ol their three-day conference here

saiu, would go to the capitol with
the intention of making direct in
quiry of senators why no action in
the bill has been taken by the sen
ate. v .
While discussion at the opening
session of the conference developed
practically unanimous . approval of
the Sweet bill, many of the state rep
resentatives plainly were desirous of
proceeding cautiously in anv matter
pertaining to legislation, frequent
warnings were given by speakers
that th organization should work
guardedly lest the legion become
embroiled in partisan politics.
Several delegates expressed fear
that the proposed visit to congress
might be construed as having parti
san political significance, but Frank
lin D'Olicr, national commander, ex
plained that the chref purpose of the
visit was "to explain to members of
congress the needs in legislation for
the disabled soldier and necessary
changes in the war risk law as we
view them." '

Washington, Dec. IS. Restric

board today, as the railroad admin
istration, now in charge of the dis
tribution of supplies, received re
ports indicating that 80 per cent of
the striking miners had returned to
work. Orders were issued by Di
rector General nines allowing bunk
er coal to be supplied to Foreign

coastwise and American - owned
ships. Foreign vessels had their coal
supply shut off early in the coal
crisis. . .
Investigation Halted.
Senatorial investigation of the
strike settlement proposal offered by
the government and accepted by
the miners was temporarily halted,
while Chairman Frelinghuysen and
members of the investigating sub
committee, considered the policy to
be adopted. It was said after a long
executive session that the commit
tee had not decided as to whether it
would formally demand documents
in the possession of Dr. H. A. Gar
field, former fuel administrator, who
resigned because of his disagree
ment with the settlement proposals,
or as to whether Attorney General
Palmer and other officials would be
called.
The committee, however, decided
to resume hearings and summoned
R. B. Norris. one of the engineers
of the fuel administration, to furnish
the statistics on which Dr. Garfield
based his suareestion that a 14 per
cent increase in wages be given the
miners and paid out of the operators'
profits without , raising prices of

Meteerologlet.
New York, Dec. IS. Testimony
that he had disobeyed an order from
Capt. Karl W- Detzer to swallow a
lighted cigaret was given by Private
Marcello Gonzales of San Antonio,
Tex., at the court-martial on Gov
ernor's Island, of Captain Detzer,
charged with brutality to prisoners
in criminal investigation headquarters-at
Le Mans.
The charge that Gonzales had been
compelled to eat the cigaret was
one of the most sensational of the
28 specifications facing the officer.
A previous witness had testified to
hearing Jhe order given, but said he
did not see what became of the
cigaret, as he had left the room.
Gonzales stated that despite the
order, he had flung the "butt" to
the floor of the guard house.
Gonzales, who re-enlisted in the
quartermaster corps after the war,
and who now is stationed at Camp
Dix, served overseas with the Tenth
machine gun battalion and fought at
Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and Ver
dun, He testified that he had been
"picked up" by Captain Detzer's
men in Le Mans, and that although
his pass showed lie was only IS
minutes late, he had been detained
for approximately three months. It
developed in cross-examination,
however, that this detention was due
to the prisoner's physical condition.
Before adiournment a new group
of witnesses for both sides arrived
at Governor's Island from the south,
chiefly from Texas.

The sudden action of the fuel
tommittee in lifting restrictions Sat
urday was a subject of much dis
cussion in Chamber of Commerce
circles yesterday.
W. A. Ellis, assistant commis
sioner of the chamber, was some
what dubious about the result, call
ing attention to the committee's own
statement to the effect that the sup
ply of coal in Omaha and Nebraska
was lower than ever before.
1 Big business men generally com
mended the action of the commit
tee, however, pointing out th fact
that greater Omaha and Council
Bluffs were a seperate zone from the
rest of the state, and was justified
in removing restrictions. -r
Omaha is back to normal. It is
again, the busy, bustling, optimistic
city, of two weeks ago, when fuel
conservation bans were . imposed
There is lost time- to be made up,
and industrial Omaha will lose lit
tle time in making it up, according
to heads of the largest industries of
the city.
To add to the general good feel
ing, H. L. Snyder, acting chairman
of the adjourned terminal fuel com
mittee, yesterday stated that there
was sufficient coal in Omaha and
enough more coal on the way here,
to supply all demands arid create
a surplus.
His statement came in answer tfJ warnings were given
tne criticism of H. G. Taylor, state
fuel administrator, who condemned
the action of the local fuel commit
tee for raising the ban on fuel, con
sumption in greater Omaha and
Council Bluffs.
Came Just in Time.
Mr. Snyder also revealed the fact
that if the ban had not been lifted
Saturday scores of industries, em
ploying thousands of people, would
have shut down yesterday
Carload lots of coal were de
livered to the first five classes of in
dustries on the fuel administration's
priority list in Omaha yesterday,
without applications.
Coal Supply Assured.
Industries not included in the first
five classes in the list must make
application. Assurance is given,
however, that few, if any applica
tions will be refused. Asked for the
exact amount of coal in Omaha
terminals, Mr. Snyder insisted that
the amount was "immaterial," as
long as supply was assured for the
city. Coal is arriving from both the
east and the west, he said.
W. M. Jeffers, chairman of the
fuel committee, returned Sunday
from Wyoming, where he has been
for the past 10 days, with the assur
ance that mines on the union pa
cific in Wyoming and Colorado were
producing almost a normal amount,
The production should increase to
normal t,oday, he said. The normal
production in the Rock Springs dis
trict alone is 350 cars.
Mr. Teffers read with interest the
attack on the policy of the local
fuel committee by State Fuel Ad
ministrator laylor. He might be
right," he smiled, "but I believe
knew what I was doing when I au
thonzed the raising ot tne Dans in
Omaha.
Held Up By Weather.
"The mines were somewhat slow
in crettincr back to normal in Wyo
ming because of weather conditions
fetorms also, made it dimcult to trans
port coal with freedom These con
ditiohs are beirtsr remedied now."
fMr;. Jeffers also took exception to
a statement by Governor McKelvie
that .no coal was , being moved
from mines in Wyoming because of
a failure on the part of the rail
roads to move cars.
Reports on weather received by
the Union Pacific and Burlington
officials yesterday stated that clear
weather predominated throughout
Nebraska and Wyoming, and tnat
temperatures were moderating.
Care Service Normal.
R. A. Leussler, general manager
of the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway Co., announced today
that street car service was back to
normal.
During the curtailed period a loss
of approximately $30,000 in revenue
was suffered by the company, Mr
Leussler estimated, service was
curtailed for about 14 days. Many
men were also lost by the company
during this period, Mr. Leussler
said, and, although cars are back
on original schedules, there is
shortage of men.
The industry which was apparent
lv the hardest hit by fuel restric
tions was the film distributing busi
ness, which has become the fifth in
dustry, of the city. '
Film Men Suffered.
Sidney Meyer, manager of the
Fox Film corporation, estimated
that film distributers in this city lost
70 per cent of their business during
the two weeks ot restrictions .
Business will return to normal in
a day or so, Mr. Meyer said.
Banks were much inconvenienced
by short hours, but clearings were
not greatly affected, according to
John W. Gamble of the First Na
tional bank.
The Nebraska Power company,
which was seriously affected by the
ban on display and other lighting,
was unable to give estimates regard
ing the loss in revenue.
"We are glad to be back where
we started from," declared J. E. Da
vidson, vice president
C. of C. Men Debate.
