Move to Prevent
Strike Of Miners

Washington.-Immediate steps 10
avert the threatened nationwide strike
Of bituminous coal mine workers are
to be taken by the federal government.
After President Wilson's cabinet had
discussed the situation at length On
Tuesday, Secretary Wilson Of the de-
partment of labor announced that he
would invite John L. Lewis, president
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, and John L. Brewster, represent
ing the operators, to confer with him
here.
While efforts of the miners and op-
orators to reach an agreement ON the
demands Of the workers, which in
clude increased pay and shorter hours,
have failed Secretary Wilson is hope
full that some amicable adjustment Of
the controversy can be made. 1t is
understood that he will impress upon
both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Brewster the
Importance of uninterrupted operation
of the mines upon the life of the ma
ton.
The possible effect of such a strike
on the railroads is understood to be
uppermost In the minds Of government
officials. A shutdown of the mines
would result in g paralysis Of the
transportation system within short
time, with consequent suffering over
the country because of the shutting off
of populous centers from food supplies.
Industry also would be brought to
standstill, with public utilities stopped
and shipping tied up. -.,S

English, Common Tongue

Chinese women students in the Tung
Flu College, Peking, China, are obliged
to learn English in order, to talk with
one, another because Of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces Of China, who attend the
school, must remain In Peking during
all of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cost more than
trip to America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak different language
and they. cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue
