Western States in Critical
Condition by Coal Shortage

Chicago, Nov. 2l.-Industry in
the middle west today found itself
in a critical condition with shut
downs ordered, or in prospect as a
result of the soft coal shortage due
to the miners strike.
While the fuel administration had
ordered an embargo on export of
hard coal-except to Canada today,
and miners leaders and operators
were considering counter propos-
ais at Washington, announcement
was made bt the Illinois Manufac-
turing association that seven large
industries would be forced to sus-
pend operations indefinitely.
Many other plants may be forced
to shut down or greatly reduce their
operations at the end of another
week of nonproduction of coal, it
was said at the Offices.
Reports were somewhat encour-
aging from West Virginia and Colo
RADIO today. Production was in
creased IN the New River district
of West Virginia, where yesterday
1t was reported that new strikes
were spreading. In Colorado, where
second strike was called aud an
injunction issued against it yester-
day, it was announced by miners
leaders that the strike had been cam
celed.

Nothing else was said by either

what is thought to be the Lost
Cave" for which, it is declared, In

The ground gave way under the
boys while they were chasing a rab-

cave.
An exploring party, which spent
several hours in the cave, said they
went nearly two miles back through
passages perfectly shaped and failed
to reach the end. A stream Of deep,
swift water runs through the cave

KAISER'S IMPERSONATER
UNPOPULAR IN MUNICH.

Berlin, Nov. 2l.-Ferdinand Bonn,
the actor, who impersonated Will
helm II in the recently suppressed
"kaiser film," purporting to picture
the ex-emperor's career, was forcibly
driven from platform and hall in
Munich, where he was giving reci-
tations.
Munich is the most democratic
city in Germany, and not many
weeks ago was under bolshevist
regime. The treatment of the actor,
who in the film satirized the ex-
kaiser, is regarded as sympathetic
of the shift of sentiment in Ger
smany, for only recently denunci-
ations of, or satires on the ex-kaiser
were everywhere received with ap-
plause.

ment on the Omaha alleys. At 7
p. m. last night the eight teams
scheduled to roll were ready for
the gong. A large gallery was in
attendance to witness the opening
and see the contests. Mayor Smith,
representing the city, made a speech
of welcome to the bowlers, and
President Menne of St. Louis, re-
sponded for the association. Com
missioner Dan Butler and the old
veteran of many tournaments, Dad
Huntington, also took part in the
speechmaking. These four threw
the first balls and the tourney was
on.
While there were some isolated
flashes of real class, the evening s
rolling was of a mediocre variety.
Most of the rollers were competing
in their first tournament, but what
they lacked in pingetting, they
made up for in enthusiasm and ex-
citement.

No Authority for Congress to
Override State Rights,
Elihu Root Asserts.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Arguments
on the constitutionality of the war.
time prohibition and the Volstead
enforcement acts were concluded
today in the supreme court. There
was no indication when a decision
would be rendered, but because OF
the importance of the question,
court officials said they would not
be surprised to see the cases de-
cided on December 8, when the
court reconvenes after two weeks
recess.
In resuming his argument to-
day before the court, Elihu Root,
appearing for Jacob Rupert, New
York brewer, again attacked both
acts as a violation of the federal
constitution and ,usurpation of
power by congress.
Hold Large Stocks.
Mr.. Root told the court that Mr..
Rupert and members of the Brew
ers' association had more than
81, 100000 worth of beer made under
authority of the Lever act and be-
fore the Volstead act was enacted,
which they now were unable to sell.
\ The court cannot close its eyes
to the facts made known to all the
world by the highest evidence in
this matter" said Mr.. Root, "and
tot determine whether by those
facts congress has the constitutional
tight to override the rights of the
states given by the tenth amend
ment."
Arguing that congress had no au-
thority to>"go out into the country
after the war is over and where SOL
diers have been merged into the
civil life and override the laws of the
states," MI. Root asked:
Must Draw Line.
Where are you to draw the line
if you are to step overs the line of
absolute necessity into space? If
it is to be within the competency
of congress to regulate the districts
because they are permeated by fed
eral officials, then there is no limit to
the authority of congress"
By permitting the liquor inter-
ests one year to dispose of the
stocks and adjust their affairs. Mr..
Root said, the 18th constitutional
came very near being
a contract" This year of grace"
he added, was allowed by congress
and the states even when "the war
was fragrant and the demands for
the highest exercise Of power was
at its height"
"But when this war is over, this
Volstead act takes away this time
of grace" said Mr.. Root, adding
that even during this specified
period the liquor interests "have
been heckled and harried by statutes

Secretary Wilson Again to

Both Rejected.
81 PER CENT INCREASE

Forced to Shut Down by
Shortage : Eastern Coal
Now Arriving.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Secretary
of Labor Wilson stepped to the
front again to fight in an effort to
bring miners and operators to.
gether after a proposal by each
side had been rejected and the slate
wiped clean.
Mr.. Wilson is said to have for
mally presented a definite proposal
for settlement of wage disputes
which would send bituminous min
ers back to work before the coun-
try was in the throes of coal
famine, but its nature was not dis
closed.
1t was believed he suggested, a
wage increase of about 81 per cent
Both sides united in asking him
to join the joint subscale commit
tees after the miners had definitely
rejected 20 per cent wage advance
and the operators had finally re-
fused to agree to counter pro-
posal from the workers for a DO
per cent increase, a seven-hour day
and six.day week with half holiday
on Saturday.
Make Slight Progress.
When the conference adjourned,
after half hour session, Thomas
T. Brewster, chairman of the oper-
ators, declared that their offer had
been withdrawn and that the slate
was now clean.
Secretary, Wilson said that pro-
gress had been made and that he
would meet the subcommittee again
tomorrow afternoon. -~
Comparative data on increases in
the cost of living and wage advance
to miners since 1914 was submitted
by Mr.. Wilson, who declined to
make public his proposition. 1t was
said he proposed an increase of ap-
proximately 81 per cent, the diff
ference between the cost of living
and wage increase figures announced
by the secretary at the opening of
the conference last week. An ulti-
matum served by the operators that
their offer represented the maxi
mum was reaffirmed tonight by Mr..
Brewster, who declared it could not
be increased unless "the govern
ment says we should do it.
Operators Ask Arbitration.
When the conference failed to
agree on either sides proposition
the operators suggeAd referring
the dispute to arbitration, but the
miners objected. The operators
proposed a tribunal of nine men,
bers to be chosen i'm one of three
different ways. Each side to pick
four members and the eight to Sc
lect the umpire; each side to name
four and the president of the United
States the ninth or each side to
name three and the other three to
be chosen by the president
The counter proposition from the
miners, scaling down their earlier
demands, was submitted by John
L. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers after he had
conferred with Secretary Wilson.
hi LEWIS StdtCu llldt tuC ASW W uC-
mand for a 40 per cent wage ad-
vance for all sorts of work repre-
sented the margin between the
wage increases received by the
miners since 1914 I and the jump
taken by living costs.
The mine workers also insisted
that all local differences not covered
by interstate agreement be referred
back to the districts in which they
originated for settlement.
