for the failure Of the 600 Illinois mines
to operate more than three days a
week. In some sections the men are
working as little as one day in seven,
he declared. The average, however,
is said to be two and half days a
week.
In rare instances where big mines
are filling extensive contracts, work
is comparatively steady.
Operators are said to have made no
attempt to reduce wages from the war
time scale. Miners everywhere in
the state, 1t was declared, are working
at least few hours week and,
therefore, can not be classed as "un.
employed"
Fishwick said agents of the railroad
administration at one time had at
tempted to buy up coal or to contract
for it in Illinois at prices we'll under

Coal operators confirmed Fish
wick's statements as to the amount Of
work in Illinois mines. They express

SERVANT QUESTION
!. IS SERIOUSLY FELT
IN GREAT BRITAIN
[By Associated Preas to The Bannerl

fBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
LONDON, March 10-The need Of
domestic servants is so seriously felt
in England since the girl servants be-
came munitions workers that Lady
Londonderry, President of the Wo-
mems Legion, is heading a well-or-
ganized movement for the employment
as servants of large numbers Of the
Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, nov
being demobilized. About 5000 Of the
"Waacs" will be available for domes-
tic work, it is estimated. 1t is hoped
they will help to relieve the servant
shortage.
"The chief points of the scheme"
Lady Londonderry explained, "ara
minimum wage, definite leave, inter
change Of work, badge and uniform,
and system of probation.
I'VE thought it best not to attempt
to establish a stated working day, but
two hours leave must be given every
day, four hours on Sunday, and one.
half day week. Fourteen days holi-
day, with wages, must be given each
year.
''All servants sent out by the Le-
giOn will consist at first of our own
members, most of whom have seen
three or four years war service. At
present, we are confining the scheme
to servants that live in homes where
they are employed but If it proves a
success we shall undertake similar
scheme for servants living out and for
mattresses and hotel staffs."

III tne vicinity.
"At the beginning of the Bolshevik
movement, publicly expressed the
opinion that not even a German would
hold converse with a Bolshevik. AS a
Russian Constitutionalist il is COM
pletely inexplicable to me how any
allied government can contemplate dis.
cussion of any sort, in any circum-
stances or at any place, with anyone
who calls himself a Bolshevik.
"Those who imagine that there can
by any pact between the forces Of
civilization and Bolshevism, have no
conception of the real state of affairs
in Russia. The most moderate form
of restoration Of order and liberty
in Russia would make the existence
of Bolshevism impossible. Bolshevism
is complete tyranny, which is abso-
lutely incompatible with any form Of
ordered liberty and constitutional gov.
ernment. 1t is entirely false to say
that Bolshevism is popular form of
government. II Trotzky would walk
verst through Moscow he would be
killed. No Gear lived in greater ter
ror of his subjects than the chiefs of
the Bolshevik government. There was
more law and justice under serfdom
than under the Bolsheviki.
ut is untrue that the armed forces
of the Bolsheviki can offer any serious
resistance to organized and well.arm-
ed pressure, and the failure of the
Bolsheviki in Esthonia, where they
yielded before small but compact fore
es, is much more characteristic Of
their real nature than the successes
they gained in the North and the East
against the driblets which were put
in action there.
"To represent the Bolsheviki as be-
ing strong is not only false but very
dangerous 1t creates the very impress
sion that the Bolsheviki desire to Gre
ate. They aim at world revolution
and to create false impression of
their power is to further their aims.
Civilization must not shrink from the
problem; 1t can be dealt with easily
IL 1t is grasped firmly. The real
