PRESIDENT IS MOVING
TO PREVENT STRIKE
APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM
OF WORKINGMEN.
Calls Four Brotherhood Heads
to Meet Him in Conference
November %.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Once
again President Wilson has under
taken personally to prevent a gen
eral railroad strike. He has called
the heads of the four great railroad
protherhoods to meet him in con-
terence November %, and will insist
that patriotism be put ahead of pri-
vate interest; that there be no at
tempt to handicap the operation of
vital part of the national war
making machinery.
The President is confident that
nothing unpatriotic will be done, but
IL the necessity arises, he is prepar-
ed to take the required steps to pre-
vent a tie-up of transportation.
In announcing today the coming
conference with the union chiefs
Judge William L. Chambers. chair
man OF the board of mediation and
conciliation, made public a letter
from the President which said:
"It is inconceivable to me that
q
ment contemplate the interruption
OF the transportation which is so
absolutely necessary to the safety of
the nation. The last thing /
should wish to contemplate would
be the possibility of being Obliged
to take any unusual measure to on
crate the railways and l have so
much confidence that the men YOU
are dealing with will appreciate the
patriotic motives underlying your
efforts that l shall look forward with
assurance to your success"
At the time of the theatened
strike aVerted by the eight-hour law
last year, 1t was understood that the
government had developed plans for
emergency operation of the rail
roads, If that became necessary. At
at war
President Wilson's letter was sent
to Judge Chambers two weeks ago.
before the mediation board chair
man left for Cleveland, o., to con-
fer with the union leaders. 1t is un-
derstood the conferences held there
were productive Of substantial agree
ments, but that the engineers, con
ductors and firemen were unwilling
to commit themselves uncondi-
tionally to arbitration, although
welcoming mediation.
An adjustment at the White
House conference next week is hop
ed for which will dispose of the pos
sibility OF strike, at least for the
duration OF the war, either by an
agreement to submit the difficulties
to an arbitration board whose
findings would be binding, or by
postponing a wage contest until the
enemy overseas has been defeated.
The Switchmen's Union Of North
America has agreed to arbitrate and
1t is understood the Order OF Rail-
road Telegraphers also is willing TO
put its case in the hands of an i'm
perial tribunal.
The new demands by the railroad
workers would add 100000, 900
yearly to their pay envelopes, ac-
cording to calculations OF the rail-
way managements

SHORTAGE Of COAL IS
NOW 5O,0OO,OOO TONS
GARFIELD OUTLINES PLAN
OF CONSERVATION
Production Far Behind Demand
Necessitating Immediate
Protective Measures.

Noi' A>oN. lO.-lne l9l
coal shortage is put at $4,000, 900
tons in estimates completed TODAY
by the fuel administration. AL
though production of bituminous
ana anthracite together has jumped
5o,oOO.OOO tons, consumption, it is
declared. has increased at least
100000 tons.
Immediate measures to meet the
situation planned by Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield include curtailment
or shipments to non-essential indus
tries, priority orders designed to in
crease the car supply and cam
paign for coal conservation in man
ufacturing establishments and
households.
Previous statements from the ad-
ministration had indicated the be-
lief that the increased production
might meet the enlarged demand
munitions plants, however, are said
to be using fully so per cent more
coal than they used year ago and
cther lines of industry, stimulated
pE war conditions, are demanding
nearly as large an increase in their
supplies.
THE fuel administration is de-
termined," said DR.. Garfield today.
that war industries, public utilities
and domestic consumers shall he
supplied. To this end the fuel adj
ministration expects the co-opera-
ton of every coal user in the conn
try. The fuel administration Will
use all of its authority to prevent
the waste of fuel and the unneces-
sary use OF coal. Domestic users will
De urged to conserve their supplies.
Wherever the unnecessary use
of coal in industry threatens TO en-
barrass war industry the fuel ad-
ministration will see that the war
needs are filed. All activities which
are unnecessary to the maintenance
OF the military or economic efficiency
will have to give way by curtail-
ment TO the necessities OF war. and
this must be accomplished without
undue curtailment of the domestic
supply.
This policy is expected to relieve
not only the demands for coal. but
part OF the enormous pressure on
the transportation facilities of the
country"
DR.. Garfield illustrated the in
creased demand for coal by pointing
to the requirements OF the Bethle-
, hem Steel company, which is con
suming this year 5000, 900 tons
more than IL took in 1916. The de.
mands of the government, including
the requirements OF the fighting
forces of the army and navy, jumped
this year from 100000 to 5000
600 tons. The requirements of pub
lie utilities companies have increas-
ed about 33 per cent. Most of this
increase was due to the increased
use OF power by munitions plants.
Solution OF the car shortage prob
lens. officials believe, will do as
much toward increasing the supply
to meet the demand as will curtail-
ment OF industry. although the best
possible use OF transportation facil-
tiles still would leave the country
many millions OF tons short OF fuel.
'Curtailment, therefore. will be en-
forced to the point where consump-
tion and production are balanced.

Gompers said he was proud to serve

What we aim to do" Mr.. Com

WINTER TONIC FOR POULTRY
Beets, Silage and Alfalfa Produce Sat-
~isfactory Results-cabbaee Also
Is Excellent.

Succulent feed should be given to
chickens in winter, because of its val
lie as a tonic, asserts II. Nj. Sherwood,
acting head of the department of poul-
try husbandry in the Kansas state ag-
ricultural college.
"Beets, silage, and alfalfa may be
obtained on most FARMS" said Mr..
Sherwood. alfalfa leaves soaked in
sour milk are of great value. The
milk softens the leaves, and also fur
nishes valuable food nutrients. 1t is
well for the farmer to plant winter
wheat or rye near his chicken house."
Cabbage is excellent as a green feed,
in the opinion of Mr. Sherwood. Some
persons feed turnips, potatoes, and
even apples. Sprouted oats are often
used for succulence, but it is not de-
sirable that the %sprouting be done in
the house because of the offensive
odor given off. This necessitates the
use of Il special sprouter with heater,
and adds materially to the cost of the
feed.

PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Use Slender Bladed Sharp Knife, Max.
ing Cut Well Back in Order to
Induce Free Bleeding.

When the birds are thoroughly fat
and plump, geese may be killed in the
following manner: Hang by the feet,
back to the wall and insert a long
slender-bladed, sharp knife into the
roof of the mouth. The cut should be
made we'll back in order to induce free
bleeding. 1t is difficult to drypick a
fat bird without tearing the skin. A
better way is to loosen the feathers
by scalding or steaming.
A good way is to make a small plat
form of laths and place it in the bot
tom of a barrel so that the platform
will be about 4 inches above the water.
Pour Into the barrel boiling water n
til it comes within about an inch of the
platform. Lay the goose on the plat
form, cover the barrel tightly with a
heavy piece of carpet or cloth and al
low it to steam for five or six minutes.
Before placing the bird in the bar
rel, tie a stout string to it's feet, leav-
ing one end hanging outside by which
