Boston, Mass, Sept. 12-Frank

of the American Federation of La
Dor announced tonight that the po-
Hcemen's union had accepted the
suggestion of Samuel Gompers that
they return to work and await the

at the White House on Oct. 9Th.
When Police Commissioner Cur
tbs was informed of the action OF
the union, he said, that he had iss-
ued orders this afternoon that no
strikers applying for reinstatement
should be taken back. He saiF sat
he could not change this order Je-
fore hearing from the Attorney Gen.
eral. The Commissioner refused to
amplify this statement, which was
interpreted to mean that the Attor-

, eide whether the policemen were
employees who had a right to
strike or atofficers'' of the govern
ment who had no such right.

THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT

Rome, August 20.-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press j
The Italian government is trying
to obtain coal from Southern Rus
sia so as to stave off the menace
of winter without source of heat
Two commercial commissions have
been sent the vast basin of the DON
etz in Southern Russia where Ital-
ian experts estimates there were
untouched coal lands that would
yield 7,OO0,OOO,O0O of tons. The
experts also say there are 174,,-
OO0,OOO,OO0 of tons of coal in Sib-
eria or in parts of European Russia
outside of the .Donetz Basin.
1t is calculated that if the coal
supply of Southern Russia were
properly exploited the territory
would furnish all the coal necessary
for the Mediterranean countries ;.
Coal for italy is now quoted al
$3.50 at Norfolk, Va, but it costs
$50 ton to bring it to Genoa.

SENSIBLE TALK
TO WORK|NGMEN
Barrett Tells Them That Law
lessness Operates Against
The Union.
lGOV. BECKETT ARRIVES.

High Point, Sept. 13.-Governor
Thomas w. Beckett who arrived
here last night for a series of con-
ferences with labor leaders and man
ufacturers following the lock out of
their employees was in conference
with the manufacturers this after
noon following one with the work
men and their representatives this
morning. No statement has been
made by either side but it is believed
that one will be given out late this
evening.
The lockout is the result of the
refusal of the employers to recognize
the union and their affiliated organ
izations, and their decision to close
their plants rather than do SO.
The conference was the result of
the suggestion of James F. Barrett,
the labor leader from Asheville. 1t
IS estimated as many as 1000 men
are idle on account of the lockout.
High Point, Sept. 12.-Governor
T. w. Beckett arrived in this city to-
night at 1O:3O o'clock and will take
up the strike situation tomorrow
'morning. He will first confer with
committee representing labor and
will then meet a delegation from
the manufacturers, after which "the
jury will retire.
The Governor was due to hold
conferences here tonight, buf-a de
