Paris, Feb. 22.-The French peo-

the matter of revolutions predict
almost unanimously that Germany is

While the Socialist organs deplore
the loss of Eisner who was a per
sonal friend of Jaures, himself as
sassinated and whose murderer is
still untried, the Conservative press
concludes that the upheaval in Ger
many means a revival of militarist
reaction justifying correspondingly
strong military measures.
These papers point out II is too
late for Germany to play the paci-
fist, pretending to regret her errors

mines in western Pennsylvania were
virtually closed again today, while

Strike leaders were loath to discus
the situation, but they gave every in

claims of having 100000 on strike in
Pennsylvania would hold good today
despite claims of operators that
miners, starting today, would straggle
back to work in ever-increasing
numbers when they learned the non
union regions in Connellsville, Union
town and Greensburg could handle
the immediate needs OF consumers.
Operators claimed early reports
were lacking, but they expressed be

men were holding firmly, with MANY
men from closed sections applying for
work

While such an organizations prime
object would be the drafting of an

one OF the FIRST concrete problems to

of the coal strike. President Wilson

1t was considered probable the in

arrange a truce which would insure
the nation a supply Of coal and at the
same time give the President a
chance to engineer a permanent set

the new conference the railway men
had in mind their own demands,
which are at present before Nail III

membership for a strike vote.
May Halt n. r. Strike.
Leaders of the unions foresee what
such a walkout, coming on top of the
coal and steel strikes, would mean
to the country just at this time when
an effort is being made to increase
production and get the domestic ma
chiuery running smoothly again to
bring down prices. They recommend
ed the converting of an industrial
conference, on a new basis, in the
hope that through it a railroad strike
might be avoided.
The brotherhood's proposition will
have the support of practically all
cabinet officers, according to the FIRST
reaction to the suggestion. The Gov
