SECRETARY SHAW.
Custodian of Uncle Sans Money Makes It Known He
Cannot Give S. Each to Deserving Applicants

Secretary Shaw desires it to be widely
known that ne is not conducting a char
liable institution. He gave out at the
Treasury this morning the following
undoubtedly one Of the most unique
statements ever issued by a Government
department:
The following notice has been ap-
pearing in newspapers throughout the
country

That the paragraph has been taken

hold out to them the hand of friendship

great organizations of capital can main

Grave Questions to Decide.
The grave question which you have
been called upon 10 consider today de-
mands and must recei-e yu1r most care
ful thought. Personally. should have
preferred an adjustment of the difficulty
existing IN the anthracite field by con-
ference with the anthracite mine owners.
and without the Intervention OF agencies
not directly involved. but I recognize
the fact that the relations between cur
selves and the mine operators have be-
come so strained as TO render direct ne
gotiation at this time impossible. If the
consequences of this strike affected only
the interests OF the operators and the
mine workers there would be less reason
for the Intervention of third party, but
the fart that a coal famine was upon the
people OF the Eastern seaboard States.
and threatened to become a national
calamity, justihes the action Of the Chief
Executive of our nation in his earnest
effort to bring about an early resump-
ton Of mining
