10 LLM.W.OFA.MAY ASK GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF MINES Committee Expected to Re port Favorably on Resolu tion For U. S. Ownership By Associated Press Indianapolis, Jan. 16.—Tho reso lutions committee of the United Mine Workers of America, in bien nial convention here, is expected to report favorably a resolution advo cating: government ownership of this toal mines of the country provided they are conducted along demo cratic lines. The miners' convention of 1914 went on record in favor of Federal ownership and the present gathering of coal diggers, according to leaders among the delegates, will reaffirm the stand taken four years ago. Not all coal miners, it is said, are in favor of government ownership, as there are many who advocate pri vate ownership where the union workers have a hundred per cent, organization and work under collec-j tive bargain agreements. The reso- i Jution expected to be reported will l declare that the union miners in the event of government ownership, coming to pass, shall have represen-i tation in the operation of the mines. l Anything less than this, miners de clare, would not be democracy. Another resolution to be reported with a favorable recommendation: will oppose the employment of wo men in hazardous occupations or in] positions where they are compelled; to do rough work. The argument' will be made that the real motive of those who advocate the substitution | of women in industry because of the; shortage of labor Is to keep down \ wages. A resolution advocating an inde-; pendent labor party such as exists inj England, will be negatived on the ground that it is a question for the j American Federation of Labor to settle. Wlilte AdilreNMCN Convention | John P. White, who resigned the j piesidency of the miners' union to] become labor adviser to Dr. H. A. | Garfield, Federal fuel administrator. ] addressed the convention with a plea | for ratification of the Washington agreement by which both bituminous and anthracite miners received wage advances. Mr. White explained the penalty clause in the soft coal .agree- | ment and denied reports circulated j among miners that the clause was inserted in the contract by Dr. Gar field. It was put in the agreement , by the miners and operators, he told | the men. Reviewing the wage increases ob tained by organized miners in the last two years, Mr. White said the coal diggers should rejoice that they have fared so well in view of all the things that are going on in the pres ent national crisis. Mr. White paid a tribute to Dr. Gar tieid, declaring that he had found him to be a tnan imbued with deep sym pathy for the cause of the miners. Giirfleld Sends Message Dr. Garfield, regretting his inabil ity to attend the convention, wired: "1 appreciate sincerely the loyal tegponse made by mine workers to appeals for co-operation with the Government in the present emer gency. The steady decrease in loss of tonnage since August i>y reason ot labor shortage is eloquent testimony hi this eo-operalio'n'. "I have ventured to state on many occasions that both mine workers and operatives have displayed a laudable purpose as American citizens, to put ntlde differences in the present emer gency and to unite during the period of the war in a common purpose to increase the production of coal. The successful prosecution of the war de pends as much on the men in the mines as on the nien in the trenches." Paxtang Board Makes Rapid Progress on Task of Classifying Registrants County d-aft board No. 2, known as tile Paxtang board, located in the Dauphin biulding. chairman, A. 11. Bailey, to-day completed sixty pel cent. of its classification. There were 2,495 registrants in this district which takes in a slice of Dauphin county, excluding Steelton and Middletown. The quota to be filled was 199. Of the registrants 1,426 were called for examination and of these 156 failed to report. Some of them had moved, seme died, others did not call fur their mail, but all are registered Jiy the. provost marshal as deserters. A feature of this board's work was fhe large number of foreigners, the Austriars, with 185, numbering high est. There were 179 Italians, eight from Great Britain, five Russians, two Servians, nine Mexicans, six Germans,] one each of Norway, Sweden and Cen tial America.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NONESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES MAY LOSE COAL SUPPLY Breweries, Glass Making Con cerns, Box Factories and Churches Are Included By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 16. —An order cutting off coal supplies to a num ber of the less essential industries was under preparation to-day by the Fuel Administration. It will limit supplies to the industries until the fuel famine in the east is relieved. The order also will classify a list for preferential shipment, including, in the following order: Household | requirements, public utilities and; bunker coal. It will provide for the i limitation of coal supplies to war; industries if necessary to meet the j emergency. Fuel Administration of-j f.eials believe that enforcement ofj the order wil! bring early relief. The action was decided on after a conference between Fuel Admin istrator Uarlield and P. 13. Noyes, head of the fuel administration's conservation division, who had just returned from New York, where he went over the situation there with j state administrators of the east. It was decide*} to leave open fori the present the suggestion of state! fuel administrators that Monday ofj every week will be declared a na tional holiday and that all industries be shut down on that day. May t'iose Industries In its final form the order, it was] said, probably will reduce to a great; extent industrial activity for a per-j iod of days. The order, as now con- . templated, will forbid outright thej use of coal, with a list of exceptions, ] The exceutions will include house-1 hold requirements, public utilities, ships' bunkers, food manufacturing plants and some war industries. I The nonessential industries may be closed down for a week or long-] er. Breweries, box factories, glass j manufacturing concerns and church- j fs, it is said, probably will be among the industries and institutions that j will get no coal. Supplies to war industries probably will be curtailed | shortly until relief for householders is in sight. The proposal for shut- ( ting down all industry on Monday of each week will be taken up as, scon as the order in preparation to- j day has been put into operation. Lecture Series Begun in Tech High School The lecture of Miss Mary Ruth j Fisher, State College Food Rconomy; Expert. at the Technical High J school, this afternoon, was well at tended. The lecture and demonstra-j tion. given at 2.30, to all women of the city who were interested, was j the first of a series of lectures to be given by the food expert in the' Technical High school to-day and, to-morrow. All interested are in- j vited. The lecture this afternoon dealt j with the subject of the "Value and Uses of Grains and Grain Products." | In her lecture Miss Fisher did not deal with the conservation of food, supplies, so much as with substitutes! for vr.rious expensive or scarce' ar-' tides of diet. Miss Fisher offers val-, liable suggestions for the saving of; foods, and for lowering the cost of! food supplies by tho use of substi tutes. Tier idea is to bring about a conservation of food, by means ofj giving the women who hear her lec-| lures a more thorough education on | (he uses of various food products, j Her lectures will be continued at I 7.30 to-night and to-morrow night,! and r,t 2.30 to-morrow afternoon. | TWO BAni.Y BURNED IN STEELTON ACCIDENT Marion Kelly, colored, -.ocustj Grove, Stcelton, and Frank Mata-1 sevic, 501 South Second street, Steel ton, are in Harrisburg Hospital suf-j ferlng with serious burns as the re-j suit of an accident in the gas works in the Stcelton mills.

O., — i as well as the capital of Pennsylvania. ; is having its problems in the increase in telephone traffic, according to re ' ports of the Bell Telephone Company. On the first of this year, Washing ton had a telephone plant equipped to not only care for the needs of a city ! of 350,000 people, but to provide for taking care of the telephone traffic for a year in advance as well as the | ; ;:0 per cent, increase during the in auguration period. It takes many months to obtain and install addi- j iiional equipment to switchboards and about twelve months to provide ex i pert operators. Suddenly, almost over I night, a condition arose that in nor | ma I times would require several years I tn cope with and the telephone com- i ; pany faced a task such as is seldom ' met. The telephone traffic increased !55 per cent., and to-day it is 70 per cent, above normal, while the long | distance increase is 219 per cent, above normal. I Responding to the call of the Bell | Telephone Company, the switchboard I manufacturers turned over their com | plete output to Washington. Business I increased faster than the switch (boards arrived, but, with men work- I ing day and night and the operators working earnestly and enthusiastic lully to keep business moving, the ser ! vice rendered was most excellent. A ■ great increase In the operating force jw as necessary, of course, and live separate schools for. operators with teachers and equipment were estab lished in Washington, in addition to | supplying all branches of the Govern :mi nt, as well as many commercial | houses, with expert operators. Army | camps near the capital were furnlsh i ed more than eighty expert operators land the Federal Government stations j increased 75 tier cent. This required lan addition of fifty switchboards for Government use.

TROLLEY SERVICE HELD BACK BY BIGSNOWDRIFTS Linglestown, Rockville, Car lisle and Marysville Still Cut Off by Storm Three sweepers, one ploto, and all laborers that could be secured, were being used by the Harrisburg Railways Company to-day In an ef fort to get transportation In the city and to surrounding points back to normal. The Capital street line has not been opened, it was announced this morning. Rockville has not been reached, Linglestown remains with out any trolley car service as yet, and no estimate could be formed as to when they will be opened. Street car company oitlcials said that the service in the city this morning has been fairly good. They lmve the usual amount of cars in service, with the exception of those that run on the Capital street line, which means that they are trying to keep to regular schedule. In spite 01 this, there has been much delay in reaching business portions of the city from uptown, owing to the fact than on many of the lines, cars are tunning in pairs, or at times even in "bunches." The Capitol Hill pat rons are taken care of by the Fourth and Sixth street, and the Third street lines, Felix M. Davis, superin tendent, said this morning. Stcclton Service Fair Care are running to Steelton as well as can be expected, it was an nounced. On this line the cars have a habit of pairing, Mr. Davis said, and there has been a great deal of waiting reported. Middletown has had communication with the city since yesterday, and cars are run to the end of the line without trouble. Ilummelstown was reached last night, it is reported, and is receiving service to-day. The Riverside line was opened up at 8 o'clock this morning, and it was announced that cars are trying to keep to schedule on that line. At 5 o'clock this morn ing service was begun on the Ober lin line, whicli had not been cleared all day yesterday. On the line to Linglestown the ftreet car company's force of men and sweeper are battling with drifts that at places reach a depth of eight or ten feet. The company is handi capped with a shortage of men, but are working at the drifts on this and the Rockville line in an effort to open them during the day. The clearing squads have cleared the tracks on the Linglestown line as far as Charleston, and cars are running to that point. A sweeper and crew with shovels are working 011 the Rockville line, where some heavy drifts were encountered dur ing the night That line has not been opened since the storm, and the cars can run only as far as Bo gar's lumber yard. The snow plow is working on the Capitol street line and it is hoped it will be opened to night. Teams at Fault It was announced by officials of the company that the greatest trou ble in the city causing the numerous temporary tieups is occasioned by the many teams and trucks that block the tracks and can not move oft to the side because of the great heaps of snow. In many cases this is the cause of pairing of cars in J the city. The Third street line is affected most by this prevalent cause of delay. The powsr of the Harrisburg Railways Company has been fairly good since the storm, they report. Through the arrival of twelve cars of soft coal to use with the river coal, the company now has a supply for two weeks. Other coal is on the way, Mr. Davis reported. Announcement was made at the office of the Valley Railways Com pany in Lemoyne that regular sched ules had been resumed 011 all the lines except Marysville and Carlisle. The Carlisle line was opened as far as Trindle Springs late last night, while it was impossible to get through on the Marysville line us far as Overview until shortly before noon. Large forces of men were detailed to open the tracks on these two lines and officials hope to have cars running to Marysville and Car lisle by to-night. Lack of Responsibility in War Program, Says U.S. Chamber of Commerce By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 16. ■ — Recom mendations of reorganization of the War Supply machinery, as approved by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States were presented to the Senate War Inquiry Committee to day by Waddill Catchings, president of the Sloss-Sheffield Iron and Steel Company. "All businessmen, I think," said Mrr. Catchings, "believe there is lack of central control and responsibility in our war program. The effect if. very harmful and the program is not balanced. Shipping is the principti' part of the program and yet it hap not been given the right of way. Clearly we are not producing ships and will not for many months. Thcrt is absolutely no one engaged in pre paring a broad war program. "We have very great, fear for in dustry. Reduction of the output of so-*alled non-essentials is proposed and we fear the production o.' es sentials will be far beyond possibility of transportation to the other side. We fear we will bo facing a Very disastrous and serious situation. We ought to have some central respon sible authority to prepare nr.'l push a broad industrial program for the war. What bothers us Is that we have slipped into, dropped into, drifted into otir present condition. We are at sea without a chart." The war industries b->ard, no said, cannot successfully act as the su preme authority as proposed by Sec retary Baker in his reorganization plan because it has neither legal nor paramount authority.

ITALIANS TAKE MANY PRISONERS IN BRENTA DRIVE Action Was Directed Chiefly Against Monte Asolone i Observation Posts / By Associated Press Northern Italy, Tuesday, Jan. 15. The action east of tile Brenta river yesterday in which the Italians in flicted heavy losses on the enemy and captured several hundred pris oners and a large quantity of war material, began late In the after- ' noon and was carried out by in fantry. It was directed chiefly against Monte Asolone, where the enemy boldly has set up observation posts overlooking tho San Dorcnzo valley and the Venetian plain lead ing down to Bassano. From these heights the enemy, backed by his position on. Monte Pertica and Caprivule, was a con tinual menace, his guns having a range of a considerable distance down the valley and over the plain, the plain. Fog Screened Movements The cannonade began toward noon with the Italian batteries be ing seconded ably by French ar tillery on their height. A heavy fog screened the movements as the in fantry was ordered to advance. It moved straight up the slope of Monte Asolone, through snow, mud and slush. The enemy artillery tire grew more intense as the advance proceeded. There was no halt until the po sitions on Monte Asolone were reached and the enemy advanced posts, where observations had been conducted, were swept away. Along the whole line the Italians gained a foothold. Under the concentrated fire of the enemy lines they later were withdrawn slightly after laying waste the enemy works. Austrian forces attempted a number of coun ter movements without success. The around Monte Asolone con tinues but one of the main objects already has been accomplished, that of dislodging the enemy from his works, to say nothing of the pris oners and material taken. About the same time an incursion into the enemy trenches was made further east around Monte Solarolo, where more prisoners and material were captured. The third bloody fight occurred on the Dower Piave where the Ital ians enlarged their position between the Piave and Sile rivers, aijd beat back a counterattack with heavy losses.

"I have no sympathy for you, but I do have sympathy for your Wife and five children, and for your aged father whom I know very well. In my opinion, your unfaithfulness tJ your family and to your father, is greater than the crime against your government. Your disloyalty to your church, in the choir of which you sang for a number of years, is seri ous." These were the words which Judge Charles B. Witmer used in the United States District Court this morning, centencing Otto C. Beyers, a Sunbury letter carrier to a year in the Dauphin county jail, on the charge of stealing letters.
