sending of a message to Samuel Com

OF the meeting to be the perfecung of an
offensive and defensive alliance OF the
international unions of the United States
and Canada and the railway brother
hoods more effectively to fight out the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The Mexican
House of Deputies has voted general APP
proval OF a proposal to withdraw ex-
traordinary powers granted to President
Carranza two years ago under which he
decreed many laws. according to ad-
vices to-day from Mexico City, but
when efforts were made to confirm the
action in detail as Mexican procedure
requires. the Government minority left

and lack of a quorum prevented final
action.
The extraordinary powers gave Pres

to protests from the United Sthtee

WILSON HAS NEW
COALPARLEYPLAN
Secretary Calls on Miners and
Operators to Confer
To-day.
LABOR LEADERS ACCEPT
Other Offers of Arbitration
Are Refused by One or the
~ Other Faction
SpecieI DespotcA 20 THn SUE.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Thoush every
proposal 80 far advanced for settlement
Of the coal strike called for November
] has been rejected, negotiations with
Secretary of Labor Wilson are to be
continued. The Secretary Is hopeful Of
some form of settlement that will pro-
vent the strike.
After an all day struggle, in which
three propositions from the Secretary for
settlement were rejected, Mr.. Wilson
asked that representatives of the opera
tors and of the miners meet him at 80
tomorrow morning and go into confer
ence without any reservations Of any
character whatever and having in mind
the interests of their respective groups.
This appeal was accepted by the
miners representatives and the opera
tors stated that they would accept It IL
the strike order is rescinded. Earlier in
the day John l.. Lewis reiterated that
the strike order would not be rescinded.
The operators and the miners are to
caucus separately before the conference
hour.
The Secretary's proposal was designed
to start brand new negotiations, to have
both groups put behind them all that
has been done and to begin open nego-
tiations for a settlement to their mutual
advantage. To obtain such negotia lions,
however. either the operators must 10
in with the strike order standing or the
miners will have to withdraw the order.
Secretary Is Hopeful.
Secretary Wilson Is not particularly
optimistic, but believes much may be
gained from continuance Of the negotia-
tons. Tomorrow probably will bring a
decision. The Secretary said tonight:
The situation lie somewhat improved.
II can get the two parties together
without suspicion on the part OF either
as to the others motives feel that the
success OF their negotiations In previous
years will assure settlement at this
time
THE miners rejected, and the opera :
tors neither rejected nor accepted my
first proposal for settlement Of their
troubles. They now have before them
for consideration a proposition submitted
by me that they go into conference with
| each other without reservation; as IL nc
| demands had been made or refused
| having In mind the interests Of their re.
| spective groups. The miners are willing
to do that. and the operators are will.
