HELP FOR THE SOLDIERS
Disabled Men Given Allowances For
Subsistence According to
Family Needs.

Washington, May 20.-It is very
necessary that the public should un-
derstand the provisions that the gov
eminent has made for the retraining
of the soldier disabled to such an
extent that he cannot return TO his
former employment, nor can he take
up a new occupation without training
for it. Without thinking, the public
often Contends that the soldier has
done his bit" and therefore the
government should give him suffic-
lent compensation to live without
bothering himself about job for
the rest of his life. Upon serious
thought this same public will realize
that this condemnation to such con-
tinuous inactivity is no kindness to
the soldier who has sacrificed his
health for his country. The govern
ment has planned a better way, and
stadds ready to show the wounded
man that his country still needs him,
and needs him to such an extent
that provisions have not only been
made for his reeducation in some
new trade or profession, but that
money will be paid to him and to
his dependents during the time re-
Quired for his preparation for this
further service for the nation. The
war risk insurance bureau pays COM
pensation to the man and allowances
for the support of his dependents
during the entire period of his train
ing.
The amount given the man in
training varies according to the size
of his family. A single man gets at
| least sos month, but there is a
graduated scale of payments for a
married man who has a wife and
children, which is based upon the
family requirements. For instance
married man living at home with
his wife and one child would get Gin
Guiding the family allowances) $50
and If he must train away from home
the total amount is $105. If he has
four children he will receive Sill. so
unless he must live away from home
during his training, when the family
is paid $122. so. Increase in these
allowances is made up to the number
of six children, except in the case oil
widower, who is allowed an in
crease up to eight children.

100 North Platte Families
Reported to Have No Coal

Lincoln, ,Neb., Nov. 28-Organi-
cation of citizens fuel committee
at North Platte, Neb., which COM
Wandered coal for distribution to
needy families, was reported to the
Nebraska State Railway commits
sion today. This information came
in a telegram to the commission
from member of the citizens
committee, who said at least 100
families were without coal and that
there were more applications on file
for fuel than the whole supply
would cover. Cold weather has
been prevailing at North Platte, 2
above zero being reported there to-
day.
Part Of the fuel taken over came
from the city's water plant, and all
dealers agreed to turn over present
and future supplies to be delivered
only by order of the committee un-
til the present stringency is re-
lieved.
Only small supply of fuel was
on hand when the telegram was
filed, the message said, adding that
IF not a single passenger is carried
on any railroad it seems to US that
men, women and children should be
given enough coal to keep one fire
burning in each household"
The commission turned the mat
ter over to the Union Pacific fuel
committee at Omaha.

Says Mines Operating.
w. F. Thiehoff, assistant to the
general manager of the Burlington
railroad, who returned from Colo
RADIO yesterday, said mines in Colo
RADIO were all operating. The mines
on the Burlington lines near Sheri-
dan, Wyo., which were nearly all
closed for the past several days,
were operating today at about Is per
cent maximum capacity, he said, and
about us cars will be loaded to-
day.
The output will gradually be i'm
creased, Mr. Thiehoff said, although
many of the miners have left the
Sheridan fields. Much of the coal
which is mined in the Sheridan dis
trict will be diverted to Nebraska,
and Omaha. Mr.. Thiehoff said, al
though heretofore it was nearly all
sent to the northwest.

district, will arrive in Omaha some

ant General Manager Guild of the

Pacific, has ordered that 200 cars
be sent here Immediately, and this
will relieve the situation to some
exten, it is believed.
Whether more coal from the
Union Pacific mines can be diverted
to Omaha is considered doubtful,
however, owing to lack of fuel in
smaller towns in the state which are
entirely dependent on the railroad.
Word reached here that a
citizens committee had been or
gained at North Platte, Neb., to
commander coal for 100 families
that are without fuel. The COM
mittee was parceling the coal out

capital will not be tolerated"
1.-THE public cannot and will not
be asked to bear the increased bur-
den of higher prices of coal nor of
the payment of large sum as wa
ges to any special class OF workers"
he said.
Pointing out that his conclusion
had been reached only after care
full and exhaustive research, DR..
Garfield declared neither the pro-
testation of the miners against the
IA per cent wage advance, nor the
insistence of the operators that they
be permitted to charge a higher
price for coal would induce him to
alter his decision that IA per
cent increase was the amount neccs-
sary to bring the miners wage up
to the level of living costs and that
the operators. could pay this ad-
vance without increasing prices to
the public.

Coal Situation Summary;
Governors Takinu Action

Chicago, Nov. 28.-Moves for
drastic curtailment of the use of soft
coal, especially in the middle-west,
southwest. and central west, were
made today to meet the shortage
due to the miners strike, while OPP
orators prepared to announce Ia
per cent wage advance effective
December /.
What effect the wage increase
proposed by Fuel Administrator
Garfield and rejected by the union
miners representatives., but accept
ed by the operators-would have
upon production was not indicated
tonight. What percentage of the
miners might return to work Mon
day could not be foretold.
Although the government, through
the Fuel administration, announced
it proposed to see production re-
sumed, even though it were neces-,
sary to take over some of the mines,
no specific action had been orderd.
A conference of governors will
be called to meet in Chicago, prob
ably Monday, by Gov. Friedrich D.
Gardner of Missouri, he announced
tonight, unless Fuel Administrator
Garfield informs him that the gov
eminent will take definite action
looking to production.
On Monday, too, Gov. Harry ].
Allen has announced he will open
the strip mines of Kansas with vol
unteer miners. The governor con-
ferred with Gen. Leonard Wood to-
night in Kansas City, in preparation
for the undertaking for which about
1000 men have enlisted.
The most encouraging strike news
of the day was the return of miners
in Wyoming. where the strike ap-
parently had collapsed.
Mining to considerable extent has
gone on in Kentucky, New Mexico,
Alabama, Colorado, North Dakota
and parts of Wyoming, and in the
nonunion mines of Pennsylvania,
but the aggregate Of 40 per cent of
normal has left the country largely
running on rations, with industries
gradually shutting down in many
states.
In Indianapolis, manufacturing
plants are operating on a half-time
basis.
No further reduction in train
service was announced today and
fuel committees generally were able
to meet the most pressing appli-
cations for fuel. The tonnage from
the east now approaches 800 cars
a day.
Director R. H. Ashton of the

clared that as soon as production is
resumed coal would be given the
