STEPS TO BRING ABOUT CLOSE

Washington, Oct 1S-Unless Illinois
striking coal miners return to work at

proposed wage advance.
Furthermore, he will resort to
drastic measures to keep the mines
going. What steps would be taken
is not stated. The presumption is
that the mine labor would be com,
Wandered by the government and
troops employed to enforce the orders.
Mr.. Garfield made his intentions
plain in a sizzling telegram sent to-
day to miners and operators in GER
tain divisions in Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. where the miners have struck
because of his delay in approving the
wage advance agreement.
IF either the operators or the min
ers attempt to bring pressure upon
me to reach a decision" declared Mr.
Garfield in his telegram, 81 shall post
pone it and use whatever powers are
necessary to the production of coal
to meet the country's needs"
When pressed to amplify his threat
Mr. Garfield declined.
Has Plenty Of Power.
''If the need arises, shall act"
said Mr. Garfield. There are certain
things that the government can do
in times Of war which 1t could not
do in times OF peace
Mr.. Garfield made 1t known during
the day that huge piles containing
hundreds of tons Of btuminous coal
have been located in Ohio. This coal
IS being held by factories for future
use. The funel administration has OBJ
tanned photographs Of these coal piles
and is contemplating selling what
ever coal may be needed to meet
emergencies. The owners of the coal
will be compensated at the prices fix

In connection with the coal short.

that he would not be forced into taxi

West Virginia coal operators told
Mr., Garfield today that from 2S to 80

wilson BACKS PLAN
TO insure SOLDIERS
McAdoo Calls Conference of
Insurance Experts 10 De-
wise War Measure
WILL COVER
U. S. SAILORS TOO

WASHINGTON. june 2S.-President
Wilson has started movement which
ultimately may lead to an arrangement
Tor insunng the lives of officers and men
of the army and navy during the war.
Should the government embark ON
such a plan, even only as a partner, It
would be attempting something on the
humanitarian side of war never tried
before by any nation. such an arrange
ment might IN the end save the govern
ment money by reducing the huge outlay
Tor pensions.
One idea suggested is to place the
insurance In the hands OF the Federal
war risk insurance bureau. which is
now insuring men of the merchant
marine. Another plan to be consid-
cred Is a combination Of insurance
companies cooperating with or back
ed by the government.
Secretary McAdoo announced last
night he had called a conference Of
life insurance companies Of the coun-
try to 80 over the entire matter. The
conference will be held in the office
of the secretary July 2
II is understood several authorities
on insurance informally have given
their opin on on the feasibility Of in
surfing the lives of American lighters.
Suggestions will be invited at the con-
ference and the insurance companies
will bring tables prepared by theiI
actuar es showing the mortality rates
Of the different armies.
While no real plan has even shaped
itself as yet In the minds Of the Presi-
dent and Secretary McAdoo. it Is be-
lieved the basic idea involved is 10
have the Government by arrangement
With the insurance companies, offer
insurance at a very cheap rate to the
men IN the service, placing insurance
within reach Of the lowest private In
the ranks.
The war risk insurance bureau o
the Treasury Department" said tn
Secretary. is now insuring the live
OF masters officers and seamen Of TIT
merchant marine OF the United States
and the question has arisen as TO how
insurance en- the lives OF officers AM
enlisted men OF the army and nav.
can be effected most advantageous.
through an extension OF the power
of the powers OF the war risl
insurance bureau or through tn
combined agency or cooperation
Of the life insurance com
panies. II Is expected the discussion
at the forthcoming conference vii
prove OF great value.
