informed as to conditions in their
states, he said, and will report to
the state federal director who will in
yestigate and report to the district
federal agent, who will use his forces
to investigate and arrest if evidence

the state federal director will be to
enlist the aid of all state officers He
will also endeavor to secure the back
ing and support of all civic, moral ana
religious bodies"

SIXTEEN STATES

Sentiment Is Being Sounded On
Permanently ; Ex h a n ging
Hour of Night for Hour of

New York, Nov. 25.-Surveys by
chambers of commerce and industrial
organizations are in progress in six
teen states to ascertain public senti-
ment regarding continuation of day
light saving and the campaign will be
extended throughout the country be-
fore next April. according to Marcus
M. Marks, president of the National

he said, had been found in favor of
the law. At present the months for
daylight saving in New York conform
to the old federal statue, from March
to October. To have the law uniform,
Mr.. Marks said, an amendment will
be introduced changing the time from
the last Sunday in April to the last
Sunday in September. The New York
board of aldermen's recent action in
passing a daylight saving ordinance,
it was said, had impel1ed other cities
to take similar steps.
"Fifteen of the eighteen mayors of
Connecticut continued MIR. Marks
recently voted unanimously at a con-
ference in New Haven to initiate cam

hold a mass meeting at City Hall at
8 O'Clock tonight to discuss plans for
the next moves in the centennial

Congressman Smithwicks communica-
ton dealing with the Federal aid
phase of the centennial will also be
presented.
1t is understood that Mr.. Jones was
asked if he could attend a meeting
day. He wired that Saturday would
be better and suggested Tallahassee
as a desirable meeting place. No an
swer has been received to this sug-
gestion.
Jacksonville lost interest in the
centennial after it was decided tc
split it four ways, but with the pros
pect of another fight for the site de-
signation it is said that interest is
springing up.

Pensacola is the historical site for the
centennial and was much interested in

they are trying to adjust. President

Atlanta, Nov. 25.-The Southern
Region coal committee tonight request
ed all manufacturers who can, without
heavy loss, close tomorrow night un-
til Monday morning in order to save
coal, also requested all stores, busi-
ness houses and offices to close daily
at p. m. and householders to reduce
to the minimum their use of fuel and
lights. The committee are preparing
lists of passenger trains possible to
discontinue without serious inconven-

this will be done.
The public generally does not real
ize the seriousness of the coal situation
the committee said in making it's ap-
peal on the grounds of patriotism for
the new curtialment requests to be
carried out.
President Wilson's cabinet had ex-
pected to reach a decision today on
the wage controversy between the
bituminous coal miners and operators
that would send the miners back to
work
Before entering the meeting. Attor-
ney General Palmer said that if the
figures as to operators profits given
yesterday by Former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo were correct, it was
not likely that Fuel Administrator Car
field would permit an increase price for
coal. Any wage advances granted. it
was intimated, would have to come
out OF operators profits.
DIR. Garfield took to the cabinet
meeting bituminous coal production
cost figures.
These figures were expected to
furnish the basis for an agreement in
the cabinet as to the amount of the
wage increase the operators would be
called upon to bear
Operators and miners spent two
hours in conference today without
breaking the deadlock as to wages.
Leaders on both sides said the nego-
tiations would not be considered un-

BY SHEA AND LEE
Kansas City Local Telegraphed
Request for Strike Call But
Were Told "Government Was
Bigger Than They"

Chicago, Nov. 25.-National leaders
of the four great railway brother
hoods held a secret session today at
which the insistence of many local
unions that a general strike of all
railway workers in the United States
be called by December 1st, to enforce
demands for a general increase in pay
was given serious consideration, ac-
cording to local union railway men
here tonight.
One union official said that many
delegates attending the Cleveland
meeting went there specifically to
force the general committee to call a
nation wide strike Others said that so
far as they We're aware the Cleveland
meeting had noG yet reached point
where a resolution or motion for Il
strike had been presented but that talk
was favorable for it and a tie-up
could be expected within three days.
A similar announcement was made
this afternoon at the convention of the
newly organized labor party here. 1t
became known tonight that the Kansas
City local of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen telegraphed national of
ficials that their organization was
asking permission to call a strike of
trainmen and yardmen tomorrow.
Cleveland. Nov. 25.--When told of
the railroad mems statements in Chi
cago, President Lee. of the Brother
hood of Trainmen said no motion or
resolution pertaining to a quick strike
had come before the conference of the
general chairmen and that he did not
know whether one would be presented.
The general chairmen today voted to
accept Director General Hines offer
of a uniform sixteen hour rule for
crews held away from home terminals
but did not reach a decision on the
offer of time and half for overtime in
slow freight service.
Lee said he replied to the Kansas
City local as to all locals that if they
think they are bigger than the United
states government which is operating
the railroads at present have no ad-
vice to give them"
Acting President Shea of the Bro
therSood of 'Trainmen and Enginemen
commenting tonight on reports of a
threatened railway strike declared I" it
is neither the purpose nor the spirit
of the Cleveland conference to discuss
strike"
He said all that would be discussed
here will be Hines time and a half
proposition and that he did not believe
IL would be possible to stampede the
conference into a vote on a general
strike.

pOrtatiOn Protest Against Be-
ing Screened From Public At
House Hearing.

New York, Nov. 25.-Three radicals
held at Ellis Island added hunger
strike today to their silence strike
which is seeking removal of the wire
barrier between them and visitors.
They refuse to attend a hearing by
the house immigration committee and
cannot be forced because inspectors
cannot tell them apart.
About half a dozen voluntarily hear
ings were set for today but Joined the
hunger strike and refused to talk. All
are anxious to go to Soviet Russia, ac-
cording to their counsel. Byron HI.
Uhl, acting commissioner of immigra-
ton, said he had discovered no method
whereby he could identify the prison
ers scheduled for hearing.
While a congressional committee in
vestigating the department of labor
was attending the hearings yesterday,
sudden adjournment was taken when
one of the keepers, sent to bring a
prisoner from the enclosure, returned
with the statement that the man would
not answer his name and no one
could identify him. The attorney rep
resenting the defendants was appeal
ed to but said he could be of no aid
as he did not know his clients by
their faces.
The strikers sent Mr.. Uh1 an ultt-
matum saying they would not answer
to their names or attend trial until a
wire screen behind which they were
compelled to stand while receiving
friends had been removed.
The authorities decided to wait un-
til the friends of the prisoners called
with food and tobacco and thus es-
tablish identifications, but as there can
be no individual property in com

ers are said OF have established, keep

source. as what is brought for one is
brought for all, and any one can re-
ceive it.
After having issued an ultimatum to
the effect that they would not attend
their hearings unless he wire screen
which separated them from visitors
was removed, they declined an invita-
ton to march into the dining hall for
breakfast this morning. The menu
which the hunger strikers turned down
consisted of prunes, oatmeal. bread
with a substitute for butter, and cof-
fee.
The first showdown in the anti-trial
strike came this morning when one
striker was summoned for hearing.
He offered no resistance and marched
into the room. When he got there,
however, he refused to answer ques-
tions.
Hearings also were held in the cases
