prince of Wales as the guest of the
nation and President Wilson's leav-
ing his bed for the first time since
illness forced him to abandon his
speaking tour last montll-marked
the celebration OF Armistice day in

relief in official circles over the de-
cision of the soft coal miners to re-
scind the strike order was another
high point in the day set apart for
commemorating the ending of hos
til:ties in the war.
Rain fell almost continuously,
forcing many of the arranged events
of celebration to be held inside. The
rain, however, could not dampen the
ardor of those participating in the
ceremonies connected with the
planting of two memorial California
redwood trees in Lafayette square,
opposite the White House. '
At the anniversary hour, | a. M,
the rattle of musketry from the army
firing platoon formally announced
that the trees were in place, banked
by earth brought from many states
and with memory documents to be
sheltered for years to come beneath
their roots,
Tonight a chorus of community
singers gathered on the steps of the
treasury across from the White
House to serenade Mr.. WILSON.
The president had planned some
days in advance to leave his sick
bed today as in some measure his
own commemoration of the signih-
c1nce of Armistice day, and reposing
in wheel chair. was able to hear a
part of the program arranged by the
singers in his honor.

Coal Miners Accept Invitation
Of Secretary Wilson to Meet
And Arrange Basis Of Set
thing Wage Problem.
WORKERS DISAGREE ON
ORDER TO RESUME WORK
Martial Law Declared in
North Dakota and Governor
Orders State Troops to
Seize Ignite Mines.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. ll.-Gov.
L. J. Frazier announced that he
had proclaimed martial law in
North Dakota and that the state
would take over the Ignite coal
mines at once, following failure of
miners and operators to come to
an agreement last night as re-
quested by the governor.
Governor Frazier ordered the
adjutant general to assume charge
of the situation at once.
Washington, Nov. ll.-Having
forced the miners to call off the
coal strike the government set out
today to help them negotiate new
wage agreement.
On the heels of the announce
ment that Federal Judge Anderson
at indianapolis had approved the
order promulgated by the United
Mine Workers of America rescind-
ing the strike notice, Secretary Will
son invited representative of the
miners and operators from all the
fields involved in the walkout to
meet here Friday "for the purpose
of negotiating a basis of settle
ment.'
The miners accepted. When Mr..
Wilson went home tonight he had
received no formal reply from the
operators, but was unofficially ad-
vised that they would comply with
his request. The secretary was as
sured by operators and miners that
they would endeavor faithfully 70
frame pay scale that would send
the 425,000 strikers back to work
faithfully and at cnce.
Wilson Steps to Front.
The secretary of labor, again step
ping to the front as mediator, will
take up his work exactly as it was
laid aside two, weeks ago, except
that no strike threat will hang over
the, conference. Instead of there be-
ing present in the conference repre-
sentatives of miners and operators
only from the central competitive
fields, embracing the states of In
diana, Illinois, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, the conference will in
clude miners from all fields involved
in the strike, stretching over more
than 20 states. Mr.. Wilson's action
in broadening the scope of the wage
negotiations was surprise to the
operators, but the larger plan of
representation was adopted because
Of the desire of men from other
fields to have a voice in the delibera-
tons.
The final breaking up of the
strike, with announcement by the
miners officials that they would
heed the blunt command of the fed
eral court, brought sigh of relief
from official Washington and ex-
pressions of surprise from labor
leaders, who frankly had not ex-
pccted it.
