their employees. Other successes marked Sineys leadership of the an thracite organizations, but in 1873, he quit to become president of the sec ond national union of coal miners, the Miners National Association of the United States of America, which Oct. 13. 1873, by miners from the soft coal fields.
 Within a year, the Miners National Association claimed a membership of "A, 900 scattered throughout seven middle western states, but nation wide depression had set in with the panic of 1873 and the union ceased to exist in 1878. A year before, the the anthracite field had been crushed in a strike.
 For several years, there was no na- tonal union but organization in the coal fields was continued, often secret ly, under the local independ plan. Such organizations efforts continued until 1885 when the next move was started for national unity among mine workers, and soon two national organizations were struggling for supr emacy.
 Two soft coal field workers, meet ing at Indianapolis, September g, 1885, organized the National Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers. which in its first year started the collective bar gaining movement between miners and operators that exists today. The Knights of Labor which began organ fzfng locals in the coal fields includ- ing the anthrac cite. in 1877 formed a miners branch-the National Trades Assembly N. 135-at a meeting at St. Louis May 20, 1886.
 Efforts to unite these two organiZa- tions failed until 1890, one attempt m ISSS being marked by the national Federation of Miners and Mine Labor CTS dlssolvlng but reconstituting itself as the National Progressive Union. Although there were two national un- ions both participated in the joint conferences with operators that mark ed the collective bargaining move ment started in 1885. Finally, in 1890 the two unions joined forces as the United Mine Workers of America
 In the anthracite field, the United Mine Workers of America began work at intensive organization in 1897, and strikes in 1900, 1902, 1906 and 1912 won substantial wage advances until now the union claims a membership there of more than half the workers though 1t is not officially recognized by the operators. t

Plan Hospital For Injured
 War Vets

Washington. April 29 - Federal hospitaization for all shell-shocked veterans of the World War is the ob- .jective of the United States Veterans Bureau.
 Plans 10 provide adequately for these incapacitated eN-soidlers are Nnow in the hands of Colonel Charles R. Forbes. director of the bureau They were submitted to him by a conference on neuropSychiatric spe- cialiStS called into session here to con sider the arrange rneIlts being made hv the government for the care of its disabled veterans who are suffering from nervous diseases and to draft suggestions and proposals for ln- improvements in existing conditions.
 On the basis that vocational train ing for the sheII-shociled men would fail unless . system of Federal hos r.italiza ton were provided where they could be trained and where individual care and study could be furnished for them, the specialists said that It was of 'paranlcunt importance that this class of veterans be placed in gov cTnrnent-opeTated hospitals.

 It was estimated for officials of the Veterans Bureau that 5000 neuro- DsvcnIE.Tic eases would oe hospital ized before the peak WaS reached and recommended that S.95O beds be provided as Soor as possible penang she embellishments Of special hospi- aa.s. The cost of these extra beds was figured at S1G,OG1. DOC.
 Immediately after the a~Inistice 1T became necessary for the government to place . number of men in contract hospitals. as there were TO aGeouate Federal facilities. Many of th csc in stitutions were not equipped to care for the nervous eases which were cent 70 them. and a result the men did not get the care and observation 10 which they were entitled if their mental and physical conditions were 10 undergo any improvement during the period Of 1heiS confinement
 The conference of specialists said, however that it was necessary Tor the government to continue to eI1- yoloy the contract system until gov ernrnent facilities were available.
 Establishment of training centres for the training or personei engag- ed in neuropsychiatric work was recomm ended by the conference This personnel would include physicians, nurses and psychiatric workers. T. was suggested that this training should he intensive i- character and that l. should consist os lectures as wei as actual laboratory arsd vs-o Wor<

Vets Hospitals May Be Put To
 Public Usage

Chicago. H.. April 2s-In provid,. ing for the cars and treatment or is establishing hospital facilities which later can be used for the benefit or the people Of the country, according to a letter from President Harding received by Matthew O. Foley, exc cutive secretary of the National Hos pital Day Committee
 President Harding endorsed the ob- servance of National Hospital Day, May 12~ and commanded the move ment sponsored by hospitals Of the country to acquint the people With the purpose and scope of hospital ser vice. More than 4,00O hospitals are enlisted in this movement, and have planned programs for National Hos pital Day, including "open house" for the community, graduation of nurses, and exhibitions of N-ray, dietary, oc- cupational therapy and other depart ments.
 T was pleased to learn that you are going to celebrate National Hos pital Day again this year. on May 12, the anniversary of the birthday of Florence Nightingale the President wrote:
 T feel that it is particularly worth while to continue this observance at which have lately come to my atten- tion with regard to hospital and hos pital service. both in this country and abroad. America has led the world
  maintenance of modern hospitals, and in this regard our facilities are far superior to those of any other community. Yet by reason of the extra ordinary demands for care of the disabled men of the World War, we are long way from adequate equipment
 fsI have been told that in some of the European countries. where very large hospital establishment was crea- ted to meet the requirements of the war. it has now proven almost inn possible to obtain the necessary en- dowment funds and community in- terest in these institutions, to keep them doing the great humane work which should be carried on by them, whether in war or in peace time
 For myself, I have felt that in establishing the great hospital facili- ties which are needed for the soldiers we will be providing ourselves with a facility whose usefulness will con- tinue after the soldiers have been properly cared for and discharged When that time comes I trust ways ments utilized for the general inter est Of the community through local associations similar to those that maintain so large a proportion of hos pitals all over the country.
 "One of the finest and most humane products of our civilization is the modern hospital. and every activity which aims to assure its advantages deserves all possible encouragement"
 Last year. following the endorse Inent of President Harding. hospitals in every state and the District of Day program, in which they were joined by hundreds of Canadian hos pitals- This year hospitals of Eng land and Australia have indicated their interest and a number in each of these countries will observe the day.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 2e - The United Mine Workers of America, the largest single. craft labor union not only Tn the United States but also in the world, has a membership of a half-million men scattered throughout the country. with 8 few thousand in Canada. John L. Lewis of Spring field, ILL, is it's president and recog- nized leader. Union headquarters are maintained in this city.

 C. J. Harris. head of the Legion's service division, reports an alarming condition due to the lack of proper facilities for quarterihg and treating the demented veterans. More than 9.oOO young men. whose afflictions range from harmless mental disor- ders and high nervous tension to ray ing insanity, are confined in Veterans Bureau hospitals alone, while at least 5000 more are held in contract in SutulonS. state and county insane asy- lums, jails and private hospitals
 In a city near Indianapolis, MT. Harris reports, a service man. Sheu,shocked in military service, be- came slightly mentally unbalanced and began acting queer" according % his family. The case was reported to the Veterans Bureau, but instead or allowing the Bureau time enough Co find place for the patient, the parents took him to an insane asylum Tor observation. While being observ- cd. however. a document legally com in.et;ng the man to the insane asylum vas read to him. The commitment for insanity so preyed upon the shell shocked young man. MT. Harris de- ciareS. that shortly he became a rav- ing maniac. confined in a padded cell.
