 To further the "call' Herr Dam aschke has affixed a list 10 his decla- ration of willingness, to be signed by all those who favor him.

CBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2+-Settle- ment of the controversy over a new wage agreement in the soft coal in- dustry tonight awaited action by President Wilson's cabinet.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield, speak ing to the joint wage scale committees of operators and miners, announced five principles which have governed" him and his associates.
 Dr. Garfield called the miners and operators together after a conference with Attorney General Palmer, Di- rector General Hines and Assistant Attorney General Ames.
 At the meeting of the cabinet to- morrow a definite decision of policy regarding all phases of the strike situ- ation is expected and if the cabinet is in disagreement the whole question may be put before the president.
 Owing to the disagreement which lad arisen as to the amount in the ln- crease of the cost of living and, con sequently the percent of wage ad- vance needed to meet higher living cost, great significance was attached to Dr. Garheld's declaration that the average total increase in pay over the 1913 base which was the base consid- cred in 1917 should not exceed the present increase in the cost of living over the same base.
 1t is also to be considered that the cost of living will fall rather than rise during the next few years" he added.
 Operators construed this statement as in conflict with the contention O Secretary Wilson that miners should be given a 3l per cent wage advance to equalize the margin between pres ent wages and a 79 per cent rise in living costs since 1914 Pointing out that wartime coal prices were fixed for the purpose of stimulating pro duction Dr. Garfield declared that the public would not now pay the increase over normal profits allowed during the war.
 His further statement that any wage increase should be "born by the operators or the public or both" was generally taken to mean that part of the advance must come out of the eX- cess profits of the coal mine owners.

FIREMEN TOLD CITY NEEDS A
 NEW TRUCK

The caterer said he had supplied enough turkey for 175 people, and that only about a hundred hremen were present, and where in the Sam Hill did they get those aDpetites.
 The way the Prescott Fire Depart ment goes after turkey is an index of the way they go after fires, and that IS the reason Inspector Wallace, the insurance expert told the fire boys that Prescott has the best record of any city of its size under the jurisdic- ton of the San Francisco underwrit- CTS. This, of course, didn't make 'em feel good or nothin'.
 Most important of all the subjects brought up at the annual banquet Sunday of the hremen, was the dec laration of A. A. Johns, for IS years a chief of the department, that every effort should be made to support the proposed water bonds, and that the department needs large and ade- quate fire truck. We need an ample water supply" he asserted, and a means of putting it where it is needed in emergencies"
 The fine stop record of the local department, he declared to be the direct result of the fine spirit of the men, who had never seen the night too cold and wet or snowy to turn out and do their work. They get to the fire and then do their work" he stated.
 Mayor Goldwater, treasurer of the department, who presided in his usual humoristical manner, first called on F. (. Whisman, former city clerk and fire department official who apprised the gathering that it was honored by the presence of every living ex-chief except one. He was glad to be a fireman, and told why.
 Next came a couple of solos by Gary Vyne that were roundly ap- plauded. Pop Miller had skirmished up a wonderful orchestra for the occasion, and the music was top notch.
 Another highly appreciated musi- cal number was contributed by a sol dier named Siegel, whose three offer ings were accorded a rising vote of thanks.
 J. H. Morgan responded for the Hooks, with few joshes about the recent overseas effort of the mayor and MT. Johns. He was followed by former Mayor Timerhoff, who com pared the fire fighters to the soldiers, always on the job and always close to the hearts of the people who plac- ed themselves under their vigilant protection.
 A cornet solo by Alberto Marine was highly appreciated.
 Wallace told an overseas story of considerable merit and advised the department members of the excellent standing of Prescott as a low-risk city. He seconded the motion about the fire truck
 Charles Brubaker, of Hook & Lad der Co. No. l, contributed some humor and then the mayor called for Chief Bert Hilton to preside during the nomination of new officers.
 Hilton and Bill Fitzgerald were nominated for chief.
 Bob Cornell was nominated alone

LAREDO, Nov. 24.-"El Univeps- al" Mexican newspaper, declares in its issue of last Saturday that it ''un- derstands the government will answer opportunely the note from the White House" regarding the kidnapping and subsequent arrest of American Con- sul Jenkins.
 The paper, copy of which reached here late today, carries an interview with Hilario Medina, sub-secretary of foreign affairs i'll the Carranza gov ernment, that official expressing the opinion that the government ought to await disposition of Jankins' case in the Mexican courts before taking final action.
 A dispatch bearing on the Jenkins case was received yesterday at the Mexican embassy and it was assumed that this was Mexico's reply. While there has been no indication as to MeXicos attitude, refusal to release the consular agent would not come as a surprise.
 The American demand was deliver ed to the Mexican foreign office last Wednesday, but as late as last Friday Jenkins still was held at Puebla and so far as the state department has been advised he has not been released

Fourth of July at Leon.

The majority of the people who
celebrated the Fourth of July from
here, went to Leon. The Garden
Grove band was one of the bands en-
gagged, the others being Lamont and
the Leon band. Leon made elabo-
rate preparations to entertain the
crowd, but greatly to the disappoint-
ment OF all the heavy rain which
came up in the afternoon spoiled all
plans, however all made the best of
the situation. Owing to the heavy
roads a great many were forced to
remain till the next day to get
home. Fortunately for the Garden
Grove crowd the evening passenger
train made it quite convenient for
them to get home. The people of
Leon showed every hospitality pos
slble to her visitors and it was Ger
talnly shame the many plans laid
for entertaining the crowd, had to
be abandoned. However the parade
in the morning was excellent and
the memorial services in the Harvey
park were carried out before din
ner. Our band, as usual, was good
and did their share in entertaining
the people. You could hear it on
every hand "well Garden Grove al
ways has a good band" We all
know it but it's human to like to
hear others say so.-Garden Grove
