Another article in the same issue
tells of the failure Of the recruiting
campaign in Butte. 1t says:
"Single men are being forced to join
the army here in Butte. Employment
cards were not given any more the
last dav of March, and single men be-
tween the ages of eighteen and thir-
tv-fye were not hired in the mines
anv more, but were told to go JOIN the
army. Your country needs YOU
Your fatherland is in danger
"The patriotic jingoes have been try
inc Ia get the workers to enlist IN
the army voluntarily, but with poor
success, so that they had to invent
some means Of compulsion. There have
been only fifteen periodically IN
spired stupids who have enlisted WITH
in a week, and there are over lOO,Ooo
people in the city and its suburbs
Isn't it a grand achievement?
at seems that the workers in Butte
are beginning to realize that their IN
terests are not advanced by the war
question. They understand that their
boats have not been sunk by. the Ger
man submarines, and that the work
erz of the Central Empires have done
nothing bad to the workers Of this
country, but, on the contrary, the
workers Of this country have been
manufacturing bombs and bullets by
which the German workers have been
murdered during the last two and
half years. They understand that
their fatherland has not been at

etc. almost entirely.
"Let those go TO fight for their
country who own it and whose IN,

continuously refuse TO go TO slaugh-

is more honorable to die before your
residence than in the misery which
awaits you in the trenches on the
battlefield, where you will be slaugh-
tered anyhow

"Get your latest issue of The Masses

To all subscribers are sent appeals

manager, said yesterday at his Office,

WILL Mine CULM TO
end COAL Shortage
Operators Expect in This
Way to Relieve Local
Situation
MANY EMPTY BINS
IN EASTERN HOMES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 10. -
The great culm banks of the three an
thracite fields may solve the problem
Of coal scarcity which has been per-
picking the coal dealers Of the city
and causing annoyance and discomfort
to thousands of homes where the sup
ply of fuel was insufficient to last
through the cold wave.
It was reported that the Reading
Coal Company has already started
hundreds OF men to work on its 200
feet high culm bank, at Tuscorora, and
that within a week the hard coal from
this bank will begin starting in ship
ments for Philadelphia. The culm
banks are the accumulation of refuse
left when chestnut and all larger sizes
OF anthracite coal had been removed.
At that time pea coal was not regarded
as of commercial value. When pea coal
came into demand the culm banks
were untouched, and the smaller coal
was delivered direct from the mines.
A drastic step is contemplated by the
local Coal Exchange, which may ask
Director Wilson to cooperate in con-
Quoting an investigation of every eel
lar where a demand is made for coal
The dealers want TO deliver the coal
where it is most needed, and feel that
a police investigation to show that
there is actual want should protect
them from the people who simply de-
sire to hoard up an unnecessary sup
ply.
Tuesday was particularly hard FOL
thousands OF Philadelphians. A num-
Der Of factories and office buildings
were compelled to close down fol
lack Of fuel, while residents in some
sections had to resort 10 wood anc
oil stoves, and hospitals were in great
need Of coal

Although the United Kingdom is
