GOVERNMENT OFFICERS believe
Miners STRIKE MAY Be Ended
IN next TWENTY -FOUR HOURS
Three Conferences at Washington Today Bring Hope for Set
tIement of Difficulties in Next Few Withdrawal Of
Strike Order by Miners Officials Possibility Opinion Of
Those Close to Palmer -Gompers Promises Statement.

Washington, Nov. Two confer
ences today between Samuel Gompers
and Attorney General Palmer and the
announcement of third conference
later in the day brought hope here
that the strike of soft coal miners is
near an end
Gompers' first conference with Palm
er was just before the cabinet meeting.
1t was followed by short talk be-
tween Palmer and President Wilson.
The second conference was after the
cabinet meeting and the third will be
held when Palmer returns from the
capitol. where he went to testify be-
fore "A house committee.
Gompers is understood to be in COM
munication with miners officials who
want the Indianapolis injunction order

Palmer after the cabinet meeting said
I the injunction would be prosecuted un-
less the strike was called Off
Withdrawal of the strike order and
4 immediate vacating of the injunction
appeared to officials here as the one
way out Gompers promised a formal
statemGnt later today. Palmer said
z he could not talk until after his third
S conference with Gompers.
Il President Wilson's cabinet met to-
Z day to take up measures for ending
the coal miners strike.
After the cabinet meeting Palmer
said: 5s@.
The Injunction application will be
withdrawn when the strike order is re-
called. Samuel Gompers is waiting at
my office. ] presume We will discuss
this matter"
Official Washington following the
cabinet meeting, felt the strike would
be ended by tomorrow and that nego-
tiations would be resumed between the
workers and operators. This belief
was based upon what Palmer said.
No legal action other than an injunc-
tion against the mine workers officials
is contemplated, Palmer told the house
agriculture committee after his second
meeting with Gompers. He urged siS
months extension of the Lever food
control act under which the injunction
was asked.

Wet PETITION
Pleas for Injunctions to Re-
strain Enforcement of VOL
stead Prohibition Law Made
by New York Brewers.

New York, Nov Federal Judge
Hand had under advisement today Pc
titons by both brewers and distillers
for injunctions to restrain enforcement
of the Volstead prohibition law The
brewers were represented by Elihu
Root and William ID. Guthrie, the dis
tillers by Walter Nyes and Levi Cooke
of Washington. Both sides contended
that the emergency which rendered
war time prohibition constitutional had
passed. President Wilson'S veto of the
Volstead bill was cited as evidence of
the passing of this emergency and II
was contended that congress had not
acted in good faith in passing this bill
over his veto. The petition of the brew
ers, the second to come up, was argued
until late hour last evening
