COAL SITUATION SERIOUS.

The coal situation for the coming
winters coal supply is becoming daily
more evolved. Most Of the mines
in Alabama are already shut down
and have been idle for nearly two
months, and now comes word Of
trouble in the great coal fields of r.
linois, where fully half of the mines
are idle, and by Monday all will be
idle with all union miners out on a
strike, according to announcement
issued today by President Frank Far
rington of the miners state organi-
cation, after receiving kilograms
from scores of local unions. The
strike is on behalf of the "day" men,
who want higher wages.
President Harrington said the men
were beyond his control. The trou-
BILE, Mr.. Harrington said, was brought
to a head by action of the Chicago
conference this week, when opera
tors refused to yield to the demands
without the approval of the federal
officials.

Editor. The Weekly Iberian,
New Iberia, La.
Dear Sir:
Last March / enlisted in the Army
and am now member of Battery A
10th Field Artillery, at Camp Pike
Arkansas.
The 10th Field Artillery is part OF
the famous Third Division which
stopped the Germans on their trip to
Paris in July, 1918. 1t makes fel-
low feel proud to be member of a
Division that has such fine war re-
cord.
Here is what General Perishing
said about us in one of his orders
"Your achievements, which are scar
|cely to be equalled in American his
tory, must remain source of proud
satisfaction to the troops who parti-
cipated in the last campaign of the
war. The American people will re-
member it as the realization of the
hitherto potential strength of the
American contribution toward the
cause to which they had sworn allie
gance. There can be no greater re-
ward for soldier or for a soldiers
memory"
Every provision is made for our
comfort and for the entertainment Of
Uncle Sans fighting men. Our regi-
ment has it's own service club, with
pool tables, barber shop and canteen.
We have our own baseball field and
baseball team. There are free NOV
ing picture and theatrical shows in
Camp.
In the morning we drill and learn
the technical part of our branch (the
famous rs millimeter gum In the
afternoon We have off, or we can at
tend Camp Pike College. Camp
Pike College has closed for the sum
mer, but it had 5000 students last
session, lit was the largest educa-
tional institution in Arkansas.) 1t
will reopen this fall. A fellow can
learn almost anything at Camp Pike
College.
In addition to regular schooling he
can learn almost any skilled trade.
Last session the largest class was
learning to be automobile mechanics.
There were also many men learning
the carpentry, plumbing and other
trades.
If fellow applies himself an en-
listment in the Army with attendance
at Camp Pike College will fix him so
he will be able to take care Of him
self after he gets out Of the army.
Any boy over sixteen, with the con-
sent Of his parents, can join the army
and get an education. He earns
while he learns. l live in good bar
racks and my drill and athletics give
me good appetite.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Villermin,
Battery A, 18th F. A., Camp Pike,
Arkansas.

APPEAL TO WILSON.
Mine Operators Ask President to
Take Action.

Illinois coal operators have appeal
ed to President Wilson to take some
action to check the strike Of laborers
employed at their mines.
In memorandum left at the White
House for the Presidents considera-
ton, the operators expressed the fear
that the strike might spread from n
|linois throughout the central competi-
tive field, stopping bituminous coal
production in Indiana, Ohio and West
ern Pennsylvania, as well as in Illi-
nois.
No answer from the President had
been received up till this time by the
operators, and they remained here
for a conference tomorrow with Sec
rotary Tumulty.
