Washington, Dec. 12.-The general
fuel situation and restrictions on the
use of coal were under review today

WOMEN MAKE PROTEST
Prominent New York Women Want
Clearance for Ships to Russia.

New York, Dec. 12.-Scores of
prominent New York women mobil-
lied in lower Broadway this morning
for a noon invasion of Wall street in
protest against the United States gov
ernment's refusal to issue clearance
papers to vessels for Russian ports.
The invaders planned to enter the
street as ''pickets" rather than as pas
raiders in order to avoid running afoul
of the city ordinance regulating pa
rades. They expected to march in
single file wearing sashes lettered with
protest slogans.
The American women's emergency
committee which organized this and
one previous demonstration. main
tains that the governments refusal
to clear ships is causing the death of
thousands of children in Russia. Mrs.
Frank A. Vanderlip. wife OF the for
mer president of the National City
bank. while not taking part in the
demonstration today is raising a fund
of 100000 to charter ship which
will be stocked with food medicines,
toys and clothing for Russia. 1t is
planned to have the vessel sail from
New York on Christmas day if clear
ance papers can be obtained.

TO PREVENT GOBBLING
Senator Would Charge Extra Postage
on Extra Size Papers.

Washington, Dec. IL. = Senator
Jones, New Mexico, today introduced
a bill to restrict use of newsprint paper
by making the postal rates on news
papers of more than "a pages five
times the present rate
Jones said the purpose of the bill
is to keep the big city newspapers
from ''gobbling' newsprint, making it
almost impossible for small town and
country papers to get paIer.
Introduction of the bill led to dis
cussion of the paper shortage as 1t
affects publication of the Congression-
al Record. Senator Smoot urged SEN
ators to stop inserting trivial matter
in the Record and thus save paper.
Vice President Marshall suggested that
the Record suspend publication entire
ly. Senator Thomas seconded the sug-
gestion, declaring that it is the only
way to reduce the flow of oratory.

One Illinois Operator Won't
Open Mine to Miners.

Washington, Dec. 12.-While ac-
cepting the governments proposal for
the settlement of the bituminous coal
strike. mine operators of the central
Pennsylvania district declared in a
statement today that the Settlement is
no settlement at all of the principles
at stake In the controversy and that
''it is merely a postponement of a
showdown which, in our opinion is
bound to come"

Decatur. ILL.,, Dec. 12.-Miners re-
porting at the Moweaqua mine near

wired the fuel administration at Wash

asking the right to increase prices.
One hundred and fifty men were en-
ployed.
Violation of Contracts.
Referring to the commission plan in
the presidents proposal. resolutions
adopted by the operators said the vital
principles at stake are not mentioned.
nor is any protection offered the pub
lie against a recurrence of the catas-
trophe in the near future.
The operators of central PennSyl-
vania earnestly protest against the
form of the commission and its pow

mand that representative commits

Below zero weather will prevail
in all parts of Kansas tonight
Snow, in advance of the cold wave
began falling in Topeka shortly after
10 O'Clock this morning, and continued
this afternoon.
Temperatures ranging from possibly
degree or two above zero to about
ten degrees below. accompanied by
snow, to prevail thruout the entire
state tonight, were announced this
morning by S. D. Flora. state meteor
ologist.
Almost every city in Kansas is using
fuel on a Starvation" basis Restrict
ing orders are in force in every city.
town and hamlet. More coal and
wood has been burned in Kansas for
heating purposes alone in the present
coal wave than in almost the entire
four weeks preceding. 1t is not linn
tied alone to the poor. Wealthy per-
sons out of fuel experience as much
difficulty in obtaining 1t as de- persons
not so gifted with worldly goods.
Livestock in Danger.
Cattlemen, already warned of the
approaching zero wave, are enedavor-
ing to shelter all stock possible. Many
cattle were lost in the last drop be-
low zero. Similar conditions may be
expected beginning tonight. according
to weather indications reported today.
Railroads are anticipating trouble
and disrupted train schedules should
the snowfall. on an already snow
covered territory, prove exceptionally
heavy Railroad officials are making
preparations to combat the difficult
ties should they develop.
Telegraph and telephone wires will
probably undergo their share of the

tructive to these public utilities

and a third person named to repre-
sent the pubic, will result in an in

Stunning public.
Against this form of a settlement
Doctor Garfield has been unaltel bly,
opposed.
1t was recalled in connection with
the resignation that in suggesting a
IA per cent wage increase as fair for
the miners and possible to be paid
from the present profits of mine own
ers, Doctor Garfield suggested a COM
mission representative of the industry
to review the findings, but expressed
the conviction that such body should
not have power to fix prices. His be-
lief is said to be that with this power
granted, a combination of the employ
er and employe in the industry to
mulct the public by price raises is
certain to result
Whether the president will accept
the resignation is not known. Mem
bers of the cabinet. however. are
known to be supporting the settle
ment program as put thru.
