STRIKE RANKS IN SPRINGFIELD CONTAIN 8,000 Barbers, Grocery Clerks and Meat Cutters go Out in Sympathy. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 13. The Industrial tie-up growing out of the strike of street car operatives became more acute today when barbers, grocery clerks, brewery workers and meat cutters joined the ranks of the strikers. Plumbers and electricians are threatening to leave their work before the day is over. In every case, those who have walked out declared their action was not primarily in sympathy with the car strike, but because police and military authorities had denied unionists their right to parade last Sunday. Nearly 8,000 Out. Estimates placed the number now on protest strike at between 7,000 and 8,000, most of whom are coal miners. Governor Lowden has said drastic measures would be taken to root out the "sinister and disturbing" elements who he declared last night, are stirring up trouble to embarrass the nation in its conduct of the war. What measures the governor will take could not be forecast early today. Martial law is spoken of as a possibility. Petitions for the recall of Mayor Charles T. Baumann and Commissioner of Public Safety Roy R. Reece were prepared for circulation today. Animus against these officials grew out of this to grant a permit for the labor parade last Sunday.

Swedes Required America to Put Messages Through Them in French

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Baron Akerhielm, charge of the Swedish legation here, today informed Secretary Lansing he had received the statement of the Stockholm foreign office, already published here, on the passage of the Luxburg dispatches through the legation at Buenos Aires, but that as the department already is in possession of that information, he did not consider it necessary to present it formally. Examination of the already publish ed statement revealed some inaccuracy. The Swedish foreign office says it acted in a similar way for the Unit ed States and its minister in Turkey. "The American minister," said the Swedish statement, "during the pres ent year asked for and received leave td send to and from Turkey letters and telegrams and this at a time when Tur key had not yet gone to war with the United States and its interests had no yet been taken over by the Swed ish representative in Constantinople. Merely Had Injured. Records at the state department showed that Minister Ira Nelson Mor ris to Sweden had reported that the Swedish government had not been re quested to transmit any messages be fore April 10, but that he had inquired if the Swedish government would be willing to assume charge of American interests in Turkey in case of rupture. The Swedish government's agreement to forward messages required KENNEDY BUYS KRONE INTEREST With the purchase of the interest of the Krone estate in the firm of Krone & Kennedy by Lon Kennedy, announcement has been made by Mr. Kennedy that he will continue to conductvthe business, which is located at S04 Main street, as heretofore.

The same policy that has been dominant in the business in the past will be used in the future, acording.to Mr. Kennedy.

the United States to present them to the foreign office in Stockholm or to the Swedish legation in Constantinople in French and here to be put into Swedish cipher for transmission. Regarding the forwarding of letters to or from Turye, Mr. Morris has informed the department that he did not seek such permission until some time in July, 12 weeks after Sweden had taken over American interests in Turkey. He said that in making the requests he made it clear that such letters and replies be forwarded only with the knowledge and approval of the Turkish government. 700 Americans Are Still in Germany BERLIN, via London, Sept, 12. Since the breaking off of relations between the United States and Germany 470 Americans have departed from Germany for home or neutral countries. The census recently compiled by the American Association of Com merce and Trade of Berlin indicated that there were approximately 1,200 Americans in Germany on March 1. The present number will therefore not greatly exceed 700, half of whom are living in Berlin. Americans continue to be unmolest ed and are subjected to the same police rules and travel restrictions as neutrals. Requests for permits to cross the frontiers are granted in the order filed. The routine, however, fre quently necessitates a wait of three or four weeks. Court Records Marriage Licenses John F. Underzagt, pharmacist, Richmond, and Mabel Shaver, Richmond. Russell A.

GARFIELD MAKES APPEAL FOR COAL CONSERVATION Coal Administrator Says Coal Problem in Hands of People. WASHINGTON. Sept 13. Through the chamber of commerce of the United States, Dr. H. A. Garfield, fuel administrator, has appealed to American business, to assist in the conservation of coal. Dr. Garfield's appeal appears today in the official publication of the chamber as follows: "It is the duty of every American to save coal this winter, If every family will save a ton of coal, if ever industrial plant will save ten percent of the coal it uses, which ten percent it now wastes, the coal problem will be largely solved. There Is plenty of coal in the ground, but there is a shortage of cars and of labor at the mines. "If every family will reduce the temperature of its house at least five degrees, it will mean that millions of tons of coaL will be saved and the health of the nation will be improved. This is not a hardship; it is a health measure, for most Americans live in super heated homes. "The coal supply can be conserved by more economical methods of firing by sifting ashes, by watching the furnace door and by heating only the parts of the house in use. To do this is a public duty. If the house-holders of the country save one ton out of twelve, they save ten million tons of coal. The bureau of mines states that many plants waste as much as fifty percent of the coal they buy through unscientific firing and inadequate

equipment. Asks Co-operation "Immediate changes to efficient equipment are in many cases impos sible just now when our need to save is greatest; but efficient firing and intelligent effort on the part of all power plant operators to do the best they can with the equipment they have, would mean an enormous saving that would make the coal situation safe Instead of critical." "The opportunity here for business men's organizations throughout the country to co-operate with the state and local fuel administrators now being appointed is obvious. It is the pa triotic duty of every manufacturer to consider the problem of scientific fir ing and to see that his firemen are properly instructed. Advice and in formation can be had for the asking from the Bureau of Mines. Solution Lies with People. "The solution of the coal problem lies largely with the American people. The government cannot save coal for them; they must save it for themselves. They must not rely wholly upon price fixing, nor upon the already overtaxed transportation sys tems of the country, nor upon the effort to increase production, nor upon the apportionment of coal, nor upon the enforcement of the law. All must co-operate." Richmond Men Will Attend Horse Fair If plans work out as planned by Secretary Albus, of the Commercial club, a party of Richmond business men will attend the Hagerstown horse fair next Thursday afternoon. "The people of Hagerstown patronize our stores and our enterprises and we should return their patronage," Albus said. He urges that at least 40 or 50 men motor over and spend the afternoon there.
