Car Shortage Pats Down

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2 Because
of the car shortage and railroad con
gestion, bituminous coal production
in January and February was some
3,000,000 tons below that In the cor
responding months of 1917, the Na
tional Coal association announced to
night. The total lost output for the
two months, the statement Raid is
estimated at 31,000,000 and the sug
gestion is made that passenger traf
fic on the eastern roads be further
reduced so that empty coal cars irav

WAR STEP POINTEtOUT
Long Hours Lead to Drink,
He Says; Employers
Will See Truth
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S. Samuel
Compels,- president of the American
Federation of Labor, made an ap
peal today in behalf of an-eight-hour
uay for employes in the meat pack
ing industry at the stock yards wage
arbitration. ile appeared as a wit
ui.su for the "employes and hirf tt'stl
money was eagerly listeiided to by
"Mother" Mary Jones, an organizer
for the United Mine workers, and
several hundred oilier representa
tives of organized labor from all
sections of the country.
After tracing the history of the
fight for a I shorter working day, he
read from a. number of reports and
quoted various large e'mployers of
labor to substantiate his contention
that the eight-hour day in actual
operation had proved profitable to
the employer and highly beneficial
to the men.
. Defining! the attitue of organized
labor toward the war the witness
said: '
'Labor will make every sacrifice
for the successful prosecution of the
war but it will not make any sacri
fice for private profiteering during
the war." .
Advantages Are Three Fold.
"I advocate the eifht-hour t day
on the ground of economy, health
and morals," he said. Men should
only be xeqaired to work overtime
iu times "of greatest emergency or.
for the protection of life and prop
erty, f
"That is why we demand time and
a half for overtime and double pay
for holdiays. We think this penalty
of added expense prevents the em
ployer from asking their men to
work overtime except when it is real
ly ''necessary." '
. He declared that the saloon in the
"back "tEe aidS"djstrict3 was an
argjHiTent In faeor oPthe shorter
vtCrk day and higher wages and that
these demands are granted by the
packers the money spent v by the
stock yard employes In these drink
ing places will materially decrease.
He ridiculed ;the contention cf
witnesses for the packers that short
er hours and higher wages might
increase saloon receipts.
Long Hours Cause iwink.
"It . is the long hours and low
wages tha drive men to drink," Mr.
Gompers said. "This is shown to
aneconomic truth. The fairly wsil
paid workman who-is not required
to work more than eight hours a
clay finds more pleasure and comfort
at home or visiting a theater than he
doeln going to a saloon."
Mr. Gompers said he was present
when John Fitzpatrick, president of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
yards employes to President Wilson
presented the demands of the stock
at "Washington, previous to the agree
ment to arbitrate the dispute and re
membered Mr. Fitzpatrick stating
that there was no shortage of pack
ing plant labor and that if neces
sary the men would work "naked
and without pay" to meet the gov
ernment's War needs.
At the close of his testimony.
Judge Alscbuie the arbitrator, stat
ed the argument of the; packers that
It is impracticable to installthree
eight-hour "shifts in the large plants
and two eight-hour gangs in the
smaller houses and meet the govern
ment's war demands without making

asked if Mr. Compels had any con
crete 'suggestions regarding the prac
tical, application of the shorter d;ry
basi.- in the present emergency.
The witness . said he had little
technical knowledge of the details of
the packing industry, but added "he
believed it could be worked out if
there as a real desire on the part
of the packers to do it.
Wartime Step Seen.
"I would not ask you, Mr. Arbi
trator, to find for the eight-hour day
in this dispute If. 1 thought for a
moment that it would hamper, hinder
or interfere in any way with the win
ning of this war by a single day,"
said Mr. Compels. "I know it is
physically impossible to decrease this
production by shortening the hours
of the ba lc working' day. The eight

wait to conduct "their business with

"There is no such animal as an

Port Ellen. Scotland, Feb. 23.
It H proposed to erect a monument
in the center of the Island of Isday,
one of the liner. Hebrides, to com
raernorite the soldier dead o' the
Tuscania. Irobalrrj- the monument
will take the form of a huse granite

will be a knoll facing the Atlantic
or 3 an on a high elevation r,- from
which can be. seen on a clear day
three different points where the
Americans are buried.
The first proposals to erect this
monument came from residents of
the island and a modest fund was
started for thi? purpose, even before
the burials were completed, but
when the American officials were
consulted they decltred they 'would
gladly assume responsibility for the
project.

complished -
PAiriS. Feb. 27. (Correspond
ence cf the Associated Press.) The
American Red Cross has won unqual
ified approval of the American mili
tary authorities by its stupendous
activites in France. Some of the
facts concerning the achievements of
the American workers already have
been made public but the officials
now are preparing a comprehensive
survey of the work, by summarizing
and eompilins: all data.
The report will show that the or
ganization is operating with ever
increasing effectiveness -and scope In
four great fields. It is engaged in
miljtary work; in civil work; it ope
rates a huge transportation and
warehouse denartnient. and It is do
ins more- and more work with Itel
gian refugees and repatriated
children. .
Activities Are Listed.
Under the auspices of the .military
department of the organization the
report will sJiow the following ac
tivities: Twenty dispensaries are being op
erated in the American army zone
to care for the resident civilians
and to improve health conditions
before more troops arrive.
A total of 3,423 French military hos
pitals are being supplied by the dis
tributing service, which i3 also laying
a large stock for future needs;
while 2,000 French hospitals are be
ing supplied with surgical dressings,
and immense supplies are beinc:
stored up for the use of the Ameri
cans. Twelve canteens are being operat
ed at the front line in connection
with the French Red Cross and
twenty more are planned. -
Six canteens, serving about 30.000
French soldiers daily, are being" op
erated at the larger railroad centers
of France. ,
Sixteen further canteens are beir?r
operated in Paris in connection with
the French and are serving enormous
numbers of soldiers.
Factory Installed At Paris.
An artiflcal limb factory has been
installed near Paris, as well ss
special plants for the manufacture cf
splints and nitrous oxide gas.
A casualty service for gatherln-f
information about the dead and
wounded, and a medical research bu
reau, have been established. f
A larpe canteen for American sold
iers has been Inaugurated at the larg
est of the American aviation camps.
At other camps the Red ross has sup
plied the canteen buildings for the
Y. M. C. A. to operate.
The work of the civil department
is devoted chiefly to refugee and
tuberculosis problems. In this field
the Red Cross has accomplished tho
following results.:
Opened a children's refuge and
hospital at a point in the war zone
where several hundred children have
been gathered to keep them out of
danger of shell fire and gas.
Kstablished a medical center an 1
a traveling dispensary to accomo
date 1200 children at a point among,
the wrecked villages.
Undertaken extensive medical
work for the repatriated children
at Evian, about 500 of whom return
daily from -Germany. f
Opened a hospital and convales
cent home for children at Evian,
where .an extensive ambulance ser
vice is also operated.
Taken over, carried on and devel
oped the extensive anti-tuberculosis
work begun by Mrs. Edith Wharton
and. other Americans.
Completed for the French and un
finished tuberculosis sanatorium
rear Paris adding one thousand beds
to the number already available in
the barracks. ' j
Arranged on a large scale to help
refugee families throughout the win

Provided barracks to asit lit tho
work of training disabled soldiers
to which will be added agricultural
experiment stations.
The transportation and warehouse
department's activities Include:
The establishment of large central
warehouses , in Paris, and distribut
ing warehouses at 'important points
from the ocean to the Swiss border.
In these warehouses are stored hos
pital supplies, food, soldiers com
forts, tobacco, blankets and house
hold goods, kitchen utensils, cloth
ing, beds and other articles of re
I'ef. The department is receiving sev
eral hundred tons of supplies rally,
and is reshipping about seventy-five
per cent of them to points nearer
the front.
The warehouse capacity of the de
partment exceeds 100,000 tons, and
the personnel .of nearly 200 con
sists largely of volunteer Americans
not liable to mflitary duty. .

It is constantly aiding the queen
Of Delgium in her work for the chil

! It'has opened a refuge for 600
Belgian children, and a home for
convalescent repatriate children at
Chateau des Halles. - '
It has instituted a moving child
hygiene campaign at Chartres. where
the first exhibition was given, in a
motor , truck equipped with hygienic
suggestions and aparatus from which
lectures are .given to mothers.
Originally the Red Cross planned
to devote much time and enerby to
rebuilding of the destroyed towns
and villages In the devastated dis
tricts. It was soon found that this
is virtually impossible -' until , after
the war, and Is not favored by the
French government.
In the first place, the inhabitants
are not all readv to return to their
former home cities until the Ger
mans have been driven further back
than at present. Secondly, the work
involved stupendous difficulties be
cause rto rebuild any ?iven city or
town means that quantities of mate
rial and labor forces entirely un
available at present would be
needed.
The organ i zai ion therefore has
been diverted from its original pur
pose and is spending its energies as,
summarized largely in temporary re-1
lief work. .
WOLF CAUSES
UNTOLD LOSS
Old "Peg-Leg" Is Terror of
Range on Ranch Near
Damy, New Mexico
DAMY, N. M-. Feb. 1J. Roaming
over an 87,000 acre ranch near here
Is a wolf, so old, so wary and so
wise that government experts say he
cannot be caught In a trap and that
only two ever have seen htm. This
old wolf, who is called "peg Leg,"
because he lost part of one foot in, a
trap years ago. lias caused ranchers
of this section, such losses that their
total .Is almost unbelievable. These
run. stockmen say,, well Into the
thousands of dollars each year.
There is a good -deal of -stock run
in thia section which Is better than
the average "range cow" and it Is
"Peg Leg's" chief delight, the stock
men declare, to pick out some unus
ua! good "yearling xr 2-year-old
fitter, pull him down and make a
meal of him. Peg Leg's work, the
trappers and. stockmen say. is as eas
ily identified as if he had left a call
ing card, for he always eats from
the same part of the carcass of his
prey, just above the .haunch.
At one time three government
hunters, men chosen by the biolog
ical survey for their adeptness.
spent several weeks in a vain effort
to locate the wily wolf. At present
one of the best shots in the biologi
cal survey's service is-attempting to
