WILL TAKE STEPS TO
AVERT COAL STRIKE
Secretary Wilson Hopeful That Ad-
justment Can Be Made.
CABINET TAKES UP MATTER
Reports That Workers and Operators
Will BE Invited to Confer
With President.

washington. Oct. l4.--Immediate
steps to avert the threatened nation
wide strike of bituminous coal minn
workers arc to be taken by the federal
government. After President Wilson's
Cabinet had discussed the situation at
length today Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Labor, announced that
he would invite John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, and John l.. Brewster, rep
resenting the operators, to confer with
the President, probably Thursday.
Probable efforts of mmc.s and op-
orators to reach an agreement on the
demands Of the workers, which include
increased pay and shorter hours, have
failed. Secretary Wilson is hopeful
that some amicable adjustment of the
controversy can be made. 1t is un-
derstood that he will impress upon
both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Brewster the
Importance of uninterrupted opera
ton of the mines upon the life of the
nation.
The possible effect of such strike
on the railroads is understood to be
uppcrmost in the minds of government
officials. A shutdown of the mines
would result in paralysis of the
transportation system within short
time, with consequent suffering over
the country because of the shutting
off of populous centers from food sup
plies. Industry also would be brought
to standstill with public utilities
stopped and shipping tied up.
President Lewis of the Miners
Union, who has been in this city con-
ferring with other union officials went
to Indianapolis today to prepare the
call for the strike on November /.
Officials hope the issuing of the call
will be deferred until after the con-
ference here.
Should the conference be barren of
results further action by the govern
mcnt is expected, but no one in au-
thcr;ty would venture to suggest what
form that action would take. While
tie Cabinet today decided to leave
the settlement Of the strike to the De-
partmcnt of Labor it was regarded as
more than likely that if the conference
failed the entire Cabinet would con-
slider the next course.
Besides the threatened strike of
coal miners the Cabinet discussed the
general industrial situation today, and
1t was announced that Secretary Bak-
cr would make statement on this
subject tomorrow before the Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs at Cleveland,
Ohio.
