WAR POWERS IN

Governors of Midwestern
States Cannot Interfere
With Federal Authority.

+ WASHINGTON, Dec. s. - The war
powers of President Wilson and DR.. Car
! field TO deal with the coal emergency
have been brought TO the attention OF
! the governors in the mid-western states
who are attempting 10 settle the strike
and fuel crisis on basis of their own.
with tho intimation that the authority
Of the federal government must not be
interfered with.
NO INCREASE IE PRICE.
/ In a message to Gov. Cox Of Ohio and
! other governor, the attorney general
has announced the policy of the federal
government as being that of not permit
ting any increase in the selling price
! OF coal TO the consuming public and de-
claring Dr. Garheld's suggestion of a
fourteen per cent increase 60 the miners
/ 70 be a fair and equitable proposition.
MINERS WAGE ADVANCE.
Wage advance that may be granted
10 the miners" said Or. Garfield today
tho government has found that four
I teen per cent represents the sum be-
tween the per cent OF increase in the
cost OF living and tn per cent o. wage
increase since 1913. Consequently this
per cent has been suggested TO the
miners and operators as a basis OF set
tlement and has been accepted by the
operators.
Manifestly the federal government
cannot take cognizance of propositions
to settle this matter that enanate from
any other sources. particularly if they
carry with them the prospect of an in
creased cost or coal to the consuming
public
After careful consideration Of the
entire wage controversy the government
considers the increase of fourteen per
cent to he fair and eessatabie. and /. az
fuel administrator will not coun.enancc (
a larger increase"
DR. Garfield declined TO discuss the
report from Ohio thot Gov Cox is un-
derstood 10 sanction an increase Of /
twenty-five per cont 10 the miners.
I can only say that the fuel admin /.
istration is seeking settlement on
nationwide basis" Or. Garfield de- (,
clared.
The text o. the message to the govern \
ors Is not available at the department \
Of justice. Indeed no one there will l
admit that the message has been sent I
Or. Garfield was almost as reticent. but 4
saying. however that his authority as

ment of the president acting under his
war powers. is competent TO deal with \
the situation throughout the whole 4
country. and that outside interference.
either by the governors Of states or hy
other individuals with attempts at set
tlement OF the strike that have been
made by the government Will add serious
to matters.
The federal government is following
the principle in seeking a settlerpent of
the strike that the public must not be
called upon to pay an increased price
for coal under any wage advance"

Widespread Complaint Throughout
The Country. A Hint of Still
Further Increase.

WASHINGTON, D. CIV d e.
spread complaints against the 20 per
cent increase in telegraph rates were
answered today by officials of the
postoffice department with the state
ment that the new charges will not
prove harmful to business of the
country.
Fears are general in many quar-
ters that an additional levy of ap-
proximately $4O,OOO,OOO on the bus
isness of the country, unofficial esti-
mate of what the 20 percent. advance
means, coming almost simultaneous
ly with the additional taxes provided
by congress in the $6,000,000,00O
tax levy law approved February "a
will prove harmful in the extreme.
The point is made that business, just
reaching the stage where it is able,
on basis of the new tax act, to adjust
it's affairs for the ensuing months,
now awakes to find an additional
tax of $40,000,000 that must be met.
The answer of the postoffice de-
partment is that the new telegram
charges do not in the slightest degree
threaten harm to business.

FLU'S TOLL IN ARCTIC FIFTY
PER CENT. OF POPULATION
The Inhabitsnts of One Settlement
Are Entirely Wiped Out.

MONTREAL.-Fifty per cent. of
the inhabitants of northern Labrador
persisted during the winter from an
epidemic of influenza, smallpox and
measles, according to dispatches to
the Montreal Star, sent by mail to
Battle Harbor and by wireless to St.
Johns, N. f.
Earlier reports had shown that an
epidemic on the southern section of
the coast had cost the lives of rs per
cent. of the natives, but first reports
from the northern sections are con-
tanned in today's dispatches. They tell
of forty Observation-Disclosures wintering
on the coast for the purpose of trade
having persisted at Main, with forty
odd Eskimo representing nearly the
whole population of that settlement;
Okak, with a population of over 200,
is entirely wiped out. At Hebron 200
died.
1t is estimated that only 400 inhab-
itants from Grooswater bay to Main
are left alive, the dispatches say, but
the full extent of the calamity will
not be known until the opening of
navigation in the summer. Medical
aid was unobtainable.
