 RADIcALISM DEFERREn

Washington. Nov 17.-Legislaticn designated to strengthen the hands of the federal government in dealing Eita radicalism will be left to the next reg ular session of congress. It enactment Is expected to be one of the matters which President Wilson will touch ui- on in his message.
 The administrators proposals for legislation already have been outlined by Attorney General Palmer. They were supplemented by a bill intre- duced in the senate by Senator Poin- dexter, republican. Washington. and in the house by Representative Sum- mers of the same state. Senator Poin- dexter failed, however. to turn tie senate aside from consideration of the peace treaty while he discussed l. ". W. outbreaks in his state, where for- mer service men were shot down dur ing the Armistice day parade at Gen. traIia.
 The senator's measure forbids un- der heavy penalty either written CT spoken agitation for overthrow Of tEe government by violence and carries it's penalties even to the owners of build. ings or grounds where radical meet ings might be permitted to gather. Any person causing the death of an- other while violating the provisions ef the bill would upon conviction be pull ished by death. @a
 The measure was referred to the jr- dietary committee with no prospects that it or other pending legislation sct similar character would be taken ID before adjournment of the special session. The department of justice bill has not yet been introduced.

 SUGAR HUMILIATION BOARD

Washington, Nov. 17.-Unless con- gress continues the sugar equaliza- rion board during 1920 he price of Cuban sugar to American Consumers will increase to Is cents cd 20 cents l pound. Attorney General Palmer said in a letter to Senator McNary, republican,. Oregon, which the sena- tor made public today. Mr. Palmer expressed the hope that the bill of fcred by Senator McNary to continue the board in existence would be en- arted..
 Regarding the agreement between he attorney general and producers TJr prices of IT and IS cents for Louisiana Sugar MT. Palmer wrote:
 Tt was considered by this depart mcnt advisable to establish a mix mum price. Understand this is not a fixed price and competition has the
 same field as before. The same fac- lors that would reduce the price by the importation of Cuban sugars in competition with beet and Louisiana sugars, still exist, but these maximum prices as now esta blishel and agreed upon could be used as prima facie evidence in cases wehere price in excess of these prices is charged Replying to an inqury by Senator McNary as to what steps were being taken by he sugar board. to4 control prices President Zabriskie said dealers were requested to cenfine themselves to fair and reasonaber profits and | that the department of justice was | prosecuting those exacting "inordinate | profits

SOCIALISTS GAIN IN BELGIAN
 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

Brussels, Nov. IT. -(By the A. P.)- Although definite results of the par liamentary elections of Sunday will probably not be known before We'd nesday. the Socialists claim a gain of twenty five seats, mostly from the Catholic party, which apparently is losing ground everywhere. The Lib erals are losing less than was expect
 It is believed that the new cham Der of deputies, in which no party will have an absolute majority, will consist of from eighty to eighty-five members of the Catholic party, sixty to sixty five socialists, thirty-five to forty Liberals and five to ten members elected from the smaller political groups. The last chamber, elected i'1 1913, consisted of 101 Catholics, 55 Liberals, S9 Social Democrats and two Christian Socialists.
 The greatest Socialist gains were in the large cities, Antwerp accounting for five seats and Liege and Charle- roi for two each. The Socialists also made gains in the hitherto inaccess- ible Flemish country districts
 Camille Hiiysmans, secretary of the SnternalionaT Socialist Bureau, with tour other socialists, was elected In Antwerp

CALL FOR 500 cHAIRMEN OF
 RAILROAD BROTHERHOOCS

Cleveland, O.. Nov. 17.-A telegraph call for joint conference of the aU0 general chairmen of the four great brotherhoods to consider Director General Hines offer of slow freight service overtime was issued today af- ter an all-day conference of the brotherhood chiefs.
 The meeting. which will be held next Monday in Cleveland, is to ob- tain an expression from the member ship of the proposed scheme of over time payment. They probably will also consider demands for general wage increases, which have already been made by two of the brotherhoods, ac- cordinS to W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, who said, however. such is not the purpose of the conference.
 The brotherhood chiefs maintain that the reasonable time period re- quested by President Wilson to allow the administratio time to lower the high cost of living rather than advance wages of railroad men has expired with no material action having been taken.
 Director General Hines offer of overtime for slow freight service was made to the trainmen and the firemen but since. if they accepted it. the offer would be made to the engineers and conductors, all will act on it.

LITTLE CHANGE IN MINING
 DISTRICTS OF w. VIRGINIA

Charleston. W. Va. Nov. 17.-Pre- dictions of United Mine Workers off cials here that all mines closed by the strike would be in operation today failed to materialize, according to re- ports received at the local headquar- ters of the Kanawha Coal Association tonight. Little change in the union mining districts of the southern part of West Virginia was indicated by the reports.
 Although about seventy-five per cent. of mines were operating in the Kanawha fields it was estimated at the association that the production would be but slightly increased over the closing days of last week as less than fifty per cent. of the miners had reported for work at the various op- erations.
 Officials of the United Mine Work CTS said they were finding it difficult to get the men back work because of discrimination" against union men and the threatened levy of fines by op- orators. They asserted also that the men were refusing to return on ac- count of the slow progress" being made in the wage negotiations.

 WHEN HE WILL RESIGN

Washington Nov. 17-Carter Glass secretary of the treasury, had not de- termined tonight just when he would resign to accept appointment as sue cessor to Senator Thomas 5. Martin of Virginia, who died last week.
 After MT. Glass was notified by Gov ernor Davis that he had been selected over a host of others, he sought the advice of President Wilson. who urged him to accept. lie probably will send a formal letter of acceptance to Gov ernor Davis tomorrow.
 In the absence of any direct state ment from MT. Glass there was d diff ference of opinion in official quarters tonight as to the probable time of his retirement from the treasury. Ordl- narily, he would not retire before De- cember first, the time for the opening of the regular session of congress, but some democratic leaders were said to have advised that he present his ere dentials immediately and thus help out in the treaty fight.
 There was much speculation as to who would be named by the president as head of the treasur.- department More than a dozen names were men, toned but no one seemed to have any decided lead.
 MT. Class told friends today he would n, ike a recommendation if the president desired, but declined to say who he might have in mind.

Bandits Rob Bank At Randolph, Mass
Bound Treasurer, a Woman Clerk and a Customer Made Haul Valued at $4O,- 900 to $5O,OOO.

Randolph, Mass, Nov. 1.-The Ran dolph Savings Bank was raided today by four armed men who bound Treas urer N. Irving Tolman. a woman clerk and customer. stripped the vault of bonds, cash and valuables estimated at s40.000 to $50 900 and fled in an au- tomobile in which they had come. They left no clue except the automo- bile registry number. The men were of foreign extraction, Treasurer Tol- man said.
 Depositors are protected against the loss, according to the treasurer. Part of the booty was in Liberty bonds, some of it was in cash. and valuables placed in deposit by customers also were obtained by the men from yari- ous drawers of the vault.
 It was within a few minutes of clos ing time this afternoon, MT. Holman said, when two young men entered the bank lobby. One asked for a pen and both started to write at q desk The treasurer noticed nothing peculiar about them at the time. Two other men entered the bank few minutes later just after the last remaining customer had gone.
 With their appearance, one of the men at the desk vaulted the railing and with revolver extended ordered Treasurer Holman to throw up his hands, Another pinned Miss Frances Howard a clerk. to the wall, stopping her mouth with his hands and the other two were over the railing and at the vault in moment. The treas urer and clerk were bound and sur geons tape was pasted over their mouths While the bandits were al work George Glidden. a customer ot the bank, entered and was confronted by a man with revolver. He. too, was bound and gagged and tied with the i treasurer They were thrown to the | floor in the rear of the office and GOV i cred by coats taken from the walls 1 Little was said. except to demand the 1 treasurers keys. The men showed nc familiarity with the bank. but wen about their work quickly and hat cleaned the vault within fifteen min uteS.
 The leader then ordered one of thu
 men to stand guard for five minute: 1 and the other three men left. Th' sentry stayed minute or two. theI followed his confederates in time. i is believed to jump inc the automobil' which they had left standing outside
 the bank door, with the motor run
 ming.
 The treasurer and his fellow pris oners attempted to wrench themSelve clear of their bonds. but it was sev eral minutes before MT. Holman free, his hands sufficiently to operate tn 1 burglar alarm.

Washington, Nov. 17.AThere were evidences of real progress today in the wage scale negotiations between ceal miners and operators of the cen tral competitive field. although no meeting of the joint wage scale com nittees was held. The conference was postponed until tomorrow at the request of the operators. who spent the day preparing a reply to the de- mands resubmitted Saturday by the workers. The operators were in touch by wire with owners not repre- sented here for the purpose of ob- taining their approval Of the counter proposals. which have now assumed definite shape. Reports also were prepared to show the effect that high CT wages, taken in connection with the suspension of production. would have on coal prices this winter
 Secretary Wilson does not intend to allow negotiations to drag. although he will not interfere as long as the wage scaleN committees are making headway, it was said at the depart ment of labor.
 With the nations visible coal supply rapidly diminishing, the administra- tion is determined to bring about the resumption of production without de- lay ana intends to hasten the settle ment between operators and miners it was said. Officials of the department of labor stated however, that reports
 to the effect that the government may take over mines and operate them
 were without foundation. Such action
 they said would be taken only as the last resort.
 Meanwhile, in behalf of the centra field operator committee, series oi telegraphic reports from mining cen ters was given out showing that no
 a mine was operating in it's territory Production was absolutely at stand l still in southwestern states, the reports declared, and averaged only about 5 | per cent. of normal in Pennsylvania ] fields outside of what is chased a! 1 the central competitive field.

 STATISTICS FURNISHED BY AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

St. Louis. Mo-, Nov. 17.-In the fva year period 1912 to 1916, the tinla worked in the bituminous coal min4s fthis country ranged from 195 to .zgs days of a possible BIO working days, according to statistics furnished the American Mining Congress conFen- tion today by Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the United States bureau of mines. Tn 1917 the mines worked 243 days. and in 1913. under the ab- normal conditions they worked 24s days, according to Dr. Manning
 Dr. Manning in addressing the cons vention said that the frequent pe- riods in which the bituminous mines, especially in the spring and summer months, are not at work, are the re- suit of causes not under the control of either the operator or the miner. This is caused in a large part, he said, because consumers reduce their pul-- chase of coal in the spring and sum- mer months.
 "The trouble is that the consumer does not perceive the cost of this to himself" he continued. "The pur-
 chase of coal by the consumer during these months must therefore be made , worth while to him from a money standpoint.
 Since congress has prevented bv l law agreement among operators as to price, it become impossible for them
 to take care of this situation by agree ing to sell their coal for materially less in summer and making it up in winter. It has been suggested that | this could be taken care of through ! the government establishing summer and winter rates on coal, so fixed that there would be no loss of net revenue at the end of the year; or still bettev. establishing a sliding scale that wou [ lproduee an eduaIization Of coal pti--
 chases and shipments through all the months of the year"

NATIONAL GRANGE TO MEET
 NEXT YEAR IN BAY STATE

Grand Rapids. Mich. Nov. 17.--Dele- gates to the National Grange voted late today to accept the invitation ten dered by Leslie S. Smih of Massachu- setts to hold next years convention in that state.
 Much interest centered this after noon in the Kenyon Anderson bill. which the grange would have amend : ed. This is measure to put the pack CTS under license.
