the controversy over a new wage a.
grcement in the bituminous coal indus
try yesterday awaited action by Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet.
Fuel administrators Garfield. speak
ing TO the joint wage scale committees
of operators and miners. announced
five principles which have governed"
him and his associates, but different
interpretations were placed upon its
various provisions by the workers and
the mine owners in informal discussion
after the meeting.
DIR. Garfield called the miners and
operators together after a conference
with Attorney General Palmer, Direc-
tor General Hines and Assistant At
torney General Ames.
At the meeting Of the cabinet tomor-
row definite decision of policy re-
garding all phases of the strike sit
uation Is expected, and II the cabinet
Is In disagreement, the whole question
may be put before the president.
Owing to the disagreement which
had arisen as to the amount Of the in
crease i'm the cost of living, and con-
sequently the percentage Of wage ad-
vance needed 10 meet higher living
costs, great significance was attached
to DR.. Garfield's declaration that "the
average total increase in pay over the
1913 base, which was the base consid-
cred in 1917. should not exceed the
present increase In the cost of living
over the same base"
1T Is also 10 be considered that the
cost OF living will fall rather than rise
during the next few years." he added.
Operators construed this agreement
as In conflict with the contention of
Secretary Wilson that miners should
he given a 81 per cent wage advance
TO equalize the margin between present
wages and 40 per cent rise in living
costs since 1914.
WtshingtOn-There was no word
yesterday from the Mexican govern

the state department demanding the
immediate release of William G. Jen-
kins, American consular agent at
Puebla.
All day officials waited for a note
they thought might be handed them by
the Mexican embassy here. In view OF
the reports Sunday that long dis
patch relating to the Jenkins case had
reached the embassy from Mexico
City.
But there was no reply, and not even
an intimation that the Mexican gov

far as the state department was able
to learn. Jenkins still was sick and MI

Generally speaking the financial
community placed q constructive in

in the reading Of the document to give
rise to any bullish demonstration, such
as might have been expected. After
the publication of the message the
market sagged off again until we'll into

clearly defined and left much to be

There were few interesting move
ments in the industrial group, with En-
dicott-J Johnson making itself prominent
by jump Of about 10 points on rumors
of large special dividend distribution

German Buying insignificant

Reports Of large purchases Of copper
metal in this market for German ac-
count are not credited. Some sales
have been made, but the total tonnage
IN the aggregate has been insignificant.
For Germany to buy copper here, ex-
ceptlng through special credit arrange
ments.. would be almost prohibtive
from the German point OF view, as the
appreciation IN the exchange value of
the mark would make the cost of the
metal to Germany in excess of s. a

RED CROSS ENTERTAINMENT

A very interesting program was
given at the high school last Friday
afternoon for the benefit of the Junior
Red Cross. Each member of this Or
ganization is charged 25 cents for
membership fees each year, and taking
into consideration the fact that the
children are called upon for various
other war donations, it was though best
to give an entertainment and tax the
pupils an admittance fee.
A large number of the townspeople
attended the enterta !nment which was
made up of musical selections, read
ings and dances. The Junior high
school sold home made candy which
brought them the neat sum of $50. If
any money remains after the member
ship fees for the senior and junior high
school are paid it will go to lessen the
amount required for the lower grades
