Another appreciative thought
was expressed by B. ]. Denman.

wished to thank the fuel commit

longer than they would have last
ed without mandatory conservation
orders.
incorporated in the main resolu-
ton of the committee is what they
considered a very important point
that of observing strict economy
in the use Of fuel and power de-
rived from coal during the next
few weeks. The possibility of a
serious coal shortage is not past,
nor will it be for some time. Care
must be taken in ways small and
large that too much coal is not
used up in the burst Of festivity
following the fortnight Of cold and
darkness, according to several of
! the men.

Miners at Matherville to the num-
Der Of about three hundred fifty
are sitting tight waiting to see how
the local unions in other sections
of the country are accepting the
settlement agreed to by national
officers at Indianapolis Wednesday
before returning to work.
The men held special meeting
yesterday afternoon and decided to
wait until it is definitely known
that work is being resumed every
where else.
I'VE do not doubt the authentic
ity Of the telegram signed by the
head officers" explained one of the
Matherville union officials to The
Argus this afternoon, but we
want to be reasonably sure that
the verdict is accepted by all
unions. We are watching the pa
pers for this answer and 1t is likely
that work here may be resumed by
the first of the week.

isfied with the decision al to the

loyal and content to return. How
ever, the men are not willing to

CRITICISM OF the Y. N. L. A. work
overseas, and that in nearly every
case where this criticism has been
encountered, the workers have
been able to convince the critic OF
the unjustness of his accusation.
Many people hide behind such
criticisms in their refusal to con-
tribute" said Mr.. Stirratt. "They
find it easier to criticise than to
come across with funds"
Over one hundred OF the cam
paigners. including the executive
committee, team officers, and their
workers were present at the ban
Quet last evening. Following the
meal, which was served by the la.
dies Of the Grace Lutheran church.

predicted. He paid a fine tribute

the drive.
He introduced Secretary Stirratt
as the man who, while he had been
a worker behind the scenes. has
been a potent factor in the organ
izati0n and carrying on of the
drive.
In response Mr.. Stirratt said that
never since his coming to work
with the Rock Island association
had he felt SO light at heart as at
the time he saw the campaign fund
reach its mark. He spoke of his
conviction of the loyalty of the peo-
pie to the association, and said
that the work of the men who had
put the campaign over convinced
him that the Y. M. c. A. had many

I RI-CIT!Y LID
TO BE LIFTED
EARLY MONDAY
Fuel Committee Declares All Re.
strictionS Annulled Next Week,
Following State Action.

Tomorrow night will be the last
dark evening, and tomorrow will
be the last day of restrictions of
any kind in regard to the use OF
fuel. except as concerns factory
heating plants, following the state
and local actions in removing the
lid today. The local committee, in
a resolution this noon, came to
this decision. following the action
Of the Illinois public utilities COM
mission and that Of Chicago in this
respect. 1t took very short DELHI
Grafton, less than an hour, by the
committeeman to come to an agree
ment, and what bids fair to be the
final official session of the local
fuel committee closed at l O'Clock.
Reports concerning modification
Of the general conservation rules
applied a week ago by the tri-city
fuel authorities were prepared by
subcommittee chosen for the
work yesterday. These reports
were uncalled for today, and the
only question concerning restric-
tions, other than the blanket mo-
ton to remove them all, starting
1901 midnight Monday morning,
was that Of allowing Offices to stay
open until 9 o'clock tonight with
retail stores.
Should Hold for Few Days.
The consensus. Of opinion in the
meeting, although this action swas
taken. was that the. conservation
rules should remain in force until
Wednesday. BY tina thine coal is
expected to- be coming in freely
and no bad results except a minor
shortage would follow lifting of
the lid. However, this alternative
was impossible, owing to the state
action, as we'll as to the fact that
| public opinion would not permit it.
considering that Chicago had re-
turned to the normal schedule.
Lid Still on Factories.
The committee has no jurisdic-
ton over the factory heating stu
alton. Regional directors in meet
! ing yesterday ruled that no coal
was TO be released to factories I'M
der any consideration. The local
committee expressed felicitation
that this should be the case, hold
ing factories down as tightly as
ever while every other fuel restric-
ton was lifted. However, they
could take no action to relieve the
situation, beyond expressing the
opinion that in some measure re-
