STRIKE IN AMERICA.

OUTLOOK MORE SERIOUS. SHORTAGE OF COAL. RATIONING SCHEMA, . By Telegrapjj-.—Prtrw Aaun.—eopyrTgUt; Received July 25, 9.5 p.m. Washington, July 24. The situation grows more serious every hour, as from all communities come cries of lack of coal. The first intimation of the Government’s intention regarding the coal strike came to-night, with the announcement that the Department of Justice approved Mr. Hoover’s plan for the appointment by the President of a committee, which will have representatives in the various coal-produc-ing districts. These will inform the committee which mine-operators are charging only a fair price for coal, and, at the same time, an Inter-State Commerce Commission will allot railway coal cars to those mines only which are not taking advantage of the coal shortage to raise the prices. Railway company executives and mine operators are now conferring regarding the means of carrying out the plan. This virtually amounts to rationing coal throughout the nation, with the prevention of profiteering. ORDERS FOR BRITISH COAL. ACTIVITY OF THE MARKET. Received July 25, 9.5 p.m. London, July 24. The British coal market is most active through the receipt of American orders owing to the coal-miners’ strike. Steamers carrying 150,000 tons are already chartered. and inquiries are still pouring in. Unless the American dispute ends, orders for British coal' are likely to reach two million tons monthly.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
