ANGELES WILL GET HEARING
 IN FOUR DAYS
Villas Right Hand Man Ex- presses Confidence That He Will Be Given a
 Fair Hearing.

JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov. 24.-Reiter- ating his enmity to President Venus tiano Carranzo, but expressing con fidence that justice would be meted but to him, General Angeles, the Villa leader who was captured re- gently near Parral, Chihuahua, was brought to trial before a court mar tial at Chihuahua City today The hearing will last at least three or four days, it was said.
 Three thousand tickets to the trial have been issued by General Manuel M. Dieguez, commander of military operations in northern Mexico, ac- cording to report brought here to- night by a newspaper man of Chi huaua City.
 On his arrival at the state capital, General Angeles found awaiting him telegram from Mrs. Angeles, who, with her children, is in New York City.
 Whatever may happen to me- the rebel leader is quoted as saying, T do not have to worry about my family, because Mrs. Angeles and the children are provided for"
 In a telegram to General Dieguez, Mrs. Angeles asked that her hus- band be given every necessary at tention ESQ that he will not suffer-"
 Angeles presented as strange an appearance as could be imagined after his capture" the Chihuahua newspaper man, who interviewed the rebel chieftain in a box car on the way to Chihuahua City, last week, said tonight.
 He had two books, "The Life of ---apoleon," and "The Life of Jesus Christ" which he had been reading on the train.
 The only other thing he carried was a red blanket His face was covered with long, gray whiskers.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 24.--Six al leged members of the Industrial Workers of the World were lodged in the city jail here tonight follow ing a small riot and raid on local headquarters of the organization at 1731 Market street.
 In their raid on the l. w. w. hall the police seized a quantity of radi- cal literature, including several hun dred copies of The Blood Clot'" pamphlet advocating direct action and literally smeared with red ink.

Public Will Not Stand For a Raise in Price of Coal, Fuel Director Garfield Tells
 Coal Men.
1917 Living Cost To
 Be Taken As Basis
Indicates That Any Increase In Wages Must be Borne By Operators, Public,
 Or Both of Them.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Settle- ment of the controversy over new wage agreement in the bituminous coal industry tonight awaited action by President Wilson's cabinet.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield, speak ing to the joint wage scale commit tees of operators and miners, an nounced five principles which have governed" him and his associates, but different interpretations were placed upon it's various prSvi5ions Dy the workers and the mine owners ir informal discussions after the meet ing.
 Dr Garfield called the miners and operators together after conference with Attorney General Palmer, DiTec- tor General Hines and Assistant At torney General Ames.
 At the meeting of the cabinet to- morrow definite decision of policy regarding all phases of the strike sit uation is expected. and if the cabinet is in disagreement the whole question may be put before the president.
 OvinS to the eisagreernentsyhtch had arisen as to the amount of the in crease cost of living, and consequently the percent of wage advance needed 10 meet higher living cost, great slg- nificance was attached to Dr. Gar fields declaration that 'the average total increase in pay over the 1913 base. which was the base considered in 1917. should not exceed the present increase in the cost of living over the same base"
 Tt is also to De considered that the cost of living will fall rather than rise during the next few years" he added.
 Operators construed this statement as in conflict with the contention or Secretary Wilson that miners should be given 31 per cent wape advance to euualize the margin between the present wages and 79 per cent rise in living costs since 1914.
 Pointing out that war time coal prices Wer efixed for the purpose or stimulating production, Dr. Garfield declared that the public would not now pay the increase over nor nal profits allowed during the war. His further statement that any wage increase should "be borne by the operators or the public or both" was generally taken to mean that part oi the advance must. come out of the excess profits of the mining compa' nies.
