Mrs. Lowell f. Hobart. national
president, calls attention to the actual
reconstruction work accomplished by the
14O, 900 members, a number which they
hope will be augmented to 200, 900 in
the middle of October, when the nu-
tioral convention will be held.
"Women of the auxiliary have re-
sponded magnifcently to the plea for
service" says Mrs. Hobart in her re-
port. "The providing Of comforts for
the men who, falling victim to after
war ills, are destitute has become.
recognized part of the work Of thee
American Legion Auxiliary.
There is great work here for
women. Hundreds of thousands re-
sponded during the war, but they over
look the fact that for the 49, 900 vet
erans in hospital and the 11O, 900 taking
over. The women must carry it on. and
It is this task that the American Legion
has set itself to do"
1t Is stated by Government authori-
ties that the new cases are developing
every month and that the peak will not
be reached until 1926. In theory these
men must be hospitalized and compen-
sated, but the theory has not generally
been put into practice, according to
Mrs. Hobart.
The program of the auxiliary in
cludes the visiting Of hospitals, enter
tainment of the men where possible, vis-
iting and aid to the families of men in
hospitals and to the families Of those
who died in the service or Of disabilities
since the close of the war.
There are S0SS members of the aux
iliary in the State Of Pennsylvania,
and Mrs. George Phelps Rose, of Sc
wickly, Pa, commander Of the State
department and a member of the Ma
tional Executive Committee, concurs in
the report just sent out by the national
commander.
According to the latest report of the
United States Veterans Bureau, of the
2S. 900 men in hospitals there are 1854
tubercular cases. 0157 mental cases and
SO73 general surgical cases. The ma :
jority are in Government hospitals and
the remainder In county poor farms,
insane asylums, private contract hos
pitfalls, penitentiaries and Jail hospitals.

A comprehension keen, alert,
A vision broad and wise
And from his pupils shining forth

OF rare sagacity.
Behind his broad and ample brow
There looms noble nut
That rules with perspicacity
His cunning 0cciput;
How do l know that he's SO grave
Whom once thought 80 light?
Well, yesterday heard him say
He reads the stuff write.

Prices May Soar
Another effect OF this combined rail
and coal strike applicable TO Q large part
of the trans Mississippi country Is not
only the danger of fuel shortage, but
e1orbitant increases IN the cost to con.
sumers.
Prices In recent years, as q result OF

and 800 per ton for bituminous coal In
the Dakotas and further West. :.

It has been pointed out In these dis
patches that this is a progressive

it. The evidence Of this is that the

latest Is the reported walkout Of the
clerical force on the Chesapeake and
Ohio. The Norfolk and Western has
recently expressed similar difficulty,
while the Baltimore and Ohio has beer
compelled to withdraw some Of its fast
trains.
The Government IL watching this de
velopment closely. Attorney Genera
Daugherty sees a connection between
this phase Of the rail strike and the
miners strike, as is evident from hi,
statement that, "It appears that ther,
is a relationship between the railroad
situation and the coal strike. Whether
this relation is conspired or inspired

Propagandists Of the striking shop

abolishing trains, not from coal short.
age, but because Of bad order equip

strike.
I obtained today the orscial report on
rolling stock and its condition, which
disproved the claim Of Mr.. Jewells
organization.
The latest figures available were those
were 9. 275 500 freight cars Of all classes
on the various railroad lines Of the
country, Of which 332 ,6S1 were classed
as bad order" cars.
Another claim Of the strikers has
been that the falling off in the coal ton. :.
mage was due to the large number OF bad
order cars through there being a lack
Of shopmen TO effect repairs.
This also isn't borne out By official
figures, particularly among the railroads
engaged in the transportation Of fuel.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
on June Is had but : Ito per cent of
its freight cars classcd as bad order.
Norfolk and Western. which taps the
largest Western Virginia coal field. had
but 4 6-10 per cent in that classifica
ton, while the Pennsylvania Railroad
reported but fraction over 8 per cent
in state Of bad repair.
The Reading Railroad reported ex-

actly the same percentage while the
Delaware and Hudson's was 8 clio per
cent.
The highest ratio of bad order cars
was reported by the Baltimore and
Ohio. 1t was 13 7-10 per cent. while
the next highest in the group was the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
with fraction less than 13 per cent.
Reduce Trains to Save Fuel
While the percentage of cars in bad
order has undoubtedly increased since
the beginning Of the shopmen's strike.
1t is evidently not nearly as large as
they would have the public believe.
The claim that the reduction of trains
is due to a desire to economize on coal
must be accepted as a fact.
The coal situation rather than the
railroad strike is uppermost here in the
public mind. In the Northwest, ac.
cording to all information, 1t is not only
critical. but is growing desperate.

Negotiations have apparently reached

opinions widely vary. A prevalent in

long drawn struggle OF gradually les

Another view Is that as the coal
