HIGH COURT SAYS
 DRAFT OBJECTIONS ARE: .TO0 FRIVOLOUS
Justice White Says Consti- tution Gives Power to
 Send Men Anywhere.
(Hy Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 7.--Every conten- tion raised against the selective draft act was swept aside by the supreme court today in unanimous opinion de. livered by Chief Justice White uphlod- ing the law. Constitutional authority to enact statute and to send forces to fight the enemy wherever he may be found, the court held, lies in the clause of the constitution giving con- gress the power to declare war and to raise and support armies.
 "As the mind can not conceive an army without the men to compose it, said the chief justice, "on the face of the constitution the objection that it does not give power to provide for such men would seem to be too friv- olous for further notice."
 The opinion then proceeded to take up and definitely dispose of each of the many questions raised by council for the convicted persons whose ap- peals brought the law before the court. No action was taken by the court in the several pending cases in- volving charges of conspiracy to pre- vetn the carrying out of the purpose of the law.

To-day is e'COal Tag Day.!
 Fuel Meeting at (. B. Shops

As an universal effort to bring about the. closest observance of the necessity for the coHseIvatlen of fuel State Fued Administrator Ii. C. Couch announced yesterday that today will be designated as "Goal Tag Day, D and that every coal shovel ill this city in use at the various industrial plants will be tagged with the label of the national fuel administration.
 To explain the purposes of Coal Tag Day." MT. Couch will hold pa triotic meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Cotton Belt shops, at which time he will address the en,- ployes of this railroad and will im- press upon them the importance of saving every lump of coal possible and will ask their assistance in deal ing with the fuel situations in this state. An impressive prog am, of a patriotic nature, will be carried out at the meeting this afternoon and N. J. Gaunt, a prominent local attor- ney, will also make an address to the wOrkmen. It is probable that other talks will be made. but the speakers had not been announced last night. MT. Couch will t* accom- panied by a number of business men, and it is hoped that regular fuel conservation "rally" will be held.

U. $. 10 LIMIT COAL THAT MAY
 BE EXPORTED
Only Shipments Needed for w ar and to Exchange
 Will be Permitted.

Washington, Jan. 7.-,America' coal exports this year will be limited strict ly to shipments to be used for war purposes and to those necessary in exchange for commodities the United States must have. In announcing this policy tonight Fuel Administrator Gar field declared that in no event will exports be permitted to equal in vol ume those of the year just ended.
 The fuel administration turned over to the war trade board today figures showing the amount of coal the coun- try can spare and asked the bord to exercise supervision over it's distri- button abroad. The amount available for export was not made public. Canada will be accepted from the regu- latons, and shipments to the Domin. ion will be left in the hands of the administration.
 The new export means that England will be called upon to supply domes- tic users of France and Italy.
 The arrangement was worked out today in a conference between the fuel administrator, state department and the war trade board officials.
 Prices of export coal, altho $1.25 a ton higher than domestic prices, still are lower than the prices obtaining in other export countries.
 Coal Producers Profit.
 Washington, Jan. Profits of many coal operators in the Middle West were materially increased by coal prices fixed by the government, the senate Investigating committee was told today, by Clifford Thorne, who said he had made an exhaustive study of the situation, and David l.. Wing, an examiner of the federal trade commission.
 Much of the shortage of coal now felt over the country was attributed by Thorne to excessive shipments to the Northwest, the tendency of opera tors to hold back from higher prices" !" increased consumption, interference thru natural channels. and au inade- quate ear supply.

fallfoads running into thi; city will all bear the sayly colorcd lttle' tag and the firemen will lave before them constant reminders of the fac, that the conservation of coal is very essential fer the winning of this war by the allies and will be requested to save at least one shovc!iul of tine fuel each day, at least, and to waste absolutely none of the commodity.
 Mr. Couch stated yesterday tnat members of the fuel administration have figures which state that if Coal Tag Day. is observed in the right manner and carried out with the proper patriotism and one shovel full saved each day by the large con sumels, on each train and at each boiler. it will mean the saving of 25- oo0,O00 tons of coal within 12 months time and will be equivalent to half of the shortage which now exists.
 The tags will be distributed by members of 'Mr. Couch's staff early today and each fireman in the city will be impressed with the import ance of the saving of fuel. Mir. Couch hopes to accomplish much in this state, and especially in this city and it is very probable that his depart ment will make a very creditable showing in the effort to conserve fuel

STRIKE MEDIATION KEEPS THOUSANDS
 WORKING FOR WAR
Has Kept Labor Disputes From Vitally Effecting
 War Preparations.

Washington, Jan. 7.-iMediation of trade disputes Ey representatives of the department of labor has been suc- cessful in keeping at work thousands of men whose labor is vital to the war program, according to report covering the last three months made public today by the department.
 Insistence On a continuance of working negotiations has caused a minimum Of loss in the output of factories affected by the disputes.
 In three months ended December 31. the departments good offices in voked in 244 cases. including ,117 strikes. 104 controversies and 23 lock- outs. Mediators settled 13S amicably and failed to settle only six. Local agencies adjusted Is cases before the departments mediators arrived. There remain pending S2 cases of re- cent origin.
 The total number of workers di- rectly involved in the disputes of three months was 130,010, while 251,- 706 more were affected indirectly, and would have be6h thrown out of work had the difficulties of the other not been settled.
 Of the 82 cases pending IA strikes, nine are lockouts and 59 are con trOversies. the total number of work. CTS affected being 35,000.
 Only about 6.000 have quit work. however, including those affected by three minor coal strikes, the only difficulties in that industry now be- fore the department. Other trades on strike are the weavers. machinists, hat makers and boilermakers, scat tered throughout the country. None of the disputes apparently has more than local significance Optimism was expressed that the fine spirit of CO., operation" shown by both capital and labor would soon bring about settle ments.

CHICAGO TRAFFIC
 STILL. BLOCKED BY
 SNOW IN STREETS
Gar Tracks Only Passages Thru Heaped Nnow Drifts
 in City.
(By Associated Prpss.)

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Twenty-four hours after abatement of the unpnecedento ed Sunday blizzard, Chicago streets were still badly impeded. Traffic for the most part was confined to the paths made by street cars, which made un- certain progress through canyons of snow heaped and drifted on either side. Bv offering bonuses, the city obtained laborers for the street clean ing department, but although private firms lent men and carts, the snow piles heaped by the greatest single storm on record had not perceptibly decreased by nightfall. Automobiles stalled last night remained fast to- night, as the demand for help had far outnumbered the wrecking crews available at garages and livery sta bles. Taxicab companies confined their services to streets made passable by the street cars. Newspaper deliv- cries were curtailed 25 to 50 per cent and one afternoon paper abandoned an edition this afternoon because it was unable to distribute it to agents.
 The weather bureau offered no re- lief, predicting snow furries and low temperature. Passenger trains ar rived from one to eight hours late and the schedules of freight trains were obliterated. The steel mills which fringe the southern end of Lake Mich igan, were practically idle owing to snow in the switch yards and inability of thousands of their workers to reach the plants. At the stock yards only 200 of the HOO carloads expected made their way through the drifts. South, Water street, the home of the city's produce commission firms, pre- sented an unusual scene of desertion, there being no produce or poultry from the country. Even without fur ther snowfall it was said that week would be required to restore the streets to normal.

Washington, Jan. 1-EI :dence of tne care the German government is taking to direct public opinion to de- ce!ve not only it's enemies hut it's own people Is contained in a series cf secret instructions issued to the Ger man press by the censorship which have fallen into the hands of the state department. These instructions cover 8 period Of less than th"ee months Ia t year, but they tell very com plete story of how the Teutonic war lords control public opinion. Own CTS of newspapers and publishers generally not only are limited as to the character of articles printed, but in many cases are told W hat they should publish and in what terms. Labor disturbances, fooa shorta ge ard difficulties in securing and dis tributing coal are placed under the ban, but the newspapers are urged to give prominence to enemy losses and to certain prescribed interpretations of international situation. \ hint of the relentlessness of the authorities in punishing infracticns Of orders is contained in one notice, in which at tention is called to the fact that the police "have again been notified to seek out and to bring to ruthless punishment criginators and com- municators of untrue military, po- litical, financial r. and economic re- ports"
 Warning on |. $. Preparations.
 Interesting light is thrcwn upon the Berlin view of the preparations fo, ir y,,;4 para graph of an order dated June 6 last. It says:
 "While the news about Americas war preparation, such as the origin and outfitting of an army one mil lion strong to reinforce the French English front, is looked upon in that for as bluff the spreading of which may unfavorable in the opinion Of the German people, yet the facts must not be overlooked on the other hand that the United States. with the support of it's capacity for material and industrial management, is arm ing itself for war with great energy and tenacity. The war preparations in America are, therefore, as was intimated in the reichstag at the time, not at all to be made little of, but must be taken seriously, without on that account being made a source of worry.'
 Another dated June 9, says:
 Petit Parisienne informs us that five American divisions, numbering 125,000 men, may be expected in France in autumn of 1917. It is urg ently requested not to reproduce this information without some comment. We do not underestimate the ability of America to accomplish things, but must not, or the other hand. over- estimate it. In order to bring divi- sion over from America, 75,o0o tons must make the trip twice, therefore, from the mere fact of lack of space, the transportation of such body of troops within certain fixed time limits is impossible. Moreover it is impossible to train these troops prop erly by autumn"
