coal miners in the United States to cease

John l.. Lewis, acting president of the

here late to-day for Washington to at
tend a conference, called by Secretary of
Labor Wilson, with Thomas T. Brewster.
president Of the Coal Operators asso-
citation.
Before leaving the city, Mr.. Lewis de-
clared that the only thing that could
prevent a strike of the miners on Novem-
Der l would be the reaching Of an agree
ment between the miners and operators
representatives before that date. The
signing of an agreement by the repre-
sentatives of the operators and miners
before November l, it was said. would
mean the countermanding of the strike
order issued to-day at least until the
convention acted upon the contract.
The miners head would make nc
predictions as to the result of the
conference in Washington. In the
meantime. he said, preparations fol-
the strike would be continued as il
the conference were not in progress
The strike order warns the mine
workers that there must be no suspen.
sion or stoppage of coal production
before the time fixed in the order
and declares that orderly procedure
must be followed throughout.

"and each member of our organiza.
tion must cooperate and assist ir

YOUNG MAN BURNS
TO DEATH IN BARN

Lowell, Oct. 15.-Edward Hines. % years
old, was burned to death last evening in a
fire which destroyed the barn owned by
his father, Sydney Hines. The manner in
which the barn caught fire is unkonwn
and why the young man, who was putting
up horse at the time, was unable to es-
cape from the building before being over
come, leaves an air of mystery surround
ing the affair. 1t Is believed here. how
ever, that while embarrassing the horse,
he in some way tipped over the lantern
and that he was overcome by the smoke
before he could get to the door which
he had fastened on the inside. Another
probable theory is, that he was suffocat-
ed while attempting to release the live
stock. The farm is located about two milse
east Of this village.
