the situation directly before the President.
They took this action after n meeting at
the home of J. Brisbane Walker and after

In which Il was declared that the Gov
ernor's despatch yesterday IN answer to
the Presidents call down falsely states
that a plan for mediation was adopted BY
the Legislature.
The meetings message 10 the Presi-
dent says:
THE measure provides for investigation
only. There has been "A ten volume In
vestigation already. Twenty Independent
investigations. Reporters. lawyers, relief
workers declare civil war will follow send
ing State troops back on scale never
before known in labor dispute. Miners
by the thousands are pledged to die rather
than to submit to more government by
gunner"
This message was signed by Upton Sim
clair, but II was approved by all attending
the meeting.

his wife on the way to the White House
are Mrs. Lee Champion. chairman OF the
relief committee which spent twenty days
investigating conditions In the strike dis
trict Mrs. Adolph Germer. wife OF one
