SUGGESTS 12-MONTH
ARM|ST|CE BETWEEN
CAPITAL AND LABOR
lRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIre]

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1S.-A 12-month
armistice between capital and labor,
during which period present working
conditions would exist and an extern
sive campaign In behalf of thrift and
production to restore Industrial tran
guilty throughout the country, was
advocated by Allen Walker of the
Guaranty Trust company of New York,
speaking tonight at the convention Of
the American Mining congress.
A commission in each state, COM
posed of one representative of capital,
one of labor, one of state and two Of the
public, preferably educationalists with
power to standardiZe wages and ensu-
ing adjustments. and an identical ma
tional committee with authority to act
as the last court OF appeal, was sug-
gested by Mr.. Walker.
Such an armistice should be real, no
lockouts or strikes during that time,
both capital and labor pledging in ad-
vance to abide by the ruling of the ma
tional commission, declared Mr..
Walker.
He added:
THE ruling passion is extravaganza,
supplemented by a very common de-
termination to do as little as possible
for as much as it is possible to get by
fair or unfair means. A Boston hosiery
manufacturer informs me that when
the council of national defense issued
its proclamation concerning the need
for minimum spending and maximum
production he adopted the expedient OF
raising the price of silk and lowering
the price of cotton hose. He thought
this would help people of moderate
means. To his astonishment, during
the succeeding three months he sold 25
per cent more silk hose than before and
about 20 per cent less cotton

the three receivers appointed.
That, coupled with the refusal dur

future of the receivership plan by
which the state officials had hoped

Governor Allen said tonight that

TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The gov
ernment stepped to the front today to
force miners and operators to nego-
tiate new wage agreement and re-
sumo work in the bituminous fields be-
fore the country is in the grip of a
coal famine.
Clothed with all of his war time
powers as fuel administrator, and act
ing by direct authority Of the presi-
dents cabinet, Dr. II. A. Garfield
called a joint meeting of scale COM
mittees at which he was expected to
give formal notice that the time had
come to resume mining operations on
a normal scale.
While the joint conference was set
for this afternoon, DR.. Garfield found
that a full attendance could not be
obtained, so 1t went over until tomor-
row. Meanwhile, word was passed that
the strike situation had reached that
point where action was regarded by
federal authorities as absolutely i'm
perative.
There was no evidence, as presented
to the cabinet, that the scale commit
tee, called here last week to negotiate
a new wage agreement, had made the
least headway. Reports from the CEN
trail competitive fields showed all
mines shut down and not enough coal
coming from non-union plants In other
states to meet the normal denssnd.
In the view Of many officials the
situation was critical enough to de-
mand drastic action.
There was no intimation as to what
direction governmental action would
take.
