CHAIRMAN LANE MAKES. LAST EFFORT ID KEEP
 CONFERENCE TOGETHER
President Urges Impera- tive Necessity of Ac- ton to Insure Indus trial Peace-Must Be Surer and Heartier Cooperation.

Washington, Oct. 22-Orga- niZed Iabor's representatives in the national industrial con- ference today forced the read ing of the letter to the confer ence which President Wilson yesterday dictated from his sick bed and in which he de- clared the public expected the conference to stay together until every possible means had been exhausted to establish a "surer and heartier co-opera- tion between all the elements engaged in industry"
 Washington, Oct. 23-The Preei- dents message follows:
 To the Ladies and Gentlemen of the
 Industrial Conference:
 am advised by your chairman that you have come to 6 s1tua ton which appears to threaten the life of your conference, and because of that am presuming t address a word of very sc<Emn appeal to you as Americans, It is not for men to assess the blame
  speak in g. spirit of criticism of any individual or of any group. But hav- ing called this conference, I feel that my temporary indispositon should not bar the way to 8 frank expression of the seriousness of the position in which this country will be placed should you adjourn without having convinced the American people that you had exhausted your resourceful- ness and your patience in an effort to come to some common agreement.
 At time when the nations Of the world are endeavoring to find a way of avoiding international war, are we to confess that there is no method to be found for carrying on industry except in the spirit and with the very method of war? Must suspicion and hatred and force rule us In civil life? |? Are our industrial leaders and our in dustrtaI workers to live together without faith in each other, con- stantly struggling for advantage over each other, doing naught but what Is compelled?
 My friends, this would be an in tolerable outlook, a prospect un- worthy of large things done by this people in the mastering of this con- tinent-indeed it would be an invita- ton to national disaster. From such a possibility my mind turns away, for my confidence Is abiding that in this land we have learned how to accept the general judgment upon matters that affect the public wealth. And this is the very heart and soul of de- mocracy.
 It is my understanding that you have divided upon one portion only

Will you issue orders to the po- hcemen to comply with the provisions of the city charter and the rules and regulations of the department and abandon their political activities" was the question asked by a Times Farmer reporter today of Police Superintendent John H. Redgate.
 1T have nothing to say" was the Wilson-like reply of the head Of law enforcing depart ment.
 Asked if he would enter charges against men who violated the city charter and rules of the department by eIectioneering for the Republican ticket, Superintendent Redgate made the same reply as is credited to him in answering the question above.
 Police Commissioner John Chester field Stanley was out of the city and it was not possible to interview him on the question of the police depart ment's activity.
 Chief Daniel J. Johnson of the fire department, this afternoon made the following statement concerning the political activity of firemen:
 T can assure that I have no knowledge that the firemen are ac- lively engaged in politics. If such a charge is made to me and is substan- tiated, I will at once make charges against the man guilty of violating the city charter and the rules and regulations of the department"
 The political activities of policemen and fremen are attracting unusual attention this year, partly because the public mind is more aroused and partly because the political work for police and firemen has never been so open as it is now.
 Men in the departments take off

their uniforms, in most cases, but re- tain their badges. They ring door bells, to ask citizens how they are going to vote. argue with citizens if the answer is not satisfactory. Some policemen have been reported, not ably one in the detective bureau as circulating the most outra geous stor-- ies, apparently without the least re- gard to the rules of the department of which he is a member.
 The policemen also, some of them unwillingly, have been giving to a po- litical fund, which is designed for the use of the administration Political Machine in the forthcoming cleo ton.
 The police and fremen hold their jobs during good behavior. They are not removed because the politics of the city government changes. They are required to stay out of politics, except that they may cast their votes.
 An ordinance of the city requires that policemen and firemen shall not be members of political clubs, but many have joined the district clubs which are operated in the interest of political machines.
 It is contemplated that due notice will be given to those who are guilty of violating department rules, the city charter and ordinances, and that subsequent violatSns will be pun ished by dismissal from the force, or by less drastic punishment, where the offense is not so exaggerated.
 John c. Stanley, president of the Board of Police Commissioners, is out of town today, but he is reported as having said that he has never heard that the men of his department join political clubs, engage in primary fights, canvass citizens to find out how they will vote, and so on.

Little Hope Of AveJ'ttiIl(T
 Coal Strike
Union Leaders and Opera tors Frankly Doubt Coali-
 tion Success SECRETARY WILSON
 STILL HAS HOPE

Washington, Oct. 22.-There was lit tie hope of averting by governm ent mediation the strike of bituminous coal miners set for November 1 when representatives of the miners and op- orators resumed today their joint conference with Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 While union leaders and operators were frankly doubtful of the success of coalition efforts, they readily agreed to MT. Wilson's request to meet again today after failure yes- terday to reach an agreement. Both sides stood firm overnight.
 There were reports after the meet ing got under way that Secretary Wilson would attempt to hold repre- sentatives of the miners and opera tors here to appear before the Senate Committee Investigating the coal situation if the conference failed to settle the strike.
 Some of the miners were reluctant about attending the meeting in view of the statement yesterday by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, that he did not see the necessity of adjourn ing over until today in face of the stonewall attitude of the operators. Secretary Wilson insisted, however, that the task was not hopeless.
 Just before noon Secretary Wilson was in separate conference with the operators representatives,. The union committeeman were excused until 2:30 p. n., when the joint conference was to be resumed. No explanation of this move was made.
 Johnstown, Pa, Oct. PA closed shop policy and an endorsement for the national movement for the or ganization of labor party pledged to carry out, by legislation, labor's program, including standardization of ccal mines, are recommendations to be considered by District Two, United Mine Workers of America, which opened the second session of it's bt- ennial convention here today.
 John Brophy, president of the dis trict, has recommended that the con- vention adopt the closed shop policy and go on record in favor of the new labor party. According to MT. Brophy, who is in charge of the con- vention, every local union in District No. Two will carry out the strike or der for bituminous miners Nov. 1, unless an agreement is reached by that time between operators and the union.

MORE TEACHERS BADLY NEED
 ED IN RURAL SCHOOLS

Phoenix. September 1.-Steps were taken by the state board of education at a special session yesterday which will assure the filling of some 65 ,ancancies in the state, caused by the inability of school boards to se- cure properly qualified teachers.
 Resolutions were adopted by the board permitting the temporary certl- fication of teachers until the next teachers examination to be held in December. This policy is the same as that adopted during the war, ana is intended only to meet an emergency situation. In order to secure tenn porary certificates. the apph> atlon must be recon :nended for such by the county superint tendent. Under the frmer order, endorsement Of both the county CTerintendent and the district board was required.
 The present situation is one grow ing out of the fact that in many small districts the salary and living condl- tions are not of high enough stan dard to attract any but the most in experienced and inefficient teachers. Many have left the teaching profes- sion within the last two years, being attracted by the higher wages and greater opportunities for advancement in commercial and industrial lines.

LEAGUE SHARES" BAD;
 STILL HAS FAITH IN WILSON

Birmingham. Ala, September 29.- If you want the league of nations to he a success you have got to support it by subscribing for stock. That was the argument used by Miss Sarah Benson of Chicago'', veritable Mrs. Get-Rick Quick Wall:ngford, with con siderable success in Birmingham, Ala.
 Miss Benson called at the home of Mrs. Blank this morning, and when she departed she had collected for two shares of stock in the league of
 DTS. without reservations.
 Mrs. Blank, who refused to give
 real name, laid the case before the police this afternoon, after MT. Blank had spent a couple of hours in explaining the league of nations to her.
 $ Mrs. Blanks story:
 am just an ordinary woman. 1 read the papers occasionally, but gen orally just glance at the headlines; so when this woman came to my house and said that great men like President Wilson and William Howard Taft were backing the league, and of fered me stock at $4.5O share I con sidered it good business venture. She pointed out to me that the pur- pose of the league of nations was to buy up all the material used by the different nations and make farming implements of it. I am a religious woman and she quoted me verse from the Bible about men beating their swords into plowshares, and it impressed me as an admirable plan.
 When I informed her that I would take two shares she asked with or without reservations?'
 '" What do you mean?' I asked.
 :" Well she explained, stock with reservations is SC share and with out them is $4.5O.'
 C Which way is President Wilson taking his?' I inquired.
 ."She informed me that the presi- dent was taking his without reserva- tions. so I invested what money l had with the woman.
 t'When my husband came home told him what I had done. At first he seemed mortified, then burst out into hearty laughter.
 :" Come here, dear, he said, and he took about two hours explaining the league of nations to me. After he had finished, of course, felt like silly old hen, and people would tease me to death about it if my name was used but I do think that this woman shou1d he caught. That is the reason I came to police headquarters and re- ported the natter.
 And what do you think Of the league now?' she was asked.
 She smiled.
 1Well, I'll still take mine like our President Wilson-without reserVa- tions".

A Serious Accident

Edward Malone, conductor on the
 Arizona & New Mexico Railroad, met
 with painful accident Monday morn ing last at the point of rocks railroad
 crossing. As MT. Malone was con- ing to his work he was struck by an
 automobile at the railroad crossing and rendered unconscious. The driv- CT of the car that struck MT. Malone kept on going, probably accelerating his speed, not stopping as he should, to aid and assist the victim of his reckless driving. Culprits of this character deserve to be severely dealt with under the law. Pedestrians have not surrendered all their rights on terra firma. MT Malone was removed to the A. c. Hospital where his wounds were dressed and later in the day he was taker to his home.

on this sction of the border and cattle outcome. The question puzzling some of them is whether the authorities think the cattle seized are portions of a herd driven lawfully across the bor der when grass was scarce last year, and added to remnant over there or whether a remnant was driven from here and added to a herd in Mex GO. In any event the federal off cers say the case promi ;al to be one of a sensational nature
 TIN IN 1918
 Tin is one of the highly useful metals that is practically not pro- duced in the United States proper. The output of tin from domestic ore in 1918 was only 6S tons, nearly all of it obtainedl from placers in Alaska.
 The tn imported in 1918 as metal and in concentrates, amounted to S2 S54 short tons, the largest quantity yet brought into the country in any one year.
 Deposits of tin ore are found in California. Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina, South Dakota, Wash fngton. Nevada and New Mexico, but the ore at some of them contains so little tin that it can not be mined with profit.
 Tin concentrate from Bolivia was handled at four tin-smelting plants in this countrv which nrOduced from 1t over 10, 900 tons of metallic tin.
 A report of tin in 1918, by Adolph Knopf, has just been published by the United States Geological Survey, De partment of the interior and chapter can be obtained free of charge on ap- plication to the Director of the Sur vey at Washington.
