Government Receive Protest From Industry Everywhere Saying Order Means Ruination Unless CHINESE PATRIOTS Pays For It ATTEMPT SUlCipE. AS TREATY PROTEST LONDON, July 11. Seldom has any people received such a swift and vivid lesson in practical economics as the British government has given this nation by the notice In the house of common Wednesday that it was raising th price of coal six shillings per ton . ' from next Wednesday. The response has been Immediate and specific,' and comes from atmost every branch of Industry In th kingdom; from steel manufacturers, shipbuilders. ship owner, railway managers, gas works and almost all aorta of manufacturers and industries down to laundries and bakerlea They explain Juat what the government order will cost their concerns and serve no tloe also that they must pass th cost on Ihe hayer wad consumers Great export Industrie declare th Increase in the price of coal will handicap them in their competition with other countrtee and may mean, in some instances, a stoppage of their plants and an Increase in unemployment. The general public la told how much th higher pries of coal will Inflate living expenses An Object Lesson, The government apparently meant this to be an object lesson as to what would result from th prevalent agitation for higher wages, and shorter working hours. It alee seems to be trying to throw cold water on the campaign for th nationalisation of Industries by trying to show that government management does not mean that wagea can be Increased and prices , decreased indefinitely. During the last stages of the war the government was running the railroads at a loss, according to a statement made before the house of commons by Sir Eric Geddes, minister fo, ndtloaal service and reconstruc'ion. This loos is now at the rats of sixty million pounds a year. The deficit In the coal Industry Is estimated at 44 600.000. Coal la In a different category, because th government has fixed prices since It took control of the mines and has fixed them at a rate to permit the weakest mines tojnake a profit. .The strongest mines made large profits, but 80 per cent of these came back through (he excess profits tax Th government holds that the Increase of six shillings was necessitated by increassd wages and the falling off of production."1- - The Great Question.

The present a good corn crop OMAHA. for the entire corn belt Is much more encouraging than it was two weeks ago. Notwithstanding the' wet weather which prevented the proper handling of the crop earlier in the season, the ideal weather zlnce then has changed conditions very materially. According to government calculations, the acreage this year is estimated at 100,930,000 as against 107,. 000.000 acres last year. The present condition of the crop, however, warrants an estimated yield of 2,736.000,-00- 0 btrshels compared with 2,622,000,-00- 0 harvested In 1918. 'While there has been some dam- -' age to the crop by heavy rains, and some by cut worms, the general condition throughout the corn belt Is far better than is the general belief owing to discouraging reports which have been received from certain sections of the country which never have a fair crop. Some parts of the country would be benefited by rains, while In Dakota and part of northwestern Iowa are suffering from too much moisture, and weeds are growing faster than the com. In the main portion of the corn belt, however, crop favorable and conditions continue there are no critical conditions. The average report received this week on the growth condition of the corn Is three points better than reported two weeks ago, indicating an improvement which is quite apparent in the fields have been cultivated and the weather turned warm, causing rapid growth. 'The growth condition as reported by each state is as follows; Ohio 88, Indiana 98, Illinois 88, Missouri 88, Iowa 80, Nebraska 86, Kansas 82, Oklahoma 87. Basing the acreage of com planted last year at 100, the percentage comparison of the acreage planted this spring as reported, this week is as follows; Ohio 96, Indiana 95, Illinois 90r Missouri 70, Iowa 9L Nebraska 88, Kansas 71, Oklahoma 85.
