Washington, Nov. 23.-Heads OF the

The president was prepared TO take
NJ the problem with a free hand, so
Ter as the railroads are concerned.
He had been formally notified that the

fit to take.
After a two hours conference 1t was
stated that the situation appeared IA
vorable.

Later The brotherhood's representa-

but withheld further details.
An entirely new proposal which 1t
is understood the broth erhoods> pan
to make is that rail transpor' at on
during the war, with respect to rela-
tions of the carriers and employees, be
dealt with by formation Of new fed
e-al commission to have complete
jurisdiction and power over companies
aud workmen. They plan, 1t is said,
to ask the president to appoint such
a commission, with plenary powers,
headed by some prominent official
thoroughly conversant with the trans

Teutons in Mass Attack,

Italian Army Headquarters, Nov. %.
The greatest mass attack which the
enemy has made is in progress along
the upper Piave river at the point
where it bends to the northeast into
the Belluno Alps.
AS the action proceeds the enemy
is bringing forward fresh masses Of
his reserves.
These reserves include picked troops
of the PTussian guard, besides some
of the best German troops drawn from
the western and Russian front. He
also has 10000 mountaineers from
lower Hungary, troops noted for their
brutal vandalism.
The action through the day has
shifted westward from Monte Tomba
and Monte Monfenera to the slopes of
Monte Pertica, where the enemy rush
es have been checked. The italian
positions remained substantially I'M
changed in the region of Monte Crap

A number of American Red Cross
ambulances passed through headquar-

and cars appeared in good condition.
Italian aviators who have flown over
the invaded districts of Venetia say
they saw lines of the civilian popula-
ton under guard, headed for Austria.
William Marconi has arrived at
headquarters and taken place on the
staff of General Diaz, the commander

PROPOSE Mine GAS AS
SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL
Plan to Be Submitted to Gov
ernor at Harrisburg G.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Nov. 23.-Billions
Of cubic feet of mine gas that escapes
every day into the air and is purpose
ly wasted to make mining less hazard
Gus, are to be corralled and utilized
for domestic and industrial purposes
as a substitute for coal, according to
a plan that Governor B-umbaugh will
various boards of trade in the seven
anthracite counties at a meeting to
be held in Harrisburg.
If plans are carried out as antici-
pated, millions of tons of coal will be
saved each year. Mining men who
have been asked for expert advice ad-
NIT that the gas has valuable proper
ties, and that, from all standpoints, it
has greater power than manufactured
gas and will cost but little.
The corraling of this escaping gas
is the problem to be worked out. 1t
IS the claim Of experts that this gas,
when mixed with nine and two-thirds
as much air, is at its most explosive
point, and that when mixed with thir-
teen times as much air, it produces a
flame.
It is the plan of the governor to
submit the question to the board of
trade presidents as the biggest con-
servation problem of the age, and to
raise a fund of $4,000 to be offered
as a prize for the most economical
and practical method devised for cor
railing the gas so that it may be used
for all purposes.
1t Is admitted that three things can
be accomplished by utilizing mine gas.
First, the coal supply can be conserv-
ed; second, mining can be made less
hazardous; third, fuel will become
much cheaper.
