ADJUSTMENT OF
WAGES Will BE
LEFT TO BOARD
Brotherhoods Agree Not to
Strike Until the Matters
in Dispute Have Been
Passed Upon.

Washington. Jan. "A wage ad-
Justnient board, to adjust railroad
wage controversies during governments
operation. will be appointed within 80
days, 1t was announced following d
conference between Director General
McAdoo and brotherhood chiefs here
this afternoon.
The brotherhoods. at the same time,
have agreed not to strike until this
board has passed on my case in dis.
pute.
The boards findings are not binding
unless ratified by the director general.
The board will consist Of five mem
bers. 1t Is believed.
TO ISSUE STATEMENT.
A formal statement of details Of
agreement will be made tonight by
McAdoo.
The understanding was reached fol-
lowing three hour conference yes
terday and an extended one today. 1t
is the outgrowth of suggestions made
to- the brotherhood men by the presi-
dent on their recent visit to the White
House.
Appointment OF the wage adjustment
board, supported by both administra
ton and employes. is believed to have
removed one OF the most perplexing
problems faced by the new railroad
administration. While it is understood
no pledge has been given strikes.
should the boards rulings be consid-
cred unfavorable, 1t is nevertheless
thought that bearing the workers en-
dorsement, the plan virtually amounts
to strike embargo for the remainder
of the war.
Director General McAdoo again
heard grievances of brotherhood chiefs
and outlined their new relations with
the government. A definite scale of
wage increases was expected to be
made public shortly

Coal Situation in New York
Far From Relieved and
Ice Interferes With Fuel
Movement.

New York, Jan. 4.-Temperature
along the Atlantic seaboard dropped
again today and with it coal conditions
in New York became critical.
The thermometer touched two below
zero early today. The coal situation is
far from relieved. Long lines of shiv-
ering men and women stood at coal
yards begging for coal. It wasn't to
be had The harbor and the rivers are
jammed wieh ice. The navy depart
ment was appealed to in an effort to
break the jam. Tugs and other small
boats have been working constantly.

release frozen-in coal ,barges, but with
little result.

blazes in the below zero weather. Dur
ing last night, when nine fires were
under way, two big water mains burst
from the increased pressure necessary
The basement of the Postal Telegraph
company building was flooded and
the telegraph company put out of bust
ness for several hours.
SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Thirty-one schools are now closed
as there is no prospect of their being
re-opened soon. Hotels are jammed
with families unable to heat their
homes or apartments. Thousands of
oil and gas stoves have been purchased.
Train service is completely demor-
allied and little oil is being moved.
New Jersey towns are not only
without coal but there is a near-gas,
oil and water famine.
Charitable organizations In New
York are swamped with appeals for
aid. The constant cry Is for coal.
BOATS REoUIsITloNED.
Additional steel boats were requisi-
toned by A. H. Smith, director Of
railroads for the eastern district, today
to smash up the ice jams to release
some Of the ice locked coal.
Shipping is practically tied up by the
cold and coal shortage. There are
1o1 vessels in port unable to leave be-
cause of lack of coal. Meantime
freight Is piling high on docks and
piers.

OLDER MEN TO BE
INCLUDED IN THE.
DRAFT FOR ARM Y
Provost General Crowder
Recommends That the Age
Be Advanced to 40 or As
Years Only Young Men
for First Line.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Increasing the
draft age from 81 to 40 or 45 years is
one of the "probabilit of the future"
according to Provost Marshal General
-Crowder in his comprehensive report
to the secretary of war.
The draft of the older men should
be mainly for skilled war labor but
also to distribute the burdens of the
war.
There are plenty of young men for
the first line fighting, Crowder has
shown. but he also points out there Is
a Gengcr of 'injuring the coming gen.
Grafton" by taking away too many Of
tile "aggressively patriotic young
nen."
YOUNG MEN BEST.
Out of the 10.6S3,249 men between
the ages Of 81 and As, Crowder esti-
mates 3.525,472 are unmarried and that
80 per cent of the latter figure, or
1,3s9,3ss would be accepted for service
under the present regulations. Ad-
vocating this legislation, Crowder
said:
1.-The younger men are generally
deemed to make the soundest and
most pliable military material. On the
other hand, the older men are more
likely to yield in large numbers to the
occupational skill so necessary In the
varied compositions Of the modern
army.
Under the national selective serv-
ice system which seeks to distribute
the burden equally among the willing
and unwilling, it is important If not
essential to include the older men be-
cause the smaller proportion Of them
Is likely to enlist"
CARD INDEX SYSTEM.
Under the new system card index
of the abilities of every man will be
complied in Washington after the
ouestionnaireS are all returned. In
this way the government will be able
to put its finger on men Of certain
trades just when they are needed.
"The whole labor problem can thus
be controlled" Crowder points out,
adjustments forced where right and
proper that they should be forced and
in this respect this nation will be in
the most advantageous position ever
occupied by a belligerent power in this
or any other war"

Members of the House Mis-
sion to Europe Expect
Conflict to Continue for
Two Years at Least.
Foundations for Victory to
Be Laid in 1918, but Un-
less There Is a Political
Collapse in Germany Long
War May Be Expected.
BY CARL d. GRoAT.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Members of
the House mission believe the United
States and the allies in 1918 can lay q
firm foundation for victory.
But they hold out no hope--so far
as the military situation now appears
that the war will actually end in
less than two years.
Political or psychological elements
may bring quicker collapse. they say
but experts declare the nations at war
must proceed with a two or three year
fight in mind and lay their plans for
even a longer struggle to be on the
safe side.
FOR UNITY AND SPEED.
While some of the mission impress.
sions were gathered under pessimistic
circumstances the general tone OF their
deductions as to the future is hopeful.
They believe that too much emphasis
cannot be laid on the need of unity Of
action and purpose and, above all, on
speed.
To this end. much thought is being
given to ways and means for increasing
Americas fighting contingents. All
this depends on ships.
One of the first plans considered
was to stow some troops on every ship
tramp, tanker or what not-crossing
the war zone. While the addition
would not be enormous-perhaps 1000
a month. it would help some, authori-
ties say. The war department. how
ever, rejected this plan. Now there is
talk of getting additional allied ship
ping through pooling arrangements
though it is doubtful that such help
can come from this source until u boa.
