WORK WILL BE GENERAL
LEWIS ONLY MAN TO TALK
Question of Arbitration of
Differences Had to Do
With Miners Decision

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE
United Mine Workers, through
their general committee decided
early today to obey the mandate
of Federal Judge Anderson which
means recall of the strike order.
A decision was reached at 4:10
this morning after II hours Of dis
cussion. The conference then ad-
journed until two this afternoon.
Acting president Lewis said Cen
tlemen, we will comply with the man
date of the court. We do II under pro
test, but we are Americans and We
cannot fight our government that's
ALL.
None of the other members Of the
committee would add anything to
Lewis statement. All members of the
committee appeared tired and worn
by the long discussion and quickly
dispersed.
The recall Of the strike order viii
open the way Immediately for the
resumption of negotiations between
the miners and the operators. 1t is
also understood that the question Of
arbitration entered largely into the
discussion in the final stages Of the
meeting but the Miners position on
this subject was not announced.
The question as to just haw many
miners will obey the order resembling
the strike is problematical, but in
some districts 1t was considered the
resumption of work will be General.
The meeting was probably the most
ever conducted by la
Dor organization in this country. For
in the view of the labor leaders. 1t is
TO determine whether any organize
ton would b forced by governmental
pressure through the courts TO discon
tinue the strike when apparently all

ANOTHER STATE
FOREST ACQUIRED
About 5000 Acres Bought Near Lanes
boro, Constituting Third and Larg-
est Thus Far Owned.

Chief Forester WI g. Hastings Of the
state forestry department at Mont
pelier in an interview gave out the in
formation that the state of Vermont
is closing a deal today whereby it
purchases through the state forestry
department about 5000 acres of wild
land near Lanesboro on the Montpelier
{ Wells River railroad. known as the
Goslant tract. This purchase is in
keeping with the recognized and we'll
established policy of the state in for
astry matters TO secure through pur-
chase certain of its wild cutover lands
70 be operated as a forest property by
the forestry department incidental to
its other work and to show through ex-
ample how such tracts of land should
be treated Ev forest owners and to net
4 revenue for use in future forestry
operation.
This area is perhaps better suited
FOR demonstration purposes than any
other tract of similar size in the state
The railroad passes through the tract
and the area will therefore be viewed
with interest annually by thousands of
the citizens of Vermont as we'll as by
strangers passing through the state.
The area is also suitably located
since it is an integral part of a much
larger area consisting of some $4,000
to 10000 acres of desolated country. all
of which it is felt should be purchased
by the state and through scientific
forest care be reclaimed from its pres
ant nonproduction. 4 forest tract in
the most deplorahly wrecked condition
can be made to not only pay its way
/ but yield a handsome revenue Mt the
end of the first rotation of about SO
years.
This acquisition in one stroke creates
the largest single piece of forest pro
perty the state has acquired. The sec.
ond and third largest of the 13 state
forests are the Mansfield and Camel )
Hump forests with 5000 and 4,50(
Iacres respectively. Not only is this tn,
largest forest tract ever acquired at ono
thine by the department but it is like
wise the most accessible and also tho
least rugged, all of which are factor:
With go to make this by far the mos
desirable purchase of its kind the state
has ever made.
The money for this purchase wa
made available partly through direc
appropriation for the purpose, partl,
| by earnings of the forestry department
md partly through savings effected il
the money provided for forestry ad
ministration by a discontinuanee O
some of the field activities in forestr,
matters due to the scarcity of labor ant
the excessively high prices prevailing.

for the care of the poor and incompc-
tent.
The general assembly will meet in
biennial session on Wednesday. Jan. s.
One of the most important matters to
be considered is the ratification or re-
lection of the prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution. Supporters
of the amendment have claimed that
the house will ratify but their claim
for like action in the senate is contro-
verified.
This was virtually the only issue of
the fall session. AS the transportation
and communication systems are fed
orally controlled, and as excise matters
wait upon the fate of the proposed
federal prohihitory amendment, it is
expected these subjects will receive
little attention. This will enable the
Legislature to give greater considera
ton to questions affecting labor, regu
lation of automobile traffic and work
men S compensation.

A BILLION IN DIAMONDS HERE
America Now Owns Fully Half of the
Worlds Supply.

The value of the diamonds owned in
the United States at the present time is
apparently more than $1,000, 100000.
As early as 1900 diamond expert said
that in that year gems worth $780,
100000 We're held in this country. A
compilation made public yesterday by
the National City hank shows that the
value of diamonds imported since 1900
is $5o6,0oo.00e.
This alone would bring the total
value of the diamonds of the country
above the billion-dollar line, the
bank s statement said, "but when it
IS remembered that $175.00o,0 600 worth
Of the diamonds imported since 1900
came in the carat state, and that their
value was doubled by the cutting pro-
cess, which occurred within this coun-
try, it is apparent that the value Of
the stock in the United States is con
siderahly more than 81 ,000000,000, to
say nothing of the further fact that
prices of diamonds have increased ma
terially during the war.
About one-half of the world s dia-
monds are now apparently owned i'll
| the United States. An estimate made
in 1900 by the authority above referred
to put the value of the world s stock of
diamonds at rather more than $1,000.
100000, and Indicated that the United
States then owned about one-third OF
the total known stock. With the rapid
additions to our own stock through i'm
portation of S506,000,O0 worth since
1900, it seems probable that fully one
half of the worlds stock of diamonds
is now held in the United States.

DUE TO
POOR BUILDINGS
Life and Property Loss in Recent Por-
to Rico Earthquakes so Accounted
for by Special Commission.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec 26'
Correspondence of The Associated
Press. Loss of 200 lives and $4,000
600 damage to property as the result
of the earthquake shocks here in De-
tober and November. was due chiefly
TO the poor construction of buildings
along the west coast of the island, in
the opinion of Henry Fielding Reid and
Stephen Taber. members of the seis-
biological commission sent by the fed
eral government at the request of Gov
ernor wager to investigate and report
on the disasters
Shocks of a similar nature have oe-
cured in the past in Porto Rico and
may occur again. in the opinion of
these experts, but the possible loss that
may be caused can be greatly reduced
by the erection of shockresisting strue-
lures, their report states.
The members of the commission are
noted biologists. Dir. Reid. is from
Johns HOPKINS University. Baltimore,
while Dr. Taber is from the University
of South Carolina at Columbia, s. G..
The shocks which occurred here, the
two geologists report were less in in
tensty than that which occurred in
California in 1908 or the Charleston
earthquake in 1886. In their report to
Governor Wager the biologists say in
part:
"The damage done by the shocks
was greatest in the western part of the
Island and diminished progressively.
though not uniformly. toward the east.
On soft alluvial soils it was greater
than on more solid foundations in the
same neighborhood.
"The character of the construction
of the buildings was responsible for the
great destruction wrought. Well made
reinforced concrete buildings suffered
no serious injury even in the regions
where the shock was strongest. Wood
en- buildings and the small native huts
by yielding to the shock, were not
damaged.

SEEK TO PREVENT
EXTRA SESSION
The Democratic Leaders Say
President is Opposed to
One of Congress
DECIDE TO PUSH
ALL SUPPLY BILLS
And in That Way Remove Any Reason
That Republicans Might Have for
Urging Extra Session, Which Wilson
Opposes During Peace Conference.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-President
Wilson, according to Democratic lead
ers, is opposed to a special session of
congress during the peace conference.
These leaders intend to do everything
possible to prevent the Republicans
from forcing special session.
Republican leaders, it was said, have
been planning to pass the revenue bill
before March 4, but to hold up num-
Der of the supply measures so as to
force a special session. To Illustrate
any such plan the Democratic leaders
of the house have determined to pass
if possible all of the annual appropri-
alton bills before the revenue bill is
acted upon by the house in the form of
the conference report. They argue that
if the annual appropriation bills are
out of the way a week or so before
March 4, the Republican leaders will
not dare to- defeat She revenue bill.
1t was decided by the chairmen of
the different appropriation committees
to keep the house busy with these
bills until Feb. II, at which time, it
is thought, the revenue bill will be re-
ported from conference. In order to
pass all the supply measures before
that time it was determined to start
II clock sessions this week and hold
night sessions. if necessary The latter
will be abandoned if it is seen that
the supply measures can be disposed
of before the revenue hill is ready fol
final consideration by the house The
supply measures will be forced through
the house by a special rule, if imper
alive
Plans of the house leaders call. fol

senate by the middle of February Tt il
hoped that the Senate leaders viii ex
pedite consideration of the supply
measures and cooperate in. the plan,
of the house leaders to prevent an ex
ira session. Under the rules of tn,
| senate, debate cannot be limited excep
by two thirds vote, and if the dispo
sition for special session exists in tn,
senate one or two members can bring
defeat to several of the supply meas
ures and compel the President to cal
Congress into extraordinary session.
