THINK OF THE
MONEY YOU CAN
SAVE ON SHOES

Clarence ]. Bloenker of St. Louis.
Missouri, writes, @ have a pair of
shoes with Neolin Soles and have used
them for two years. ! think they will
last another six months"
Mr.. Bloenker also recommends
Neolin Soles for their comfort and
waterproofness. =,
It is remarkable fact that Neolin
Soles cost no more than others that
give only ordinary wear. You can
get them on new shoes in many styles
for men, women, and children-and
they are available everywhere for re-
soling, too
And look at the money you save
because you need fewer pairs Of shoes
with Ne0lin Soles. Remember-these
soles are made by Science to be espe-'
cially tough and durable. They are
manufactured by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co. OF Akron, Ohio. who also

FROM
CENTRAL POWERS
To BE ADMIT TED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30--With only
the French capital delegate opposing
the action, the international labor con-
ference today decided to admit rep
resentatives of Germany and Austria,
Immediately upon their arrival here
to full membership in the world labor
organization.
Louis Guerin, who cast the only
negative vote, holding up to view the
desolation wrought by the German
military machine in the invaded re-
gions of his country, declared that a
distinction must be made between
barbarian" nations that regard a
treaty as a scrap of paper and allied
peoples who had fought for the cause
of freedom. He insisted that Germany
and Austria, with whom, he said, the
allied nations are still at war, should
not be admitted until the close of the
conference and maintained that such
was tine view of the French senate and
of Leon Burgeois, French representa-
tive to the league of nations.
Sharp opposition to this view was
expressed by Leon Jouhaux, French
labor delegate, who said that the war
was at an end and that Germany must
be admitted in the new regime"
The Belgian governmental and labor
delegates asked to be recorded as vot
ing favorably only because economic
conditions forced them to do so, and
jules Cartier, Belgian capital repres-
entative, abstained from voting.
Il can not vote against the resolution
because of the economic reasons which
are clear to ALL" said Mr.. Cartier, "and
| will not vote for it because Germany
has cruelty violated all its obligations
to Belgium, and because the Germans
| have systematically wrecked all oul
industrial life during the four years OF
their occupation"
| An effort was made by DR.. W. H
Nolens, Dutch government delegate, te
strike out of the resolution of admis-
sion words stating that the action was
taken 'in accordance with the decisions
| of the allied and associated powers
| but the motion was lost by vote Of
40 to 4.
DR.. R. H Eliza1de, government dele
gate from Ecuador, asked why Mexico
had not been invited to the conference
and moved to admit that republic while
Judge Johan Castberg, Norwegian
government representative proposed
| that Finland also be admitted. Botf
motions were deferred, under the rules
until tomorrow.

FINANCIAL POLICY
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIrel

LONDON, Oct. so.--The government
was given vote Of confidence in the
house of commons tonight on its
financial policy by an Overwhelming
majority Of 355.
An amendment to the governments
financial resolution, moved by John r.
Clynes, laborite and former food con-
troller, was rejected. 405 to so, and
the governments resolution was unan-
imousfy adopted.
This resolution, which was drafted
at a cabinet meeting on Monday, de-
clared that this house, realizing the
serious effects upon the trade and in
dustry of the nation of the enormous
financial burdens resulting from the
war, promises its hearty support to
the government in all reasonable pro-
posals, however drastic. for the reduc-
ton of expenditures and the diminu-
tion of debt"
Although the ministers speeches
had been wholly devoted to defending
the revised. estimates presented by
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer and virtually no plans had
been outlined for serious retrench-
ment, the Clynes amendment, calling
for a levy upon capital and the rever-
sion 10 the state of fortunes made from
the war, was quickly disposed Of and
when the government motion was put
from the chair, although the laborites
challenged division, they did not per-
sist and the motion was adopted with
out division amid loud cheers and iron
ical laughter.

business man and as being 'in a class
by himself as an organizer" in letters
signed by prominent business men of
st. Cloud and elsewhere, which were
introduced as testimony. Many of the
signers stated that they had investi-
gated the record of Pandolfo for 20
years back and had found it to be a
good one.
William C. Kuby, a postal employe in
Chicago told of receiving Pandolfo's 8
application for postoffice box. Asked
to give references Pandolfo gave
among others, the First National Bank

only general and from what know of
him, am unwilling to endorse him" "
the president of the bank replied, ac-
cording to letter read in court by

employed by Louis Beam, the sales
man. in the spring Of 1917.
Stallings who bought five shares
said that Beam said he would return
in six weeks driving a Pan car. He
never returned, however, the witness
added.
Beam told Yates, according to the
testimony of the letter, that his pay
for selling stock was IS per day and
expenses. The witness said, however
that he could not remember the con-
versation definitely.
All the witnesses who had been
buyers of stock agreed that they under
stood that the par value OF the stock
that cost them $40 was to be only S.
They also were told. they said, that the

PUEBLO. Colo. Oct. SO.-With the
exemption of 1000 miners employed in
2S mines in Colorado, less than 1000
coal miners in this state will be called
out by the United Mine Workers of
America Saturday, according to an
nouncement by II. c. Stewart, secre-
tary of district No. 15, United Mine
Workers, here tonight.
A message was received by Mr.
Stewart from Indianapolis early this
evening exempting 2S coal mines in
Colorado from the strike order. These
IS mines are operating under union
agreement and the agreement does not
expire until April, 1920. Mr.. Stewart
explained that the situation in dis
trict No. is. which embraces Colorado,
Utah and New Mexico. was different
from the situation in other districts
inasmuch as the miners in other dis
tricts were working under what is
known as the Washington agreement.
which expired with the ending of the
war.
"Fair to Operators"
Pressed for an explanation as to why
the miners did not adhere to their
original purpose Of calling out all
miners regardless Of working con-
tracts, Mr.. Stewart explained that the
union sought to abide by its agree
ments and as long as 16 coal com
panies Of Colorado were operating rs
mines under union contract, 1t was
only fair to the operators that the
contract should be maintained. He
declared that none Of the mines in
Utah or New Mexico operated under
union contract and therefore none #
the mines in those states would be
exempt from the strike call.
Among the principal coal mining
companies affected by the exemption
order are the Victor American Fuel
company, which operates 10 mines
the McNally mine, the Alliance Coal
company, Colorado Utah Fuel COM
pany. Curtis Coal company and the
Monument Valley Coal company.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany, operating 20 mines, and the
Rocky Mountain Fuel company, oper-
ating u mines, are the two principal
mines to be closed down by the strike
order.
Mr.. Stewart explained that he wa.
not positive OF the number of Goa
miners employed in Colorado, but de-
clared that the state mine inspectors
office placed the number of men work
ing in and around the mines in Colo
RADIO at eleven thousand, although
there might be only nine Thousand
actual coal miners. Elimination o.
1000 coal miners by the exemption or.
der would leave but 5000 actual Goa
miners to be called out on strike Sat.

Uncle Sam Wearing Fighting Clothes
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O-The gov
ernment put on its fighting clothes
today to meet the coal strike due to
start Saturday.
While order after order popped out
with startling war time swiftness the
long arm of the law reached out to
protect the public and those miners
willing to remain at work in the face
of union commands to quit.
Most drastic of all moves during
the day was the order Of the railroad
administration for seizure of coal f.
transit for roads requiring it, with
rationing of stocks on hand to essen
tial industries.
So far as the government is able To
prevent there will be no profiteering
while the grim spectre of winter, W tn
coal bins dangerously low or bare
looms big and close at hand. Almost
the first step today was drafting of an
order fixing a maximum price for ali
grades of coal. establishment of
the priorities list will put coal where
it is most needed, and if it comes to
that the government will curtail con-
sumption.
Breaking down the barriers which
ndu kept IDeulDeTS VI lne CdDillel away
from his sick room, President Wilson
took a hand in the fight today and
personally approved every detail in
the general plan of dealing with con-
ditions likely to arise with the walk
out of the soft coal miners. For 20
minutes the president propped in bed,
went over with Attorney General Pal
mer the various steps, heard what
orders had been issued and was put
| in intimate touch with all arrange
ments. The president, it was said, was
especially gratified to learn of protec-
| tive measures, both for the homes and
the mines.
Senate Pledges Support
The coal strike took precedence
over the peace treaty in the senate,
which for four hours debated and then
| adopted a resolution pledging its sup
| port to the government in maintaining
| order during the present industrial
| emergency. Efforts to have the house
take similar action failed by opposition
of republican leaders.

tailment Of industries, but if it is nee
essary eventually the curtailment list
prepared by the fuel administration
for the war industries board during

war industries on that list, of course,
he explained, would not get the treat
ment they did during the war, and
might be cut off altogether.
Price control over anthracite, the
fuel administration emphasized, would
not be exercised at this time. He made
the statement regarding anthracite to
correct a previous assertion that the
control would cover prices of both soft
and hard coal.
