wounds. received when Industrial

Armistice Day parade here today.
The death list early tonight stood at
three Arthur McE1frcs:1 having been
killed instantly. All were overseas
men. Male Hubbard, one of the Six
wounded, was reported dying. The
other wounded Will recover, it was
said. All the killed and wounded
were overseas veterans.
Sixteen alleged, Industrial Work
ers of the World were arrested early
tonight, and more were being placed
in jail as fast as they could be found.
Former soldiers were guarding the
jail to keep the prisoners from a
mob which crowded around the
building.
Immediately after the shooting a
crowd Of spectators and marchers
seized man they believed to be the
ringieader Of the I. w. w. They put
rope around his neck, threw the
rope over the cross-arm of tele-
phone pole and started to haul him
up. He was in the air only a brief
period before the chief of police pre-
vailed upon the crowd to let him
down. Tonight the man was in jail
here nearly dead.

celebrate the anniversary of the sus-

NEED FOR COAL
BECOMES ACUTE
Hoped That Agreement Will
Soon Be Reached

Washington, Nov. l2-The appar-
ent unwillingness Of all union coal
miners to return to work at the old
pay scale caused government officials
to put forth every effort today to
bring about an immediate negotia-
ton of new wage agreement.
Secretary Wilson, without waiting
for formal acceptance of his offer to
mediate the differences, began smooth
ing the way for the Joint conference
of miners and operators he has called
To meet in Washington Friday.
Both sides notified the labor secre-
tary that they would attend the con-
ference Spokesmen for the mine
workers said that if the mine owners
came in a spirit Of conciliation a new
agreement could be, framed and ratiA
fed by SATURDAY night.
Until an agreement is formally ac-
cepted by the miners scale committee,
labor leaders said, there was little
hope of full resumption Of coal pro-
duction.
1T Was because Of this possibility
and the steady drain meanwhile on
the nations visible coal supply that
Secretary Wilson undertook today to
induce some Of the miners and opera
tors to see the other fellows side.
The indicated continued suspension
of mining activities in union fields to-
day was no. surprise to government
officials nor accepted as an actual
test of the attitude of the miners.
Complete distribution of the order
cancelling the strike might take some
time. it was said. 1t was felt, how
ever. that a large number of men
might remain out until the demands
agreed upon in convention would be
granted.
Labor leaders who have admitted
that the public sentiment was strong
ly against the strike. took comfort to
day in what they described a COM
pIetc change Of sentiment in newspa-
per editorials Messages to labor
headquarters stated that the feeling
was growing that the miners were
entitled to higher wages.
Secretary Wilson, while declining
to discuss the outlook in the coal
fields. was greatly encouraged by the
readiness of the two sides to meet and
make a determined effort to frame
a wage schedule satisfactory to min
ers and operators alike. Mr.. Wilson
was quite hopeful of success >and this
feeling was shared by most officials.

TO the Supreme Court for permis
sion to sell Fifth Avenue lot be-
longing to the trust estate. The
property is lot 25x11o, 81 feet
north of Eighty-second Street. on
posite the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art.
The matter was submitted to
Phoenix ingraham, as referee. and
yesterday he filed his report recon-
mendng that the court give the
trustees permission to sell. Will
lam II. Cruikshank testified before
the referee as an expert that the
cutting property, being opposite the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, was
not as valuable as if it were fur
ther north or south of that block.
Mr.. Cruikshank said he had been
trustee of other property there, had
tried to dispose of it and found the
value deprecated. For that reason
the property is not suitable for the
building of private residences. Mr..
Cruikshank placed value of $685.
600 on the Cutting property
Mr.. Cutting said he had an offer
of Sl45 900. with 70 per cent of the
purchase price to remain as mort
gage.
