Conference OF all district represent

submitted by President Wilson pro.

sion TO decide upon our demands f0i

ment OF other questions in dispute. In
view OF this decision all United Mine
Workers are instructed and directed Ia
Sesume work Immediately. Circular
containing full explanation and further
instructions follows.

William Green, Secretary Treasurer"
The miners statement follows;
THE United Mine Workers repre-
sentatives agreed to accept the Pres
ident's proposal as a basis Of settlement
OF the coal strike. They did so because
it provides a definite. concrete and prac-
lical method by which adequate con-
sideration and a proper adjustment Of
their claim for an increase in wages
and improved conditions OF employ
ment may be brought about. The United
Mine Workers have fun confidence in
The President Of the United States and
a profound regard for his viii and
judgment.
THE Presidents proposal differs from
any proposal heretofore proposed In
that Il leaves nothing In doubt so far
as a plan Of adjustment and the de-
tails thereof is concerned. The scheme
proposed by Or. Garfield left no hope
FOR the mine workers other than the
acceptance Of an increase in mining
prices OF ii per cent. The President s
proposal provides that this amount Of
advance is preliminary and that the
tribunal which he viii set up will have
fun authority to consider further ques-
lions OF wages and working conditions
as well as profits Of operators and prop
er prices for coal, readjusting both
wages and profits II it shall so decide.
Il further provides that the commits
sion will have authority 10 settle inter
an OF which are OF very great import
ance TO the mine workers.
The commission will make its report
within go days unless some insurmount-
able difficulties arise which prevent it,
from doing so. and the commission wiz
have authority TO fix the date when any
award Il makes will become effective.
"The Presidents plan further provides
that upon a general resumption OF Oper-
atoms the status quo viii be main
tanned; that Is. that all mine workers
will return to work with an increase in
wages amounting to ii per cent. upon
The same basis which obtained on De-
iober 81, 1912 Neither operators nor
miners viii be allowed to change the
basis and no discrimination by the coal
operators will be permitted.

M0ToRTRUck FEES DIFFER
No General Understanding Through
out the Country as to Rate.
to BE Paid.

At the beginning Of 1919 there were
still % states In which motortrucks
were registered at the same rate as
pleasure cars. Recent years, however
have shown quite general tendency
to increase the fees required for heavy
motortrucks. This increase usually is
based on the weight of the truck, its
carrying capacity. or combination of
its carrying capacity and its horse
power. However, there Is as yet no
evidence of any well-defined general
goal toward which this movement is
tending. Some states are placing a
definite maximum weight which may
not be exceeded except in very special
cases; others are evidently relying on
discouraging or limiting the use of
very heavy trucks by making the regis
tration fees so large as to practically
prevent the realization of any profit ;
while still other states are making no
serious efforts except to limit the
weight of the wheel loads per inch
width of tire. The terms motortruck
and commercial vehicle, moreover, are
very definite. In some states the term
commercial vehicle as used includes
all trucks, while in others only those
vehicles used for hire are classed as
commercial.

Not only does this food contain large
percentage Of protein, but 1t also con-

combined with bread, which is carbo-

combination, supplying as it does all
the elements necessary for nourish-
ment-protein, fat, carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread is very popular

London. --London hOnored General
pershing Friday with the freedom Of
the city and sword Of honor in the
presence Of distinguished company
Of Britons and Americans gathered
within the historic Guildhall. John w.
Davis, the American ambassador, the
embassy staff, Rear Admiral Harry S.

Early this month the corporation OF
the city of London voted to present to

OBSTRUCTION IN FUEL PIPE
Various Causes for This Annoying
Trouble, but the Remedy Is
Simple Matter.

Sometimes the vacuum tank of a
fuel system remains dry when there is
plenty of gasoline in the main tank.
Generally this is due to foreign matter
making its way into the fuel pipe be-
tween the two tanks and obstruetlng
the passage OF the liquid. When this
is the case the simplest remedy con-
slsts In filling the float chamber of the
carburetor with gasoline-usually
drawn from the main tank--and then
starting the engine. This win clear out
sAe pipe line by suction nine times out
OF ten and the vacuum tank will begin
operating again. Sometimes II Is nee.
essary TO speed up the engine some
what in order to loosen the ohstruc.
ton.
Occasionally the cause of the trouble
10 the stoppage OF the small air hole In
the filler cap of the main fuel tank.
This should be kept open to give play
to the pressure of the atmosphere OF
the fuel.

local conditions and the prospects for
the development of profitable and
permanent hauling business In their
communities. They neglect to inven-
tory such critical conditions as the
volume OF farm products produced
along the contemplated routes, the vol
ume of miscellaneous hauling supple
mentary to regular loads; the compe-
tition of other carriers and the char
acter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. A motortruck route
established in sparsely-settled or
nonproductive region is foredoomed to
failure. AT least potential supply
OF commodities must be available for
hauling If there Is TO be sufficient bust
ness to make the route a paying one.

of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer
castings of tires have been made up
of combination of woven canvas fab

past five years there has come onto

new tire, instead of using woven
canvas fabric as foundation, there

Hauling farm produce to market in
motortrucks represents one means of
the successful solution Of the short
haul" one of the most difficult prob
lens which confronts the transporta-

The failure of railroads to keep
pace with the expansion Of the short
haul business; the development Of the
producing areas adjoining the larger
cities In proportion to the production
demands asked Of them; and the up
building of the motortruck manufac-
turing activities, as well as the re-
cent war emergency crisis, have popu-
larized this method of moving farm

ADVICE ON BUYING TRUCK.

There are several sources of
information which may be
helpful to the man contemplate
ing the purchase of a motor
truck.
Previous personal experience
Of the operator Is exceedingly
valuable. Experiences of other
operators may often be secured
for the asking. Motortruck man
ufacturers will be glad to fur
nish prospective purchasers with
such information of this nature
as may be available. Data Sc
cured from truck manufactur-
ers very often do not indicate
the conditions under which the
figures were secured.
Information thus offered Is
usually an honest attempt to aid
buyers, but almost invariably
there Is too much generalization
to make such figures a very val
liable basis of estimation.
Many cost statements issued
by truck companies do not take
into consideration the varying
classes of highways over which
trucks run, variations In the
load, total monthly or yearly
mileage and other important
factors.
