WILSON NO WORSE,
SAY HIS PHYSICIANS
Permitted to Get Reports on
Pressing Matters.

wAsHrNGroN, Oct. 2l.-While the
President, II was said at the White
House, was no worse to-day. his condi-
ton did not show any decided change
for the better as might be inferred from
his increasing activity in governmental
affairs. The midday bulletin from the
White House summed up his condition
as follows:
The Presidents prostatic condition
remains as before. Chemical examina-
ton OF the blood shows the kidneys TO
be functioning normally. He did not
sleep 80 well last night but shows no
signs Of fatigue this morning
"GRAYsoN,

DR.. Graysor made reference to the
increasing activity OF the President in
the regular 10 O'Clock bulletin, In which
he said:
''The President felt stronger to-day.
He tried to do more than he has here
tofore done since his illness began. AS
consequence he is very tired tonight"
It was announced during the day at
the White House that improvement in
his condition during the last few days
had made It possible for him to receive
written reports from Secretary Tumulty
on pressing problems.
Rear Admiral Grayson. the Presidents
personal physician. also permitted the
President to read letter yesterday
from Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska, Ad-
ministration leader in the treaty fight
outlining prospects for ratification of
the treaty.
DR.. Grayson made II plain, however.
that he does not propose TO let the Incl
dent OF the message serve as precedent
for lowering the bars to all who may
have affairs of state to bring before the
patient. The gradual improvement In
the Presidents condition has been noted.
but 1t was again emphasized the daily
change is so slight as to be almost i'm
perceptible, and is to be measured at
first more by the absence of complica-
tions than by signs of returning strength.

strikers actually returned to work
yesterday afternoon or last night
Despite this action and the optimism
OF union officials, who informed the
steamship companies yesterday that
the strike was over, 1000 longshore-
men met at Tammany Hall in the af-
ternoon, voted not to return to work
and named a new strike committee to
continue their demands for 81 an hour,
81 for overtime and better condi-
tions." According to T. V. O'Connor,
president of the International Long

consent of the men TO leave their griev-
ances in his hands. At one time he
promised to take their case up with

All the locals he said. not returning

who we're responsible for starting the
strike. II any are found to be members

was indicated also that officers expect
many longshoremen to return to work
through necessity of meeting living ex-
penses.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.--Failure of op-
orators and miners to settle their diff
ferences after a four hour conference
to-day with Secretary Of Labor Will
son may force the Government to step
in and prevent the strike of half a
million bituminous coal miners called
for November l.
Although another effort will be
made tomorrow to bring peace to the
industry, the strike tonight loomed
big and close at hand, and leaders of
the two sides. speaking frankly and
gravely, said there was little hope.
Filing out of the meeting place, the
miners and operators, nearly 100 of
them, went their separate ways to dis
cuss the crisis. the former led by John
L. Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and the latter by
Thomas T. Brewster, head OF the Coal
Operators Association. Leaders and
members of both groups were ex-
tremely reticent. Both Brewster and
Lewis refused to discuss the situation
beyond saying there had been no
change in the attitude of either group
Secretary Wilson left the meeting
without giving the least intimation as
to what was in his mind as to hope of
settlement.
The two committees, in separate
groups, filed into the assembly hall of
the Red Cross Building and sat down
shortly before noon, while Secretary
Wilson went to the front and without
ceremony announced that they had been
asked TO meet and adjust their griev-
ances. Pleading for immediate settle
ment, the Secretary showed how the
strike would affect the public; how It
would close industrial plants and stop
freight and passenger traffic because OF
the limited coal stocks held by the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Lewis then spoke for the miners.
The old wage agreements. he declared,
had expired. and the operators, he
charged. had refused to consider a new
one.
The side of the operators was pre-
sented by p. II. Penna of Terre Haute,
Ind. who charged the miners had vio-
lated their agreement, that the operators
had adhered to the principles and prac-
tees Of collective bargaining, and that
the unions were at fault. Then without
consulting the leaders Secretary Wilson
suggested an adjournment until to-
morrow as casually as If the conference
had planned to run for a week.

A riot in which revolver shots were
fired and three husky bodyguards of
T. V. O'Connor, president of the Long
shoremen's Union, were beaten, took
place last night in St. Mary's Hall of
the Church OF Our Lady OF Grace, Ho-
boken. The question of returning to
work was being heatedly discussed and
O'Connor was being condemned by MEM
bers of the union when he entered the
vice-president, and William F. Demp-
sey, organizer for the district of New
York Six men were guarding the Off
cials. but three remained outside. AS
soon as O'Connor was recognized there
was wild disorder.
Tho O'Connor party had reached the
stage when, amid a chorus of catcalls
and epithets, a longshoreman started
forward. One guard knocked the man
down, Then, placing his back to the
wall, the guard drew a revolver and
commenced nring through the floor. A
concerted rush by the union men sent
the three guards down and they were
severely beaten. Joseph Ryan, said by
the police to have fired the shots. was
rescued by Police Captain Sullivan and
Patrolman Wihe.
The police succeeded in getting Dennis
Hogan and William Henry, the two
other guards, from the mob, The guards
were locked up charged with atrocious
assault and battery and carrying con-
cealed weapons. O'Connor was followed
by a threatening crowd when he too
went TO police headquarters. where ho
waited the arrival OF heavy guard be-
fore attempting to return to New York.
Although the meeting broke up in
disorder before a vote was taken, the
general expression OF opinion was that
the -Hoboken longshoremen would not
return to work to-day.
Tine strike was officially declared Off by
unanimous vote of the strike committee
at meeting yesterday morning in
union headquarters, 164 Seventh ave-
nue.. which was attended by representa-
tives of most of the fifty-three locals
II was said later that the action is in
effect an expression OF disapproval OF
Secretary of Labor Wilson's appoint
ment of Paul A. Vaccarelli on the COM
mittee of conciliation.
When II began to look as II the COM
mittee might influence the strikers to re-
turn, union leaders say, the men them
selves decided TO return rather than per-
nit Vaccarelli to interfere in their az
fairs. More than 1000 strikers. II is
said, who remained outside the meeting
approved of the committees decision.
T. v. O'Connor told the men that Vac
carelli was putting strike breakers to

Suggestion by Knox.

The menace to national health and the
Industries OF America through the i'm
minence of a strike by the bituminous
coal miners furnished a considerable
portion OF the discussion in the Senate
to-day in the course of which Senator
Knox (Pa.) offered the suggestion Con-
81 ess might find way entirely within
the provisions of the Federal Constitu-
tion to enact a law forbdding strikes
affecting production of articles regarded
as necessaries in interstate commerce.
Senator KnoX's suggestion, given TO
the Senate for what 1t was worth and
largely as a tentative proposal, had been
precipitated by suggestion OF Senator
Pomerene (Ohio) that In view of the
fact that the war powers OF the Presi-
dent over production being still alive

Texas Ideas May Help Adjust
Race Relations in Chicago.
(By Associated Negro Press)

Wy <AooOSAoSO0 ANODAV GAOooIs
Chicago, siay 29s Tho effort to ar
rive at closer working relations be-
tween the races in Chicago, In order
that there may be definite pro-
gram carried, is meeting with tre-
mendous success. The work is ad-
vancing SO far, that the South is be-
ginning to take notice, and has
reached point of offering suggest
ions, which, one of the Southern pa
pers states, 'the North has never
been slow in offering to the South" !"
Among the suggestions offered by
the Beaumont, (Texas) Enterprise, is
the following, which, Of course is
not popular in Chicago. but has an
element Of truth, in 1t towards the
close that is sufficient to make the
skeptical sit up and take notice.
"It may be suggested" says the
Enterprise, ito begin with that better
results will be achieved In the edu-
cation of the Negro by the establish
ment for him of separate schools,
presided over by Negroes. This
would be an innovation in Illinois,
but one that we think that the bet
ter advised men of the Negro Race
would approve, since 1t would per-
mia the Negro boy or girl to develop
his or her mental resources slowly
and IN keeping with the instincts
Of Tire race, and free from the in,
evitable distinction of the class room,
where the student to grow up in a
proper and not false enyironm ont,
free from hopes of social equality
of which he is now disillusioned only
after he leaves the northern grade
school.
"This, with the provisition OF em-
ployment for the Negro, and the
abandonment of the present policy
of using him as a political football,
will go far toward aiding the north
In finding a solution Of whatever
problem may arise out Of the ra-
cial question. Giving the Negro edu-
cation and economic opportunity will
enable him largely to solve his own
problems, with less of interposition OF
maudlin sentimental theories from
his white neighbors."

Splendid Opportunities in Navy
A Joke.
fRx the Associated Negro Press,

(By the Associated Negro Press).
Augusta, Ca, May 29.--In these
times of world wide democracy"
1t is well to note that "splendid'
inducements are held out to our
people 20 Join the navy. It is an
nounced Officially" that there is op-
portunity for promotion. And so,
here in Augusta, they are endeavor-
ing to get our young men to enlist.
One story says: "The Navy is very
desirous OF obtaining young Colored
men as mess, attendants. The oppor-
tunity for advancement now is great
er than ever before. The war has
proved the quality of service a Col
ored man is capable of render
ing, and he needs no apprehension
that he will not make good in the
service, nor that he will not be rap
idly advanced. If they enlist now,
they have a very good chance to
become Steward to the Commander
In Chief Of the Navy.
1t is well known that the Com
mander in Chief of the Navy, as
we'll as the Army, is the President
of the United States. So, then, our
valiant, intelligent. heroic young men
have the wonderful encouragement
of knowing that they have a rare
chance to work up in the Navy and
to become Steward t. the President.
OF course, a few lieutenants and cap
tains, admirals, rear and forward,
and the like, would not be any in
ducement in comparison with the
foregoing.
