Mines Out On Second
Strike

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The ma
tional coal situation has reached a cri-
sis in the view of officials here and
drastic steps to curtail consumption are
in contemplation 1t was said today
that among other steps an order pro-
hibiting the manufacture Of coke has
been prepared.
Another effort to agree on a basis for
computing wage advances to bitumin-
Gus coal miners was made by President
Wilson's cabinet while the operators
and miners marked time in their nego-
tiations for new wage scale.
The controversy in the cabinet cen
tered around the proposals of fuel ad-
ministrator Garfield that in comput-
ing wage increases the advances made
to all miners in the central competitive
field be taken into consideration and
of Secretary Wilson that the increase
to pick miners be the basis
A definite and final statement on be-
half of the government III the coal wage
controversy will be made TO the OPP
orators and miners late today by Fuel
Administrator Garfield. Final decision
was reached by the cabinet at the
meeting today DIR. Garfield and See
retary Wilson said The fuel admins
traitor called joint session of the OPP
orators and miners at 5 p. m. to receive
the decision.
While neither DR.. Garfield nor mem
bers of the cabinet would say what tht
cabinet S decision was it was reported
that fuel administrator had won hi,
point for an increase of 30 to % PEE
cent in miners wages as against 81 pc
cent proposed by Secretary Wilson an,
agreed to by the miners. DR.. Garfield !
statement to the miners and OPERATOR
was expected to be somewhat in the ma
ture of an ultimatum. The 30 to ..
per cent increase was understood to b
acceptable to the operators, but grav
doubt was expressed as to whether tn
miners would approve it.
After the cabinet meeting there wa
a somewhat general impression that tn
operators would be called upon to bea
practically all of the proposed wage ii
crease, but officials withheld commen
Thus far the position of the mine unio
officials had been that they could nc
| accept anything less than the origin;
: demands for so per cent increase i
wages and 80 hour week without I'll
. approval of the Cleveland conventioi
Should they hold to this view DR.. Ga
r field said it might be that several weel

was reached.

AMERICANS ARE

Will Have Little Voice In Peace Con-
ference After December 5-Will
Not Wait for Ratification.

PARIS, Nov 26-Any delay which may
eventually be found necessary in the ex-
change of ratifcations required to put
the German peace treaty into effect will
not change the plans of the American
peace delegation, it was announced today.
Under Secretary OF State Polk and the
other delegates will leave Paris on the
evening of Dec. 5 and will sail from Brest
on Dec. g. Only couple of experts will
be left here for the purpose of completing
the work in hand.
The subsequent participation by Ameri
cans in the work of the peace conference
according to the view here, will probably
be extremely limited unless there are indi
cations early in the December session o.
the senate that a satisfactory ratification
of the treaty is in sight.
