TO "clear decks for action"
Just what action might be taken by
the executive board was not indicated
1t was stated that in addition to the
strike business considerable routine had
accumulated since the last meeting of
the board and that this also would
have to be disposed Of.
Union officials were still inclined to-
day to rest their case on the state
ment issued last night by the confer
ence. This organization retained also
its receptive mood 20 far as overtures
for nsgotiations with the operators were
concerned,
Had the operators followed the tra-
ditions Of the coal mining industry and
agreed to 'talk across the table, an
\ agreement probably could have been
reachea ID the wsse IN terve ming IA the

The statement, in language so terse
at times as TO be almost crytic, denied
that the strike was Illegal, stated that
the executive board had no power to
override the decision OF the interna-
tional council and refuted charges or
ulterior motives In the unions policy
Throughout the document also was the
constant relteratlon OF WlnlnsheSs W

the demands, including those for so
per cent increase in wages and the 80
hour week, were subject to negotiation,
More than 350,000 bituminous miners
will be affected by the strike order and
an Immediate and complete tieup OF
the soft coal industry Is predicted by
the union leaders. They expressed con-
fidence that several thousand nonunion
miners would follow the organized men
in their walkout.

FLU" SERUM USELESS
Physicians Are Still Hunting for

y. s. Laboratory Director Says No

10 Known.

New York-Considering that the IN
Tllrance companies OF the United
States lost about S130.0O00O0 during
the three months last year when the
Influenza epidemic was at its height,
1t was but natural that when the Asso-
citation Of Life Insurance Medical Di-
recters met in annual convention in
Newark the physicians and public
health authorities should concern
themselves almost exclusively to the
search for some preventive measure
which would preclude another outbreak
of the plague.
Ard yet. although it was shown that
about 100000 people in the world
perished from it, 100000 of whom were
Americans. all the medical experts ad-
mitted that the disease was completely
battling. Said Dr. G. w. Mccoy. di-
rector of the hygienic laboratory of the
public health service in Washington.
''There is no serum that I know Of
which is of the slightest value in pre-
venting influenza, nor is there a serum
that is Of any use whatever in the
treatment of the disease" He made
this statement after carefully expert
menting with serums and vaccineS In
all parts of the country where the dis
ease had broken out, and particularly
in Pelham Bay and the army camps
where the mortality was great.
