This is 266,724 below the estimate of the cen- sus bureau, but since more than 200,- 000 unregistered 21 year olds already are enlisted in the army, navy or ma- rine, corps, the military authorities find the result satisfactory. Army and navy estimates place the number of 21 year old men enlisted at 208,588.

CONVENTION Miners Say Shortage ‘Probably Will Be More Keenly Feit Next Winter St. Paul, Minn., June 14—The coal| shortage probably will be more keen- Iy felt this winter last last, according to representatives of the United Mine Workers Union of America, who are attending the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor. Discussion of the coal situation arose late today after a resolution request- ing the federation to lend its efforts to obtain coal for the New England district had been adopted. The adoption of a resolution asking congress to derive funds for carrying on the war from taxation rather than from bond issues, was the outstanding feature of a session marked by the disposal of nearly twenty-five reso- lutions. Other, resolutions on which favor- able action was taken included measures asking that suitable hous- ing conditions be provided for work- ers in industrial centers, means for eliminating labor spies, alleged to be employed by some large. corporations and the establishment of a minimum wage scale for government employes. Resolutions calling upon the United States to consider and take immediate action on the woman suffrage bill al- So were unanimously adopted by the convention. In an attack on the national fuel administration, Joseph D. Carnon of New York, charged that although the suffering in New York was called to the attention of officials in Wash- ington last winter, no effort was made to provide coal Several officers of the Mine Work- ers Union, including = Secretary W, Green, placed the blame for last win- ter's coal shortage on the railroads.
