WASHINGTON, D. <1, Dec. 12.—
Regional directors of railroads were
Riven authority tonight by Director
General Hines to remove restrictions
on the use of light, heat and power de-
rived from coal, as soon as the fuel
situation warrants. It was expected
that the restrictions would be removed
first in the Eastern district, which in-
cludes New York. The regional direc-
tors also were authorized to restore
train service removed or curtailed to
meet the coal shortage due to the bi-
tuminous miners' strike as soon as the
tuel supply the various regions
justifies.
Sending out of the instructions con-
stituted the first step taken by the
Government in the expectations that
miners would accept the Government's
strike settlement and return to work.

Fuel Administrator Garfield's resigna-
tion, seut to President Wilson yesterday,
whs discussed by White House officials,
who expressed the belief that It would !»e
accepted though it was not Indicated the
President as yet had acted. The work of
the Fuel Administration, it was said, prob-
ably would be transferred to the Uailroal
Administration. I»r. Garfield refused to
discuss the matter.
Operators representing the central Penn-
sylvania district, one of the largest in tho
United States, were the first to act today
on the settlement proposal, and, while ac-
cepting it, criticised its terms with the
vtmost vigor.
F. E. llarkness, couusei for the Fuel
Administration, announced during the day
that prices of coal contracted for by pur-
chaser prior to the resumption of Uol
eminent price fixing, could be legally
raised to absorb the cost of the 14 per cent
increase in miners' wages grauted under
tiie strike settlement. Coal mined on con-

that even after the addition of extra labor

The Government itself, through the Kail-
road Administration, which consumes nor-
mally ill per cent of the coal mined, will
pay the largest amounts under the ruling,

the dispatches relate. Many of the fa-
vors received by Britishers act as a
detriment to Americans, and the sus-
picion is growing here that the Car-
ranza government is prompted by ul-
terior motives, inimical to the interests
of Americans.
A chain of eircnnnUnres, which may
Boon lead officials to believe there is u
deliberate trade war against Americans,
with subsequent benefits to liugllsh In-
terests in Mexico and In Great Britain,
la disclosed by the advices, as follows:
1. Itafael Nieto Is now on his way to
England as the head of n financial mis-
"Ion, the ostensible purpose of which is to
close the financial agency the Mexican
government maintained In I.ondon up to
the outbreak of the European war. The
Nleto commission Is empowered to negoti-
ate a rehabilitation loan for the Mexican
government, and another of its purposes
la to get in touch with Hrltlsh officials
and financiers to secure. If possible, bet-
tcr relations between Mexico and Great
Britain,
2. The Mexican government is at pres-
ent planning to return the Mexican Vera
I'ruz Railroad Hue to the British inter
csts owning It This railroad was com-
mandeered by the government shortly alter
the revolution.
Oil Company Favored.
1. The Aguila UU Company, a British-
owned corporation, lias obtained permits
to drill new wells In the Tampleo district
tinder circumstances which are exactly the
same as those under which at least two
American oil corporations have been re-
fused permits.
4. A Col. McLean, an officer of the
British army, has been making frequent
trips to the City of Mexico, where he has
held long conferences with Luis Cabrera,
Minister of Finance, McLean Is under-
stood to have been Interested In a largo

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 12.—
The" claim of the Irish Republic to
recognition ;i an independent nation
was brought to Congress again today
and was debater in militant fashion
through a tempestuous all-day session
of the House Coi nnittee on Foreign
Affairs.
A crowd which jammed the commit- j
tee room and blocked adjoining corri-'
dors punctuated the proceedings with
cheers and with hoots of disapproval
as the opposing speakers presented
their arguments, and many times threw
the session into disorder by yelling'
gratuitous advice to committee and |
witnesses. It included many leaders of
the cause of Irish freedom in this
country and manifested in many ways
its sympathy with the plea for recog-
nition.
The occasion was committee considera-
tion of a bill by Representative Muson
(Republican) of Illinois, which would ap
proprlate funds for the dispatch on dip-
lomatic and consular representatives to
the government set up by the insurgent
Irish republicans. Us supporters declared

LONDON, Dec. 12.—Unless and
until official denial or substantial proof
to the contrary is forthcoming, public
opinion in England, and for thai matte*
throughout Europe, will adhere to the
conviction, everywhere apparent to«
night, that a new pact of London along;
the lines of the old-time secrct diplom-
acy is in the making at the end of the
second day of star chamber session at
No. 10 Downing Street. The British
press and public refuse to interpret
them any other way than that the foun-
dation is being laid for a mutually
j "protective" alliance between Britain,
| I ranee, Italy and Belgium. Further-
| more, public belief is that nothing will
i prevent this new "balance of power
bloc" from becoming a reality except
ratification of the peace treaty by the
United States.

NEW YORK, I'cr 12.—The -uro for so-

clares President. Wilson In an article writ-
ten for the current number of Independ-

"Men today are blessed with no curios-

ing that the doors behind' which secret

that do not respond In the keys the peo-
ple hold will be battered down nnd free

Autocratic governments of the past have
lived by concealment, free governments
must live by understanding. In the new-
day that is dawning only those govern-
ments that have no secrets from tbelr peo-
