WAsttINGToN Oct. 2o--A report that
President Wilson is considering the clos
Ing OF the Colorado coal mines az the
only step by which order can he main
tanned without the presence there Of FED
orli troops caused much discussion in
Washington to-day.
The report was circulated following a
long conference between the President and
Attorney General Gregory at the White
House, at which 1t Is understood, the
President asked TO he Informed AS to his
legal authority for taking such n step.
The Attorney General was Informed this
afternoon of this report but he refused
10 comment on It In any way. In son'o
quarters his silence was regarded as tend
ing to confirm IL.
White House officials likewise made no
comment on the subject. 1t was learned
authoritatvely that preceding the con
ference AZ the White House the President
had made no written request upon the
Attornoy -General for an opinion on the
legal questions involved in the sussestsd
exercise of the Executive power.
The striking miners have accepted the
Presidents proposal for = settlement OF
the strike controversy, while the mine
owners have rejected it,
The President refuses to accept thc
re1cC',ou of the owners as their final
answer and he has said from timc to
time thlt ne uld not regard tllo matter
as closed In urging acceptance on the
owners the President has made signif-
cant reference to his resolution not TO
keep the Federal troops in the Colorado
strike fields indefinitely
Labor leaders have informed him that
sharp lighting certainly Will break out be
tween the miners and the state militia
q the Federal troops are withdrawn be
fore an agreement Is reached between
the parties to the controversy.
] Labor leaders have expressed the opin-
ion that the Presidents authority TO close
the mine WAS established by the deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court In the famous
4 Debs case. which grew out OF the CHI
cugo strike in Clcvcland's term. This de-
cision l. said to have established that tho
President may exercise the supreme pow
ers OF the Federal Government to pro
iect tho mails and Interstate CONNER e..
but just how it would apply in the Colo
RADIO situation has MOI been made clear.

The reason Boston does not want 10
enter the pool, it is said, Is that at just
this time the city is obliged TO finance
the Massachusetts mills in making their
purchases OF cotton for the season and in
that way is doing enough. in the opinion
of the bankers to support the plan.
Little Rocks decision not to enter the
cotton pool is said to have arisen from
n feeling that the North is being favored

The embassies OF the bellignrent ma

as the usual list of entertainments is con-
