BY OSCAR {. HEWITT.

The urgent need of coal in Italy
with which to manufacture ammuni-
tion-the lack of which the italian
commission in this country says is
largely responsible for the recent re-
verses-directs attention to the sup
plies in this country and Great Bril-
tain.
The fuel comptroller Of the United
Kingdom has boosted within thirty
days the wages Of the miners about
Is per cent, and it is expected in
Washington that the output will be
Increased a little. 1t is estimated
that the wage increase will mean an
outlay of approximately $100,000,000
ANNUALLY.
In view Of the recent strike in Illi-
nois and other mines to get a wage
Increase, the negotiations in London
supply an example of how the miners
md operators income may be main
tanned and the country served in a
peaceable settlement of a labor dis
pute.
During the dickering coal was mined
as usual. The miners wanted fiat
Increase. The comptroller offered ar
Increase, subject to future adjustment,
according to changing conditions. One
of these was that if the cost of living
should go down, the wages of the min,
ers should be lowered. The miners
stood out and the comptroller granted
4 fiat increase, although not as much
DIS the men had requested.
A little later other mine workers.
such as enginemen, stol1ers, surface
workers and colliery firemen-were
given an increase. Altogether it is
Estimated that 10000 men got boost
ih pay.
At the beginning the miners assert
I'd they would not tolerate any addi-
dional mining cost being thrown upon
the consumers of coal. They-had the
Impression that at the prices charged
the mine operators were making suf-
Hcient profits to pay an increase of rs
per cent in wages to the miners.
The coal comptroller offered to give
/ t2e, miners an increase Of % cents
l. afi persons over eighteen
years Of age and 1914 cents day to
boys under that age. This was de-
clined with thanks. That was the net
result of the first two weeks work.
The coal comptroller raised his offer
to 81 cents day for those over eight
cen years of age and Is cents for those
below.
This second offer was turned down
by the miners. They did not want
any provisos attached. The next day
the coal comptroller offered 371a cents
a day increase for workers over six
teen years old and eighteen certs for
those under that age. That was ac-
cepted. The comptroller pointed out
to the miners that in certain sections
there were not sufficient workmen to
operate mines to their full capacity
and he desired to shift the miners
about to increase production. This
suggestion was referred to the local
unions for consideration and report,
and while the details have not been
sent to this country, it has been stated
that satisfactory plan of increasing
production has been worked out.
With the miners out of the way
other colliery workers presented their
request and were offered 81 and Is
cents day increase, according to the
age dividing line. Within five days
an agreement was reached by which
these workers obtained 371a cents a
day for all over sixteen years and Is
cents for the others.

Washington.-Th five classes into
which 5000, 900 men registered for mil
itary duty-and those who are regis.
tered hereafter-are divided and the
order in which they will be called for
service were announced officially in
the Provost Marshal Generals ques.
tionnaire, which every registered man
must fill out and file. The order shows
some change from the tentative draft
published some time ago. Contrary to
some published reports it does not ex.
empt married men as a class but i.
does place married men with depend.
ent wives and children far down on the
list of tables. In fact, the question.
naire indicates that only men of the
first class will be called to the colors
except in the gravest emergency.

He Hit Something, Anyway.

A citizen of northern Maine is bit
sensitive on the subject of shooting
bears. He was employed one summer
to watch lumber camp, proceed
ing made necessary by Bruins fond
ness for the pork and molasses stored
there for winter use. The bears had
been more or less troublesome during
the summer, and the watchman threat
ened the next one that came prOwling
about his camp with dire destruction.
One night he heard bear. He seized
his rifle and fired. The bear fled into
the darkness, but a gug-gug-g-g-g be-
trayed fatal wound. The sound could
be distinctly heard for some time-gug-
gug-g-g-g. In the morning the would
be hunter found the bullet had missed
the bear and penetrated the kerosene
barrel. The gug-gug-g-g-g was caused
by the escape Of 90 gallons Of good oil
which lay spilled on the ground.

MACHINE TOOLS IN JAPAN
Only Comparatively Recently Has That
Country Undertaken to Produce
Its Own Supply.

Japan has taken up the manufacture
of machine tools seriously only within
the last ten years or so, and, according
to ALFRED Herbert's Monthly Review"
little progress was made until about
four years ago, when the government
decided that it was time to encourage
domestic manufacturers, with the OBJ
ject of checking the flow of specie
abroad and of rendering the markets
less dependent on foreign supplies. The
war has had a great effect on the de-
velopment of the industry, and as an
~example of what has been done large
works. containing roughly 1000 engine
lathes, 300 capstan lathes and $50 drill
ing machines, were recently completed
within three months of the first or
ders being given out, over 80 per cent
of the machines being made in japan.
In regard to methods of manufacture,
jigs and fixtures are not used to any
great extent. and as most Of the works
will accept any order that comes their
way within their capacity there is lit
tie opportunity for specialization.
