MOVE TO PREVENT
STRIKE OF MINERS
CABINET TO TAKE STEPS TO
AVERT NATIONWIDE WALK
OUT OF COAL WORKERS.
Representatives of the Workers ana
the Operators Invited to Get
Together and Find Some
Solution of Problem.

Washington.-Imm steps TO
aver. the threatened nationwide 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 or
Tuesday, Secretary Wilson of the de
partment Of labor announced that ne
would invite John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, and John L. Brewster, represent
ing the operators, to confer with him
here.
While efforts of the Miners and op-
orators TO reach an agreement on the
demands of the workers, which in
rlude increased pay and shorter hours,
have failed, Secretary Wilson is hope
full that some amicable adjustment OF
the controversy can be made. 1t is
understood 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 a strike
on the railroads is understood TO be
uppermost in the minds of government
officials. A shutdown of the mines
would result in a paralysis OF tht
| transportation system within a shor
| time, with consequent suffering ovel
the country because of the shutting of
of populous centers from food supplies
Industry also would be brought to
standstill, with public utilities stopped

Tho Money Situation.

There was a wide difference of opinion
In Wall Street yesterday as to whether
or not the sharp rise of money at the
close of business on Wednesday was in
tended by the banking fraternity as a
warning against the present pace Of
speculation. The effect OF the higher
rates was to take the edge of the spec
ulstion yesterday. but investigation
failed to disclose any concerted attempt
on the part of bankers to curb specula-
ton. As a matter of fact the rise in
rates was just what has been expected
all along by those who have kept in
mind the fact that next Tuesday sub
scribers to the Victory Loan will make
their second instalment on the payment
Of the loan. This is expected to involve
considerable amount of money, not
only in the local Federal Reserve dis
trict but also In the rest Of the country.
In the case of all the preceding loans
approximately 10 per cent. OF the entire
proceeds of the loans have been paid
in on the second instalment and bankers
are expecting no less an amount on next
Tuesday. Another factor in the situa-
ton yesterday was the payment of semi
annual interest on the Second Liberty
Loan. which amounted to SIC, 1000, 900.

Gossip About MerEera.

With Governmental financing out OF
the way, at least temporarily, and with
industrial financing again to the front,
there is considerable talk in the finan-
cial district about some probable merg-
ers which are reported to he on the
fire. None of the large ones have been
confirmed, but in some OF the cases re-
ported negotiations are under way.
The largest OF these. OF course. is the
big shipping combine reported to be
under consideration by American Inter-
national. Another is a reported combi-
nation OF Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies
with a smaller shipping company Lack
awana Steel has been reported in ne
gotiations with Midvale. looking to a
merger. This, however. has been denied
by director of LaCkawanna. 1t Is re-
ported that Royal Dutch has become in
terested In the shares OF Mexican Pc
troleum. General Motors is reported 10
be angling for the Fisher Body Corpora
ton. General Cigar is reported under
accumulation by interests connected
with United Cigars. and Du Pont in
terests are reported to be anxious to
take CASTOR. Williams and Wigmore into
their fold to handle Du Pont export
business.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Sentiment More Conservative.

In spite of the markets stability and
failure Of traders to make much impress
sion on standard stocks yesterday, sem
tlment was a great deal more conserva-
tive than at any time In the last fort
night In this connection indications Of
important selling of stocks, not by those
who purchased them in the last few
weeks, but by those who accumulated
them during the slump in the early
part Of the year when the mar
ket was in the doldrums, con-
tinued. This selling was more notice.
able in the specialties than In the stand
ards of the type of steels. Because
of the enormous profits which the gen.
eral public has to It's credit, however, any
ordinary outburst Of selling such as took
place yesterday fails to make much i'm
preston and In consequence reaches
nothing more than the first level of stop
loss orders, which are put in the market
by semi-professionl traders to protect
themselves against the usual bear raids
and sinking spells. A factor in making
for conservation was a report that an
important announcement would be made
next week in connection with the ex-
pansion in Stock Exchange loans.

The banking pools and large operators
Interested in rail stocks and who. accord

outside liquidation for profit taking pur-
poses yesterday. which blocked their
plans for further advance IN these stocks.
II any such thing were intended The
reaction. in comparison with the ad-
Iances OF the last two days, was a very
light one. being limited in most cases to
fractions. and It gave many investors in
rail stocks opportunity to get into the

anticipated. Chicago. Milwaukee and ct.

lay. Its advance was Is points. Mis-

Local fractions Revive,

It is one of the markets wonders that
the traction stocks, which have occu-
pied the unfortunate position OF a poor
relation for several months, should come
to life suddenly and gain actively. But
the buying in these shares was good
and reported to come from people who
generally know what is going on on the
inside. IL was reported that a new
plan for the financial relief OF the local
fractions Is under way and that il con-
Germs partial revocation OF the trans
FER privileges. II is said to be almost
ready for announcement. Interborough
Consolidated preferred was the most ac-
tive Issue. advancing 81 points. and
the common was up 1A. B. r. T Ger

Wall Street was not surprised yeste--
day at the advance of the Wrestling
house dividend TO per cent, shared
alike by the common and the preferred,
because II has had in mind large profits
which the company has been building
up and has been discounting for the last
three weeks Just such an anticipated in
crease. In the last year Westinghouse
total sales billed were ia excess of $780,
100000. against s95, 4O7 in the year
ended on March 81. 1918. The report
for the quarter is expected to show
wide decrease in untitled orders at the
close OF the fiscal year and that busi-
ness has so far recovered in recent
weeks as to be on a basis virtually
equal to the full capacity OF the plants,
except I'm one or two departments. Small
electric equipment and appliances, here
