commercial intercourse of nations, to

Wilson Continues
To Grow Better

Washington, Oct. 21.-While Presi-
dent Wilson was able today to fornu-
late a message to Secretary Lane for
transmission to the national industrial
conference, no effort was made either
by Rear Admiral Grayson, his physi-
clan, or by White House officials to
create the impression that the action
was indicative of a decided improve
ment in the presidents condition.
Writing of the message, however,
was pointed to by members of the
White House staff as further refuting
reports that Mr.. Wilson was unable
to transact any necessary business
that might require his attention as
chief executive.
While the president, it was said at
the White House, was no worse to-
day, his condition did not show any
decided change for the better as
might be inferred from his increas-
ing activity in governmental affairs

Hints at Settlement.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Settlement
of the controversy between bitumin-
Gus miners and operators without a
strike, "is within the range of prac-
tibility" Representative Sanders, re-
publican, Indiana, declared in a
speech in the house today. His dis
trict is in the center of the Indiana
coal field.
"For over a quarter of century,
said Representative Sanders, "the
machinery for adjusting disputes, in
Guiding the present one, is still in
tact. In the past they have bar
gained and compromised and used a
good supply of common sense on both
Sides"
Replying to the Indiana member
Representative Blanton, democrat
Texas, asserted that great loss in
production of coal would result from
granting of the miners demands, and
that loss of production in industry
generally added to the cost of living
burden.

lips sternly set, the first King Of Eu-
rope to seek lessons in America un-
covered as he stepped within the
shadow Of the tomb, bearing his
wreath of white chrysantheumums.
He bowed three, times and crossed
himself as he stepped over the thres-
hold and laid the flowers upon the
marble slab. The king stood mo-
tionless, his head bowed, and his lips
moved as though in silent prayer.
No less reverent was Queen Eliza
beth who followed her husband. Be-
hind her walked the STRIPPING prince.
The stay within the tomb was brief
and all those of the royal Belgians
bowed deeply before the ashes Of
the immortal American as they step
ped backward into the open air.
Without preliminaries the king
paid tribute to the president. No
less than Lincoln he knew all the
horrors Of war, but from the spirit
Of the homely son Of Illinois, he ask

SAYS AUT0CRACY
OF LABOR Chief
NATIONAL Peril
Senator Freylinghuysen States
Time Has Come to Put An
End to Class Rule.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Unionism
under it's present leadership was at
tackled in the Senate today by Sem
ator Frelinghuysen, Republican, of
New Jersey, as "new autocracy''
tending oward Bolshevism.
Criticizing the demands of the BIZ
luminous coal miners for five day
week and increased wages, Senator
Frelinghuysen, who is chairman Of
the senate committee investigating
the coal strike, called upon American
public opinion to stop condition
which he feared would result in class
government.
The New Jersey senator said the
demands of the miners, half of them
alines, were "inordinate" and could
not be granted as they would result
in decreased production and an in
crease in price to the consumer of
from S to $3.50 ton.
"Is the United States ready to be
dictated to by these menu" he asked.
"The time has come to put an end
to this new autocracy," said the SEN
ator. "Unless this intolerable condi-
ton can be rectifed; unless some
means can be found to prevent impo-
sition of such unthinkable demands
and penalties; unless bargaining can
be continued in an orderly manner and
with due regard to the public welfare
and comfort, a new remedy must be
applied-the remedy of making labor
amenable to the same extent as capt.
tai to the laws of the United States
Referring to the steel strike, the
New York Logshoremen's strike, the
Boston police strike. the New York
pressmen's strike and other labor dis
turbances, Senator Frelinghuysen
said:
Class Rule
"Where will this striking frenzy
stop? Unless a halt is called we
shall reach a state of anarchy infin-
itely worse than the autocracy of
Germany. This is class government
and not democracy.
"There is a determined movement
throughout the land to assume con-
troll of all government functions in
behalf of a Glass;" continued Senator
Frelinghuysen. eve have come to a
parting of the ways. This country is
not ready to be dictated to by horde
of aliens. Any citizen who seeks tc
advance the interest of himself anc
his associates at the expense Of the
general public is not a patriotic citi.
zen. Sovietism means class rule. W.
cannot permit that in America anC
still preserve our democratic insti.
buttons.
Labor unionism should be uphele
for one primary principle to obtair
and maintain justice for the man wht
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow; but when the power of organi
cation is employed to impose injustice
against all other classes of society
the law of the land should be invok
ed to prevent the abuse of such power
or laws enacted that will do this.

ders of Indiana Hints at Settle
ment of Controversy.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Failure of
operators and miners to settle their
differences, after four hour confer
ence today with Secretary of Labor
Wilson may force the government to
step in and prevent the strike of half
million bituminous coal miners call
ed for November 1.
Although another effort will oe
made tomorrow to bring peace to the
industry, the strike tonight doomed
large and close at hand, and leaders
Of the two sides, speaking frankly
and gravely, said there was little
hope.
While the full scale committees
representing miners and operators
were fighting their battles today
behind a closed door, strike storm
ragged in the senate and federal
agencies looked up the law, firmly
convinced it would have to be in
voked to save the country from untold
distress and suffering.
Filing out of the meeting place,
the miners and operators went their
separate ways to discuss the crisis.
Informed of the attack on the I'M
ions in the senate by Senator Freling-
huysen of New Jersey, and reports
from many quarters that the govern
ment might intervene, strike leaders
said there was bare chance OF
some encouraging development to-
morrow, but that the strike order
would stand.
It was not thought tonight that the
conference would continue in ses-
sion afer tomorrow. All government
plans failed, therefore, until its
close, with full expectation should nc
results be obtained, the government
through congress ofs other agencies
would step in and keep the mines in
full operation.
