cile differences had been made by .
joint committee of employers and
employees. The labor representa-.
tives would be chosen both by those
"out on strike and those remaining
in the employ of the several COM
pafies.
The climax Of the days tense ses-
sions, one Of which was recessed In
the midst Of confusion, came when
Samuel Gompers, leader of the Ia
Dor delegation, made an inpas-
stoned plea for intervention in the
steel strike and reviewed the nego-
tiations leading up to the calling Of
the strike on September %. i,
Looks at Gary.
Looking directly at Judge Gary.
chairman Of the United States Steel
corporation, seated with the public
group, less than IS feet away, the
labor leader declared that the steel
corporation had acted like the boil
sheviki," In. refusing to meet repre-
sentatives Of the other party in the
dispute. Judge Gary kept his eyes
fixed on the labor leaders face
throughout the speech, but made no
reply whep Mr.. Gompers concluded.
Outside the conference hall labor
delegates declared that the confer
ence would be a flat failure unless
it took action on the steel strike.
Several intirnatcd that the labor
delegation might withdraw from the
conference If the arbitration rcsolu-
tons were defeated, although more
conservative representatives did not
believe the group as a whole con-
templated any such drastic action.
That the employer group does
not favor Intervention in existing
disputes, either under the labor OF
substitute arbitration proposals, was
indicated by the remarks in the con-
ference of L. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson rail-
way. and statement issued tonight
by Magnus w. Alexander, manae-
ing director Of the National Indus

UNCLE SAM IS
TRYING TO avert
Miners STRIKE
Cabinet Discusses Situation
and Conference With
Union Heads VIII
BE Called.

Washington, Oct. l4.--Immediate
steps to avert the threatened ma
tion-wide strike OF bituminous coal
mine workers are to be taken by the
federal government. After Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet had discussed
the situation at length Secretary
Wilson OF the Department of Labor
announced that he would invite
John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers of Am -rica,
and John L. Brewster, Representing
the operators, to confer with him
here, probably Thursday.
While efforts of the miners and
operators to reach an agreement on
the demands Of the workers. which
include increased pay and shorter
hours, have failed Secretary Wilson
is hopeful that some amicable ad-
justment of the controversy can be
made. 1t is understood that he will
impress upon both Mr.. Lewis md
Mr.. Brewster the importance OF un-
interrupted operation OF the mines
upon the life of the nation.
Would Stop Railroads.
The possible effect of such a strike
on the railroads is understood to be
uppermost in the minds OF govern
ment officials, as a shutdown Of the
mines would restlt in paralysis OF
the transportation system within a
short time, with consequent suffer
ing over the country because of the
shutting off of populous centers
from food supplies. Industries also
would be brought to standstlll with
public utilities stopped and shipping
Tied up.
President Lewis OF the miners I'm
ion, who has been in this city con-
serrins with other union officials,
went TO Indianapolis TO prepare the
cali for the strike on November !.
officials hope the issuing OF the call
will be deferred until after the con-
ference here. Should the conference
be barren Of results further action
by the government is expected, but
no one il authority would venture
10 suggest what form that action
would take.
Whole Cabinet May Decide.
While the cabinet decided to leave
the settlement OF the strike with the
Department OF Labor, it was regard
I'd As more than likely that if the
conference failed the entire cabinet
would consider the next course, .
/, Besides threatened strike of coal
miners, the cabinet discussed the
general industrial situation today
and It was announced that Secretary
Baker would make a statement on
the subject tomorrow before the

that he hadn't in the least changed
his mind about the truth of what
he had said.
Says All Pledges Broken.
Senator MeCumber, a republican
member Of the foreign relations
committee, was speaking in reply to
Chairman Lodge of. the committee
who had just concluded prepared
address supporting the Shantung
amendment and declaring japan was
building in China an empire nefiac-
ing the United States. Japan re-
lentlessly had broken her pledges
and would continue to do so, in fur
therance of her scheme for China's
exploitation, Mr.. Lodge asserted.
In replying, Senator McCumber
argued that the proposed amend
ment would be of no avail because
Shantung already was in Japan's
possession and altering the treaty
would not change that possession.
On the other hand, he said. the
league OF nations would put the
Civilized world with grip upon
=. Japan's throat" to compel 1t to make
good It's promises to restore the
province to China.
Later Senator Reed made an ex-
tended argument against the league,
asserting that if it had the power to
force Japan to give back Shantung,
it certainly would have the power to
compel the United States to do
whatever it desired. He Argued that
the league council and assembly
would not be judicial bodies, because
every member would be an interest.

NOW COMES FORTH
THE ELEVENTH OF
COMMANDMENT

Newark. N J.. Feb. S--And it came
to pass that in the year of our Lord
MCMXIX. the pure in heart Of the
+City called Newark did promulgate an
eleventh commandment. to-wit:
Thou shalt dance only with thy
feet; verify. the shimmy SILVER is a
thing of evil and shall be cast out be-
youd the pale of society"
This great movement (reform) was
builded upon the desire of the city
patriarchs that the youths and maid
ems should conine their gamboIs, to
those innoG ent pleasures which are
termed trotting of the fox and step
ping but once. The new command
ment is written in the Book of Ordi-
nances. and is effective on the NOR
TOW. when all shimmy shiyering here
ceaseth.

4 warning was issued TO the striI1-

afternoon by Judge Paul Heinz in
police court that. while the picketing
of the theaters might continue if con-
Quoted in an orderly manner. the city
would not tolerate the singing out of
any person or persons by the pickets
at whom to direct their remarks. This
warning was issued as the outcome of
the trial of Clarence Sutherland. 326
Tyler street, charged with disturbing
the peace of Barbara Frey and Bertha
Thoma, two young ladies employed in
the Novelty theater orchestra.
Sutherland was arrested Wednesday
night the girls charging that on jan
uary l, when they were about to en-
ter the theater, Sutherland was on the
picket line. and approaching them
pointed his finger at them with the
statement: There goes two scab mu-
sfciaaS'
These and similar incidents had
been repeated on other occasions. the
girls testified. but only the one Incl
dent was embodied in the complaint
They testified that they considered
that SutherIaud's remarks were IN
sulting and tended to hold them UP to
public ridicule. Robert Mack. mana
ger of the Novelty. testified that he
was standing in front of the Ma eStic
at the time the alleged incident oc-
shake his finger at Miss Thoma and
saw his lips move. but could not make
out what was said. All attempts TO
bring out information concerning
other alleged troubles were objected
TO by the defendants counsel and the
objections sustained.
Sutherland Not There.
When Sutherland was placed on the
stand he denied that he was on picket
duty January I and that he did not
know before who the girls were
Clyde Tressner testified that he was
on the picket line that day and that
Sutherland was not there The girls
and Mack all insisted that Sutherland
was the man.
The defense quoted from Webster's
dictionary to show that the word
'scab" was not insulting and that it
merely denoted nonrunion person
who takes the place of a striking union
member This was insisted upon even
considering that Sutherland had made
the statement. which was denied.
