PRESIDENTS APPEAL FOR SETTLEMENT
Iowa Miners State Their Position Has Been
Misunderstood on Threatened Strike
by Public.

United Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Belief
that the government will take what
ever steps are necessary to keep the
country's soft coal supply normal
prevailed here today following the
failure of President Wilson's appeal
to halt the miners strike. called for
November l.
The president in his appeal to the
miners and operators made plain as
had Secretary of Labor Wilson that
the interests of the public will be
placed above those of either the
miners and operators who broke off
negotiations a few hours after the
presidents appeal was read to them.
+ The plan of having soldiers run
the mines also has been suggested,
but 1t is pointed out that few soldiers
are skilled miners. To meet the
problem, officials say, the men who
are now working the mines must be
kept there.
The negotiations between miners
and operators, which began last
Tuesday, ended last night after Sec.
retary Wilson, having exhausted his
own resources to conciliate the two
sides, called upon President Wilson
who sent an appeal from his sick
bed.
Presidents Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-President
Wilson appealed to the miners and
operators to go into conference with
out reservation for the purpose Of ne
gotiating an agreement to avert the
strike threatened for Nov. /.
If this fails, he said, the interests OF
the public are of such vital Importance
that the matters in dispute should be
referred to board Of arbitration and
in the meantime the mines should be
operated.
The presidents message was con-
veyed by Secretary Tumulty to Sec
retary Of Labor Wilson.
Tumulty's letter to Wilson follows:
"The president desires me to say
that he has been watching with the
deepest interest your efforts to bring
about an adjustment Of the pending
strike in the bituminous fields of the
country and was glad to have your re-
port on the status of the negotiations
now being carried on under your di.
rection.
'FHe requested me to convey the
following message to you:
"T have been watching with deep
and sincere interest your efforts to
bring about just settlement of the
differences between the operators and
coal miners in the bituminous coal
fields Of the country. It Is to be hop
ed that the good judgment that has
been exercised by both operators and
miners in years gone by in the adjust
ment of their differences will again
prevail in the present crisis.
"'All organized society is depend.
ent on the maintenance Of its fuel
supply for the continuance of its ex-
istence.

with success to other classes of work
ers to postpone similar questions un-

til a reasonable adjustment could be
arrived at. With the parties to this
controversy rests the responsibility of
seeing the fuel supply of this country
| is maintained. 1t is the time when
the whole world is in need of more
supplies, it would be cruel neglect
to our duty to humanity to fail them.
"I have read with interest the
suggestion made by you that the wage
committees Of operators and of min
ers go into conference without reser-
walton for the purpose of negotiating
settlement as though no demands
had been made or rejected having due
regard to the interests Of their re.
Ispective groups, am in accord with
1 that suggestion.
"'No body of men knows better the
| details, 1ntrfcacfes and techhicalities
than do the miners and operators. No
E;body of men can work out the details
OF wage scale on more equitable
basis. Their Judgment would I'M
doubtedIy be based on sole total
knowledge of the industry. Whatever
their differences may be, no matter
how widely divergent their viewpoints
may be from each other 1t is a duty
that they owe to society to make an
earnest effort to negotiate those diff
ferences and to keep the mines of our
country in operation,
"'After all the public interest in
this vital matter is the paramount
consideration of the government and
admits of no other action than that OF
consideration of a peaceful settlement
of the matter as suggesed by you.
eff for any reason the miners ana
operators fail to come to a mutual
understanding, the interests Of the
public are Of such vital Importance In
connection with the production Of coal
that 1t is incumbent upon them to re-
fer the matters in dispute to board
cf arbitration for determination and
to continue the mines pending the de-
cision of the board.
Position Misunderstood.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 25.-De-
claring the position of the Iowa
miners in regard to the threatened
strike had been misunderstood by
the public, j. C. Lewis, president Of
mine district thirteen, today issHed
a statement outlining the miners
stand. Lewis declared the Iowa
miners were in full accord with the
action taken by the recent interna-
tional convention in Cleveland and
edorsed the demands agreed on at
that meeting.
Lewis took exception to the claim
of George Wrightman, secretary or
the Iowa Manufacturers' association,
that coal prices would be trebled IL
the miners demands are granted, and
offered to meet Wrigntman in pub
lie debate on this issue.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use makeshift, but is always adj
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
8 cents a shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist and
dissolving a teaspoonful in cup
of hot water This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead of just the top OF the
head, as with most preparations,
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than 1t is. It's luster and softness
will also delight you.-AdR
