CABINET MEMBERS
INVITED TO enroll
WITH CITIZENS
Central Committee Sends
Out S. O. S. for More So
Iicitors to Aid Campaign.

The members of President Wilson's
cabinet were asked this afternoon to
become active citizens of Washing
ton. their temporary home.
They were visited by the central
committee in charge of the organized
citizenship drive and asked to join
the citizens association in whose ter
ritory they reside.
w. B. Westlake. president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
drive, went to the White House at
noon to put the citizenship appeal
up to the cabinet members after their
meeting.
Secretary Lansing of the State De-
rartment and Secretary.Lane of the In
terror Department were the first to join.
Attorney General Palmer, Secretary
Wilson of the Department Of Labor
and Secretary Daniels of the. Navy
later also signed application blanks.
The central committee in charge of
the drive today sent out an S. o. S.
for more solicitors to help in can
vassing the downtown section.
W. b. Westlake, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
in charge of downtown soliciting.
made special appeal for women who
can devote time to the canvass.
Plans Thorough Canvass.
Mr.. Westlake is planning to have a
solicitor in each office building, as well
as the government buildings. He said
he felt confident there are scores of
men and women who will not hesitate
to .join the association in his or her
neighborhood if the canvasserS put the
question to them.
|, Another indication of the progress
being made was furnished today by the
report from Anacostia that the asso-
citation in that section enrolled 100 new
members Saturday night.
Owing to the fact that all of the
soliciting is being done by the members
of the associations after working hours
in the evening, the central committee
has found it impossible to get reports
from the various associations of their
results so far
All of the neighborhood canvassers
the central committee has heard from,
however. say the people of their sec
tions are. joining in large numbers.
The solicitors have found that in all
parts of the city there are hundreds
of residents who have never taken an
interest in the work OF the associa
tions because of MISUNDERSTANDING of
the aims and accomplishments OF
these civic bodies.

Need Time for Adjustment.

Of course, it takes long time TO
work out settlement in coal con-
troversy. For instance. the present
basis of settlement applies to what Is
known as the central competitive
field, which includes western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and illinois,
but this. it has already been agreed
upon between operators and miners.
shall be the basis for the wage scales
in the outlying districts. On the other
hand. a settlement in the central
competitive field will carry such
weight that the men in the other dis
tricts will go back to work feeling
confident of what their wage in
creases will be.
There seems to have been some diff
ference of opinion between Secretary
Wilson and some of the statisticians
representing the operators as to the
number of men who are employed in
the pick mining of coal The oper-
ators insisted that the Secretary was
computing his wage increases on a ba-
sis of picked mining rates, when, as a
matter of fact, the machine mining of
coal yielded. the sEeater production.
The misunderstanding is. doubtless,
due to the fact that one side looked at
production and the other looked at
the number of men actually employed
1t is true that the actual production of
coal by machine mining is about 56
per cent or thereaboutS, and that the
pick mining yields in the neighbor-
hood of A per cent, or at least Al per
cent, according to more conservative
estimates.
But in figuring the high cost of
living. the Department of Labor did
not concern itself with the relative
quantities produced by machine and
by hand. 1t did concern itself with
the actual number of men employed
in picked mining. for obviously it
takes more men to produce by this
method than by machines. In fact.
the Secretary of Labor claims that
at least 81 per cent OF the men en-
ployed in the bituminous fields are
engaged in picked mining. So he ap-
piled his figures on the cost of liv-
ing to that situation.

Half of Work at Night.

In a statement regarding the ardu-
Gus duties of the women who nightly
clean the millions of square feet of
floor space in the great government
department buildings, II. c. Bonault,
chairman of the charwomen's COM
mittee. declared that about one-half
the charwork is now being done at
night in eight hours, from II O'Clock
pm. to 7:30 o'clock am. Some de-
partments have shifts from to 8

The work is done during the hours
that are most wearing on the nerves
and health in general" stated the
brief for the charworkers. THE task
for eight hours per cleaner is 10000
square feet of office space to be swept
and mopped. furniture busted, paint
washed and transoms cleaned"
Each head charwoman. it is pointed
out, has supervision of 100000 square
feet of cleaning space.
"Of all the employees of the federal
government" the brief asserted, "the
forewomen and charwomen require
your sympathetic consideration for a
fair living wage, over 80 per cent be-
ing married, with families of which
they are the providing heads"

MAN WHO MADE A PRESIDENT.


The man who made Woodrow Will
son president of the United States is
now attorney general. 1t is tht second
time he has been offered a cabinet
post. He declined to become secretary
of war in 1913 because he was a
Quaker and had scruples against par
ticipating in warlike measures. Pa
triotis outranks religious scruples,
however, and when the test came and
A. NJ. Palmer was appointed alien
property custodian he unfettered
American industry from German PEN
etration.
1t may have heen George Harvey
who discovered Wilson's potentialities,
but it was Palmer who kept them
alive at the moment of the crisis. The
crisis came when Champ Clark re-
ceived a majority of votes at the Bal
ttimore democratic convention. Will
sons fight was in the hands of Pal
Inner, his floor manager, and McCombs,
his campaign manager, Wilson wired
them to withdraw his name and fall
in line for Clark. BY disregardipg this
order, they made him president.
