Mine Owners Told
to "Help Win War"

Altoona, Pa. July IT. - Federal
Fuel Administration representatives
told more than 500 members of the
Central Pennsylvania Coal Producers
Association, in quarterly conference
here, the responsibility resting upon
them in the prosecution of the war
was second only in Importance to the
work of the men facing the Huns in
battle.
James B. Neale, director of produc-
tion. said the greatest menace to war
work is shortage of coal. He assert
ed President Wilson is being urged
to issue proclamation to operators
and miners, fixing a standard of pro-
duction. At the end of a period
three months, probably-all who at
tain the standard will get a badge of
efficiency. Failure to attain this
badge Will be mark of dishonor.
He appealed to the operators to do
their part: BE seen more about your
workings" he urged. Throw off
your coats, and shirts, IL necessary.
and set an example which Is bound to
be an incentive to your men. Quit
playing golf and riding in pleasure
cars, discourage holidays, picnics and
outings that will cause layoffs."
A. W. Galloway, manager of dis
tribution. warned the operators that
the ghost of government control is
lowering over them. The moment
they fail to supply fuel the govern
ment Will take over the mines He
appealed to them to carry out every
order of the Fuel Administration. no

Germans Cannot Deliver
Goods, Says Army Expert

Washington, July 17.-"The news
improves all the time. 1t looks as if
the German leaders cannot deliver
the goods.
THE statement that Rupprecht
has lent a number of his divisions,
thereby weakening his reserve, is
very significant. 1t indicates that the
Germans are desperate in their ef-
forts to make headway against the
French and Americans.
1T looks as if the German often
sive had been broken to pieces. We
cannot make up our final decision,
however, until we get fuller official
information"
Our Army Chiefs JubiIant
This is the verdict of one high in
authority, who allowed himself to be
beguiled from the position of con-
servatism that is the official attitude
of our military departments.
This comment was made after the
receipt of message detailing the re-
capture of ST Agnan and La Cha
pelle by French and American
troops, and reciting that the Ger
mans had been so we'll mauled that
they were unable to renew a general
attack and confined their efforts to
swell local increases into what could
be narrated in their home reports as
victories.
1t was rather difficult for the
American Army chiefs to restrain
their enthusiasm as hour after hour
passed without any indication that
the fifth German drive had recover
ed its momentum.

COURT REFUSES
AID TO MEMBERS
Order Reinstating Expelled
Men Refused by Judge
McCarrell

Members of Lodge San Mehele di
Serrastretta No. S29, Sons of Italy,
of Steelton, who were expelled for
alleged attempts to cause rebellion
and other trouble in the lodge, were
refused a court order reinstating
them by Judge S. j. M. McCarrell in
an opinion handed down late yes
terday.
The case was brought before the
county court in a bill of equity ask
ing for an order reinstating the ex-
PEELED members. The plaintiffs were
the members who had been charged
with violating laws or the order and
the defendants were the present
members of the lodge and the MEM
bers of the Grand Executive Council
of the State of Pennsylvania. of the
Order of the Sons of Italy.
According to testimony in the
case the trouble in the Steelton
branch of the lodge originated when
a vote was called to decide whether
it would sever it's connection with
the state organization which it had
Joined several years ago. The plain
tiffs in the case, 1t is claimed, were
the principal cause of dissatisfaction
which followed and charges to that
effect were brought against them
ton of the lodge.
An answer to these charges was
filed by the members who were ac-
cused, but they did not appear at
the hearing. The Grand Council
then issued an order sustaining the
charges and eXpelling the members.
According to the rules of the lodge
within one month an expelled men,
ber has the right to appeal from
the order. No such appeal was taken
and as a result the lodge rules make
the council order absolute.
Judge McCarrell in reviewing the
situation says: 1T is unfortunate
that these plaintiffs did not respond
personally when notified of the
charges against them, and submit
their proofs to sustain the allega-
tions contained in their written an
swers. The reason given for not ap-
pealing indicates lack of confidence
in the tribunal and for that reason
they did not enter the appeal. This
is no valid excuse. They have not
exhausted the remedy provided by
the rules and regulations of the or
der of which they were members,
and in accordance with all the Penn
sylvania decisions we are powerless
to aid them. 1t may be that the
appellate tribunal of the order un-
der the circumstances of the case
may be willing to grant some re-
lief. We have no authority to in
quire into the merits of the charges
against them, as these charges have
been passed upon by the tribunal Sc
lected by the plaintiffs themselves.
Being without authority to aid
the plaintiffs in the matter. we are
constrained TO direct that the bill be
dismissed at their costs" Judge Nc
Carrell, in his opinion, quoted rulings
from Supreme and Superior Court
cases in similar disputes.
