ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 3.yTwo

were beaten early today by death.

learned his sonny" John Hevlln,
Jr., one year and one week old, was
dying. The mother at Pawnee, Okla,

be nothing done for the baby.
Hevlin first arranged with a
specialist in children's diseases here
to direct a delicate operation by tcle-
phone here while physician in Paw
nee carried out the long distance In
structions. AT the last minute il was
decided telephone connections raight
make this hazardous.

DEALERS ASK RELEASE
Several Local Plants Have Car Load
Lots Which They are Anxious

Coal consigned to Keokuk dealers
and to local factories, which was
shipped in here Saturday morning
has been taken over by the govern
ment. The coal is beng held oy
federal authority, and it may not be
released except upon orders from the
fuel administration, it is believed.
One dealer who has ten or twelve
cars in the yards, is unable to toucn
a pound of the fuel. Other dealers
who have cars in the yards find them
selves in the same fix One OF the
large factories has consignment OF
four car loads of coal, but this IS
being held up by the government
Dealers and factory men were ap-
pealing today to John Nagel. who
served last year as fuel administrator
and who has been asked to serve
again this year, by Charles Webster,
state fuel administrator.
Some of the plants here have coal
enough to run them for two weeks
or month, with more in transit. but
1t is presumed that the fuel IN
transit has been held by the govern
ment. Coke. it is said, is exempt
under the federal rulings.

NEW INDUSTRIAL
CONFERENCE
President Wilson May Call One to
Make Fresh Start in Effort
to Smooth Out Rough
Spots.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. Sailing a
new Industrial conference was under
consideration by President Wilson
and other government officials today
following the proposals of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers that
IAN industrial commission" be set
up in Washington to settle capital
and labor disputes.
Wilson and other officers of the
government, it is understood, hold
the opinion that an industrial code
must be drawn up and subscribed to
by the workers and employees, else
many serious strikes will come in
the trail of the steel and coal walk
outs, and with no liason between
labor and the capitalists the situa-
ton will become steadily more acute
and interference with production
more widespread.
Since the original industrial con-
ference dissolved after having split
on the question of collective bargain
ing. the president has been consid.
ering calling another, to make a
fresh start. His list of delegates. it
was learned, is partly made UP. The
proposal of the railway men gives
him the opportunity to act.
The suggestion of the Locomotive
Engineers was:
"As a remedy for the present tur.
bulent conditions, we suggest that
immediate steps be taken to as
semble at Washington an industrial
commission that will recognize the
rights of all citizens and is not
pledged to oppose collective bargain
ing. as this is a time for deliberate
action on the part of all concerned
in a. peaceful solution of the present
conditions"
While such an organizations prime
object would be the drafting Of an in
dustrial code acceptable to both
sides, government officials believe
that one Of the first concrete prob
lens to be put before 1t would be
settlement Of the coal strike. Presi-
dent Wilson is ready to initiate me-
diation, provided the miners first re.
turn to work. 1t was considered
probable the Industrial commission,
called at the instigation OF labor,
which would insure the nation
VI COdl dllu Ct lie lihC
give the president a chance 70 engi-
neer permanent settlement.
1T was learned that in proposing
the new conference the railway men
had in mind their own demands
which are at present before Rail Di.
rector Hines His reply will be
submitted to the railway unions men,
bership for a strike vote.
The brotherhoods' proposition will
have the support OF practically all
cabinet officers, according to the
first reaction to the suggestion.
The brotherhood leaders had long
conferences with Attorney General
Palmer and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the A. F. of L., before max
ing public their proposals.
A number of senators are expected
to line UP behind it. Several of then,
nave been making suggestions In the
same direction as the railroad men.
