with Secretary of Labor Wilson as to
the method of applying the figures ac-
cepted by both.
No statement was forthcoming
after the meeting except an announce
ment by DR.. Garfield that the cabinet
would meet again tomorrow, and that
he would not see either the miners or
operators meanwhile. He declined to
say whether progress had been made,
but one member of the cabinet de-
clared prospects of an agreement
were mot hopeless"
Secretary, Wilson's estimate that
the cost of living had increased 70
per cent over 1914 was accepted, it
was understood, but difference of
opinion arose as to the application of
this and ether figures in computing
an increase in wages.
Secretary Glass said tonight that
he might have "some very interesting
figures" tomorrow, emphasizing that
they had been compiled for the public
and not for the cabinet. He declined
to say whether they were the income
tax returns received by the treasury
department on excess profits from the
coal industry.
Significance was attached to this
announcement, in view of the fact
that the amount of profit made by
the coal companies during the last
two years and the percentage Of in
crease in any possible wage advance
which the operators might be asked
to bear, have been the most bitterly
disputed points in the controversy.

embassy at Mexico City, officials were
not inclined to put much faith in re-
ports coming by way of Laredo, Tex,
that the release of Jenkins twas mo-
mentarily expected" There was no
word to the department from the
Mexican embassy here, and while no.
body seemed to know what the next
day might bring forth, officials said
that they would not be surprised to
hear that Jenkins actually had been
released.
Meanwhile the government has
checked up on the official and private
record of Jenkins and has given him
a high class rating. Officials de-
clared there was no foundation for the
charge that he had conspired with the
bandits, and that information from
every available source showed that
his statement of his capture, and the
methods employed by the bandits, was
correct in all details. The latest re-
ports from the American embassy
showed that Jenkins was still in the
penitentiary and i'll and that bail had
been refused him.
In looking into the various features
of the consular agents predicament
officials pointed out today that under
the Mexican constitution state courts
had no jurisdiction over cases involv-
ing diplomatic or consular officers,
such jurisdiction being lodged spe-
cifically in the federal court.

CABINET DEALS
WITH COAL STRIKE
Wage Increase For the Miners
Worries the Cabinet Officers
Mightily-Will Meet Again
Today.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Like the
miners and operators, whose troubles
it was trying to adjust, President
Wilson's cabinet tonight seemed hope
.lessly deadlocked on the question of a
wage increase in the bituminous coal
industry.
After six-hour session, the cabi-
net, which took up the wage scale
agreement where operators and min
ers left off last week, adjourned until
tomorrow, when another attempt,
with aid of Fuel Administrator Gar
field, will be made to agree upon a
pay scale that will satisfy the mine
workers and owners and the people in
all sections of the country, who are
clamoring for normal production of
coal.
The proper basis of calculating the
proposed wage advance, and the ratio
of dividing the consequent increase
in cost of production of coal between
the operators and the public, are un-
derstood to have been the points of
difference among the cabinet mem
bers. DIR. Garfield, who took lead
ing part in the discussions, took issue

HEDGE ON WET
OR DRY ISSUE
Labor Party of United States
Splits Over John Barleycorn
Name Committee to Inves-
tigate Dry Law.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-At the close of
heated debate lasting several hours,
the Labor Party of the United States
today refrained from taking posi-
tive stand on the prohibition question,
but as compromise measure adopted
resolution providing for the appoint
ment Of special committee to inves-
tigate the effect of the prohibition
constitutional amendment law and re-
port at the next national convention
of the party.
The delegates appeared to be about
evenly divided on the prohibition SUBJ
ject. Representatives of trades union
from cities wanted the convention to
go on record against the dry law,
while the party leaders and delegates
from the farmers and cooperative
organizations were anxious to have
the body make no declaration on the
question.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted a report stating that because
of the difference of opinion among the
delegates, it was deemed best to make
no direct declaration on prohibition,
but to ask congress to submit it to a
referendum vote of the people of the
country for decision.
Joseph Proebstle of Cincinnati, re-
presenting the international Brewery
Worokers, pleaded with the conven-
ton to adopt resolution condemning
prohibition.
"This is no Sunday school conven-
ton, it is a gathering of working
men," he said. 81 represent 10000
workingmen. The toilers want to
drink glass of beer when their days
work is over and they should be per-
mitted to do it, Are you too cowardly
to face this issue?
"John Barleycorn is dead and you
can't bring the dead to life,' shouted
delegate from Iowa.
Chairman Max Hayes of Cleveland
finally quieted the warning factions
by suggesting as substitute that a
committee of three be named to study
the effect of prohibition and report to
the next national convention, which
was adopted.
A number of wet delegates with
drew because they interpreted the
action taken as victory for the drys.
The convention approved the Plumb
plan of government ownership of rail-
roads and the cooperative movement
to reduce the high cost of living.
Delegate Nicholas Klein of Cincin-
natl, threw the convention into an
uproar by insisting that a resolution
be adopted calling for the government
to recognize the soviet government of
Russia Delegates from Iowa, Kan
sas and the western states vigorously
opposed the resolution.
Chairman Hayes finally restored
order by declaring the resolution out
of order.
Resolutions calling for the estab-
lishment ia soviet government in
the United States and advocating the
adjustment of the United States SUI
preme court were voted down.
