Conditions in the Illinois soft coal

miners in various sections of the
state that the return of the mine
workers to their diggings would
await the outcome of the joint scale
conferences beginning in Washing

to the appeal of the government and
go back to work, although they held
to the belief that a few days-per-

Charges in Southern Field.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Novem ber IA
Denying assertions by officers of the
United Mine Workers of America that
certain mines in the Alabama district
had declined on one pretext or an
other to re-employ striking coal
miners ordered to resume work, lead
ing operators declared today that the
great majority of union miners have
refused to obey the instructions of
their organization to resume work.
H. l.. Badham, vice president of the
Operators Association in the Blocton
field, said no men had returned to
work in that region. He said he had
wired Attorney General Palmer that
the men were refusing to return to
the mines. Attorney General Palmer
has asked George Hargrove, United
Mine Workers organizer, here for
names of mining companies refusing
to re-employ strikers. Hargrove COM
plained to the Attorney General that
hundreds of men were turned back,
some of the reasons assigned being
that the places had been filled; that
the mine foreman was i'll: or that
nhysical examination was required.
Production in the Alabama field last
week was reported at $4,000 tons,
against a normal production of 200,-
600 tons.

us. VICTORY MEDAL
DESIGN APPROVED
Secretary Baker Acts on
Decoration to Be Given Men
Who Served in War.

which is to be presented by the United
States to every soldier, sailor or
marine who took part in the great
war. was approved formally today by
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment.
The design was prepared under the
supervision Of the Commission of Fine
Arts. the commission having been re-
quested to prepare the design. The
commission selected James E. Fraser
of New York, the celebrated sculptor.
to make the design.
When the war council of Paris de-
cided upon a victory medal to be
awarded bysvalf the associated and
allied countries which had taken part
in the war a.3afnst the centraf powers
It decided to submit specifications for
the medal and to leave to each coun-
try the selection of the sculptor and
the production of the medal. The
specifications called for a figure Of
victory on the face Of the medal and
the inscription "The Great War for
Civilization" On the reverse are to
be the names of the associated and al
lied nations, either in letters or
shields.
Will Be Made Of Bronze.
The medal is to. be made of bronze
and will be about the size of a silver
dollar. The design produced by Mr.
Fraser and the commission of fine arts
and approved by Secretary Baker is
beautiful, and it is believed will COM
pare fayorably with any of the VIC
tory medals produced by the other
countries.
The medals are to be made by the
government, either in the United
States mint or in places selected by
the mint. The Fine Arts Commission
has carried the work of production
as far as the master die, making. it
easy for the government to continue
with the production of the millions
of medals and to assure their perfec-
tion in every detail.
Now that the Secretary of War has
given his approval, it is expected that
the medals will be struck off as soon
as possible and presented to the men
for whom they are intended.
