had wartime draft experience, that
work necessary in the army should
be classified by occupations in order
that the classification of men called
to the colors could be expedited and
their assignments be based on the
similarity of their civil training and
military work they were best fitted
to perform. 1t was also believed that
the classification of men should tegin
when they were called by local draft
boards and not await their arrival at
mobilization centers.
Another point brought out was the
difficulty of dealing in the army with
men of low mental caliber. A sug-
gestion was made that the regulations
should prevent such men from being
called for active military service.
The conferees were in harmony
also as the desirability of using men
available only for limited military
service from the beginning of the
operation of the draft law and not
deferring such cases for later treat
ment
To meet the problem of dealing
with limited service and occupaticnal
specialists the suggestion was made
that clearing pool centers for each
of these groups might be established
and that the excess from the various
local boards could be turned over to
these pools for further assignment.
The plan would work especially we'll
in distribution of specially qualified
occupational specialists, it was held.

With Governor Small having ap-
pointed his committees to super
wise priority orders for coal, DR.. +.
&c. Honnold, secretary Of the Illinois
Coal Operators association, pre-
dicted the coal rationing in the
state will be over in two months, If

Discussing the loss in Illinois
from the strike, DR.. Honnold's
statement said:
"Deducting Sundays, the actual
working days lost since April /
were 1919, and according to past
experiences, the mines would have
worked about three days a week,
or sixty-five days. The average
daily earnings of Illinois miners
for 1921 was $3.50, or $l07h cents
an hour"
He estimated the loss to the in
dividual miner on this basis at 1858
for the period or $50, 900 for the
10000 miners in the state. The
idle day cost to the mining COM
panies he estimated at $25,OO0,OOO.
He said the consumers have prob
ably paid an average excess In
price and freight of SO a ton for
100000 tons, probable total of
$30,000,000.
