Young Solomon very quickly showed
him how each knothoie could be COW

This done. the plank was perfectly

There were no tin disks obta!natis

He had cornered the supply, and sooo

Next, he directed his attention to
the fish canneries, where similar tin
disks from can-tops were thrown away
in quantities But they were only
about the sizo OF a dime-too small
to cover knotholes. Evidently another
idea was wanted.

ELEMENT OF STRIKE.
HINES TO ASSUME DUTIES
Several Reasons Given For Admins
traitors Action-White House Re-
fused to Make Letter of Res
ignation Public.

| Washington.-The resignation of DIR.
Fl. A. Garfield as fuel administrator
| was forwarded to President Wilson by
Secretary Tumulty. "Of course it Will
be accepted" it was said at the White
House.
Functions of fuel administrator,
handled recently through the railroad
administration under DR.. Garfield's au-
thority, will be continued under Direc-
tor General Hines, it was said. This
does not necessarily mean that Mr..
Hines will be made fuel administrator
in DIR. Garfield's place, it was added.
It was known that DR.. Garfield OBJ
jected to the terms of the proposal be-
cause he believed it would entail an
inevitable increase in the price OF coal
to consumers.
1--WE are all sorry that DR.. Garfield
feels as he does-he's done f1ne
Job" said Secretary Tumulty.
The view at the White House is that
DR.. Garfield was not ignored in the
settlement of the strike. DR.. Garfield's
friends say he does not hold the view
that he was; that his position is that
the government should not have been
put in the attitude of having surren-
dered to the miners.
1t was developed that there was
difference of opinion as to whether the
presidents statement to the public IN
the coal strike should have been made
public before it was carried to Indian
apolis.
The president, White House Off
Gals said, directed that the statement
be made public Saturday night DR..
Garfield understood this would be done
and on Sunday he told Secretary Tu-
multy he believed the statement
should be given out Immediately. The
presidents secretary, It was said, as.
sumed the responsibility.
The miners union officials were
said to have told Attorney General
Palmer and Mr.. Tumulty that publica-
ton OF the statement before the In
dianapolis conference would embar-
rass them In their efforts to have the
miners accept the presidents proposal.
The miners request was made after
DR.. Garfield had left the conference,
officials explained.
At the White House it was said
that DIR. Garfield's letter of resigna-
ton was not available.
