would take considerable time to ex-
plain just all that was in our minds
in making up the list, but it is suffi-
cient to say that we gave considera-
ton to:
First: EIen who we thought would
be willing to give the necessary
time and interest to take care of
the interests Of this body.
Second: Men, some OF whom at
least, have not been heretofore
particularly active, to the end
that some new blood, so to speak,
might be injected into the organi-
cation.
Third: Men who represent differ
ent lines of business, so that all
of our industries may have repre-
sentation in the management of
the affairs Of the board of trade.
Fourth: Men some of whom are
newcomers here and who, uninf1u
enced by old traditions and with
unbiased minds, might look at va
rious matters from new and diff
ferent viewpoint, but which view
point might be productive of
great good to this community.
1t would appear that it has been
your custom to have your officers also
hold Office of governor, so that your

was long way from Kotlass, when a
bolshevik land battery, masked in the
woods on the river bank, dropped a
big shell into the monitor, putting it
out of commission and sending it back
to Beresniki."
1t was in this episode of the monitor
that young British naval surgeon
performed one of the feats of bravery
and self-denial that are continually
taking place in this war. With one
eye shot out and with blood nearly
binding the other, this young surgeon
calmly and successfully attended to
monitors wounded until he fell eX-
hausted.
On the river our forces had reached
Beresniki, on the railroad little COM
mand of French had battled it's way
nearly a hundred miles o Oboser-
slaya, and, in the sunny tundra be-
tween the railroad and the river an
other party, including some of the
American sailors, was lost in the mud,
when reinforcements, in the shape Of
three transports loaded with Ameri-
can infantrymen and engineers steam
ed into Archangel harbor.

Miners To Decide On Last Word
Discussion and Final Action on Pleas of President
 Wilson.
REITERATE THEY
 WOULD NEGOTIATE

Indianapolis, Oct. Executives of the United Mine Workers of America met here today to take final action on President Wilson's appeal that the nationwide strike of bitu- minous coal miners, ordered for November l, be called off.
 With but 60 hours left before the time for stoppage of production of the nations fuel supply, the meeting is the most weighty one which has yet been held in connection with the miners demands for a six hour day, five day week and 50 per cent in- crease in wages. Out of it will come the final word of the miners on the situation.
 Representatives of coal miners in all parts of the country were here today, for while it originally was planned to hold only one meeting of the exec utiVe board of the organization at this time, in view of the demand of Pres ldent Wilson last Saturday that the strike order be rescinded. Acting President John L. Lewis broadened the scope of the conference As a consequence 25 district presidents of , the nire workers, the full scale com nlittee composed of 9 members. and the board of executives comprising a
 
 districts, are in attendance. All o" those present, it was stated. will have a vote.
 Right up to the hour of the confer ence this morning, miners officials re- iterated that they were willing to ne gotiate with the operators, but said i that theI alter had shown no inclina- i tiOn to discuss the demands. Possibility of government operation i of the mines has been advanced by some of the delegates who apparently ] were receptive to the idea. On the i other hand high officials of the or ganization secuted the idea of gov . ernment control, adding that they could not see what power could be ! eXerted to make men work when they ! did not want to work.
 The meeting of the miners was not called to order and the doors closed until II o'clock. Only about three-fourths of the number expect. ed were present then.

CALLS SHOWDOWN ON EXPENDITURES
 OF NEW CONGRESS

Washington, D. C., Oct. 2S.-Cal for show down on the inactivity of Congress during the five month period since May has been made in the House by Representative Asweu of Louisiana. In the form of nine reso- luuons asking for information on the expenditures of the so-caued inves- tigating committees Congressman As well has challenged the Republican Congress to make a statement on what has been accomplished.
 In @ statement read in connection with the offering of the resolutions the Republicans are accused of hay ing fallen down on their own legisla- tive program offered at the beginning , Of he present extra session, which i they were anxious to have called and during which period they have done l absolutely nothing by way of con- | strUct.ve legislation.

This money. Consrcssman AsweU reminds, comes out of the public pocket and the public has a right to know how much money is being squandered and whether it is being spent with a l purpose of finding out something not already known or is being used pure 1y as a Republican campaign fund 1 to air so7CaIled scandal.
