ing, labor unrest, radicalism, the re-
adjustment of the naticn TO a peace

At this point the President made ex-
tensive reference to the peace treaty
saying that the causes for unrest were
superficial rather than deep-seated and
arose frc failure of the government
to arrive speedily at a just and per.
manent peace.
A definite program to bring about
an improvement of conditions of labor

rights of men to bargain collectively
for human objects.

COAL RAT|ONs
SHORTER THAN
IN WAR TIME
Orders Put in Effect to Stave
Off Fuel Famine
INDUSTRIES MUST CLOSE
Only Essential Consumers viii Be
Permitted to Keep Wheels
in Motion

Washington, Dec, Wartime
restrictions on the nations use of
coal, more stringent even than those
applied during the war. were ordered
into effect today to stave off a fuel
famine.
Moved by reports of diminishing
coal stocks and growing danger of
distress in numerous sections. the
Government sought no compromise
with striking mine-workers whose
walkout forced the emergency, but
asked for national determination to
endure priyation and discomfort un-
Til coal mining was resumed on its
terms
Fuel Administrator Garfield act
ing in conjunction with the Railroad
Administration, gave notice that here
after only the essential consumers
included in the first five classes of
the war priorities list would be sup
piled with coal and asked the help Of
all State and municipal authorities TO
make rationing effective,
The order, which made national

local effect by regional coal com
mittees where the pinch OF fuel short
age has been felt, cuts off supplies
from all but transportation agencies,
which includes inland and eoastwise
shipping as we'll as railroads; Fed
eral and local government institu.
tions and establishments, including
concerns working on Government
contracts; public utilities, including
newspapers; and retail dealers. Rail
road Administration officials con-
ceded that it meant widespread ces-
sation of industrial operations, only
justified by the gravity Of the situ
alton
It is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes"
Dr. Garfield said in giving public
notification OF the step, Public utili
ties consuming coal should discon-
tinue to furnish power, heat and light
to non-essential industries and should
consume only sufficient coal 10 pro.
duce enough light. power and heat to
meet the actual urgent needs OF the
people. Advertising signs and dis
plays of various kinds neeessitating
the use of coal should be curtailed
and no coal should he distributed for
such purposes"
Officials said that the terms of the
order as given were framed to allow
the greatest possible variation in
local arrangements, so that emer.
gencies could be met by ACTION best
suited to that result.
These arrangements, it was sug-.
gested, would all he maintained
while they proved adequate, but the
Federal Government would hold a fin
al power to intervene by cutting off
coal supplies where rationing meas

Officials were hopeful that the ad.
vance of II per cent in mine work
ers' wages would result in getting
some of the men back to work. es-
pecially in view of the fact that coal
operators generally were backing up
the offer.

consider whether higher rates Of in

The "eNplanatiOn' which the Mexican government makes of its attitude toward out rages on American citizens will certainly dd its cause in the United States decided harm. |Of the fifty murders which took place during Ambassador tIetCher's regime not a word is said, and the statements of Commander Con zales in regard to the recent crimes in the Tampico region are so astonishingly made Quate as to raise grave doubts either Of his Comprehension of the situation or else of his desire to help amc}ioratc it. His story oi the killing of an American named Hughes, "aCCi- dentaIlv shot with his own revolver while
 resisting arrest" reads like fairy tale His declaration that four of the bandits who as sassinaed John CorrelI have been killed is ul- accompanied by any specific details such as would make 1t appear credible. The frank ad- mission that the government valves all res possibility for men who, like the Cheyenne s sailors, venture beyond d given point indicates a lack of control of the countryside which is at sharp variance with Carranza's boasts C. his power. Finally, the phrase "in lcN days we will positively capture them applied
 to the bandits alleged to have killed an Ameri
 
 glib promise unlikely to be carried out that 1t is more irritating than silence would have been. The publication of an old letter of Charles F. Hunt to the bandit Villa, even if the text be genuine, does not strengthen Mex ico's case nor weaken our own save by show ing that one or two individuals in this coun- |try have been absurdly folosh
 When will Mexico realize that the United States is not paping an international game of diplomacy for mere amusement: Is 1t not possible for the Carranza government to l1n- derstand that the murder of American Citi- zens is a serious matter which deserves to be taken seriously? Conditions such as exist and have existed below the border by no means make war inevitable; but they do require that Carranza shall stop making perfunctOry and casual promises which he is not likely to keci

FARMERS AND THE, LEAGUE,
Chicago Post. )

Several hundred granges and other agri- cultural organizations have adopted resolll- tions approving the league of nations coven- ant and urging it's ratification.
 But of even greater significance, perhaps, is the result of a canvass of OO farms papers, representing constituency covering 42 states. Of these 6o papers no less than @ answered questionnaire issued by the league to en- force peace, with an unqualified declaration in favor of the covenant as it now stands. Two gave conditional approval. One was non committal, and only one-a Tennessee publi- caton-was absolutely opposed.
 The farm periodicals are close to their prevailing sentiment of the communities they serve. Many editors wrote that their support of the covenant voiced the convictions of an overwhelming majority of their subscriber,
 The workers and the farmers are behind the league of nations. When that fact is fully realized in Washington the effect will be ap- parent in the attitude of those senators not too committed to opposition.

HAND CRENADES USED TO BOOST
 THRIFT DRIVES

SAN FRANCESCA Banks of the twelfth federal reserve district have ordered 60,0O0 hand grenadcs which were ready for shipment to the the armistiCe was signed and which have been turned over to the treas ury department for use as saving banks to stimulate thrift. The only alteration made in the hand gren- ades to covert them into savings banks was the removal of the INT coin way.
 The federal reserve bank of San Francisco, which is handling the dis tributOn of the grenades to the banks and trust companies, antiCi- pates orders aggrcgating 100000 of the war souvenirs Robt F. Smith. 1 director of the war loan organiza- ton for the twelfth federal reserve ] district, said, These AmeriCan-made hand grenades constitute one of the best souN enirS of the war one could | possibly get Some months ago an eastern firm managed to get some of them and disposed of them readily at one dollar each"
 l It is planned to distribute the grenade banks to the public thru banks and trust companies exclusive ! Iy. The only conditions imposed by | the treasury department are that i to gain ownership of a grenade:
 Persons l to F years of age must purchase one s War Savings stamp Persons l3 to Is must purchase at i least two $5 War Savings Stamps.
 Persons over IS years must buy either one $lOO or one 5000 Treas ury Savings Certificate which is the big brother to the War Savings stamp bearing the same four per cent interest compounded quarterly and running for five years.
 Naturally the supply of grenades is limited" said Director Smith. "Or ders for them will be filled in the order received and after the supply 1 is exhausted, no more will be manu 1 factured. Eastern banks and trust i companies have asked for hundreds ] of thousands of them. In all the war department had only l5,OO0, ,O00"
 The grenades are expected to ar rive in San Francisco within thirty days.
