US. WILL TRY
TOAVERT SOFT
COAL STRIKE
Plan Official Action by Will
son or Cabinet to Call Off
Threatened Action
BIZ Associated Press

Washington, Dc. Oct. 11.-Some Of
fetal action, either by President Will
son or the Cabinet. to avert the
threatened strike of soft coal miners
November l is to be expected, it was
said to-day At the White House. Of
fcials regard the matter as one re-
quiring governmental action if other
efforts to avert a tie up of the coal
mines fail.
Officials hope the miners and op-
orators will work out an amicable
solution, and press reports from
Philadelphia that it was probable the
negotiations would be renewed were
read with interest.
There was no indication that the
administration haG determined upon
a line of action should it find it nces-
sary TO take a hand. 1t was agreed,
however. that a strike of the coal
miners would have such a far reach
ing effect that action by the govern
ment to prevent it was absolutely
necessary.

itely on the objection of Senator Will
liams, Democrat, Miss, who was said
to have argued that in his present
state. of health the President should
not be called upon for information
or action in such matters.
The resolution before the commit

Poindexter, Republican, Washington,
and would cali upon the President
for a copy of a dispatch said to have
been sent to the State Department
last January by the American min
lister at Peking, going into Japanese
Chineses relations at some length.
Senator Williams was said by
committee members to have made a
vigorous protest against sending a
request to the White House in the
present circumstances. 1t was un-
derstood the case of President NC
Kinley's illness was cited, the Sen
ators objecting declaring that in that
instance the Senate refrained, as a
matter of courtesy, from raising
points requiring action in foreign
relations.
To- this some members of the
committee were said to have replied
that the critical condition of Mr..
Mckinley was known to every one,
while the exact situation regarding
President Wilson's health now was
the subject of wide speculation.
It was said there was no effort
, formally to raise the question of MI.
Wilson's disability under the consti-
tuition.
Stand ON Bulletins
Besides the Poindexter resolution,
the committee majority had expected
to act on a resolution by Senator
King, Democrat, Utah, expressing II
as the sense of the Senate that
! Thrace should be awarded to Greece
and one by Chairman Lodge request
! ing the President to call an inter
national conference to consider ques-
tions relating to telegraph and wire
less communication.
After to-day's bulletin was issued
DR.. Grayson said he and the othel
physicians attending the Presiden'
would continue to stand on theil
bulletins and would not deny rum
ors as to the Presidents condition
or enter into any discussions con-
corning them.
! DIR. Grayson said that while he
would insist that the President re-
main quiet and not participate IN
affairs of state, some occasion might
| arise where he would have to give
his consent to the President taking
executive action. He added that the
Presidents mind was clear and that
he was perfectly capable of forming
instant judgment on any matter thai
might come up.
DIR. Grayson gave assurances thai
if any material change occurred In
the Presidents condition, the fac
would be made known. Nothing
would be kept from the public il
the Presidents condition should be-
come suddenly critical, he said.

The committee meeting this morn
ing was we'll attended. The Chair
man, Donald Mccormick, read with
interest the communications in which

In the meantime, however, subscrip-

Mrs. David Watts, of Mechanics

the name of her daughter, Miss Mar

service as a canteen worker IN
