GOVERNOR WILL
SEEK ACTION IN
COAL SHORTAGE
Will Endeavor to Have
Railroads Make Arrange
ments to Move Fuel
From West.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. s.-(Special,)
Governor McKelvie on his return
from a conference in Denver with
the governors of Colorado and
Wyoming on the coal situation,
Friday sent kilograms covering the
situation to Director General Walker
D. Hines at Washington, Director
Garfield of the U. S. Fuel admins
tration at Washington and Hale
Holden of the fuel administration at
Chicago. The governor left for a
conference with Mr.. Holden at Chi
cago and will then go to Washington
to confer with Mr.. Hines and Mr..
Garfield.
The governor found the situation
in Wyoming and Colorado to be
about as follows: Wyoming is pro-
ducing about 50 per cent of its
normal output of coal, while Colo
RADIO is putting out about 80 per
cent. However, the fact that the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., has
shut down its plant gives the state
about a normal output. In Wyoming
the local consumption leaves about
80 per cent for outside transporta-
ton, but the lack of cars or, rather

the lack Of railroad cooperation
makes it difficult to get the coal
shipped out.
The great drawback to efficiency
in the way of transportation comes
from divided authority.
Governor McKelvie will urge upon
the administrators the necessity of
putting the handling of the final
situation in competent hands out
side of the railroads and for Ne
braska will recommend that John l..
Kennedy of Omaha, who handled
the fuel situation during the war. be
made administrator.
Wyoming can use volunteers in
the Sheridan district, for the coal
is not hard to mine, but Governor
McKelvie insists that volunteers
from Nebraska shall be given need
ed police protection and provided
with suitable places to sleep and
eat Guards are now patrolling the
state house grounds at Denver.
Governor Harding of Iowa has
wired the governor to know if there
are any miners in Nebraska who
have had underground experience.

il was decided at a meeting Of the
board of education, at which Mayor
Aldrup, fuel administrator, and
Supt. L. w. Weisel of the schools

their services and, equipped with
saws and axes, will spend Saturday
in securing frewood to be hauled to

ism, but by the reasoning and dis
coveries of pure, cold science.
ITO reach the other half of our
world we must reach pinnacle of
pure reason, foundation of scien-
tihc knowledge. The task needs a
free mind, great courage-then sail
on.
LET no creed or ceremony stand
near to scare you.
1--WE have funny ideas in this
would about knowledge and ignor-
ance. We think the highly educated
people are the wise ones. No, the
educated and really learned man is
the one that is closest to life. Life
its all life-life itself is the key
note of all this talk of another
world. .
"In the other world we shall live
differently. There will be no money
standards to make us unhappy.
an the other world all must Gre
ate and work. The rich man who
had always lived by the toll of
others will be in sorry plight.
That will be hell for him because
he must perform at first the most
mental tasks in order to fit himself
for service of some higher sort later
on"
