IN CONFERENCE
NNEW ORLEANS
Over Hundred Cases to Be
Heard Before Adjustment
Commission-Strike Situation
Remains Unchanged.

New Orleans. Oct. 2s. - While the
Iongshoremen's strike situation re-
manned unchanged today and the
chances of the workers submitting
their demands to the national adjust
ment commission, appeared very
doubtful. representatives from the var
ious interests in the other gulf ports
were arriving in considerable numbers
and indications were that the confer
ence would continue for several days.
1t was stated there were more than
a hundred cases scheduled for adjust
ment The commission is headed by
Commissioner Bruiere.
Virtually all other labor organiza-
tions of dock workers at ports along
tho gulf coast have demanded increase
in wages and having failed to come to
an understanding with their employers
have agreed to permit the adjustment
commission to decide on the merits of
their cases. At New Orleans, howey-
err, the longshoremen have steadfast-
ly refused to submit their demands to
the commission or return to work un-
der any other consideration than that
their wage demands be met
Steamship interests and information
al officers of the Longshoremen's as
sociation now in New Orleans were
hopeful today, however, that with the
commission sitting here the longshore-
men would allow their claims to take
the same course as those of dock
workers of the rest of the gulf ports.
The principal concern over the strike
here now is that there are large guam
titles of sugar in port now which can
not be handled because of the refus-
al Of the men to handle it

Heads of Miners Meet in Con-
ference Today--Lewis Declines
. To Comment.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-How to deal
with the soft coal strike in event of
the miners ignoring President Will
sons command to stay on the job,
and walk out Friday night. was defi-
nitely agreed on today at a two-hour
meeting of the cabinet.
The plan was not disclosed, but 1t
was known the cabinet stood as one
man for protection of the rights of
the public, which would suffer with
the closing of the mines.
Belief grew here that the miners
executive board meeting at Indianapo-
lis tomorrow will at least postpone the
strike, and hope is expressed in some
quarters that the strike will be called
off by the man who called it.
Announcement that John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
4 America had summoned members
q the full scale committee to meet
the International executive board at
Indianapolis tomorrow was accepted
as an Indication that President Wilson's
command to the miners organization
not to plunge the country into indus
trial chaos might be needed.
In full belief that officers Of the in
Irrational body who ordered the
strike have power to stop it, govern
ment officials awaited the next step
which must come from the miners.
Confidential reports from the central
coal field territory indicated, 1t was
said, not all the mining army of more
than half a million men would quit
work.
Meanwhile the railroad administra-
ton continued it's efforts to expedite
movement of coal from the mines by
ordering all coal not unloaded by own
ers within twenty four hours to be
Jumped on the ground so as to release
ars for their immediate return to the

She was told at the home of Mrs.

word was passed to all the hounds
to meet there. They gathered and
awaited the arrival Of the hares and
dinner. 1t was then noon.
But the hares had an intelligence

discovered the disclosure of their plan
to the hounds. The hares with hampers
