RELINING OLD GUNS
Life of All Firearms Dcpcuds Upon Progress of Erosion in Barrel, Which impairs Accuracy of Fire.

Washington, Dec. 26---I'ho life of a gun depends upon the progress ot erosion, which sooner or later is cer- tain to impair the accuracy of fire. Erosion is caused by the action of the explosive gases at high temperature and pressure. The hot gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. The film expands and becomes set. Up- on the release of the pressure it con- tracts, which action causes minute cracks that grow larger with every discharge. AS they increase in size they form passageways for more hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further. The inner surface thus becomes roughencd and the bands be- gin to corrode.
 Finally the bore becomes so en- larEed that it allows the gases to es- cape. The shell does not then ac- quire it's proper rotation, and it's flight becomes cratic. All guns eX cept small ones are now constructed with Things in the tube, which, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced by new ones. The cost of re- lining a gun is approximately 30 per cent of the cost of the gun. There ap pears, however, to he no limit to the number of times that a gun can be re- lined

U. S. READY TO STRIKE
Presidents Message to Miners Warmed
of Drastic Action.

Washington, Oct. 27.-While await
ing the miners answer to the request
for withdrawal on the coal strike or
der, government officials today were
ready to act to protect public inter-
est in case the strike is called.
There are several openings thru
which the government may step into
the coal controversy.
The present contract, which is 20
run until the end .of the war. or until
April l, 1920, was made with the sane
tion of the fuel administration, gov
ernment agency. This was pointed
out specifically by President Wilson in
his warning to the miners Saturday as
indicating the government considered
the proposed strike unlawful.
The food control law also divestS
the government opportunity to take a
hand in the strike thru its provisions
making it illegal to interfere with pro-
duction and allowing the government
to take over mine to insure contin-
ued production.
Even without this law, officials here
point out the supreme courts broad
definition of war powers would give
the government plenty of latitude for
action. In passing on various war
laws. the supreme court declared that
the government had the power to do
almost anything in the interest of the
nations existence.
When the two sides of the coal con-
troversy finally got together to dis
cuss matters, it is expected that gov
~ernment officials will not allow nego-
tiations to drag. Miners in previously
refusing to call off their strike say
that proIonging negotiations was the
aim of the operators.
While preparing plans for new in
dustriaI conference, to take up the in
dustrial situation in its broad aspects.
officials here today believed that a re-
scinding of the coal strike would go a
long way toward quieting threats of
further trouble Immediately.
