NEWTON THEORY ATTACKED
italian Scientist Says Law Of Crawl.
tation Is Erroneous

Rome, Oct. 27.-(By A. p)-New-
toms theory of gravitation has been
attacked by Prof. NIsiorana, who,
speaking before meeting of prominent
scientists here declared experiments he
had performed upset the hitherto ac-
cepted laws Of physics wovcrning the
motions of celestial bodies.
Newton's theory is only an approx
mate hypothesis, according to Prof.
Maiorana. who supports this assertion
by showing that a bah of lead float
ing in mercury becomes slightly lighter.
FROM this the professor deduces that
bodies have both true and an apparent
mass. the true mass of the sun being
double the apparent mass that the
stars attract other bodies with forces
entirely different from those thus fal
" 'mittrd to exist; that the solar heat
of stars is generated by the force OF
lruvItution CmHnatng from interior
strata. From this he argues the solar
system has had an immensely longer
life than has been believed by scientists
up until the present.
Evolution of the world, the professor
says has been closely linked to tn,
phenomenon which he has discovered.
Professor Maiorana explains that nj
stars are more or less luminous, ant
says his theory will bring about revo.
luton in astro physical science.

WILSON WEDNESDAY

Springfield. ILL.,. Oct. 27.-(By A.
P.)-John l.. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers of America
at his home here was not prepared when
seen today to define the attitude of
his organization toward the statement
made Saturday by President Wilson that
the strike of bituminous coal miners
set for November l, If carried out, would
not only be 'unjustitiablc but unlaw-
full"
Mr.. Lewis reiterated his statement
that the 60 per cent increase in wages
demanded by the miners is "subicct tc
negotiation, as are all demands of the
men," but added that the situation was
in status quo
He said he came home TO rest a day
before going to indianapolis, where n
meeting of the international executive
board of the United Mine Workers ot
America has been called for next Wed
nesday. At that meeting, called pri
marily to formulate details of the strike
Mr.. Lewis said reply to President
Wilson's statement regarding the pro
posed walkout, in all probability would
be made.

President Condemns Strike
The President, has not only declared
the proposed strike unlawful, but as
serted that it was morally wrong and
unjustifable He said that the public in =

recall Of the strike orders. His state
ment also said that the law will be en-
forced and means found to protect tht
interests of the nation.
Under th,- wartime provisions of the
Lever food and fuel control act. which
remains in effect until peace is pro
claimed formally, President Wilson is
, empowered to take over and operate
any or all coal mines in the United
States. If that plan is not deemed
feasible the law gives the President au
thority to acquire the output of tn,
mines by making the government thu
sole fuel purchasing and distributing
agency. The governments power ovei

and regulation of the price of coal. ever
