with state or local authorities when
1t is appreciated that on these COM
mittees fell many of the duties eXer-
cised by the fuel administrator
through the war and when tits appre-
ciated that these committees always
were limited in what they could 90
by the stocks of coal on hand, 1t VIII
be realized that their work was OF
the most difficult character.
One of the chief difficulties in the
situation was the fact that conditions
throughout the United States were so
widely different that it was apparent
that it would be impossible to deal
with all sections Of the country alike.
Therefore a great deal of responsible
ity was left with the regional directors
of railroads and with the regional and
local coal committees. However, some
general principles we're laid down I'M
mediately which were followed III
general way throughout the coal strike.
The preliminary rule was laid down
that no coal should be given to any
consumer who had reserve supply,
and that coal should only be given to
meet emergency needs.
Get Reports Daily.
In order to avoid long distance COM
municatiOn, the rule was set up that
persons desiring coal shoulQ make APP
plicatiOn on the road ordinarily sup
plying them with coal and in order
that the central coal committee should
be kept constantly supplied with in
formation machinery was set up under
which each railroad should promptly
report to the central coal committee
and to the regional coal committee the
name, title, location and telephone adj
dress Of the representative of that rail-
road in whom the whole coal question
would be centered for that railroad.
In addition, each regional coal com
mittee was instructed to make daily
reports to the central coal committee
and others mapped out in advance.
Each railroad or each grand division
of the railroad was also instructed to
report daily by wire to the regional
coal committee information as to its
coal situation on the day previous
The regional coal committee to report
daily by wire to the central coal COM
mittee a summary Of the coal situation
in that entire region for the preceding
day.
Summed up, the result Of the
handling Of the coal supply Of the ma
ton by the government has been that
with mobile supply at the beginning
of the strike of 100000 tons of coal
at the disposal of the entire country.
and a production which never reached
50 per cent of normal, with cold wealth
er existing in most parts of the coun-
billiards. in some parts of the coun-
try throughout most Of the strike, the
nation was able to last out six weeks
with very little actual lack of coal by
householders, with practically all pub
Tic utilities supplied with sufficient
coal to meet emergency needs, with
very few Industries actually closed
down, although many would have had
to close down had the strike continued
much longer and with reserve stock
in the hands of the railroads at the
end of the strike of more than II ,OOO-
600 tons of coal which was available
for emergency railroad needs and for
the emergency needs Of governmental
institutions, of public utilities and re-
tailers supplying coal to domestic con-
sumers

Price of Milk Too High,
Man AbandonS His Baby

New YOrk.-The high price of
milk was responsible for a seven
months-old baby being aban-
doned by it's father in the Grand
Central station, according to a
note found in the infants cap by
the police.
''Can't afford him on tine price
of milk they are charging today"
said the note. "There are 9TH
ers am trying to support"
The infant was turned over to
the police by man who said an
other man had asked him ''to
hold the baby" until he came
back.

the children of Kentucky, and with a
conscientious determination to reward
our teachers in way commensurate,
at least in some degree (they could not
be adequately compensatory, with the
great work they are doing for our fu-
ture men and women there Is every
reason to believe that Kentucky will
assume and maintain position worthy
Of her in matters educational"
Mrs. Christine Bradley South, the
assistant secretary Of the Republican
National Committee, gave the follow
ing statement for publication concern
ing the New County School Admins
tration Law:
1.-THE seriousness of the crisis
through which the world is passing
emphasizes the importance of educa-
ton as the hope of democracy. In so
far as is humanity possible, there must
be equality of opportunity for educa-
ton for all the children-rich and
poor, native born and foreign born,
city and country, white and black,
until ignorance everywhere is sup
planted by disciplined information.
Our children are worthy of better
teachers; our teachers are worthy Of
better pay; democratic education Is
entitled to the loyal support Of all.
sour schools must be forever d.
vorced from politics The new County
School Administration Law, when
properly appreciated and properly ap-
piled, will accomplish this end. The
best men and women in each county,
regardless of political affiliation,
should be selected for membership on

WOMEN IN BOTH PARTIES AGREE |
While Opposed In Political Campaign They Are United
~ On Kentucky School Problems

Mrs. John w. Langley, Chairman
wcman's Division Republican Cam
paign Committee, gave your CORE
spondent the following interview con-
corning the new school laws and the
coming election Of County Boards of
Education in November:
ITO my mind the greatest forward
step that has been taken In the dlrec-
tion of a higher standard Of education
was the ratification Of the nineteenth
amendment to the Federal consttu-
ton of placing the ballot in the hands
Of women, and for the reason that her
influence is essentially more constant
Is welded than that of the men in the
home life Of the children which Is the
formation period of their character
and the most enduring part Of It,
"This is not because women realize
any more fully than men do the vital
Importance to the future of the nation
of asgOod clean school system, but be-
cause, as the history of civilization
from its beginning to the present
shows the mothers influence is greater
than that of the father over the chill
dren Of their household. 1t therefore
follows as a matter of course that this
added power to aid in consumating
her ideals will be exercised to the
maximum by her.
mo one will seriously contend that
better education will affect the pOliti-
cal alignment Of the people. 1t will
only better equip them for deciding
how to intelligently cast their votes on
any political question. They will con-
tinue in the future as they have done
in the past to entertain divergent
views as to what character of regisla-
ton and of administration Is best cal
dated to advance the interests of the
Sssdte and the nation. The point wish
to make is that the question of educa-
ton should be exalted above political
questions and entirely divorced from
them.

the County School Board. 70 secure
the right of suffrage for women, We
have insisted always and everywhere
that woman was inclined to feel
more Jealous regard for the rights Of
childhood than man. know Of no
more certain way for woman to justify
the new privilege and the new respon-
sibillty that have come to her than by
using her voice and her vote In secur-
ing better educational opportunities
for the children Of Kentucky, and by
aiding In the election Of county boards
that will think In terms of the rights
of children rather than In the interest
of any party"
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1920-10-06

a "We must secure q deeper interest
or the part of all Of our people In this
greatest Of all movements, for after
all has been said and done, we can
not fully prepare the children of today
for the duties and responsibilities Of
citizenship that they might later as
sume unless we succeed in getting pub
lie sentiment crystalized behind all
strong school movements.
81 believe this is now being accom-
plished by the recent legislation which
has been put into operation and that
the good results Of these laws will con-
tinue to grow as time passes on.
81 sincerely believe that the good
women of our state are going to put
their whole hearts, their minds, and
their strength into this movement and
use the ballot accordingly. If they do
this success Is certain and we will
have happier, brighter and better
Kentucky"
When your correspondent asked
Mrs Samuel w. Wilson, committee
man on the Democratic State Cam
paign Committee, for her views on the
4. recent school laws, which will become
effective next November, she said:
1T gives me peculiar pleasure to
express my sense of gratitude for this
newest evidence Of Kentucky's educa-
t.onal awakening, as expressed In the
new school laws passed by the last SEES
|sion of the Legislature. We have
hoped and worked for SO long to take
FOUR schools out Of politics and to raise
|the salary Of our teachers, that these
new laws creating non-partisan
County Board of Education and fixing
q minimum salary for teachers give
cause for pride and thanksgiving.
There is every reason to hope that
they will prove q decided step In the
right direction. There is no recent
step forward, taken by Kentucky, that
can compare In far-reaching impor-
lance with the laws passed to improve
our educational system. All honor to
our Democratic and Republican legls-
lators who passed these laws.
THE newly enfranchised women of
Kentucky can be of untold service =
our state by electing to our County
Boards of Education the highest type

and women proof against partisan
temptation. who can be depended on to

HIS HEART WAS RIGHT

An uneducated but honest county
superintendent, who lives far back in
the hills Of Kentucky, recently made
the following very unusual and thor
oughly pointed speech to a group of
people who were interested In the
schools:
"Men. when you come to vote for
the members Of this here new County
Board Of Education. put more Chris
tianity and less politics into your vote.
you're my friends; but don't think
Of me In vctin'. but think OF what your
vote means to the childrea."

the educational scale, but there Is evil
dence on every hand that she Is now
thoroughly aroused. II she will fully
realize from this time forth that edu-
cation can not be promoted without
adequate revenue and that the neces-
sary funds must be raised no matter
what the cost. / am sure that with
the exercise of eternal vigilance on the
part Of the men and women Of the
