The fuel administrator for the state
of New York warns his constituents
that every indication points to the
fact that the coal strngency will be
even more acute next winter than it is
at present" This can mean only that
President Wilson is doggedly deter
mined to retain the inefficient Garfield
in office and that the foolish policy Is
to be continued for fixing coal prices
at figure where the small mine oper-
ators can not operate their properties.
The greater part of all our troubles
about fuel and food spring from the
attempt to regulate prices in defiance
of economic law and of practical con-
dtons. If Secretary Lane had been
permitted to go on with the arrange
ment which he made with the coal
men last summer there would have
been no coalless days this winter

DID THE KAISER HAVE A HAND
IN SHIPYARD STRIKE?

1t was not until President Wilson
personally informed the leader of the
striking shipyard carpenters that he
would not give him a hearing until the
men had returned to work pending an
adjustment that the strike was called
off The leaders of the strike knew
that the government would consider
and adjust the grievances without
calling the strike, just as /. has done
in scores of other cases, and no doubt
the carpenters as a rule would have
preferred to remain at work both from
considerations of loyalty and because
they were confident that the govern
ment would deal fairly with them
without resorting to strike. Then
why was the strike called? 1t looks
very much like the work of the agents
of the kaiser. Ships are the crying
need of the government, ships to
transport soldiers to France, ships to
carry supplies to them when there.
and equally important ships to pro-
vide our allies with food and NUM-
tons. Without ships we can not win
the war; Where could the kaiser strike
a more effective blow at our war pre-
parations than in the shipyards of the
east? 1t is impossible to believe that
loyal and patriotic workmen would
drop their tools and refuse to work for
their country in the present crisis ex-
cept through the sinister influence of
leaders who are serving the kaiser.

the carpenters in the NewYork ship.

PRINTERS ARE PATRIOTIC.

illinois State Register)
The printers of the country are max
ing record for intense loyalty. Any
enc who wants evidence of this fact
should visit newspaper office, walk
down the battery of linotypes and in
troduce the subject of war. He will
find warm responses from the type ar
lists expressed in words of no uncer-
tain meaning. While some may be ex-
pressed with an emphasis of language
that would require censorship by the
copy reader, who yields the blue pen
Gil, it would not be censored for it's
lack of Americanism.
The printer acts as he talks. The
International Typogra phical union has
issued a booklet showing the war rec
ord of it's members. There are now
1913 members of the organization in
the military service of the United
States. The list of the subordinate
typographical unions reporting mem
bers is not complete, and sit is estim-
ated that at least 500 additional MEM
bers have enlisted or have been called
under the universal service law" Not
counted are several hundred printers
apprentices. Fifty-five members of
the union have been killed on the bat
tlefelds or have died in service since
the beginning of the war. Dependents
of these have been paid $17,O25 by the
union. The executive council has
subscribed for 100000 Of Liberty bonds
and subordinate unions and individ-
ual members have taken 100000
worth.
