LAW CUTS SUPPLY OF OPIATEs
Thousands of Users In Ohio Reported
Dying Because Unable to Get Drugs

Lima, O.-Superintendent c.. H.
Clark of the State Hospital for the
Criminal Insane told the state board
OF administration at Columbus that
treatment at that institution of thou
sands of drug victims who are report
ed slowly dying because of inability to
get accustomed supply of drugs, would
be impossible. State Drug Inspector
Harrington appealed to the board to
open the hospital for treatment and
cure of drdg users. Superintendent
Clark's statement, however, was said
to preclude such solution Of the prob
lem.
Superintendent Clark told the board
the capacity of the hospital is 1000
and it already has a population of 6s4
He said that because insane criminals
treated there are the worst in the
state, each man requires individual
care and a system of doubling up" to
accommodate greater number of pa
tients would be an impossibility. In
spector Harrington told the board that
despite the delegation by the federal
government sof one physician in each
of the larger cities to administer doses
to habitual drug users whom he de
cides must have them, thousands oi
victims who can not get supply oi
SNOW" or hops" are not benefited
by this provision as they live in the
smaller cities and villages. He sai6
such drug users are consequently il

OPERATORS GET
new PROPOSAL
CHANGE IN WAGE CONTRACT
is SOUGHT FOR BUCKEYE
COAL FIELDS.
Hope Is Revived That Conference Will
Not End Without an Agreement
on New Ohio Rate.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O.-The United Mine
Workers of America, in session in New
York, are endeavoring to negotiate a
new wage contract for the soft coal
fields of Ohio and other states, and
made their first material concession,
offering to scale down their 10 per
cent per ton. increase for miners to ap-
proximately per cent net on the mine
run basis. In the Western Pennsylva-
MIA territory, however, the net advance
now asked by the miners amounts to
about II per cent, as in that field the
miners insist upon first raising the
mine run rate to the Ohio basic price
and then adding per cent. The 10
per cent increase asked for dead work
and yardage and the 20 per cent ad-
vance for men employed by the day
have not yet been considered and prob
ably will not be taken up until an
agreement is reached on the mining
rate.

NO ORDERS TO SINK DIVERS
Lord Cecil of England Says Merchant
men Were Not Directed to
Attack Submarines.

London, March 2.-On the eve of the
date set by Germany for the beginning
of her new submarine campaign
against armed merchant vessels. Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade. is
sued a statement giving the British
view of the status of such merchant
men. This statement, which is in an
swer to queries whether merchantmen
have been instructed to take ,the Of
fensive against submarines, says:
THE British view has always been
that defensively armed merchantmen
must not fire on submarines or any
other warships, except in self-defense.
The Germans have twisted a pas
sage In a document taken from a
transport which they sank into mean
ing that merchant vessels have in
structions to take the offensive. This
is not so.
The passage in question, which lays
down a maximum distance beyond
which merchant ships are advised not
tc fire, must be read in conjunction
with another passage which makes it
perfectly clear that merchant vessels
must not attack unless a submarine
shows Enthusiastically hostile inten-
tions."
