Only Drastic Action Can
PreUent the Coal Strike
Government Will Not Take Up Matter of Naturalization
Unless Absolutely Necessary-Final Payments Made
To Admission Camp Mcclellan Purchase
Bx HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, october -(SpeciaL)
The apparent intention of coal opera
tors and officials Of the miners union
to continue their disagreement has re-
vised the report in Washington that as
= final resort, the government acting
on its war authority, will nationalize
the mines Of the country.
High officials affirmed today that
the government would not go to such
extent unless it was absolutely nee
essary. 1t was the positive belief of
these gentlemen however that the gov
eminent would not permit the strike
Naturalization. it is openly asserted
here would be opposed as strenuously
in the present emergency by unionists
as by operators. For the government
has let it be known that because of
the continuance of a state of war it
holds the miners in violation of their
agreement to work under existing
scales Sand conditions until peace is ra-
titled.
John Lewis, president of the miners
union, told newspaper correspondents
Just before he went into conference
that there would be no agreement un-
less all demands of the miners includ-
ing the day week were granted.
Thomas Brewster, chairman of the
operators committee a minute later
declared that no peace talk would be
INDUCED in until the miners had with
drawn their strike order.
The idea obtains that it will require
drastic action or pressure on the part
OF the government to obviate the i'm
pending catastrophe.

Two regular "jazzy'' amusement fea-
lures of Old Washington. when the
town was wide open, between thirty
five and forty-fve years ago, were re-
called to me the 6her day by a news
paper companion of the long ago.
They were the annual French ball and
the Schutzenfest.
The Schutzenfests were held every
autumn in the Schutzen Park. on the
Old Seventh street turnpike. near the
Soldiers Home. They were conducted
by the German element of the District
and were respectable and enjoyable
affairs.
These rests were inaugurated soon
after the ending of the civil war.
There was a large clubhouse on the
grounds which was provided with an
! ample ballroom. Entrance was through
a great gate on the Seventh street
road side of the park.
In the large inclosure were numer-
Gus booths which were occupied by
| German American merchants and sa-
loonkeepers much like the present-day
food shows. Samples of sausages, bak-
cry products. beer, etc, were given
gratis to visitors. Lager beer and
other drinks were dispensed from long
, bars, and there were open-air dining
places for the hungry.
The amusement features were all
free to the patrons of the park. and
were varied in character. There was
tight-rope stunts, acrobatics, gymnas-
tic acts, side shows and vivid dis
play of fireworks each night Brass
bands and orchestras galore were sta
! toned about the park, and as the late
Prof. Donch once expressed it:
| where"
The tests continued sometimes two
weeks, and nearly everybody in WASH
ington attended them. The opening
night was the gala occasion Follow
ing an artillery salute by Hahnne-
| mann's battery. there was gorgeous
display of pyrotechnics and a prize
| ball and barbecue. at which whole
OK was roasted over great bonfire
and the cooked meat prepared in
sanwich form and handed out gratis
to the visitors.
The grounds were brilliantly illumi-
