MILLER UNIFORM TIRES are the
only t:tes with the famous tread that

many caterpillar feet engage the

the brakes because they mesh with the
road.
Uniform Miller Tires mean more
mileage certainty. That's because all

DOVE OF PEACE SPREADS WINGS OVER INDUSTRIAL CONFER ENCE AT WASHINGTON; SPIRIT OF CONCILIATION IS SHOWN BY GROUPS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-(R)-Aft- CT three days of unbreakabIe dead lock over disputed points between the groups representing labor and capital, the dove of peace spread it's wings over the industrial conference in progress here today But the dove is a timid bird and may take fright at any time.
 The capital group made the tir". oyertures looking toward a settlement of the differences. When it became apparent that no decision was to be arrived at over the proposal submit ted to the conference by representa- tyes of capital for the rejection of the principle of collective bargaining, the capital group this morning pre- sented a resolution in the confer ence stating that capital recognizes the right of employers of labor to deal or not deal with men not their employees.
 This is a concession to the de mands of the labor group and wheth- CT or not it will solve entirely the difficulties producing the heretofore existing deadlock, it has at least pro duced a spirit of conciliation that is highly manifest in the conference which leads to a belief here that the labor and capital groups will CO., operate in the future.

WASHINGTON. D. C. No.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. O.
 Secretary of Labor, w E. Wilson. admitted tonight that his effort to act as a mediator in the bituminous coal miners dispute has resulted in total failure. After an all day con- ference between Mir Wilson, Presi- dent Lewis, of the United Mine Workers and President Brewster, of ,Ag Operators association, all efforts to arbitrate the difference broke down and the conference was ended without having changed the situation in the slightest.
 Secretary Wilson announced, how ever, that he has not abandoned hope of ayerting the threatened strike of the workers in the central bituminous fields, He has asked a meeting of the full wage scale committee of the workers to be held in this city next Tuesday. His request was granted by the miners and he hopes to make some arrangement where the strike may be prevented. In the meantime the unions are continuing their preparations for a complete tie-up of the industry in the central field The operators admit that the pro- posed strike will paralyze all the mines and probably create a serious coal shortage in many centers of pop ulatiOn.
 OPERATORS JOIN
 WASHINGTON, Oct 17-(P)-The coal operators officially announced tonight that the association had agreed to meet with the full wage scale committee in conference with Secretary of Labor Wilson next Tues day in a final effort to prevent the coal strike. However, the operators remain firm in their decision not to negotiate with the workers over their demand for siX-hour day and de clare that they will not deal with the unions in any manner unless the proposed strike is called off
