The Selective service law does not

Local boards may well hold that a

SEES COAL TRUST ACTION
State Defense Council ls Shown New
Angle Of operation--Miners Re-
fuse to Make Shipments.

Madison-The state council OF de-
fense was told at it's weekly meeting by
man long connected with the coal
business of a new angle of the trust
method of operation.
For several months the excuse has
been offered by coal operators that a
shortage of cars was responsible for
the scarcity of coal and the high price.
i1He testimony given showed that op-
orators have refused to ship coal from
their mines to the docks except when
the coal is bought at the mines. The
price of Pocahontas in f. o. b. mines in
1915 was $1.15 The price today is
$3.50 a ton.
1t was shown that If the coal oper-
ators would ship coal now while the
lake is open and fill the docks. being
willing to take the going price for the
coal when it is finally sold, that the
proba ability of a coal famine in the west
next winter would be averted. 1t was
testified, however, that the coal oper-
ators refused to consign coal to them
selves, and the dealers and dock oper-
ators have declined to contract for
coal at the present prices.

national Guard.

Madison-Adjt. Gen. Holway has re-
eeiTed many strong Endorsements from
federal army officers on the strength
and condition of the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard. Statements of army off,
GERS are uniformly to the effect that
no other state in the union has done
more toward placing It's guard in a
position to meet the war emergency
than has Wisconsin.

partment Of the Lakes, United States
army. who made an official call on Gov.
Philipp, enroute from Camp Douglas
10 Chicago, reiterated the expression
OF satisfaction and told the governor
that everyone was satisfied with what
Wisconsin has accomplished
Gen. Holway says conditions at
Camp Douglas are fast becoming army
like, and that no difficulty will be ex-
perienced in having all troops which
are mobilized there well equipped be-
fore they start South.
The government shipments of equip
ment have been rushed to the Wiscon-
sin guard, and the regiments are fast
assuming a correct military appear
ance. The fact that so many compa-
MES in the Wisconsin guard have
seen service at the Mexican border
and are practically seasoned troops is
of great aid in rounding the National
guard units of Wisconsin into shape.
Nearly all of the recruits also of the
regiments which were in service be-
fore the war. have received military
training since they joined the guard.
The work of training the new regi-
ments also is progressing very fast,
