Boston, Feb. pa thunderous sa
lutte of twenty-one guns from all tn
harbor forts at S o'clock toda,
sounded the opening note of New
England's welcome to President vii
son upon his return from the histor!
making peace conference.
Boston, Feb. 24.-President Wilson
is home again.
The George Washington, with the
President and his party aboard
reached the outer harbor at 6.22
O'Clock last night. The big liner al
once came to anchor. The President
came ashore at noon today.
Wilson weather luck wins once more
A wretched storm of snow, sleet and
rain which prevailed all day made it
look to thousands of anxious Boston
ians. as if the demonstration planned
for the Presidents return would be
dampened, if not drenched, tomorrow.
But late this afternoon the downfall
ceased, a rift in the leaden sky gave
the sun a brief chance to peep through
and sharp wind arose to dry the wet
and slushy streets.
So it looks as if the proud native
sons. reinforced by thousands of vlsl-
tors, will have a pleasant day to
catch the first glimpse of the chief eX-
acutive on his return from his history
making journey.
Plans for the reception and demon
stration have undergone little
change. The reception committee
aboard welcoming craft, will net leave
The pier here until 10 o'clock this
morning, instead of the hour of sun
lp as originally planned.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1S.-Failing
after an all-day conference to avert
a strike of nearly half million hi
luminous coal miners. called for the
very eve of winter. Secretary of La
Dor Wilson tonight invited miners
and operators TO send their full
scale committees to Washington
next Tuesday. when another effort
to bring about peace in the industry
will be made.
Both sides accepted the invita-
ton. This did not offer any great
hope. however, for representatives
of the operators stood firm i'm their
determination not 10 negotiate any
demand for a six-hour day. and not
TO deal with the unions unless the
strike. set for November list, was
called off.
John l.. Lewis acting president
OF the United Mine Workers Of
America. whose word probably
would swing the unions one way or

boring under . terrible strain when
he left the three cornered meeting.
Speaking 10 a group of reporters he
said he had told Secretary Wilson
that the 81 members of his wage
scale committee would be here on
Tuesday to meet an equal number
from the other side, but that it
would be useless to reconvene the
joint interstate wage conference
unless the operators changed their

a willingness TO frame another
agreement.

Melville " Mix, president of the

all parts OF the state have been

party are also active in a campaign
to have AIishawaka's well known
citizen allow his name to be brought

the state no man could command
the support in such q campaign

is one of the biggest men in every

biggest in the country. That this is

anything about. His frequent visits
TO Washington, and the many duties
he was called upon TO fulfill. kept
him busy during the entire time this
country was engaged i'm the conflict.
He is naturally of a modest and
retiring disposition. and refuses to
commit himself to any matter re-

that if he can he prevailed upon to
