R. R. DISPUTES SOON SETTLED Federal Board of Mediation Makes Report to the President fBV SPECIAL LEASED WIREl WASHINGTON, Deo. 10. Interruption of interstate railway service by labor disputes has been almost negligible since the Federal Board of Mediation and Conclliat'on was organized, four years ago, says a report of the board presented tonight to the President.

"The law does not require the board to make annually or otherwise an official report," the statement says, "but In view of the extreme gravity of the railroad situation, and because the relations between the railroads ana their employes are a prime factor of that situation, it Is thought proper to acquaint ypu with the results accomplished." In four and a half years, the report continues, there have been a total of 84 disputes, which threatened all classes of employes on every railroad in the United States and connecting Canadian lines, but In less than half a dozen instances has there been cessation of train movement. In these cases, the disputes broke out suddenly, before the board knew they were impending, and in each case a settlement was effected quickly.

Mail and freight carrying, the locating of vessels in distress at sea, the destroying of derelicts menacing navigation, and the mapping of the United States are some of the duties to which the government proposes to put airplanes after the war. Dr.

W. F. Durand, chairman of the National Advisory Committee tor Aeronautics, in a statement tonight on the origin, scope and plans of the civil aerial transport committee, said, the future of aviation Is of vital im portance because upon it depends "the possibility of salvaging the present investment in aviation expressed In terms of human energy, skilled workmen, trained aviators, time and capital." "Peace will find this country with an Immense air capital on hand, and comprising skilled workmen, factories, machinery and industrial organization in effective operation," said Dr. Durand. "This capital must be so conserved and directed that, if possible, not a man or a dollar will be wasted in the hiatus between war and peace." RADICAL CHANGE IN FUEL SHIPMENT Pooling Arrangement That May Put an End to Coal Crisis TBY SPECIAL LEASED WIREl CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec.

10. What is by far the most fuel relief measure yet approved by the Federal and Ohio Fuel Administra tion has been definitely outlined by State Fuel Administrator Johnson in what Is technically termed "a pooling arrangement," which practically entails a complete union of all coal shippers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan with a radical disregard of all ironclad rules which heretofore have governed the shipping of coal by the railroads. The plan has the approval of Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield. The measure, it is predicted, will bring an end to the coal crisis in Cleveland and other Ohio cities and adjacent states. THE HOLY CITY (Continued from First Page.) Cheliabinsk, the junction point of the Trans Siberian Railway, In order to prevent food and other supplies reaching European Russia, and especially Petrograd, from Siberia and Pacific ports.

Although it has not definitely aligned itself with the revolutionary movement, the new republic of Siberia has issued an order that promises materially to aid the Kale dines forces. This order forbids the shipment of foodstuffs Into European Russia, the ground being taken that they may reach the Germans. The Armistice From the Baltic sea to the mouth of the Danube the armistice between the Russians and Rumanians and Austro Germans is still in operation. The agreement for the cessation of hostilities between the Rumanians and the Teutonic Allies covers the region running from the Dniester river to the mouth of the Danube, according to the Berlin war office. An unofficial despatch from Jassy, the Rumanian capital, says the amistice is to continue for three months and that the Teutons have agreed to all the proposals made by the Ru manians except that providing that troops shall not be removed to other fronts.

This proposal is still under discussion. That the Austro Germans are re lieving men from duty on the eastern front and throwing them into the lines in France and Italy daily becomes more apparent by reason of the almost continuous augmentation of their forces in these regions. The belief prevails that with the fighting ended on the Russian front, for the moment at least, the enemy is preparing for a great offensive on the western front. Italians Halt Drive The Italians have definitely stop ped the attempted drive of the Austro Germans toward the Italian plains and the Germans have failed thus far to follow up their success last week against General Byng's army on the uambrai sector in France. Both in Italy and where they have faced the British the Teutons have paid dearly for any gains they have made, and apparently now they are endeavoring to find some easier spot upon which to make a drive.

Possibly their search Is leading them toward the line held by the How You Can Make Hairs Quickly Disappear (Helps to Beauty) Even a stubborn growth of hair will quickly vanish from the face neck or arms after a single treat ment with delatone.
