A bedroom for his private secretary
was prepared adjoining the Pope's
new apartment, and the papal bust
ness was conducted from there.
Throughout the development Of the
various affections, the Pope has been
suffering from a gradual hardening OF
the arteries, arterial schlerosis. His
heart had been weakening and at
times the physicians found 1t hard to
keep the circulation of the blood prop
erly stimulated. The physicians have
been in mementary fear Of the crisis
Of the schlerosis, which would result
in a rush of blood TO the brain and
cause immediate death.
At times throughout his illness, by
almost superhuman will power, the
Pope would rise from his sick-bed. at

public chapel, or stroll or sit in the
Vatican gardens. But after each of
these will-power recoveries he would
be forced back to his room by a re-

END OF STRIKE
NOT FAR AWAY
National Officers Arrive at
Conference Now In
Progress

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE arrival
of several national officers of the
United Mineworkers today strength
ened the impression that a settlement
of the differences that have discon-
tinued opera tons in the anthracite
fields since April 1. is near.
One Of the miners representatives
said this afternoon that even should
the subcommittee reach a finding
today. several more days and more
conferences probably would be nee
essary to clear up details.
The committee Of ten from each
side conferred with their respective
sub committees just before the SUBJ
committee of eight went into execu-
tive session.
Philadelphia, April 11-With both
the hard coal miners and their en-
ployers iE a conciliatory mood, the
subcommittee Of operators and Unit
this afternoon determined if possible
to avert a strike. Definite results
were expected today. Twenty-four
hours of consideration of opera tors
suggestions for 'reconsidering the 1917
strike commission today left the
miners more determined tnan ever
not to submit their demands to arbi-
tration.
why can't we and the operator
settle this trouble?" asked President
White of the United Mineworkers to-
day. 'Why should we have to wait
for commission to take lot of evil
dence and make "a long investigation
of the conditions which we miners and
operators know so we'll. Besides, a
third party's finding is never Salts
factory to either side.''
The sub committee today went over
the same ground covered in former
conferences. White was spokesman
for the miners. He insisted on recog-
milton OF the United Mineworkers.
Recognition Of the union is a BIT
ter pill for the operators to swallow.
Their representatives on the sub-com-
mittee today were said to favor COM

POPE HAS BEEN IN
FAILING HEALTH.

The Pope has been rapidly failing
since last summer with an attack of
throat and heart trouble, aggravated
by the govt, which had afflicted him
for years, causing him to suspend all
papal audiences. His physicians
warned him that the strain of the
papal duties was too much for his
strength, but he insisted on holding
audiences within a short time. One
of his sisters was called to the vati-
can tc nurse him, and after several
weeks of severe illness that kept him
in bed he insisted upon leaving his
room to celebrate mass in his private
chapel.
The Pope's condition gradually be-
came more and more serious and the
physicians, DR.. Potacci, the Vatican
physician, and DR.. Marchfafava, or
dered him removed from his room to
a larger. more airy apartment. The
pontiff was SO feeble that It was
found necessary to lift him from his
bed, on the mattress, place the mat
tress on a stretcher and carry him
in an electric elevator for the trans
fer to another apartment.
