To STOP WALkOUT
OF COAL DIGGERS
DUE NOVEMBER |
Federal Government viii Use
Its Power and Influence to
Avoid Parayzing One OF
Our Greatest Industries,
LABOR SECRETARY IS
HOPEFUL OF OUTCOME
Mr. Wilson viii Impress Upon
Both Factions the Impor =
tance of Uninterrupted 0p-
GRAFTON of Country'S Mines,

Washington, Oct. I4.-lmmediate
steps to avert the threatened nation
wide strike of bituminous coal mine
workers are to be taken by the federal
government. After President Wilson's $
cabinet had discussed the situation
at length, Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of labor announced that
he would invite John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers or
America, and John L. Brewster, rep-
resenting the operators. to confer with
him here, probably Thursday.
While efforts of the miners and op-
orators to reach an agreement on the
demands of the workers, which IN
clude increased pay and shorter hours,
have failed, Secretary Wilson is hope
full that some amicable adjustment Of
the controversy can be made. II Is un-
derstood that he will impress upon
both Mr. Lewis and Mr.. Brewster the
importance of uninterrupted operation
of the mines upon the life OF the ma
ton.
The possible effect Of such strike
on the railroads is understood to pc
uppermost in the minds OF government
officials. A shut down of the mines
would result in paralysis of the trans
portation system within a short time
with consequent suffering over the
country because of the shutting OH
of populous centers from food sup
plies Industry also would be bronent
to a standstill with public UTILITIES
stopped and shipping tied up.
President Lewis of the Tiners
union, who has been in this city con
ferring with other union officials
went TO Indianapolis today to prepare
the call for the strike on November
/. Officials hope the issdin@ OF the
call will be deferred until after the
conference here. should the confer
ence be barren of results, further ac-
ton by the government is expected but
no one in authority would venture TO
suggest what form that action would
take. While the cabinet today decid-
ed to leave the statement OF the
strike with the department Of labor Il
was regarded as more than likely mat
II the conference failed the entire cdo-
met would consider the next course
Besides the threatened strike Or coal
miners. the cabinet discussed the gem
eral Industrial situation today and II
was announced that Secretary Baker
would make statement on the sub
iect tomorrow before the Feieratioh
of Women's clubs at Cleveland.

y hope the time will not be far
distant when it will be considered
safe to permit him to resume work,
when his actions and his words viii
speak for themselves.
"As he gains in strength his case
is more difficult for me to handle, as
he is SO very anxious to get back to

"All the doctors / have called IN

New Orleans, La, Oct. 14.-Every
group of persons engaged in the cot
ton industry from the planter to the
weaver came in for blame today at
the world cotton conference here for
damage sustained by cotton in its
progress from the field to the loom.
The planter was blamed by some
of the speakers. the railroads are
held cuDable by others and spinners
and ginners were said by still others
to be responsible for the great loss
suffered by the industry each year be-
cause of damaged cotton.
Governor Beckett of North Carolina
seemed to sum up not the individual
opinion-for the various speakers diff
fered widely-but the general belief
of the conference when he declared
that Everybody is to blame for dam
aged cotton"
Members of the British delegation
to the conference entered into the dis
cussion to assert that the American
bales were blunders in wrapping and

heavy losses in shipping.
