TON CONCERNING FUEL SIT.
UATioN IN IOWA.
INVESTS FUEL BOARDS
WITH GREAT POWERS
Points Out Where People May Con.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Aoines. Nov. 4.-DeclarinS that
in an emergency such as the present
coal strike the burden of relief rests
with the state and power Is vested In
the Office Of the chief executive to do
whatever IL possible, Governor Hard
ing today issued'a proclamation deal
ing with the coal strike. He invests
Fuel Administrators Webster and all
county and district administrators
with power to act in the matters Of
distributing and conserving coal and
calls upon the people for cooperation
and assistance In meeting the sttua-
ton. His proclamation follows:
"A disagreement having arisen as to
the wages and hours Of the bituminous
coal miners Of the United States. q
strike has been declared turnout this
entire field, taking place Nov. !, 1919.
There Is less coal in the bins OF
both private and commercial con-
sumers than under normal conditions
at this time of the year. Many fam
lilies Of the state are practically with
out coal at this time and q consider
able number Of commercial consumers
have only enough coal to last q few
days. This means that homes will be
cold and laborers thrown out of en-
ployment in a short time unless some
thing is done to relieve the situation.
IF tho strike continues, the produc-
ton Of coal will cease. All the coal
that the state would have for con-
sumption during the strike Is the
amount that Is either on track, in the
hands Of the retailers or in the bins
Of the consumers of the state.
Under our form Of government In
an emergency Of this kind the burden
Of relieving the situation as far as
possible falls within the state upon
the office Of the chief executive Of the
state. The power Is also vested In
this Office to do whatever Is possible
and reasonable to relieve the situa-
ton.
II therefore appoint Charles Web
ster. of Waucoma, Iowa, fuel admins
traitor Of the state in the present
emergency to act until the federal gov
eminent organizes to take charge OF
distribution. I further authorize him
to appoint fuel administrators thruout
the counties and cities of the state
said administrators to work thru ana
under the advice and instruction OF the
state fuel administration. The duties
and responsibilities of said state and
local fuel administration is to take
charge of the distribution of coal
within the state.
Wherein People Can Assist.
II call upon the people Of the state
for cooperation and assistance as fol-
lows:
First, retail coal dealers to CO.
operate with the state and local fuel
administration to see to 1t that the
coal within the state Is. so far as pos
sible, distributed (a) SO as to obviate
suffering in the homes, (b) to keep IN
dustries going so that as few as pos
sible are thrown out Of employment.
Second, every person, regardless OF
the amount Of coal they may have IN

their possession. 70 conserve In every
way possible. Not pound OF coal
that In not absolutely necessary should
be used for any purpose by anyone In
this emergency.
Third. every person should use
other kinds OF fuel wherever possible.
Fourth. those who have a goodly
supply Of coal on hands should CO.
operate with the fuel administration
both state and local M well as with
local dealers to see To II that the
people who are without coal for home
consumption are not left to suffer.
Fifth, those who have-coal for sale
should avoid proiitcering or an I'M
reasonable margin OF profit because OF
the critical situation In which we lind
ourselves.
Therefore. by virtue OF authority In
mo vested, I. w. Il. Harding. governor
of the state OF Iowa. proclaim tho
above to be the policy OF the state OF
Iowa In reference to the distribution
Of coal during the time Of the present

seventeen year-old Christian Armenian
girl, around whose adventures the
scenario is woven and who herself en-
acts the leading part in the film was
sold as slave in one of these modern
Turkish markets and was later a pris-
oner in a Turkish harem
From her own personal experiences
and from the authentic reports from
officials of the American and British
governments who have seen these
things, the scenes have been recon
structed. The Armenian girls, like
the Circassian and the Georgian, are
much more refined and beautiful than
the native Turkish girls. and when the
Armenian massacres were renewed in
1916 the Turks made them a pretext for
Selling theSmost beautiful daughters of
the Armenian Families and forcing them
into their harcms. Those whom the
officials and officers did not keep for
their harems they allowed to be sold
in the slave markets. Thus it happened
that hundreds of these unhappy girls
were stood up naked and sold to the
highest bidder, and in many instances
there were SO many of them and hui
man life was cheap, that the price
which girl brought was even less
than a single American dollar.

Up to the present time all film and

the Arabian Nights and from paintings
which reproduced the harems and slave

which are not true to life in the

DOUBLE SHIFT At
ALL FIRE STATIONS
EFFECTIVE OCT. |
Eighty-Four Firemen to. Be
Added to FOrce-Con-
structiOn Begins Soon.
Efficiency is Aim

Final plans are being made by Fire
Chief Sidney A. Middleton for the ad-
diton of 81 men to the Birmingham fire
department force October 1. when fire.
men here will be placed on a 12-hour
shift instead of a A-hour shift as is
in effect now
Efficiency is the aim of the action that
will provide two shifts for the 1remen.
In taking the step Birmingham joins a
number of other leading southern cities
having two shifts, including Memphis
Chattanooga and Atlanta. There are at
present 81 firemen in the local depart
ment They are paid from 500 to Sis
a month, according to the length of their
service with the department. The new
men win be paid 800 a month EACH add
ing $500 monthly to the expense OF the
department.
At present the firemen are on duty "a
hours of the day and have one day Off
each week. BY the new plan one shift
will so on duty at Z o'clock in the morn
ings and retire at o'clock in the aft
ernoons, when relieved by the night shift
which is to be on duty until o'clock
the next morning. The shifts will alter
rate, placing one on night duty for two
weeks and on day duty for the next two
weeks. This plan, as has been pointed
out by Chief Middleton, will allow the
men more freedom and recreation and
will increase the efficiency of the depart
ment.
John H. Taylor. commissioner of pub
lie safety, yesterday stated that con-
struction work on the fire station which
is to be erected near Chestnut Hill, on
Thirty-first street between upper and
lower Highland avenue, to be $4,000
brick two-story building, and of the two
story brick station to be erected at Ave-
nue. d and Nineteenth street, will begin
at an early date, and Will be rushed to
completion The Nineteenth street sta
ton is to contain the municipal garage
and machine shops, the entire station to
cost approximately $4,000.
The fire department is to be built up in
every way to make as efficient and as
effective as possible. To complete the
work of bringing it up to this high stand
ard, officials say, will require probably
IS months. At the end of that time Biz
mingham is TO have a fire department
second in efficiency to none in the south.
In addition to the added protection from
fire that is to result, one of the other
benefits, it is declared. will be reduc-
ton of fire insurance rates here.
