RANKS OF MINERS
IN COAL FIELDS
STILL UNBROKEN
Number on Strike Swelled by
Others Leaving Posts-Drastic
Fuel Regulations in Force.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The ranks of the
union miners in the central competi-
tive field apparently remained un-
broken today, the thirty-first of the
strike in the bituminous coal fields
From other mining centers came re-
ports of miners leaving their posts
and only one report was received
of men responding to the posting
of the IA per cent Increase. But en-
couraging news to coal consumers
came from Kansas, where produc-
ton of coal in the strip pits of the
Pittsburgh field by volunteer work
ers was started, under troop pro-
lection.
Operators posted notices of the
wage increase ordered by the gov
ernment, but the blowing of the
whistle had no effect except at
Braidwood, ILL.,, where eight men
reported for work.
Want 81 Per cent Raise,
John L. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers OF
America, in statement, issued at
Springfield, ILL.,, declared the strike
will be settled only by agreement
on 81 per cent increase.
''The mines remained idle today
said Mr.. Lewis, "and this is suf-
ficient demonstration that the min
ers will not accept the IA per cent
increase granted by the fuel admin
istrator."
With the visible supply of coal
shrinking more rapidly on account
of the severe cold weather of the
last two days, regional coal commit
tees put into effect drastic fuel
regulations. These regulations were
more stringent than those applied
during the war and coal directors
believe they will aid in staving off
a fuel famine.
Chicago Schools Closed.
The public utilities commission OF
Illinois today issued an order for
bidding the further use of electricity
for street signs and show window
illumination. Earlier 80 Chicago
evening schools and 63 community
centers were ordered closed by the
board of education. 1t also is
planned to cut the school day an
hour.
In Kansas City the campaign to
save fuel was in full force. Business
houses opened at 9 a. m. and closed
at 4 p. m. Schools were closed and
amusement places not allowed to
open.
At the Hanna, Wyo., mine $50 men
struck and at Hudson, Lander and
Geldo, 500 additional men refused to
report to work.

Omaha faced with fortitude yes
terday its first day under the re-
strictions and regulations made
necessary by the coal famine, even
though cold wave, chilling the mer-
curry down to four degrees above
zero, visited the city,.
The retail stores, which were
open from 10 a. III. to 5 p. n., were
exceptionally busy during the alb
breviated working day and stead.
lily lowering temperature made the
coal question the real paramount is
sue of the day.
News of the calling off of the
switchmen's strike at Kansas City
heartened members of the local
coal committee, but following this
news was received that miners in
Wyoming went on strike yesterday
afternoon on account of dissatisfac-
tion with the IA per cent increase.
Order for Street Cars.
w. M. letters, chairman of the
sub coal committee, issued the fol-
lowing order with respect to the
distribution of street car traffic:
ITO avoid a misunderstanding in
regard to the order published in the
Sunday papers as to the hours for
Offices to be open:
1T is the order of the committee
that the offices are to be opened at
9:30 a. m. and closed at $50 p. M,
and, the office force dismissed at
$3.50 p. m.
Separate and apart from the saw
ing of fuel, light and power in the
buildings, it is necessary to relieve
the street railway company of peak
loads in the morning and evening
and to do this the hours of different
business occupations have been set
at different periods in order that the
employees of the various concerns
can use street cars at different hours
to reach their places of business in
the morning and return at different
hours in the evening, thus reducing
the demands upon the street railway
and upon the electric light and
power service.
Banks Close Early.
At the conclusion of meeting Of
the Omaha Clearing House associ-
alton yesterday afternoon, ]. H.
Millard, president, gave the fol-
lowing statement:
"The banks of Omaha will CO.
operate heartily with the request OF
the local board of the United States
fuel administration.
1T may work a temporary hard
ship upon business for while. but
no doubt all will regulate their at
fairs so as to be able to do their
banking between the hours of 1880
a. m. and I p. m, which hours have
been designated as the time the
banks will be open to the public"
1--WE find it necessary in normal
times to have our clerical force
work from two to three hours after
the bank is closed to take care OF
the days work and the early closing
hour is found necessary in order
that each days work may be cleaned
up"
