U. S. WORKERS CONSIDER
STANDARDIZED DOLLAR

The board Of representatives of
Federal Employer Union, No. 2, will
hold a special meeting Friday night
to discuss the Fisher plan for the
standardized dollar.
Under this plan the dollar. instead
Of representing certain amount of
gold and being variable in purchasing
power, would always buy the same
amount of commodities, but would be
variable in the amount of gold it
represents.
The standardized dollar has received
the attention of Congress. A bill re-
Gently was introduced by Congress-
man Hustled directing that q commit
tee be appointed to Investigate any
plans which may be presented to n to
stabilize the purchasing power Of the
American dollar.
At Friday nights meeting the 3e,-
600 members of the union will be
given the opportunity to familiarixe
themselves with the plan before vot-
ing on resolutions urging Congress to
make such an investigation.

MINUS j. S. RELIEF

IL President Wilson returns the
railroads to their owners January 1,
they will go back without any perma-
nent legislation defining their status
or providing for their future, it ap-
peared certain today.
Hope of passing the Cummins rail-
road bill in the Senate before the holi-
day recess has faded. But even If it
should pass by next Saturday, when
the recess is scheduled to begin, It
will be practically impossible for
House and Senate conferees to agree
on the measure which will finally be
enacted. within the two weeks re-
cess. House and Senate leaders fear.
Senator LaFollette, who has already
spoken on the bill for four days, will
continue today, assailing the labor
provisions.
Dozens OF amendments have been
proposed, and it seemed not unlikely
today that the debate might last all
next week.

Director General Hines, in reyok-
ing the fuel regulations. declared:
Until the production of bituminous
coal becomes normal it is vitality
necessary that it be conserved in
every possible way, and even after
production reaches normal it will be
necessary to CONTINUED to conserve
coal because of the Loss in production
of between 10000, 900 and $4,000 900
tons during the coal stiil1e. 1t is i'm
portant. therefore, that the public ex-
ercise the greatest caution in the con-
sumption of coal"
Mr.. Hines declared that coal was
being moved from the East to the
West in as large quantities as is ad-
visable. The first increase in produc-
ton resulting from the termination
of the strike was in the East, the Di-
rector General said.

Subsequent to the strike settlement
he is expected to consult with Presi-
dent Wilson regarding the strike. An

newly created commission to study
conditions in the mines, with a view
to making further changes in wages
and hours, probably will be made soon
after President Wilson and Palmer
discuss the matter.
