But they have created a Frankensten
in their midst. Deceived by the universal
illusion of the need of military prepared
ness they have built up a machine with
all the logical perfection and finished
skill Of which they are capable.
1t is this monster who is now devour-
ing them and devastating the world. The
responsibility for the colossal crimes Of
the past three years must be laid at
somebody's door, and the common con-
sent of mankind and the logic of facts
put this responsibility at the door OF

on New Scale-Fuel
Wastage Probe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Many anthra-
cite miners are stopping work as the result
of delay in reaching a wage increase ue
cision in the joint conference here, accord
ing to miners representatives today. IN
stead of agreement last night, as delegates
pred .cted. differences arose over the terps
of the new wage scale making a settlement
unlikely for several more days. The miners
demand an increase Of so to 40 per cent.

can be effected with but slight sacrifice to
business interests Hearings for the varl-
Gus industrial groups that are likely to be
involved in the limitation orders will be held
before the regulations are framed,
