PREPARES wALLoP FOR MINERS.
U. s. VIII Take Quick Action to Pro.
vent Walkout Set For Nov. I.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Immediate
steps to avert the threatened nation
wide strike OF bituminous coal mine
workers are to be taken by the fed
eral government.
After President wilson's cabinet had
discussed the situation at length yes
partment of labor. announced that he
would invite John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca, and John L. Brewster, representing
the operators, to confer with him here
probably Thursday.
While efforts OF the miners and op"
orators to reach an agreement on the
demands Of the workers, which include
increased pay and shorter hours, have
failed, Secretary Wilson is hopeful that
some amicable adjustment of the con-
troversy can be made. .u
tits understood that he will impress
upon both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Brew
ster the Importance Of uninterrupted
operation of the mines upon the life
Of the nation.
The possible effect Of such a strike
on the railroads is understood TO be

officials. A shutdown Of the mines
would result in paralysis of the
transportation system within short
time. with consequent suffering over
the country because of the shutting off
of populous centers from food sur
plies Industry also would be brought
to a standstill with public utilities
stopped and shipping tied up.
Should the conference with Lewis be
barren Of results. further action by the
government is expected. but no one in
authority would venture to suggest
what form that action would take.
While the cabinet today decided to-
leave the settlement of the strike with
the department of labor. it was regard
ed as more than likely that If the con-
ference failed the entire cabinet would
consider the next course.
Besides the threatened strike of coal
miners the cabinet discussed the gem
eral industrial situation today, and it
was announced that Secretary Baker
would make a statement on the sub
ject tomorrow before the Federation OF
Women's Clubs at Cleveland, o.

EAT BAD EGGS
AND BE A LIVE
ONE, SAYS M. D.:

London, Nov. 6.-(By the
Associated Press )-Dr. Jo-
siah Oldfeld, known inter-
nationally as a physician and
writer, has published a pre-
scription for keeping old age
at bay.
According to him, it is not
a question of an operation but
a daily diet which includes
dandelion leaves, foul eggs,
grapes, lettuce, cows milk,
water cress, honey and salad
(uncooked).
"Old age," he says, ''is
largely caused by deposits in
the blood vessels and cells of
the body of waste matter. So
by adopting a part of fruitar-
ian diet a man, however old,
may become young again be-
cause every cell in his body
will be replaced by new
young cells"
Dr.. Oldfeld considers that
a normal person, rightly fed,
should live from 80 to 1O5
years Of age.
