Summarized, the demands of the Miners are as follows: , First: That the present wage 8greement between the operators and the. miners, which it was generally derstood would not expire until Aas 1, 1920, shall be considered as null and void after November 1, 1919. Second: That hereafter the miners shall work only five days a week and only six hours a day. Third: Wages shall be increased 60 per cent. Pourth: For overtime there shall be a 50 per cent additional overtime compensation, and for all work on Sunday and holidays the extra pay shall amount to 100 per cent.

The par- ticular item under discussion was the salary roll of the commission man: ¢- ing the government hotels in Wa:h- | ington, right under the very nose of congress in blocks adjoining the capi- tol building. It was shown that Miss James, manager of the commission. receives a salary of $6,404. The commissioner of the general land | office, the assistant secretary of the } treasury, and many high-class offici- | als here, receive but $5,000. he asistant manager of these govern- ment hotels receives $5,904, and in all the payroll for this particular! commission totals $108,864 a year. These high salaries due to the fect that they are not established by con-j| gress, but by the individuals com- prising the commission itself, A popular pastime, beth during andj} since the war, is to meet and raise the salaries of all administrative officers. When the war came, calling thou- sands of extra clerks to Washington, congress authorized the construction of these hotels. for the housing of} these. employees. It appropriated a ‘ump sum for the work: leaving the matter of salaries to be determined by the commission. The hotcls have never paid—couldn’t pay with such! an overhead—and congress is now} trying to decide what to do with them and how to curb the excessive salary list.

GROAT (United Press Staff Correspondent) BERLIN. (By Mail.)—Although Germany will have none of the Amer- ican prohibition, her statistical bu- reaus show that reduced war-time al- coholic consumption has had a bene- ficial result on the nation. The German holds up his hands in horror at the idea that America has gone “dry.” He simply doesn’t com- prehend. Nothing to drink? No. not a thing. What are they think- ing of in America? he asks. On the other hand his own statis- tics have pfoved to the German that alcohol is a demon destroying as it goes. While statistics are not available for the entire war period, and there are no figures for recent days, it de- velops that in Prussia there were in 1914 insanity cases numbering 6,146 due to alcohol, while the fig- ures kept dropping to 1917 when the last accurate statistics were available In 1915 alcoholic insanity cases | numbered 3,406; in 1916, 2,469 cases. | and in 1917, 1,564 cases while deaths | from alcoholism amounted as follows: 1914—917; 1915—650; 1916—271;/ 1917—148. Suicide has been reported on the increase in Germany, but figures are Hacking to prove this theory. During | the war, the government kept no sta- tistics to show where sclf destruction stood. Since the revolution, however, it is reported that many middle-class people have been suicides. This is said to be due to despondency over Germany’s future; to the fact that some of these middle class people} have seen their small savings of years | eaten up in the all-consuming drop of the German “valuta;” and to a general indifference toward life, en- gendered by four years of war. Suicides in Germany during 1913 numbered about 15,000 while they dropped in 1914 by about 1,000. At the same time there appeared a small- er number of cases of insanity in the |German asylums. For 1913, there were 162,351 cases of Insanity in Prussia, while in 1914 there we-2 149,699 cases; and this number drop- ped in 1915 to 138,792.
