Suggest Wartime Solution.

The activity of the food admin
istration is necessarily founded on
securing the largest service and
the least disruption and danger to
distribution during this period of
national strain. To take such
radical step as to seize the pack
ers' branch houses for the war,
would effect no permanent values
and would surely disrupt distribu-
ton at this time The packers are
today performing their economic
duties of preserving and distrib-
uting the meat supplies &c our own
population and the allies. as dis
tinguished from the social results
of their organization. and the only
outstanding question from a purely
win-the-war point of view is
whether the packers are today i'm
posing upon their competitors and
whether their remuneration is eX-
orbitant. These are matters which
can be remedied during the war
by regulation and taxation.
Il would, in any event separate
the whole problem into a question
as to what should be cone as
war emergency and what should
be done as permanent solution of
the whole question. | do not feel
that the government should under
take the solution of the problem
by the temporary authority con-
ferred under the war powers of the
railway and food administrations
which must terminate with peace
but rather that it should be laid
before congress for searching con-
sideration, exhaustive debate and
of public oplnion. just
as has been necessary in the devel-
opment of the public Interest in
our banks, insurance companies
end railways.

waste of life when we consider that
tuberculosis is classed as a prevent
able disease. Moreover, because this
loss of life occurs almost entirely
in the ranks of the young adult
population. health authorities the
world over have come to consider
the control of tuberculosis as still
the most pressing health problem
confronting them. Every year the
National tuberculosis Association,
by selling Red Cross Christmas
Seals, raises a considerable sum of
money to be used in a nationwide
campaign to combat tuberculosis
This year a special effort is being
made to interest school children in
this work, and December fifth, sixth
and seventh have been designated
as days on which the seals are to
be sold in the public schools, syna-
gogues and churches. Because of
the seriousness of the situation,
trust that the campaign this year
will be particularly successful"

WHAT MINER GETS
AND WHAT He WANTS


what higher cost for mine work,
also has had to pay a higher cost
for all materials that went into the
mines, when this is computed on a
tonnage basis, the amount is infin-
itesimal
eve have figured the whole sit
uation out in percentages. TO come
down to simple figures we find that
of the increased labor cost of a ton
of coal the miners share has been
20 cents. The share of the day la
borer has been larger in percentage,
but inasmuch as the day labOrer
constitutes but , I per cent of the
total working force, it is generous
to concedc that the higher cost Of
day labor has added 20 cents to the
cost of ton of coal. Granting that
day labor adds that much, the total
added cost of getting out a ton of
coal is 40 cents. Compare that with
the raise in selling price of coal
from the 1916 price of $1.25 to the
present price of SO, and you have
the operators reason for wishing to
continue labor costs and selling
price in status quo. 1t is clear also
why indefinite negotiation would
be profitable to the operators.
in past negotiations the oper-
ators have always insisted that the
price of a ton of coal on the gen
eral market must be the basis on
which to negotiate wages. To this
we have always agreed, and when
ever the operators have been able
to prove that a proposed wage raise
would not enable them to operate
and reap fair profit we have con-
sidered that as conclusive and with
drawn the demands. On that basis
the miners are willing to negotiate
today without reservations. They
are willing TO withdraw all of their
demands and negotiate on the ba-
sis of present conditions in the coal
mines, both as to prices and hours.
THE miners cannot overlook the
cost of living, because it is pressing
upon them every day. Even on the
basis of the lowest figure yet made
to cover the increase in living costs,
which is rs per cent, and which we
do not accept as accurate, it will
be seen that the miners are work
ing at reduction in wages, while
the operators are reaping the ben
eft of a clear 1870 per cent gain in
the income from our output

Skilled Trades, Is Favor

MANY A. Z. F. MEN SIGN
Offer to Teach Young Men
Special Callings Attracts

First results Of the War Depart
mtnts nation wide campaign for re-
cruits for Americas peace army have
shown a decided preference for the air
service among applicants who have pre-
scented themselves SO far, according to
officials on duty at the recruiting head
quarters in 461 Eighth avenue. This
may be accounted for 1t was explained
yesterday, by the diversity OF oppor-
tunity for learning skilled trades that
tho air service offers and to some extent
10 the popular appeal to the Imagination
that attaches to anything connected with
the flying branch of the service.
Brig. Gen. Wilbur FL Wilder. in
charge Of the recruiting campaign In
the metropolitan district, expressed
himself yesterday as highly gratified
with the progress of the drive and par
ticularly with the class of men who are
applying. The most satisfactory fea-
turc of tho campaign So rar has been
tho response indicated TO the War De-
DO rtment's offer of free tuition in
nearly 100 skilled trades by young men
who have no particular trade and are
anxious to grasp this opportunity to
acquire one and draw pay while they
are learning 1t.
Figures for the various recruiting sta
tons in the metropolitan district will
be available, 1t was said. to-day and
these will show to what extent the War
Departments campaign of advertising
has been effective. 1t was said yester-
day that the average of men accepted
was about so per cent. OF the number
applying. and OF these a large proper
tioE was made up Of men honorably
discharged from the A. Z. F., but who
have enlisted again for three years in
crder TO complete their education in
some particular line.
There are exceptions. however. as Ia
shown by the case of Walter Belgen, a
voting Swiss. who signed up yesterday In

ternaster Corps. Belgen. who Is a
