GOVERNMENT MAY
TAKE OVER MINES
FEDERAL OPERATION OF
COAL FIELDS MAY BE
UNDERTAKEN.

WASHINGTON Should the
United Mine Workers refuse TO recedc
from their extreme demands as the
alternative to nationwide strike oil
November in the bituninous coal
fields, a strike which would create
havoc with the entire economic sys-
tenn, all the power of the govern
ment, it has been learned, will be en-
pioyed to operate the mines.
The question of policy in an emerg-
ency, and failing in agreement before
November l, has received full con-
sideration. 1t was strongly intimated
that as last alternative the United
States government under. the war
powers of the president, would take
over the mines and operate them.
even if it became necessary to use
the armed forces of the country to
protect the properties and keep the
supply of coal forthcominga
This was only discussed as last
resourse, but it is understood that the
president will be advised to use his
legal authority under war statutes to
take over the mines by proclamation
in precisely the same way the rail-
roads were taken over All that can
be said now is that the government Is
fully determined to face the issue.

WASHINGTON-Based on the |
assumption that President Wilson will
not be candidate for a third term,
political gossip is rife in Washington
and elsewhere concerning the various
Democratic aspirants for the ,presi-
dency While it is quite true that the
presidents western trip led to much
third term talk, it is assumed quite
generally that, although he is improv-
ing from his recent illness according
to the latest bulletins, he will not un
der any circumstance care to plunge
into an arduous political campaign
next year.
Under such conditions Democratic,
politicians are turning their attention
candidates who have been mentioned
as aspiring to the presidential nominal
ton in the event Mr.. Wilson does not
allow his name to be used. In the list
are William G. McAdoo, Attorney
General Palmer, Governor Cox OF
Ohio. Senator Owen Of Oklahoma
Vice President Marshall, Secretary of
War Baker, Senator Pomerene of
Ohio, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. Cow
ernor Smith Of New York, and several
others. Perhaps William ]. Bryan
ought not to be omitted. Former
Speaker Champ Clark is looked upon
as again aspiring to the nomination
and there is mention Of Seaator
Underwood of Alabama.
McAdoo Solid.
| The gossip here is that Mr.. Nc
Adoo and his friends have been care
full to get good grip on the Demo
cratic organization. The McAdoo in
| fluence is reputed to be dominant in
i the national committee organization
and there seems to be no doubt that
4 Mr.. McAdoo's friends have been
posted about in this organization
with considerable forthought. This
is so far true that there is noticeable
GOODNESS on the part of some Demo-
cratic leaders to the. plan of the ma

suspicion that 1t is to be used in a
large degree to boost along the poll

4 of the Treasury. Attorney General
Palmer's friends are also credited
with much activity. although ii is con.
