Mine 0peratorsr From All
Sections Here to Work Out
Details of Waue Increase

Mine operators from all parts of the
country gathered here today to work
out details of the IA per cent wage in
crease suggested by the government
for the bituminous coal miners. While
the sessions officially were restricted
to operators located in the central
competitive field. representatives from
the other sections were on hand to
gather facts on which to base their
own adjustments.
1t was said that the findings of the
central field committee probably
would be submitted to Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield for ratification, but
that several days would be needed to
work out problems presented.
Continued optimism in official circles
was marked, although production fig
ures available showed no increase in
daily tonnage. This is now estimated
semi-officially at better than 40 per
cent of normal. Operators represent
ing the Alabama fields. gathered for
the wage discussion, said production
which had been normal there had
dropped to about 80 per cent, union
representa- being active in at
tempting to call men out. Central
Pennsylvania mine owners reported
partial production, while West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee repre-
sentatives were confident that the mine
outputs soon would be back to normal
In the central district, however.
hardly a pound of coal is being pro-
duced except by wagon mines and a
strip pit or two, operators said.

In reporting the liberation of Rowe
the vice consul said:
The government troops and the

Cabrera said that Jenkins might be
liberated on bond, but that the Ameri-

1T is inexplicable." Cabrera was
quoted as saying. that the American
government should have requested the
immediate release of Jenkins, even be-
fore the court decision was rendered

REVISE PLAN TO:ExTEND
MARYLAND AVENUE EAST

For the extension of Maryland ave-
nue. east of 18th street to Anacostia
river, the District Commissioners to-
day submitted to Chairman Mapes of
the House District committee. 2 re-
yised proposal, with recommendations
that it should be passed at an early
date.
This report points out that Mary
land avenue is one of the main ave-
nues radiating from the Capitol, and
furnishes a direct route to Anacostia
Park, which is being rapidly devel-
oped.
Under the highway act the Commits
sioners are authorized to institute
condemnation proceedings, and to as
sess the entire costs against abutting
property owners as improvements. In
view of the fact that Maryland ave-
nue. is $50 feet wide. the Commission
ers believe that to carry on this work
under the general act would be in
equitable to the property owners af-
fected. Therefore. they recommend
that one-half of the cost be assessed
as benefits. They point out that usu-
ally where the entire costs are assess.
ed it is on streets ninety feet wide AS
Maryland avenue is 160 feet, they said
a more equitable assessment would
probably be nine-sixteenths of the cost.

BIG TURBINE INSTALLED
IN BENNING POWER PLANT

The largest turbine ever constructed
in this territory has been completed
and installed in the Benning power
plant of the Potomac Electric Power
Company. according to an announce
ment made today by company officials.
The unit alone is said to have cost
100000, while the total cost. includ-
ing the adding of wing to the main
building, will be in excess Of 100000,
according to an estimate of L. E. Sim
clair, general superintendent of the
company.
This turbine said Mr.. Sinclair al
though the largest yet installed, is
expected to prove economical in it's
operation. Some of the more expen-
sive units will be held in reserve when
the new one is switched on"
The new turbine is of 10000 kilo-
watts, or 10000 horsepower, and an
entirely new section had to be added
on to the main building for it's ac-
commodation.s It was manufactured
and installed by the General Electric
Company and will be put into oper-
alton after a final inspection by Off
Gals of this company.
Mr.. Sinclair said that it would prob
ably be three or four days before the
necessary inspection and final adjust
ments would be made, and the new
turbine switched into line.

RAILROAD MESSAGE
DEPENDS ON BILLS
President Will Not Begin Its
Preparation Until After
Conferences.

President Wilson will not begin
preparation of his special message to
Congress on the railroad situation
until Director General Hines has
conferred with Senator Cunmins and
Representative F,sch. Chairmen of the
Senate and House interstate COM
merce committees. on the pending
railroad bills. it was said today at
the White House.
1t was intimated that the status of
the legislation might be such that
the President would not regard it as
necessary to address Congress on the
subject. Leaders i'm Congress are
determined to press the bills, but
they have expressed doubt that their
ena ctment could be completed before
the Christmas holidays.
Provides for Return of Roads.
Each of the measures provides for
the return of the roads to private
operation within a specified time. but
they are different in other respects,
particularly as to the method of deal
ing with strikes and lockouts and
these differences will have to be COM
posed in conference.
In view of the Presidents statement
to Congress yesterday that he expect
ed to treat the railroad question IN
separate message. there has been
speculation i'll official and railroad
circles as to whether he intended to
adhere to his previously announced
plan to return the roads to private
operation by January l.
Some officials and railroad men are
of the personal opinion that the Pres
ident may await action of Congress
on the pending legislation. Those at
the White House refuse. however, 10
comment.
Actual consideration of the rail-
road bill was begun in the Senate yes
terday and it is the purpose or Sell
ator Cummins. chairman of the IN
terstate commerce committee. to keep
the bill before the Senate daily until
it is disposed of.
Senator Cummins, presenting the
report of the Senate committee on
the railroad bill, explained that it was
the committees hope that 1T might be
substituted for the measure recently
adopted by the House.
Senator Cummins said his only rea-
son for advocating private ownership
and operation of the railroads was
because he believed that only in that
way could the best service be given
Discussing the financial situation
of the railroad administration, Sem
ator Cummins said that if on January
l the railroads paid the goVernm ent
all they owe and the governm ent
paid the roads all it owed the balance
in favor of the roads would be some
thing more than s650,00o,000.

EARLY-HOUR BUYING
FAVORED BY CLERKS
Government Employees Prefer
to Do Christmas Shopping
Before Late Afternoon.

That thousands of government en-
ploycs in the various departments are
enthusiastically in favor of making
their Christmas purchases early i'll
the day with comfort. instead of wait
ing until 40 o'clock, when the down
town stores become congested with
shoppers, was the information given
The Star today.
Every day hundreds of requests
come to the attention of the chief
clerks of the department: asking
that an hour or more time off be al
lowed employees to do their christ
mas shopping. In every instance OF
this kind the time allotted is deduct
ed from the annual leave allowed -
law.
Endorsed by Treasury Employer
EMPLOYEES of the Treasury DeUrt-
ment heartily indorsed the 'shop-ctriy-
in-the-day" suggestion. and many nave
signiticd their intention of making thclr
Christmas purchases in the early hours
of the day.
Although there are some employees or
the Treasury Department., who. owing
TO the nature of their work. cannot pos
siblv be excused for even a half-hour,
instances of this kind are isolated.
Chief Clerk Myers. discussing today
with a Star reporter tho suggestion
10 create n city-widf interest in
shopping early. said any cmploye of
the Treasury Department with the eN-
ception of those persons who cannot
possibly be spared owing to the i'm
portant nature of their work, may he
excused for "A half hour or an hour
to do their shopping.
Further Discussion of Topic.
There are a few of our employees
who cannot possibly be spared" said
Mr.. Myers. For example. | have
several clerks at work at the present
time on very important matter. 10
must be finished by tonight. These
clerks cannot possibly leave th"ir
task until the job is completed. EuL
cases of this kind are few and far
between.
1T also depends upon whether or
not the division chiefs need the serv-
ices of their employees if time OF
can be allowed. The Treasury De-
partment. in common with every
other government department. gives
its employees half holiday on the
day before Christmas. Much of their
shopping can be done at that time.
it would seem.
But | want to say right here that
it has been found that many of our
employes-especially those who have
been in the service a number of years
and realize the value of early Christ
mas shoppng-have already made
their purchases. They bought their
gifts weeks ago.
Rule in War Department.
Principal Clerk Hoadley of the War
Department said that allowing time
off to employees rests exclusively with
ir the province of the various bureau
and division chiefs.
Bureau and division heads may. ie
they see fit. allow their employees time
off to do their Christmas shopping"
Mr. Hoadley said. Matters of this
kind do not come to the attention of
the principal clerk.
