  We consider the generalized Milne problem in non-conservative plane-parallel
optically thick atmosphere consisting of two components - the free electrons
and small dust particles. Recall, that the traditional Milne problem describes
the propagation of radiation through the conservative (without absorption)
optically thick atmosphere when the source of thermal radiation located far
below the surface. In such case, the flux of propagating light is the same at
every distance in an atmosphere. In the generalized Milne problem, the flux
changes inside the atmosphere. The solutions of the both Milne problems give
the angular distribution and polarization degree of emerging radiation. The
considered problem depends on two dimensionless parameters W and (a+b), which
depend on three parameters: $\eta$ - the ratio of optical depth due to free
electrons to optical depth due to small dust grains; the absorption factor
$\varepsilon$ of dust grains and two coefficients - $\bar b_1$ and $\bar b_2$,
describing the averaged anisotropic dust grains. These coefficients obey the
relation $\bar b_1+3\bar b_2=1$. The goal of the paper is to study the
dependence of the radiation angular distribution and degree of polarization of
emerging light on these parameters. Here we consider only continuum radiation.
