MOVE SLOW ON PENSION LAW.

Columbus Ohio-Officers of the state
federation of labor refuse to commit the
movement of any specific old-age pen
sion plan at this time and have declined
the request of Herbert Bigelow, of Gin
cinnati, connected with the Old Age Pen
sion League, who urges Ohio unonists
to support constitutional amendment
favored by the league.

also health insurance, and report to the
next general assembly.
The organized workers will wait for
the report of the commission before they

Possible Saving Very Large.

ough instruction and a moderate re-
modelling of coal-burning equipment,
which could all be accomplished dur
ing the war. a further considerable
saving could be made.
The possible saving when present
practice is compared with the best ideal
practice is very large. If it were pos
sible to supply the need of this country
for light, heat and power through the
highest type of mechanical devices. and
If We could make a skilled user out of
the average user. we could probably
get along with half as much coal as
we are now consuming. This ideal is
far beyond present realization. We can
not scrap all out-of-date power plants
We must start with doing the best

GIVES PRACTICAL VIEWS
ON ECONOMICAL HEATING
Director Manning Talks to the State
Assistants of the Fuel Admin
istration.

Examine your house carefully for cold
inlets and overhaul your heating equip
ment, advises Van II. Manning, direc-
tor of the bureau of mines, pointing
out the necessity for the economical
use of fuel. Talking to state assist
ants of the fuel administration, called
here by DIR. II. A. Garfield, Mr.. Man
ming said today;
Weather strips. double windows.
pipe coverings, clean flues and CHM
neys. and tight fittings in ash pits,
doors. hampers and furnace parts will
all pay. Damper control is one of the
chief secrets of economical heating.
Clean heating surfaces are most es-
sentisl, as SCOT is a poorer conductor
of heat than asbestos. Care, attention
and taking pains Will be the greatest
factors in saving domestic coal"
Mr.. Manning said that about 90 per
cent of the COO. 900. 900 tons of coal
mined in the United States is used for
house heating and that it is shoyeled
by more than 15.000,00o people.

Americans Have Wasted Coal.

Americans have been as wasteful Of
coal az of other resources" continued
Mr.. Manning. largely because coal has
been abundant. To many consumers
1t has seemed hardly worth while to
give time and thought to the saving Of
coal. Conditions have suddenly changed
Today 1t is everybodys business to
save coal. Coal is the foundation stone

One mans careless and wasteful use

with the world looking to us largely
for its coal supply. with increased de-
mands at home, with a scarcity Of
available labor, with overtaxed trans
portation facilities, the consumer Of
coal must pause and give serious con-
sideration to the problem which con-
fronts the country.
