America, has issued uh order for a
general strike in the bituminous coal
fields in Alabama. The order follow
ed a report made by the organization
committee of the international exeeu

The report declared the coal opera¬

ti ed of ihe strike order by telegraph.
. uniejous mines in the Alabama
fields have been idle because of the
alleged refusal of the operators tc
accept the findings of the coal com¬
mission.
President Lewis’ telegraph to Mr.
Kennamer, in part, follows:
‘ The organization committee of the
international executive board who re
cently visited Alabama and the exec

the fullest consideration to the unsat
isfactory conditions prevailing in the
mining industry in the state of Ala
bama. We realize that ever
the award of the president’s

the month of March that Alabama
mine workers have been struggling to
secure the improvements allotted by
the commission.

At the same time tens of thousands ol

gaged at home lighting disease, noin
biy during the influenza epidemics.
Tlie American T ed Cross lias de
termlned that all this valuable experl
ence In health service abroad and tv
f line shall not go to waste, So loir.
as there are a half a million peoph
dying yearly In this country from pro
rentable causes, iiiul so long as mon
than one-third of tlie American chi!

.he plight of the crew of the subma¬
rine S-6, submerged for more than
;hirty-five hours off the Delaware

vived here. The bell on the buoy
vas ringing and a sinal boat wae im
nediately lowered from the General
ioethals. The boat reached the
juoy, cut In on the telephone appara
us 011 it, and then from the depths
>f the seas came this message:
"The submarine S-5 has been sub
nerged for thirty-five hours. Air is
’tinning short. Machinery damaged.
Send for help.”
The General Goethals immedaitely
sent out radio messages telling of the
plight of the submarine und then stood
jy to render whatever aid was pos¬
sible, keeping in communication with
he submerged vessel by means of the !
elephone on the buoy.
An amateur wireless operator, sit- j

scene of the trouble, picked up the I
Messages from the air and made it
public.
