proximately $4,000 coal miners in

Paris. Monday. Oct. 13.-CBy the

joicing by the press over the death
of "Anastasie." as the censor has
been called in France during the
war, marked the first day OF the
return of peace to France today.

vision Of ports. restrictions on i'm
poTtations and other matters. which
have been in the hands of army
officers, passed to civil authorities.
The right of requisition is now
countermanded and the military
authorities also lost jurisdiction
over several crimes and misdemean-
ors, no longer having the right to
search private property.
Lifting the state of siege. restor-
ing municipal regulations to the

there seems to be some doubt
whether this practice would be
profitable.

ers and Teamsters Out

New York, Oct. 14-With at
least 100000 workers either on
strike or idle as the result of
strikes, according to union estimates,
New York today viewed with in
creasing concern the prospect Of a
serious food shortage rendered i'm
minent by the refusal last night of
the longshoremen to return to work
and the continuance of the team
sters' strike.
The only ray Of hope was the an
nouncement by T. V. O'Connor OF
the International Longshoremen's s
association, that various locals
would now take a referendum vote
on the question Of returning TO
work. O'Connor, who was hooted
down when he attempted to speak
at last nights turbulent meetings.
said today:
II still have hopes that the seri-
ous-thinking men in the organiza-
ton will see that a mistake has
been made in trying to repudiate
their word given to the government
and to the people, and that they will
abide by the decision of the na-
tional adjustment commission"
Embargo Put On.
The walkout Of the 1900 team

perishabIe food are shipped here

longshoremen. harbor and ferry
workers has caused food to rot on

LESS RESTFUL
NIGHT PASSED
BY PRESIDENT
Swelling of Prosrate
Gland Uncomfortable
But Not Serious.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson's condition was
generally good today, although
he did not have d restful night,
according TO the bulletin issued
by his physicians this morning.
The bulletin issued at 1915 D. m
follows:
THE president did not have a
restful night last night. His rest
1essness was caused by a swelling
of the PROSTATE gland, condition
from which he has suffered in the
past and which has been intensified
more or less by his lying in bed,
His general condition, however, is
good. AS noted yesterday his tenn
perature, pulse, respiration, heart
action and blood pressure are nor
NAL.
(Signed) "GRAYSON.
"RUFFIN.
"STITT."
OF No Consequence.
Rear Admiral Grayson said the
swelling Of the PROSTATE gland was
quite common and no Importance
should be attached to 1t. 1t is ex-
pected that DR.. Grayson, will, how
ever, call in a specialist in order
that the president may be made
more comfortable.
The daily improvement IN Presi-
dent Wilson's condition, while not
fully reflected in the daily White
house bulletins is quite encourag-
ing in the opinion of his physi-
clans.
Shows Gradual Improvement.
This view of the situation was
expressed last night by Rear Ad-
mira1 Grayson, the presidents per-
sonal physician, in giving out the
regular night bulletin, which said
that Mr.. wilson's condition was
about the same" Dr.. Grayson in
an oral statement. accompanying
the formal announcement intimat-
ed that the change for the better
was very apparent to the patients
physicians, yet to the av-
erage man the brief White house
seemingly indicated
neither an improvement nor a
change for the worse.
The cabinet was to meet at the
White house as usual.

this afternoon after Thomas L.

sentative, had proposed a plan
to settle all Industrial disputes

ton Of organized labor de-
manding arbitration of the na-

strike be arbitrated was reported
to the national industrial confer
ence today by the steering COM
mittee of 15 without reCOmmenda-
tions but with the suggestion that

sen by the three groups IN the con-

favored it.
No Action Taken.

on the report, the conference ad
journing for an hour after there
had been a sharp debate over in
depreciation of the rules.
Mr. Chadbourne proposed that
the report OF the central committee
DG EEdu dS q W uOlC duu AldL CuIA
group pass on a block OF proposals
at one sitting in order to econo-
mize time. Mr.. Gompers and other
delegates objected streuuously to
this procedure on the ground that

on the floor of the conference
would thus be confined to group
meetings.
Lane Ends Discussion.
Secretary Lane. chairman of the
conference, ended the discussion
by stating that the complete report
Of the central committee would be
heard and that then ample oppor-
tunity would be allowed for dis
cussion of each proposal.

Settled for 5000

At a meeting of the City Council
Friday evening of last week that
body by majority vote decided to
forever settle the claim of Mrs Cor
della Cummings by paying her $500
for alleged injuries sustained in a
fall on defective sidewalk in 1916.
Mrs. Cummings had secured a jude-
ment for $500 through a Macon
County jury. Costs and attorneys
fees in the case made a total of
$l,21300. We understand the City
Council was not unanimous in its
decision, one member going on rec
ord as opposed to the settlement.
