In the controversy.
Final reports on the national fuel
situation were said to confirm the pre.
diction of the coal commission that
anthracite substitutes would be avail-
able in quantities adequate for every
normal requirements. The 25,000,000-
ton surplus of soft coal produced this
year would not figure in any distribu-
tion program, however, since it is held
to have already been distributed in the
bins of foresighted purchasers.

Then followed a subdued murmur, a
murmur of regret.
For several years the union had held

In the “good old days” it was recog-

A suit charging violation of the
state anti-trust laws and seeking the
forfeiture of its charter and franchise
was filed against the Gulf Refining
Company of Houston in the Fifty-third
District Court of Travis County today
by Attorney General W. A. Keeling. The
petition charges that the Gulf company
entered into a "combination and agree-
ment" with 330 gasoline retail dealers
of Texas for the handling of gasoline,
the purpose, of these combi nations be-
ing to "create and tend to create and
carry out restrictions in trade and

By entering agreements with the 330

PARIS, Aug. 25.—Chancellor Strese-

which he renewed his predecessor’s
pledge of material security for the
payment of reparations, has added to
the slight though general opinion felt
here over the whole situation.
Although the newspapers regret that
Herr Stresemann made substantially
the same offer as did Dr. Cuno,, they
nevertheless remark that the tone of
his speech showed a change for the
better.

LONDON, Aug. 25.—Speculating
on what has become of the gold
salvaged from the Laurentic, the
Westminister Gazette assumes
that the buillon has probably gone
to the United States to which it
was originally consigned. How-
ever, the newspaper fails to find
any confirmation of its supposition
in any published figures of gold
stocks.
From a general financial stand-
point, the paper continues, ths
treasure rescued from the Lauren-
tic is of little practical account
when one considers the vast
amounts that now figure in the
world’s transactions.
