You're an Hour Due You;
Get 1t Back Tonight

National daylight saving ends to-
morrow morning at o'clock. Those
not wishing to stay awake until .
O'Clock may turn, the clock back an
hour before retiring, or, better still,
set the alarm for tomorrow morning,
awaken, turn back the hands and
sleep another hour.
The daylight saving law has been
repealed by Congress. Local daylight
saving has been suggested as an al
tentative and an ordinance will be
presented to City Council urging the
adoption of such a measure.
The law apparently pleased every
class in the country but the farmers
md the lighting companies. The re-
pealer was forced through Congress
over the opposition from all sections
of the country.

Lewis Charges PrOflteering
Lewis. in formal statement. charged
that the operators did not want to make
a new wage agreement because that
would deprive them of the chance of
raising prices.
Consumers already are being re-
quired to pay more for coal than they
paid month or two weeks ago" Lewis
said. And they may expect to pay
more hereafter. for the operators are
now reaping rich harvest of profits
ON account of the strike scare
The price of coal at number of
mines has been raised IA dollar or two
a ton Lewis added.
Operators. he declared were refusing
to deliver coal TO state institutions,
swhile governors had wired to the mine
workers organization for relief (which
we are powcrless to grant
The resolution would pledge the
'iconstaut, continuous and unqualified
support of Congress to 'the national
administration and all others in author
ity' in meeting ''the great emergency
confronting us.
While the cabinet is in session the
nation is taking stock of its coal bin
today for the strike of 30. 900 miners in
the chief bituminous fields loomed more
menacing than ever before.
Government officials confronted by
the greater seriousness of the situation
renewed their quest for some means of
preventing the walkout which will close
operations in the soft coal fields
Of Pennsylvania. Ohio, West Virginia.
Indiana and Illinois. Further at
tempts at negotiation seemed hopeless
TO most officials
While the operators yesterday accented
the Presidents proposal, made in mes :.
sage conveyed to both sides through
Secretary Wilson. the miners agreed
only to negotiate the disputed questions
and held over for consideration the two
other proposals. namely, that the con-
troversies be submitted to arbitration if
negotiations failed and that the mines
be kept in operation pending the nego-
tiations
Estimates today as TO how long the
coal stock of the nation would last
varied, but the average figure placed
the reserve at little more than one
month supply.
Director General Hines was warned
today in a letter from the National
Wholesale Coal Association that. while
the coal dealers did not question the
right Of the railroads to cOnfiscate coal
mined for the dealers. they would de-
mand compensation for such action. not
merely on the basis of the fuels value.
but also ON the basis of damage to bust
ness and other factors affecting the
reputation of the dealers.

TRANSFERS BACK AT WORK
Call Of Strike Pending Arbitration
of Waae Demands

Striking teamsters returned to work
today. pending the settlement by arbi
tration of their demands for higher
wages.
The return was general, and came as
a result of conference between strikers
and owners called by the Chamber of
Commerce Yesterday. Each side ex-
pressed willingness to abide by the de-
cision of an arbitration board to sit next
week.
Great quantities of foodstuffs stored
in warehouses and freight stations be-
cause they could not be moved during the
strike were moved today. The de-
liyeries were mucn greater than normal.
