Dock Operators At Duluth
Declare New Order Will
Make 1t Impossible For
The Northwest To Obtain
Enough Coal For Winter.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 2S.-1ndefinite
suspension of the priority order for
the movement of bituminous coal TO
Lake Erie points for trans-shipment
TO the northwest. announced yester-
day by the interstate commerce com-
mission, is considered by the Duluth
dock operators to add to the serious
ness OF the coal situation in the north
west.
The order, it is claimed, virtually
makes 1t impossible for this territory
to obtain sufficient supplies before
the close of navigation to last until
next spring. Accumulation of coal on
Lake Erie docks is admitted, but it
is claimed to be due to the fact that
some mine operators have been de-
manding higher prices. than dock
operators here could afford to pay.
Only 100000 tons of coal were on
the docks at the Head of the Lakes
on October 25, as compared with
100000 at tho same period last
the Dock Operators Association, and
the fuel situation in the northwest
for the coming winter is regarded as
desperate.
1--WE are being forced to turn down
orders every day and many of the
towns in North Dakota are suffering
for want of supplies. Unless COM
plete change in the situation comes
about it looks as if supplies on all
the docks will be exhausted by mid
winter" said Charles Beuglet. city
sales manager for a large fuel CON-
pany.
Although the outlook for bitunin-
Gus coal supplies is considered seri-
Gus. dealers are hopeful regarding the
anthracite situation. Receipts are
larger than last year and substan-
tial tonnage has been conserved, but
it is not sufficient to make up the
shortage in soft coal supplies.

REPRESENTATIVES
OF MINERS MEET
CABINET OFFICIALS

London. Oct 27.-Members of the
meeting early this morning Of repre-
sentatives of the miners to resume ne
gotiations for a settlement of the min
ers' strike. The call for the session Of
the cabinet was a result of the sudden
termination of yesterdays conference.
at which it was confidently expected
an agreement with the miners would
be reached.
Both sides take a very serious view
of the difficulties yet to be overcome.
1t is the opinion that the hitch in
the negotiations concerns the ratio to
be maintained between wages and the
revenues derived from coal, but the
precise form of the new demand,
which seems to have emanated from
delegates of Welch miners is stated
differently in various quarters.

MINERS STRIKE
IN ENGLAND HAS
BEEN SETTLED
Ballot must be Taken Among
Miners Before Men Re-
turn to Work.
SETTLEMENT is &
FOR SHORT TIME
Workers Will Make Effort
To Get Largest Output of
Coal, Says Report.

London. Oct. 2S.-tBy The Associat-
ed Press)-The strike of coal miners
throughout England and Wales was
settled this afternoon. but the settle
ment is contingent on ballot of the
miners. A
Frank Hodges. a member Of the
miners executive today announced:
I'VE have got terms from the gov
ernment which the executive commit
tee is submitting to ballot of the
men for their judgment. The executive
is recommending their adoption as a
temporary measure until an annual
wage board is appointed"
The terms which the executive body
of the miners is recommending to the
men, provide for an advance of two
shilling per shift for persons of IS
years old. with corresponding ad-
vance for younger miners. The miners
pledge themselves to cooperate to the
fullest extent to obtain an increased
ment similar to that Of Mr.. Hodges,
adding that the ballot Of the men
would be taken Immediately.
The coal mining dispute which has
tied up all the colleries in Great
Britain for nearly two weeks was pro-
visionally settled this afternoon when
revised settlement formula was
found which proved acceptable to the
government, the coal mine owners
and the miners executive officers. It
remains for all the miners to decide
by ballot whether they will accept or
reject the new terms, and vote will
be taken Immediately.
The terms provide that the increas-
cd wages will remain operative until
permanent wage board is estab-
lished. which will be operative by the
end of March.
The additional cost of the miners
claims will come. out of the excess
revenues obtained from the export
coal.
The output for last September is
the average struck which will influ-
ence the rise Or fall Of a sliding scale
which, is to operate to the extent of
six. pence reduction in wages il the
output does not come up to the Sep

Single Cross Will
Not Do, SAYS Hilton

! st. Paul. Oct. 2s.-A person can
not vote a straight party ticket by
using a single cross mark.
Attorney General c. l.. Hilton. in
answer to numerous inquiries from
persons who have been accustomed
to vote in this manner in other
states, today issued the following
statement:
Remember, you cannot vote
straight party ticket by using a sin
gle K mark. You must put your X
mark opposite the name of each per-
son for whom YOU wish to vote, ex-
cept that a single x mark opposite
your presidential candidate is a vote
for the entire group of presidential

TO RETIRE NOTES.

Picking, Sept. 15.-(By Mail.)-The
cabinet has authorized the ministry of
finance to issue bonds to the extent of
s6U,000,0 900 to be used for retirement
of deprecated currency Of the Bank
of China and the Bank of Communi-
cations. Since these banks were
granted a moratorium at the time of
Yuan Shih- kai's mOnarchial fiascO,
the notes have been exchangeable
only at 40 to 60 per cent of their
face value. 1t is the plan now to, re-
tire all of these notes in exchange for
bonds secured by customs revenue
surplus, bearing six per cent interest
and payable over a period Of six years
from March. 1921.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. Ex-senator
Harding will carry Ohio by decisive
majority, but it looks as if the state
will elect a democratic governor.
If James M. Cox were running for
governor again, he probably would
carry Ohio.
AS a presidential candidate, Cox still
has a host of friends, but the demo-
cratic party on national affairs Is un-
popular.
The vote is not so much for Harding,
but against the Wilson administration.
1t is not against Wilson the man, but
the Wilson cabinet and acts OF the
Wilson administration.
No other conclusion seems possible
after a careful survey of this state.
Indeed there's swing on toward Cox
at the present moment. Senator Hard
ing has been steadily losing ground
since his Des Moines speech and his
unfortunate encounter with President
Wilson on the difference between a
Representative of France and a
spokesman" But the drift toward
Cox, while noticeable, has not ap-
preached the sweeping proportions OF
a tide or even wave. It's a surface
drift
Northern Ohio is for Harding. This
city, which is normally democratic and
which helped Wilson materially when
he carried Ohio. is doubtful. The coun-
.ty is also doubtful. The word doubt
ful'' in these instances Is the differ
ence between a narrow majority for
Cox or Harding and an overwhelming
majority for Harding. Most people ex-
pect the latter.
The reader who is not familiar with
Ohio politics can judge for himself
what the situation is when he discov-
ers that in democratic centers like To-
ledo and Cleveland. the two principal
northern Ohio cities, the advantage
lies with Harding. Moreover Cox cam
not expect anything In Hamilton coun-
ty, which includes Cincinnati, district
that helped him win the governorship
in 1913. s8sf
S.It seems to be a case OF anti-Wilson
ana not anti Cox SO far as this section
& of Ohio is concerned. The expectation
Qt q change is scarcely less strong than
the desire for change in government
psrsonnel at Washington.
Some Of my democfatic friends here
whose judgment in the past has been
accurate, whose viewpoint is dispas-
saonate and whose acquaintance is
IarSe, insist that the whole thing Is a
reaction from the war.
