a great early demand for con ' vention tickets. ! The convention committee will be called together soon by Mr. Hert and | it will begin active planning for the j convention.

In his appeal for assistance, Mayor Reumann said: "Vienna, a city of 2,000,000, is on the eve of starvation and death from cold. The inland crop is eaten up. The production of coal scarce ' ly covers one-tenth of the require ! ments. Hands are idle and factories | arc at a standstill. Simultaneously, j Austrian money has lost all pur j chasing power abroad. The bread ; and flour ration has had to b e re j duced again and the meat ration of i one-tiftli of a pound per week can- I . ot be distributed these last months. N > milk can be supplied to the I children and the sick. | "All forests in the neighborhood | of Vienna are cut down, but the wet green wood does not replace I coal. In the hospitals new-born babies are dying of the cold. Up to : now the people of Vienna have I borne all this misery with wonder | ful patience. What threatens them I now is beyond human endurance."

For years rubber manufacturers have been ex perimenting to develop such a compound. It is this "grain" in rubber —similar to the grain in lumber—that is largely responsible for the split ting and cracking of solid tires. Rubber with a grain naturally splits or pulls apart along the lines of the grain when subjected to heavy load strain and road impact. The new rubber compound zvithout grain elim inates entirely any tendency to split, because it does away with the points where splitting starts. It has no weak spots. A solid tire made of grainless rubber compound has none of the tread detects of the ordinary solid truck tire. This new method of producing a grainless rubber fHSnk compound, and this company's new process of vulcanizing the rubber to the steel base, together have produced a solid truck tire the exceptional wMsbSSL ISSa quality of which has already been proven by performance. (\ m\ I This quality is backed by the good faith of the 111 § |sf§ ) United States Rubber Company, the oldest and larg- Jest rubber manufacturing company in the world. a mm United States Tires are Good Tires Country's Loss in the Coal Strike Placed at $126,000,000 Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 17. —I.oss to the United States on account of the recent coal strike amounted to approximately $126,000,000, while that to Ohio was about $27,000,000. W. P. McKinney, secre tary of the Southern- Ohio Coal Exchange, Says additional loss to rail roads from curtailed service and to industries forced to shut down on account of the fuel situation could not be estimated and no al lowance therefore is made In the estimate. The miners were the greatest losers In the strike, Mr. McKln ney's figures showed. Sixty million dollars was his estimate of their losses in wages in the country. The loss to the railroads he placed at $40,000,000 while the operators' figures he set at $26,000,000. In Ohio the distribution of the loss, according to Mr. McKinney's estimate, was: Operators, $6,500,000; miners, $11,000,000, and rail roads, $10,000,000. The last estimate includes revenue on coal only and not the loss on restricted service. At the beginning of the strike the production was already 40,000,- 000 tons short of normal, Mr. McKinney stated. This had already assured the mines of the maximum tonnage that could be produced and handled ..by the railroads, he said. On account of the strike, he added, the Ohio mines alone lost another 7,500,000 tons. The figure for the entire court-try he placed at 1,000,000 tons daily. Cost of maintaining the average mine in working condition with out producing coal, including upkeep, care of animals and mine organization, he placed at 4 0 cents per tor.-, to which must be added 25 cents per ton for overhead. Profit per ton ranged from 20 to 25 cents, he said. hospitals.
