blew police whistle. Here the burglar
got away only with a pocketbooll con-

Federal Industrial Council
Advocated as Measure
to Stop Strikes

Washington, D. c., April 6.-Organi.
cation Of coal mine operators, so they
might agree on prices, was advocated
by John Mitchell, formerly president
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, today before the federal commits
sion on industrial relations. He argued
that the government should have SUI
pervision over such an arrangement
Forty per cent of all coal mined in the
United States was wasted, he said, be-
cause mine operators could not dis
pose Of it at profit.
Mr.. Mitchell thought a federal in
dustrial council, with power to investi-
gate causes Of threatened or pending
industrial strikes, would be of great
value, provided it had no power of
compulsory arbitration.
''The coal miner is SO much better
off today than he was in 1897 that
there is no basis Of comparison said
Mr.. Mitchell. But believe the min
er should be among the best paid work
ers in America"
Mr. Mitchell was the first witness at
a series Of hearings begun today by
the commission to investigate collec-
tive bargaining, conciliation and arbit-
ration in different industries. Coal
mining was taken up first and other. in
dustries will be considered in order.
John R. Commons of Wisconsin,,
presided at the hearing In the absence
of Frank P. Walsh. of Missouri, the
chairman.

The order was hailed with Joy here
today by the prohibition forces, who
declare it will have great Influence

When asked today to comment on
the order, President Wilson said it was

Washington, d. c., April 6.-Secre-
tary Daniels order barring the use of
alcoholic liquors in the navy, effective
after July l, next, was generally dis
cussed in naval and other circles here
today. The order, one Of the most
severe ever promulgated by the navy
department not only abolishes the
traditional "wine mess Of the officers,
but will bar all alcoholic liquors from
every ship and shore station of the
navy.
Surgeon General Braisted recon-
mended it after an exhaustive investi-
cation into the problem.
While declining to discuss for publ
cation the effect of the order, naval
officers privately expressed the belief
1t may fall of its purpose-to prevent
or decrease drunkenness within the
navy. In effect, the order does no
more than abolish the wine mess. No
