Coal Shortage and Not Strike
Forced Shutdowns, Say
Representatives
Itu Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Pft., Dec. 15. —When in
formed of the action taken at Wash
ington by the twenty-four union pres
idents who voted to continue the na
tion-wide steel strike, representatives
of Pittsburgh district steel companies
declared that as far as they are con
cerned, the strike was a "dead issue."
In only isolated Instances, they said
the strike continues to affect produc
tion.
A representative of the Jones &
1-iughlin Steel Company, the largest
independent of the district, said that I
steel companies in this region were |
forced to "trim down" operations
during November, due to the coal |
strike situation. The companies', he'
said, accepted only a part of the or- '
ders received, fearing they could not (
fill them, due to the coal shortage and]
the resultant cut in operations. "But
now that the coal strike has ended,
steel companies of this district, will .
start on full working schedules im-|
mediately." he declared.
Coal Mining Normal
Coal mining in the Pittsburgh dis-1
trict was practically normal to-day]
and those of the 42.000 union miners
who did not go to work to-day, will
do so Tuesday, according to a state- 1
ment issued here by Philip Murray. '
president of District No. 5. Cnited
Mine Workers. Mr. Murray declared
he did not expect production to reacn ,
100 per eent. until Tuesday, the first ■
day to figure in pay for the last half]
of December. Seventy-live per cent, of ,
the district miners worked Saturday,
he said.
Fntted States railroad admlnlstra
tion representatives here said that in- I
creased coal shipments would be in
evidence for the llrst time to-day.
They added that they were doing all 1
in their power to prevent a ear!
shortage in this district, and said the,
administration was endeavoring to
'acilltate the return of cars sent west ■
luring the strike.

MONDAY EVENING,
I SIGHTLESS SEEK
LIGHT OF HICKSON
| [Continued from First Pago.]
rived late were quietly ushered to
I seats by rectors of the various Epls
i copal churches.
I Mr. Hickson stepped to the front
I of the church after this brief serv-
I ice. In part lie said: "Christian
' healing cannot be done .without
I faith. You are in God's house and
i are coming to your God, not to me.
j No human being can help you. and
! if you expect me to do it you will
Igo away disappointed. I haven t the
, power, l.ook to Hint, and to Hijn
I alone. He can give you heaith._
Commune with God, know that the
Lord is here and that His Holy An
gels are with us. Speak in your
hearts the name of Jesus. ou can
help or hinder this work by your
attitude. Pray that God will look
1 into your hearts und will find faith
.in it. Let no unworthy thought be
1 there. Those who are here for hcal
. ing, lorget yourself and pray lor
the other sick people.
Advised to Pray
"Don't think of yourself. 'Give
1 and it shall be given unto you.' Pray
' for one another, and remember, too.
that you are not coining to Christ
only to heal your bodies but for
' your souls.
"Forget all hatred, malice and
that awful devil. Selfishness.' That
caused the war which just ended
and It causes most of the other evils
of the earth.
"And when my hand touches you,
think only that the hand that was
pierced is touching you. Reach to
touch the hem of His garment.
Children Come First
The children who had been
brought to tlie healer had beerf taken
to the choir seats just in front of
the chancel. Many of them were in
their mothers' arms. Mr. Hickson
llrst stepped to a mother holding a
baby less than a year old. Quietly
he asked what the child was suffer
ing from, then placing his hand on
the infant's head he prayed just as
quietly. Silently he stepped from
one to another, followed by various
rectors, who also prayed. Some of
the parents, with tears in their e>es,
knelt at the chancel rail and before
the altar prayed with the healer and
the clergv. Among those who help
ed Mr. Hickson were the Rev.
Mr. Gamble, of Manheim: the
Rev. J. Fredrick Virgin; the Ven
erable William Dorwart. of New
port, archdeacon of the Harrisburg j
diocese, and the Rev. H. Bridgcman,
of Camp Hill. Dr. Maud C. Exley
helped some of the persons to the
chancel rail, and Dr. C. S. Rebuck
also brought a number of persons
forward.
During the entire service many
persons kept their heads bowed in
praver for half an hour at a time.
Relatives of afflicted ones, with
tears streaming from their eyes,
knelt while Mr. Hickson prayed.
Seek Sight and Hearing
As Mr. Hickson prayed for the
children, the sweet tones of "My I
Faith Rooks I'P to Thee." were
heard coming softly from the organ.
Mr. Hickson believes in the healing
power of faith and praise and dur
ing his entire sendee many of the
old familiar hymns were played.
Among those who came to him
was a lawyer who is losing his eye
sight another a school teacher who
is becoming deaf, a young man who
has been a cripple all his life was
wheeled into the church by a white
haired old man. a friend of the fam
ily.
Many With Withered legs
Among the children were a num
ber who had suffered from infunttle
paralysis and are using crutches.
Their legs, withered and weak, sup
ported by heavy steel braces, liuve
not been used for years. Others who
have been partially crippled eumo
forward on canes or were aided by
ministers. In the audience were a
number of pastors of other churches
in the city and vicinity. .Many of
them prayed during the greater
part of the service.
Few of the prayers by Mr. Iliek
son could he Ileard except by the
suffering person whom he hoped to
help. All were earnest prayers for
Divine healing. Bits of them heard
now and then were: "O Blessed
Jesus, we pray that Thou wilt touch
this troubled servant. Cleanse the
body with Thy touch, restore health
and make him strong and well. Lead
him from this weakness, give htm
strength."
Blind ASk to Sta
in. prayer for a blind person he
said: "O Father, touch these eyes
we pray. place this servant in
Thy hands and commit him to Thy
love and mercy. I.ord heal him."
At one point in the service Mr.
Hickson spoke aloud and reminded
the many persons in the church
that his prayer was only the be
ginning, and that the faith and
prayer for recovery must continue.
Each person was given a smalt card
011 which was printed a prayer for
the Christian Healing Mission.
Prayer Guide
On one side is printed a state
ment that all who are praying for
the mission should unite daily in
the prayer, at noon, if possible. The
prayer follows:
"O God our Heavenly Father, we
pray for Thy blessing upon the
Christian Healing Mission. Bless,
protect and guide those who Ivtve
gone forth in the name of Thy Son
our Saviour Jesus Christ. May all
that they do be directed and gov
erned ly Thee. May they be so filled
with the spirit of Christ that they
may be bearers of His Light to those
who sit in darkness, for the setting
at liberty of souls whom satan hath
bound, and for the healing of all
who are sick and suffering in mind
and hody. And we ask that they and
all who are linked with them in
nrayer at home may he ever united
in Thy Love, and protected from
everv snare of the enemy, so flint
by Thv Grace Thv purposes may be
fulfilled to the Glorv of Thy Holy-
Name: for Jesus' sake. Amen."
Church Is Crowded
Among the hymns which were
| clayed were: "Rock of Ages,"
j "Nearer My Rod to- Thee." "He
i r.eadeth .Me." 'Abide With Me."
' "Jesus. Rover of My Soul." and
: "Just As I Am." All were played
| quite softly at first by the orgar ist.
- then with a slight crescendo and
finally in a louder tone, but still
with the same soothing, mellow
effect.
The healing mission continued
throughout the afternoon because of
the large crowds. Persons were ad
mitted constantly through the ves
try room to the south of the chancel.
As the persons came or were
brought forward to the chancel rail
others were sent back to the seats.
After the prayers the suffering men
and women left the chancel and
went out through the rear entrance
to the church.
Simple Services
The simplicity of the healing serv
ice was in itself an impressive
thing. With the exception of the
slight noise made by persons coming
into the church, the only sounds
which were heard were the low
tones of Mr. Hickson and the rec
tors. now and then a sob, and the
music from the organ, seeming to
come front a great distance, but
sounding clearly and softly.
To-morrow morning Mr. Hickson
will be in the church again from
10 to 12.30 o'clock to meet all per
sons who are brought there and to
pray for them. It is believed that
many more afflicted persons will be
brought to the city from other parts
of the State, to be helped by him. j
I'aitli Is Necessary
Before an audience which filled
the St. Stephen's Church auditorium
to capacity last night. Mr. Hickson
explained how faith healing is ac
complished. Many afflicted persons
were there to hear him tell how they
can be cured by faith.
Faith is absolutely necessary, Mr.
Hickson said, if any person expects
to be healed. He said that Christ
did not heal those who did not be
lieve in Him. Mr. Hickson told his
large audience that healing through
the power of Christ is not new. and
that the day of miracles is not past.
He said that in Wiliiamsport last
week a crippled man was brought
in by two men. and left without the
assistance of any one.
Miracles Disclaimed
The healer does not claim to be
able to perform miracles and claims
no superhuman power. All that is
done is brought about by prayer. Mr.
Hickson also said that people are
living with too much thought about
the mental and physical life and not
enough about spiritual filings. He
explained that healing through
prayer is not strange or miraculous
but is merely accepting what God
has to give.
Following the congregational meet
ing in the church Harrisburg minis
ters met Mr. Hickson and talked of
healing through prayer. All pas
tors of the Harrisburg Ministerial
Association were invited to attend.

the Villistas carried off another
American named Phillips.
Eagle Pass, Texas, Dec. 15.—Steps
will be taken for the immediate re
lease of Fred G. Hugo, the American
held by Francisco Villa for SIO,OOO
ransom, according to J. M. Doble,
owner of the ranch In the Mexican
state of Couhuila, of which Hugo
was manager. Mr. Dobie, who arriv
ed hero from Sun Antonio. Texas, de
clined to say what action he con-
I templated.
Details of Hugo's capture by Vil
listas and his whereabouts still were
unknown here early to-day. A re
port said Francisco Pardo, a Spatn
ard was held with several Mexicans
lor ransom, has been leleased by
I Villa. He was the second man re
leased by the rebel chief, an Eng
lishman, R. B. Dawson, having been
I released Saturday.
I'ndfticial reports reaching the
[ border, indicated tliut the American
1 with several Mexican hostages prob
[ ably was being detained in Elpino
J mountains, about 100 iniies from
Muzquiz. Whether federal troops
had taken up the pursuit of the
Villistas couid not be learned.
.May Be HeUI in Mountains
Although previous reports said
Villa and several hundred followers
who occupied Muzquiz last Tuesday,
had been ousted from the town Fri
day and had fled in the direction of
the state of Chihuahua, apparently
reliable information indicated that
the rebels did not leave Muzquiz un
til Saturday. It was stated that
they headed in the direotion of El
pino mountains, leaving word that
the money for Hugo's release was
to be left at Pino Solo, in the Elpino
mountains.
Villa did not molest the poorer
persons in Muzquiz, confining his
looting to the wealthier residents
and the principal stores. He car-
Tied off a large supply of blankets,
several automobiles, horses and
wagons and great quantities of
food, it was said. Shortage of food
and clothing among his forces is be
lieved here to have been the prin
ciple cause of the raid on Muzquiz.

until the end of the war and the
termination of mobilization it per
mits an unrestricted sale for export,
and, within the I'nited Stutes, sales

The uncompensated restriction upon i
the disposition of liquors imposed by,j
this act is of a nature .far less se-!
\ ere than the restrictions on the j
use of property acquired before the j
enactment of the prohibitory, which |
were held to be permissible in eases

unnecessary to a decision.
Rut no reason appears why a

those engaged in the business to dis-I
pose of stocks on hand at the date,
of its enactment, should be obn'ox- i

reasonable time within which to dis-j

houses on November 21, 15 18. The j
aniour.'t then in storage was materl-!
