Surely here was the wolf that had

Hireling! How he detested the word.
Then Smith looked into the calm de.

the question was answered. sE,
He was afraid to be afraid. i
Two nights later young Smith left
the shelter Of the trench and rambled
out into No Mans Land in search OF
la wounded comrade. 1t was one of
the lads who had cussed him on board
the ship during the. submarine at

crawled was under continuous shell

A hundred yards from the trench

He moved his belt up under his arms,
tied his own belt to it, passed the
loop over his shoulders and crawled
back dragging the wounded man with
him. AS he slowly went back piece
of shrapnel from bursting shell tore
into the flesh of his leg. Arriving at
the trench both men were carried to
the rear on stretchers.

oher MeXicans formerly not admis-
sible was reached in order to assist
IN meeting the present shortage of

file applications with either an i'm

WHAT Is THE
ANSWER TO THE
FUEL ENIGMA?

INDIANAPOLIS, June 20. - The
United Mine Workers Journal, in
calling attention to the seriousness
of the fuel proposition, charges that
the miners are not responsible for
the threatened shortage and says:
at would seem that since the fuel
administration and everybody else
with authority or knowledge of the
situation has issued warning after
warning about the coal shortage
next winter, the people would begin
to realize they are face to face with
a s@,;ous condition. But the fuel
administ alton finds it necessary to
remind the people of this fact day
after day.
"Whatever may be the reason for
this situation, it can not be charg
ed that the coal miners are at fault.
They want to work full time. Idle
ness of mines and short production
IS not their fault.
'If the mines are operated, and
if sufficient car supply is furnish
I'd, the miners will do their full
nart.
Miners can not dig coal when
mines are closed down. They can
not produce the maximum tonnage
when there is only a minimum car
supply.
The fuel administration now esti-
mates that 80.000,000 tons more coal
will be required in this country in the
l918-19i9 year than was produced in
the previous year, and it says the
demand may even be greater than
that figure.
"The total output last year was
only 50,OOO0O0 tons larger than in
the year before.
"All of this means that those in
1ustries that are not engaged in ac-
tual war work will suffer War
needs will come first.
at is to be hoped that conditions
may be improved so that the miners
may work full time and produce the
coal to keep all industries in opera
ton and keep the homes warm. If
not then the only answer, as the fuel
administration says, VIII be found
in conservation. 1t will mean that
every coal consumer, large and small,
must practice economy and make his
ccal go as far as possible.
"This will work a hardship to many
concerns and families who will be
required to get along with less steam
and less heat.
"But it is not the fault of the

ASK TWO PAY DAYS
A MONTH FROM CITY

Employees of Everett's police,
street and fire departments petition
ed the council on Tuesday morning,
June %, to inaugurate a change in
the method of paying wages to the
extent of directing two pay days a
month instead of a single pay day.
The literally signed document as
serted that war conditions and the
fact that purchasers of goods and
material are required to pay cash
for what they obtain makes the de-
mand for double pay day impera-
tive. 1t is expected that the com
missioners will grant the request.

FARGO, N. D., June 29.--In dis
cussing the support the trade unions
are giving the government, the Cour-
ier says:
"The United States government has
adopted an official position regard
ing organizations of labor. This po-
sition has been established by the ma
tional war labor board, and has been
formally approved and indorsed by
President Wilson.
"This position recognized the right
of working men to form organiza-
tions in their own interests. The
policy of the administration in fact,
has been to encourage the organiZa-
ton of workingmen in time of war.
This position is in sharp distinction
to the action of some public authori-
ties and the position of some en-
ployers that no organization work
should be carried on during the war.
at is not mere sentimentality to-
ward labor that dictates this course.
1t is good sense and patriotism. The
