No Violence Today.
LONDON, Oct 21.-"Unless nego-
|tiations to end the coal strike are in
|stituted within twenty-fOur hours, the
issue will be between the government
and the working classes" Secretary
Robert Williams, of the transport
workers said today.
Williams made the statement follow
ing the morning session Of transport
workers delegates. He is recognized
as one of the radical leaders.
The attitude of the transport work
ers was more belligerent than that OF
railway workers who adjourned a
morning meeting without a decision.
Railway workers were said to plan
avoiding vote on the question Of q
sympathetic strike until every chance
of settlement had been exhausted.
Failure of the government and miners
to agree will mean a strike, it was
said.
Williams statement was taken to
mean his organization was 1ncllned
to force action. He did not say wheth-
er he had assurance other labor bodies
would follow in division, the govern
ment and the working classes.
Aside from the meetings of the two
unions allied with the miners in the
triple alliance, there were few devel-
opments in the strike today. Lack or
coal continued to shut down factories
and throw workers out of employment,
but there were no signs Of violence.

maniac, perhaps moral degenerate,
who lures women by sundry wiles,
attacks and then strangles. was
sought by the police today in their
attempts to bring to justice the man
who murdered Mrs. Ruby Allen, OF
Mobile, Alabama, here yesterday.
Two men identified the body of the
girl found murdered in the fKnicker-
booker hotel yesterday afternoon as
that of Mrs. Allen One of the men
was VIM T. Diggins, chauffeur, also
from Mobile, who said he had known
the pretty young woman in the
southern city He was deeply affected
when he viewed the body.
Police arrived at the theory that
the murder was done by some mani
acal stranger, after they had con-
ferred with detectives from Pied
mont, Calf, who have been working
for two months, more or less Quietly,
ION the murder of Miss Ulla Carlson,
Piedmont housenlaid, who was
strangled to death. Piedmont police,
until yesterday, were almost ready
to lay the murder at the door .of the
notorious blue bedIu WdlSou' NJ"
serving for life in San Quentin, Cali
fornia, penitentiary after confessing
some ten murders. But the killing
sof Mrs. Allen was followed by their
announcements that the circumstances
of the two cases led them to see a
possibility that the same person
might have committed both crimes.
Man Found Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-The
print of a woman's slipper, remark
able for its tiny size, in the sands of
the ocean beach near the San Mateo
county line, was the only clue on
which detectives could work today in
their efforts to solve the puzzle pre-
sented by the finding of the body OF
a man, a bullet hole in the head,
living dead on the beach.
A study Of the scene revealed the
track Of a man and woman walking
about two feet apart, leading from
the nearby cliff to within thirty feet
of the waters edge. There the
tracks merged into tangle of foot
prints which showed plainly there
had been a struggle. Then the mans
tracks led down to the waters edge,
but the woman's were lost. Where
she went from there could not be
traced.
