cool Operators and Miners Can
not Reach Wage Agreement
Secretary Wilson Submits a
Plan.

washington, Nov. 21.-Secretary of
ohor Wilson stepped to the front
.gain tonight in an effort to bring
r;ners and operators together, after
proposal by each side had been re-
,scted and the slate wiped clean.
Mr.. Wilson is said to have formally
presented definite proposal for set
flement of wage disputes which would
..nd bituminous miners back to work
bpfore the country was in the throes
n coal famine, but its nature was
not disclosed. 1t was generally be-
| l;eved he suggested wage increase
| II about thirty -one per cent.
Both sides united in asking him to

after the miners had definitely reject
+ Cd twenty per cent wage advance

/ to agree to a counter proposal from

week with half holiday on Saturday.
When the conference adjourned
Latter six-hour session, Thomas T..
Brewster, chairman of the operators,
declared that their offer had been
|Withdrawn and that the slate was now

Secretary Wilson said that progress
had been made and that he would
meet the subcommittee again tomor-
row afternoon.
Comparative data on increases in
THE cost of living and wage advance to
miners since 1914 were submitted by
/ Mr. Wilson, who declined to make

between the cost of living and wage
increase figures announced by the sec
retary at the opening of the confer

An ultimatum served by the opera
tors that their offer represented the
maximum was reaffirmed tonight by
/ Mr.. Brewster, who declared it could

When the conference failed to- agree

SUGAR FAMINE
Is PREDICTED
Attorney General Palmer is
Placed in Charge Of Food Ad-
ministration- Buy Available
Stocks.


Washington, Nov. 21.-President
Wilson today placed the government
again in control of the nations food
supply by transferring the authority
of food administrator to Attorney
General Palmer.
Revival of the wartime functions
of Administrator Hoover resulted di-
rectly from government efforts to
avert famine in sugar, but the pow
ers delegated to the head of the de-
partment of justice win be used also
to help put down the ever mounting
cost of living.
For the present, the attorney gen.
eral will not put into operation all of
the machinery permitted under the
executive order signed by the presi-
dent, but should conditions arise to
make it necessary the full pressure of
all the broad power vested in him will
be exerted to meet them.
Mr.. Palmer's STAFF VIII begin i'm
mediately to build up sugar dis
tributing system which will allocate
all sugar stocks in the country. 1t
will provide an equitable system of
distributing supplies, and will defeat
any concentration or boarding, offic-
ials said.
Plans tentatively decided upon pro-
vide for increasing the prices on all
sugar, excepting the Louisiana crop,
for which a price of II cents already
has been fixed, to IL cents a pound
wholesale.
Through this increase new sources
of supply are expected to be opened.
With assurances that fair margin
of profit, said to beabout $1.50 a hum
dred pounds, would be allowed, sugar
refners are ready to enter the Cuban
markets and purchase all available
stocks, it was stated. Thus, officials
believe, the increased price will avert
shortage which threatens to become
a famine during the next sixty days.
Immediate action contemplated in
curtailing the consumption of sugar
by manufacturers whose products are
not regarded as essential food. This
will apply particularly to soft drink
dealers and candy manufacturers.
The danger of sugar famine will
be greatest next month, it was said,
as stocks are rapidly being depleted
and in many sections already exhaust
ed and the necessity for garnering all
available supplies from outside be-
comes daily more urgent.

tory throughout the land. Then let

Some Of President Wilson's Senate
followers do not consider it remote
possibility that he may decide to join
the issue and let the majority pro-
gram stand or fall by popular de-
cision in the campaign.

All were soon mounted and the or

group of men as they separated and
spread out like a great fan to gather
al catle in their path at designated
camping place miles away. This the
| boys learned is what is called circle
riding ana the going soon secame. hard
and fast, and although some Of the boys
found it an especially rough expert

horses combined to make their blood

| By noon they had reached the new
camp and met similar bands of men
from other ranches coming from other
directions, bringing all the cattle in
their territory, until tuere were. four or
| five thousand steers gathered in one
vast herd.
After a hasty meal the herd was di-
vided and men began the wolk of "cut-
[ ting out" each one looking for the
cattle bearing the brands of his par
ticular ranch. Apparently there was
nothing but dust, noise AND confusion,
but in reality the work was proceeding
all the while with the utmost rapidly
and certainty. In one great corral the
men were branding calves while whole
acres seemed to be covered with lowing
hundreds of cattle as the shouting, gall
| looping cowpunchers separated their
steers from the main herds. Here the
| scouts were allowed II get into the
game by riding around the different
herds and in holding them together or
holding the cut as it is called in the
Cow country"

would be over they were destined to
have some thrilling adventures out on

Father and Son Hike
Was Much Enioved

About As scouts from Troops Q, SO, Al, "A
and 4S. accompanied by number of
fathers and scout officials enjoyed a
sample of the simple but strenuous life
at Rock House last Saturday evening
The fathers and scouts arrived upon the
scene late in the afternoon, and as it
was ON the schedule for the scouts to
take care of dads inner man for this
one evening, preparations were begun I'M
mediately, and soon a scene of great ac-
tivity resulted.
Forms of old boys and young scurried
hither and thitner in the gathering twi-
light, bringing wood and leaves, and soon
the rock hillsides were dotted with bright
fires, like sparkling jewels against their
dark background of green and gray, saw

The meal went straight to dads heart
as well as elsewhere. And who knows but
that eating outdoors, while looking into
the glowing emhers with their age-old
charm of mystery and retrospection
brought back memories of boyhood days
to dad, and established d 'comradsrie
between him and his boy, that made for
mutual sympathy and understanding.
After supper all gathered about the big
camp fire, which had been built by
Chief Wester himself, with the aid OF
an expert assistant in the person of Har-
old Cowart of Troop 2.
Around the fire stunts and contests, pc

SURE WAY TO ENJOY
SLEEP WHILE ON AN
OVERNIGHT HIK E

A great many scoutmasters are trou-
bled by sleepless nights when on hike
with their troops This is usually caused
by the apparently unruly disposition oil
the Scouts on the hike, and their evident
desire to avoid sleep as much as possible.
Here is a recipe, tried and approved,
which is guaranteed to curb the excess
spirits of the mixers, and put them in u
suitable mood to allow sleep for all par
ties concerned al night.
The first condition imposed is that the
Scouts carry all their equipment, grub,
blonkets, etc, and hike all the way to
camp. The 5coutInaster must hike his
boys fast. and allow lettering the
way. If a Scout is .ollowed to take his
time he will develop lot of unused ac-
| tivity, which ii sure to bubble out that
night.
| When the expedition arrives at camp
no time must he lost, but'the scoutmastcr
must set his boys about their several
| tasks 1t oncasn. Two Scouts must oe de-
! tailed to carry " alter, four to cut wood
flor the kitchen range, and the rest to
make general preparations for the night,
such as cutting wood for the bonfire,
making the fire, etc.
When a Scout is detailed, he must be
allowed no rest, but must be kept con-
stantly at it. The two Scouts carrying
water must continue to do SO until the
supper is ready. The scoutmaster must
cook a sure sleep stew, prepared in the
| following manner:
| Four cans of tomato soup.
| Two cans of vegetable soup.
| One can of akra and one of tomatoes
| Five cans of baked beans.
i Two pounds of stew meat, chopped INTO
small chunks.
Twop ecks of irish potatoes peeled and
chopped
One-half pound of bacon. chopped.
| Four pounds Of wieners, chopped fine.
The above listed ingredients must be
mixed together in a large stew pot, ana
with a suitable amount of water added.
must be cooked until done, then served
steaming The recipe calls for one nail
gallon to be fed to each Scout, along, with
a plentiful SUPPLY of fried bacon, fried
sweet potatoes and bread
After applying this half gallon of sure
sleep" stir the camp fire up and teea
the Scouts plenty of marshmallows- After
a short while nut the Scouts mattresses
where the Scouts want them, heat stones
and rocks and lace them under the mat,

sleep alone. -

After ali these conditions are carried out

any trouble that night, but each ana All
