Washington, June 22.-President
Wilson has given his support to Sena-

or other emergency, the federal trade

mines with an arrangement for fixing
compensation of the operators at d

President Wilson, according to SEN

with the objects of his resolution, be-
lieving the coal situation acute and
nriceS far too high.

the vague dreams which she hides so
closely from the world. In conse.

the musician with his music. He too
