STRICTLY GOVERNMENT WORK
This Nation Will Not Delegate Duty Of Retaining Disabled Soldiers
 to Others.

Washington. Feb. S-The work of fitting war disabled men so that de- spite their injuries they are able to become skilled, efficient wage earn- CTS, Is held by the United States gov ernment to be strictly a government tai act of justice towards its disabled defenders, and in order to be sure that they get the best attention the world can afford, the government is seeing after them itself
 A good many "institutes' and other concerns for crippled and disabled soldiers" and the like have sprung up and have been vigorously press- agented over the country, but they actually have nothing whatever to do with this work. The government de- sires 1t understood that 1t Is not a private charity or philanthropy. nor is 1t in any sense a charity for dis abled men to take this training. The governments position is that 1t is nc more than justice to them to restore them insofar as Is humanly possible 10 the position of independence from which they were called to serve their Nation, and in which service they have suffered impairments, and for this ii has appropriated large sums and fur ! nished adequate machinery.
 This work is solely in charge of the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- tion at Washington, designated by Congress for the task, and the Board Is more than pleased to receive in- quiries from those who are disabled whether by disease, accident or wounds.

LYRIC

Whats Your Husband Doing ?' which will appear at the Lyric next week, Is funny and that seems to be enough to say about 1t, but those who attend one performance will want to see 1t a second and third time. Throughout 1t shows that no matter how innocent a person may be of wrongdoing there is always a like ihood that they may be misunder- stood and complex situations may arise which require diplomacy and tact to get out of. It is hardly fair to disclose the plot and the best ad- vice is to go see 1t and be convinced that 1t Is one of the leaders in com edy for this season at least.
 This afternoon and tonight the final performances of Tess of the Storm Country" will be given. The pro- duction has been well received all week and the seating capacity of the pretty playhouse has been taxed to capacity.
 Tomorrow night the usual photo play concert with new features will be given. The feature of the evening will be William S. Hart in his fa- nous play, Wolf Lowry" which is considered one of the best in which will be ono of the funniest pictures that Charlie Chaplin has starred ir, followed by an interesting illustration of the Pathe Weekly news, besides the concert by the orchestra.

The lack of activity however, Is the
result of the sweeping provisions of
the restraining order issued yesterday
by United States District Judge A. G.
Andersen, compelling the miners Of
ficials to refrain from taking any part
In conducting or encouraging the
strike of the miners which according
to dispatches, has been carried out
almost to a man among the unions OF
the coalworkers throughout the coun-
try.
The restraining order is the first
step in the governments plan to rend-
er the strike ineffective. On November
s, a temporary injunction will be
asked government officials pointing
out that the first order was merely an
emergency measure intended, not to
prevent individual miners from quit
ting work, but to prevent organized di-
rection of the tie up.
The order will leave the miners
free to exercise their own judgement
in quitting or remaining at work and
also will give the miners leaders time
to prepare and present their side or
the case to the court.
If the temporary injunction is
granted the government later will ask
that it be made permanent. The only
known step the miners have taken to-
ward fighting the government in the
court is the retention of Henry War
rum an Indianapolis attorney. 1t was
said that Alton b. Parker, of New
York, probably would be engaged to
assist with the miners case. Both
Judge Parker and Mr.. Warrum have
represented the organization at var
ious times in the past.

MAYOR HOLDS Up
PAY Of SOME
Comes as Result Of City Attor-
ney'S Opinion

The pay of certain city employees is
now being held up as the result of an
opinion made on Wednesday of this
week by City Attorney Leo COLDER
ger, to Chairman Albert G. Waters of
the Judiciary Committee of the Board
of to the effect that it would be IL
legal to pay certain city employees not
regularly appointed by the council.
Mayor Dorsey stated this morning
that he was waiting for an opinion
from the city attorney before he
would authorize the payment of these
salaries.
Mayor Dorsey said: According to
the opinion as given by the City At
torney and published in the EVEN
ING NEWS of Wednesday, October
20, 1t would be illegal to pay certain
employees not regularly appointed by
the council and inasmuch as we have
a number of employees who are hold
ing positions under which 1 believe to
be the same conditions, 1 have held
up their pay until the matter is
Strengthened out.
II endeavored to locate the city
attorney on Thursday and Friday and
with me but until this morning he
had failed to do so. This morning 1
called upon him for an opinion in
the matter and authority to pay these
employees and he promised to render
such an opinion in writing but he has
not done so as yet. l agreed, that If
1 was within the law, to pay these
men Immediately as I appreciate the
necessity of them having their money.
1t Is a fact that these men have rem
dered services to the city and are en-
titled to be paid but it is also q fact
that the bus inspectors, who were ap-
pointed in the same manner as the
employees referred to, are also entitled
to be paid.
I'm the payments previously made
l was governed entirely by the sigma
ture of the comptroller whose bust
ness it is to check the salary list and
my duties therefore appeared to be
administered but in the face of the
opinion as rendered by the city attor-
ney / consider that the whole matter
must be readjusted in order to leagal-
lie the payments. l requested the
city attorney to take steps to do this
mmediateIy," "
