MINERS URGED TO GIVE HAND INCOAL CRISIS

MINERS WILL COMPLY.

Secretary Mitch Says Men Are Doing Their Patriotic Duty. "There seems to be a wrong impression regarding the mine workers observing holidays, and in line with the request of the fuel administration, also ths circular from international officials, U. M. W. of A., there is no doubt that the miners will comply by observing only Christmas and New Year's days," said Secretary William Mitch, Wednesday. "We have no specific agreement with the Deep Vein operators as to holidays, but It has been generally recognized that the two days referred to would be observed by the miners, and, generally speaking, there has been no week of idleness caused by the miners reu s i n e w o k "We do not wa6t the general Impression left that the sole responsibility is on the mine workers, and that they are not doing their patriotic duty. They realize that there is a general shortage of coal, and many of them are going to work day after day. and only get to do about a half day's work. Of course, this is something the public knows nothing about, and as the miner is only paid for the amount of work he does, he would only, be getting half the amount of money he should be getting if he was working under- perfect conditions the public has been led to believe he ha«. The crowded condition jof some mines is responsible, while other instances the railroad company cannot furnish coal cars sufficient, and numerous other reasons that are no fault of the miner and to hie detriment. "Early In the- summer, both operators and miners realized there was going tr be a shortage of coal, and if the advice that we offered (that cars in other service that could be used to ship coal be used at that time) had been accepted, it would have helped the situation, but seemingly the railroad companies and the government did not realize the situation, as the mines were only working about onehalf time during that period. "We realize this condition is here, and we want the public to know that the miners will do their share to relieve thp situation, or at least they have been doing it in the past."

MINE JOURNAL IN APPEAL.

Calls for Production of Every Ton of Coal Possible. INDIANAPOLIS,.Ind., Dec. 19.—The following patriotic message to coal miners of the country is printed on the cover page of the current issue of. the United Mine Workers' Journal: "Every ton of coal that can be produced is sorely needed. Coal is food coal is clothes coal is steel coal is guns coal is transportation. All in dustries are dependent upon coal. "To the extent of what one might produce, an idle day now means slacking the industries of the country. "Slacking the industries may cause disaster to our fellows on the fighting front. "No miner able to work has the right to lie idle when the success of our country's cause depends so largely upon the production of coal."

Car Supply Improves.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—For the first time in many months coal mines in southern Ohio today had a 100 per cent car supply, according to reports to the fuel administration. Other parts of the country still are suffering from car shortage and terminal congestion.

NAVY NOW BUILDING HUNDREDS OF SHIPS

Secretary Daniels, Called As Witness In House Inquiry, Says Aviation Also Is Making Strides.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—-Secretary Daniels, the first witness to testify in the inquiry- started today by the naval sub-committee of the house, gave a general review of what the navy has been doing, avoiding, as he explained, disclosing any facts that would be of value to the enemy. He told how the navy is now building 424 capital and other important ships.

Discussing the use of Submarine chasers, he said they were regarded as a necessity and there was no great enthusiasm about them as a weapon for permanent effectiveness.

Naval aviation he said, has luaAi gratifying strides, but has been hampered by lack of manufacturing facilities.

Secretary Daniels praised the coordination between the personnel of the navy and the personnel of the allies.

One of the great problems, ne said, was to furnish gun crows for merchant ships. "We made these reserve ships," «aid Mr. Daniels, "a school for gunners and the efficiency with which these officers have taken hold of the young men and made them efficient is really one of the big things of the navy in this war. "We are rather proud," the secretary said, "of the way the navy has met the actual test of war. I am glad for congress and the public to know somewhat of our activities. Taking stock, so to speak, cannot fall to bring ways for still further improvement and for still more efficient work in the future. We feel we have done yvell, but we still have problems, some of them very difficult, which we have been trying to solve in the best way possible from the very brief time allotted to solve them. To the best solution of these problems we hope to have suggestions and help from this committee md from congress."

Tilt Enlivens Hearing.

A tilt between Secretary Daniels and Rep. Britten enlivened the session, Britten asked what complaints had been made to the navy department by Vice Admiral Sims. "I think that is not a proper question to ask," said Secretary Daniels. **i will say, though inasmuch as the question has been asked in open session, that Admiral Sims has been given everything that the navy has that it could give."

Secretary Daniels said he did not believe "mess gossip" should be "bandied about."

PRATSE NEW riple.

Manufacturers Say War Department Change Was Justified. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—-Several months delay in supplying rifles, private ordnance manufacturers told the senate military committee today, resulted from the war department's decision to modify the Enfield type. Factory machinery changes, the committee was told, reduced the output of Enfields for England, and production will not return to maximum until next May.

A contract with the war department to produce modified Enfields was not completed until last July, President Henry S- Kimball, of the Remington company, testified. It waa October, he said, before machinery changes could be completed to begin output.

Delay in congressional appropriations further delayed the output His firm hesitated to take a contract in the absence of a definite appropriation. "The committee cannot understand why, with war imminent in March, no contract was mado ontil July,' said Senator Hitchcock.

Mr. Kimball disclaimed any Implication that appropriations delayed production, and said negotiations by the war department were promptly begun. If the department had not decided to bodlfy the British Enfield type, he said his firm could have turned out the British type virtually without any delay, but both he and Mr. Tyler said the new American rifle is superior, largely due to its ability to use much better ammunition cartridges.

Both manufacturers declared it a "very wise* move" to adopt the new tvro' notwithstanding the delay in production. "The change in the rifle was absolutely

justified

by the facility

use

the much superior American ammunition," he said. Turning to machine guns, the manufacturers said they were making the new Browning gun, "the finest ever seen."

Vice President Stoddard, of the Marlin ArmB corporation, declared that when he offered to begin work on guns on the certainty that war was coming. Col. Rice, of the ordnance bureau, told him "We're not interested." "It was utterly impossible t® make the ordnance department realize the possibilities of war,'-' said Mr. Stoddard, "and we simply folded our tents and went home."

After the manufacture of rifles began, it was testified. Col. Thompson wanted to delay production several months by Insisting on new standards, but the manufacturers appealed to Gen. Crozler, chief of the bureau, and went ahead with the work.

CHANCE FOR VETERANS.

Old Soldiers Up To Sixty Years Needed for Service, WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Old soldiers past the age when they are acceptable for line service—men who have at any time served honorably in the army, even those whose last service was during the Spanish war—will be accepted as recruits for the United States guard now being organized to relieve fighting troops on home duty.

Recruiting officials already are enlisting men. Old soldiers even up to fiO years will be accepted if they are physically fit for the work. Men of this type should understand that they are sought by the government. Heretofore no men over forty years of age have been accepted at any recruiting office.

should see a marked improvement in the state situation. One of the interesting divisional conferences helc| in Indianapolis incident to the war conference of Dec. 13th and 14th, wa« that of the county fuel administrators, who met with the. department heads of the state fuel administration.

At the close of the conference, the following resolution was passed by the Indiana county administrators:

Be Is Resolved by the county fue* administrators of the state of Indiana, assembled in conference with the federal fuel administrator for that state, that we fully realize that the successful conclusion of this war for world liberty depends upon ooal as much as on any other one thing

Coal to Win Wrnv

That the coal problem can only be solved by the patriotic and intelligent co-operation of the operators, the miners, the railroads, the dealers, and particularly, the people, acting uot for their particular business or welfare, or for their particular locality or particular state, but acting for the nation at a whole

That this nation is in a unit In its flght against autocratic world domination and must be a unit in the production and distribution of coal that any attempt by local authorities to interfere with the general plan adopted to meet the situation any attempt to seize or divert coal fjr the special benefit of particular localities must necessarily result in disorganization and disaster, and that we pledge to Dr. Garfield, and throii«rh him to the American people, our most earnest co-op-eration in carrying out the plans and policies of the federal fuel administration.

E. I. Lewis, chairman of the state public service commission, reviewed for the county administrators the transportation situation in Indiana. He told what had been done and what was being done and forecasted what reasonably might be expected of the railroads. He emphasized the fact that the coal and transportatibn problems were national rather than state, and submitted that the need was £or strong, central- 1 ized federal control,

Mr. Lewis pledged all the power of the state government in co-operation with the federal fuel administration to meet the situation in Indians.

Situation Relieved.

The coal situation in Terre Haute seems to have been relieved to a considerable extent, according to Fuel Administrator S. H. McClary, who said, Wednesday morning, that most of the mines were in operation again and that no more protests had been heard from any local industries. Mr. McClary says the majority of the industrial plants forced to close during the cold session are again in operation, at least to a partial extent, and he believes the worst to be over.

Some of the dealers are receiving a little coal and making deliveries direct from the car. E. M. Walker, president of the traction company, said enough coal to keep the power plant In operation for several days had been received and that more was expected befor^ the present supply la exhausted. $£•

THEATRES DENIED EXEMPTION.!

Told They Must Also Comply With "Lightless Night" Order# WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Requests by vaudeville theatres ^or exemption from the lightless night' order, on the ground that their patriotic services deserve recognition, was denied today by the fuel administration. The theatres had cited the fact that they had permitted use of their stages by fourminute men and by solicitors for Liberty bonds. Red Cross and other patriotic funds.

Replying to the request, Fuel Administrator Garfield today wired the Vaudeville Managers' Protective association at^N'ew York: "Although appreciating the patriotic services rendered by vaudeville houses to the country, we cannot permit exception in your favor, allowing excessive use of fuel to generate power. War -demands for coal are largely in excess of limited production. It Is unfair to the public to allow display advertising. We rely upon your pattriotlc co-operation to induce your members to comply loyally with our ruliasr'

WHEAT AREALAIGEST IS WORST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Winter wheat this year, planted on the largest acreage ever sown in the history of the country, showed on Dec. 1st the lowest condition on record.
