MINERS STRIKE
WILL BE WAGED.
OFFICIAL SAYS
Pittsburgh Union Head Asserts
Wilson Is Doomed to
Disappointment.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 2S.-Those who
are hoping that union miners will
heed President Wilson and not go
on strike November l are doomed
to disappointment, said Philip Muir
ray, president of the Pittsburgh dis
trict Of the United Mine Workers
of America, prior to his departure
for Indianapolis to attend the meet
ing of the International executive
board tomorrow. Mr.. Murray added
that he saw no reason to think the
strike would be averted.
No Change in Situation.
Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 2S,-With
mo change in the situation" report
ed at United Mine Workers OF
America headquarters, leaders of
the big organization OF coal miners
were preparing grimly for a mo-
mentous conference of its executive
board, district presidents and scale
committee. John L. Lewis. acting
president of the organization, ar
rived from his nome in Springfield,
ILL.,, but had little to add to senti-
ments he has already expressed con-
cerning the general strike planned
to take effect in the bituminous
mines November |.
The condemnation of the pro-
posed walkout by President Wilson
and his suggestion that a tribunal
be appointed to find a basis of
settlement of the disagreement be-
tween workers and employers with
coal production continuing, mean
while, held ne charms for the union
leaders. Echoing the points male
by William Green, secretary-treas-
urer of the organization, Mr.. Lewis
said that the national executives
idea that the need for wartime pro-
hibition had passed because the
emergency had ended, expressed ex-
actly the unions attitude towards its
wartime wage contract.
There is no further use for war
time prohibition, according to the
president" said Mr.. Lewis. Neither
is there further use for the war
time Washington wage agreement.
We, therefore, resent the imputation
that the strike is illegal"

BOY-ED REFUSES
TO BE THE GOAT"

Berlin, Oct. 28.-Sensations may
be sprung when Capt. Karl Boy-ed,
former German naval attache to the
embassy at Washington, testifies
before the parliamentary committee
investigating war responsibilities,
plots and conspiracies, including
those engineered in America.
In answer to Count Won Bern
storff's testimony that Boy-ed and
Captain Won Papen (the former
military attache) operated independ.
ent of him (the ambassador) and
worked under direct orders from
Berlin, and that he, Bernstorff, had
neither, influence nor control over
their actions, Captain Boy-ed tele-
graphed to the chairman of the COM
mittee demanding that he be allowed
to testify in his own behalf.
1t is evident from Boy-ed's atti-
tude that he does not propose to be
made the goat" There is keen
speculation as to what he will tell
of the orders given to him and by
whom. Strong influences are said
to be at work not to let Boy-ed ana
Won Papen testify.

profits are $4,000 annually. No
contract for supplying.
"Biltmore-The next was the
Biltmore hotel. Armour took stock
to the amount of 100000, but we
had no opportunity. No contract
to supply their meat, but this is as

While there is no contract to

gets it. There is no doubt but that
the stocks in both the above hotels
