Local Committees Important.
"The local thrift committee is the
most important element In the entire
Savings organization. Upon this com
mittee rests the responsibility of
establishing the study and practice OF
thrift. To transform an extravagant
nation into nation of savers, into a
nation whose people think before they
spend; spend intelligently and invest
wisely-that Is the mission Of the local
thrift committee.

GOVERNMENT IS
 READY FOR BIG
 M|NERS' STRIKE
Machinery to Cope With Great Industrial Crisis
 at Working Full Speed.
100000 WILL GO OUT
With Strike Order Effective Monday, Thousands Have
 Already Quit Work.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Preparations for the great industrial struggle precipitated by the decision of 100000 coal miners through their union representatives to strike went grimly forward today.
 The machinery the Government has established to cope with what is expected to be the great industrial crisis in the history of the British Empire is already working smoothly and at full speed.
 The miners are equally active, Welsh workers and some others al ready having quit work and the re- mainder preparing to stop promptly Monday morning when the strike order becomes effective
 Meanwhile the public is waiting anxiously, even .fearfully, for the real beginning of a battle which hits the very vitals of the country.
 The executive committee of rail way workers has called meeting for Wednesday to decide what ac- tion the railroad will take.
 Many iron and steel plants have already succumbed to the strike threat, especially in Yorkshire, where 10000 have been thrown out of work and many thousands more are expected to be next week.
 Premier David Lloyd George, in a public appeal to the people to support the Government in the crisis, today said the Government had done everything possible to avoid the strike and that the min CTS, rejecting all offers of com promise are trying to gain their ends by force.
 "The nation will resist to the last moment and to the last ounce of its strength" he said, "and there can be no doubt of the result"

active citizens steal the quota of wood from the others.
 "The wood yards have been na- tionalized One of them has been given up entirely to the manufactur- CTS of 30,000 collins monthly. But even this number is insufficient. The people have not time to bury the dead, and the bodies take their turn, waiting several days.
 "Only one important tramway line is in operation and that runs to the suburbs.
 Wood Blocks Stolen
 Attempts to, repair the streets, which are full of holes owing to bursting waterpipes failed because the wood blocks used for pavement had been stolen at night for fuel. Lighting is allowed only two half hours each day.
 Kerosene costs 450 rubles pound and there are no candles; most homes are in darkness. There is no means of transporting things by waterways, because the barges were long since demolished for fuel. The railways transportation is devoted almost exclusively to the distribution of flour. Only 200 persons are per mitted to leave Petrograd daily by passenger train. Workmen receive a half pound of bread daily and some times other food is given. The prices of foodstuffs continue to rise to incredible heights.
 "The mortality has reached a start ling rate owing to the lack of food and unsanitary conditions of houses and streets. Fat has left the major ity of the population long ago. At present the muscular tissue is being consumed. The faces of the people have taken on a wax-like color. In order to fill their stomachs with something they drink different sub stitutes for tea and coffee or great quantities of plain water, resulting in puffiness and dropsy, which change the expression of the face so that old acquaintances are unrecog- nizable.
 Houses Tumblne Down
 "The decay of property is aided not only by the colossal prices of materials and wages-slightest re- pair work costs not under 100000 rubles-but also bv fact that house norters are needed for wood cutting. At present houses are looked after by beggars and committees of com munists.
