COAL STRIKE MAY
Be. ENDED SOON
Garfield Is Determined to Bring Con-

Washington, Nov. 23.-The inter

field tomorrow in the tagging nego'
tiatons of bituminous operators and
miners of the central competitive
field was expected tonight to bring
to a climax the long drawn out con-
flict and clear the way for speedy
settlement of the strike of the strike
situation which has put the country
of the verge of coal famine.
Although the day brought no ne"
developments here, as mine owners
and workers awaited action by the ad'
ministration tomorrow, it was evident
that both sides recognized that
settlement could not long be delayed
No formal meetings of any sort were
held. Thomas T. Brewster, chairman
Of the operators, and John l.. Lewis
acting president of the United Mine
Workers, remained here, but many OF
the operators spent the weekend
out of the city. Reports received by
operators from Middle Western
states showed that the coal scarcity
already had reached the famine stage
and that the cold weather had brought
suffering and hardship.

HIGH WINS
FROM NlNETY-SIX BY
LARGE SCORE FRIDAY

The Abbeville High School football
team, averaging so pounds, worried
the big Ninety-Six eleven, averaging
140 pounds, for four qaurters here
Friday afternoon and won by the
Overwhelming score of 26 to 6. The
touchdown of the Ninety-Six team
came in the last half minute of play,
when halfback skirted right end and
crossed the goal line unopposed, the
local team seemingly asleep for the
moment. The only excuse that can
be offered is that it had gotten al
most too dark to distinguish the
players. 1t was the only time that
the Ninety-Six team threatened to
score. In fact, it was only in the
last few minutes of play that the
ball was ever out of the opponents
territory.
The work of Hugh Bradley at end,
Donald Harris and Claude Gambrell,
halfbacks, Foster Barnwell, confer
and Tate at guard, is especially To
be commended. But above all, the
team work of the Abbeville eleven
was the outstanding feature of the
game and was the factor that en-
abled it, outweighed over 40 pounds
to the man, to run over, and beat a
much heavier team.
! The local team tried humber of
forward passes and were successful
with a number, making a touchdown
on one, caught by Smith at end, VINO
ran twenty-five yard for touchdown.

LABOR SHORTAGE OF
WORLD TO BE MET
BY ITALIAN WORKERS

Rome.-(By Mail. .)-France and
Italy have just negotiated labor
treaty under the terms Of which Italy
expects to. furnish France with more
tl:an 100000 workmen for the re:
building of the French devastated
districts.
This treaty may be regarded as
sounding the-keynote of Italy's new
policy regarding emigration.
With a worlds shortage in man
power Of between seven and eight
million caused by the deaths and per-
:manently disabled of the war, Italy,
is one of the very few nations that
can contribute steadily towards max
ing up this loss, proposes hereafter
to safeguard and protect her emf
grating workingmen in every way
possible.
Realizing that her surplus Of pop
ulation, in fact, about the only nat
ural national resource of which she
does have an excess, constitutes one
of her greatest national assets, Italy
hereafter will place a much higher
value in her men than before the war.
The treaty just negotiated with
France, while reciprocal in every
way, will apply as matter of fact
almost exclusively to the Italian
workmen who 60 to France, as few
if any French workingmen can be
counted upon to emigrate to Italy.
Under the terms of this treaty, the
Italians who will be employed in the
devastated districts of France and
elsewhere are fully guaranteed in
their social and political rights, in
their educational facilities, in the
matter of their recompense and, in
fact, in everything that goes to af-
feet their moral and material welfare.
