portant factor in the miners ability
to continue the general suspension. is
for the final half of March. The big
sum is several times the total cash Of
the union organizations, and is the
only big cash payment that will come
during the suspension. the union war
chest not permitting any general
strike benefits.
The exact amount and its appor-
tionment in various coal fields is not
a certainty, but William Green. secre-
tary-treasurer OF the union, declared
that $30.000.000 Is a very conserva-
tive" estimate. Mine owners here
agreed with this statement.

Pennsylvania anthracite region, and

On this basis, all of the unions half

Action in Ten Days Expected.
Despite any criticism, the program

to have outlined to Elmer Dover, as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury.
who has been selected to make the
necessary changes, is going to be set
in active motion within ten days. At
that time more than half a dozen
persons holding important and high

government will be asked either to
resign or to take less important places.
and their successors will Immediately be
appointed. In fact. the latter. il is
said, already have been selected and
are merely waiting for the AK to start
falling.
Although it is explained that these
changes are not to be classed as a
part of the political spoils system,
but are to be made purely i'll the
interest of improving the working
conditions in the departments in
volved, 1t was intimated that with
only one exception the executives

is said, will come up next for his
attention.

method of selecting the postnasters

The system under which the present
administration is working, that is
of taking one of the three highest
under a competitive examination, is
regarded by the White House as
giving, on the whole, fairly good sat
isfaction.
Criticism Having Effect.
The administration recognizes that
there is considerable criticism in some
quarters over the present method of Sc
lecting postmasters. however. and Of
dcials suggested that if there was too
much irritation the President might be
forced to withdraw some postmasters
from under the modified civil service
plan.
An alternative had been suggested. it
was added, for the President, in case the
Irritation increased. to withdraw the
first, second and third class postmasters
from the civil service, where they were
placed by executive order, and to have
persons desiring appointment as post
masters take a civil service examination
upon recommendation of their congress-
men, so that postnasters could be
named from this list.
1t was made clear, however, that the
administration had no intention Of
abandoning the present system.

Pasteurization of Milk

Paris July 17.-An address from
Nathan Straus of New York, on
prevention of Infectious Diseases
caused by Milk and Butter" was one
of the features of the International
Congress for the Protection of Wo-
men and Children recsntly in session
here. Mr.. Straus' address told of the
progress in protecting the milk sup
ply in the United States from the
days when that fluid was carrier of
disease, to the present when the milk
supply Cannot reach the consumer
in most of our great centers of popu.
lation without bearing the essential
safety reached by pasteurization.'
rhe address added:
81 feel that this work is sufficiently
known and introduced in all direc-
tions so that l can turn my atten-
tion to another and kindred subject.
All l have claimed and proven as to
the danger which turks in raw milk
applies with equal force to cream,
ice cream, cheese and butter. Next to
milk it is butter which for the chill
dren's sake requires serious atten-
tion."
Mr.. Straus quoted DR.. Schroeder of
the United States Bureau of Animal
Industry, as saying:
"To secure safe butter supply re-
quires that we should add to the wide
ly practiced pasteurization of milk
distributed to the consumer as milk
the pasteurization of all cream used
to make butter. 1t is the only avail
able economically reasonable expeGi
ent that has been proven over and
over again to afford protection
against the dangers that too often
lie hidden in raw milk and its pro-
ducts"
