as remarkable the fact that the vessel

came within line of the torpedo fire.
They explained the escape as probably
due to the fact that the submarine aim
was impaired by the speed or quick

j. S. PLANS TO SEIZE
EXCESS COAL STORES
HELD IN TWO STATES
uppIies Hoarded in Ohio and
Pennsylvania Will Be Taken
at Government Prices and
Returned Later

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The fuel ad-
ministration plans to seize temporarily
excess coal boarded at several Ohio and
Pennsylvania points. Later it will re-
place it. For the present. however, it
feels that excess stores should be treat
ed exactly as though the coal were
stored at the mines. The government
will pay government prices and redis-
tribute the excuses to places where it
is needed. 1t is estimated that 100000
tons are cached in Ohio.
The striking coal miners must return
to work before Fuel Administrators Gar
field will decide on their wage demands.
The government will not be placed in
the position of surrendering to the strik-
ers in principle on matter vitality at
fecting conduct of the war.
This ultimatum is understood to have
been delivered by Garfield to leaders of
the United Mine Workers here today.
President John P. White expects to leave
within twenty-four hours to make
final personal appeal to the union miners
to return. to work. District leaders IN
Indiana. Illinois, Ohio and the south
western coal fields are already striving
to prevent further walkouts.
William Greene, secretary of the mine
workers, arrived in Washington today,
from Indianapolis. .a.'
More bituminous coal minesr are going
on strike today unless their wage de-
mands are granted by Fuel Administra-
tor Harry Garfield, officials of United
Mine Workers here declared. Admitting
they are helpless to restrain their men,
the labor leaders said Garfeld's threats
to compel production of coal to meet war
needs will not restrain the strikers.
Labor CONSUMPTION is running
through the minds of Garfield and his
aides, but they have formulated no def
mite plans and are doubtful of their
legal premises in the matter. Govern
ment operation of the mines is author
lied by the Pomerene amendment to the
food control law, but the miners say
they will not work unless given a raise
in wages.
Garhelds statement that he is giving
immediate and close attention to the
wage question with prospect of an
early decision has resulted in strained
relations between him and the federal
not asked the commission to figure out
the cost Of the wage raise to the con-
sumner.
Rumors that the commission was de-
laying their report to Garfield out of
pioue for his having been given the
coal control were bitterly denied at the
commissions office. The commissions
expert wrote Garfeld's mine price and
retail price orders. and they are at a
loss to understand why the wage in
crease and it's bearing on higher coal
prices is not submitted to them

STATUS OF ALL APPEALS
DEFINED BY MALLETT
No Authority for Rehoaring
Where Question Is One
of Facts

Major Joel b. Mallett, of the adju-
tant generals department, in a state
ment given 10 The Journal Thursday, is
believed to have definitely made clear
the status of most of the appeal cases
in Georgia under the selective service
law. He sums up the whole situation in
the following paragraph:
After a man has been indicted into
the military service and sent to a mobil-
ization camp. there is no authority un-
der the law for obtaining rehearings by
the local and district boards in cases
where the only question is one of the
determination of facts by the boards.
Only where through error in law or
through the nonculpable ignorance of
the registrant a man has been held to
service who should have been discharged
or exempted. is authority granted to re-
quest rehearings by the board" .
The statement then continues:
ORDER QUOTED.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
saws:
lit has been brought to the attention
of this office that the governors and ad-
jutants general have been besieged with
applications to request rehearings IN
cases where the only question was one
OF the determination of fact by the
boards. To inject into the established
system at this time the governor and
his adjutant general as a new board of
review is an error which finds no justiGi-
cation in any rulings or direction issued
from this office"
Provost Marshal General Crowder
further states. in compiled rulings No.
Il. there are relatively very few cases
Of hardship where either through error
in law or through the nonculpable ig-
norance of the registrant a man has
been held to service who should have
been discharged or exempted. and
neither the military authorities at the
mobilization camp nor the adjutants
general of the states are constituted as
boards OF review of the action of local
and district boards.
There is no authority for reopening a
case on the ground of physical disquali-
flcatiOn, for his physical qualification for
military service is finally determined
by the surgeon at the mobilization camp
and there Is no necessity nor is there
any authority for reopening a case where
the only suggestion is one of the phys
icaI qualification of the registrant
If any person has been sent to camp
through error in Lave or through the
noncuIpable ignorance of himself. In
these rare cases ne may apply to his
local board 10 have the case reopened.
and the local board will request of the
adjutant general permission 20 reopen
the case if such person was certified for
service through an error in law or
through the nonculpable Ignorance of
such registrant. However, there are
very few of such cases.
