even to the point of avoiding contact
with them in fashionable health re-

book by the Berlin Professor Eugene
Dnebrins, and was very provoked nj
this expression of hatred of the Jews,

MILLION ENGLISH MINERS EXPECTED
 TO QUIT TONIGHT
Means to Halt Strike Void of Results Late Last
 Night
SYMPATHY IS GIVEN
 TO THE GOVERMENT
Made to Restablish Food Ministry Believed Ser IOuSneSS to Be
 Offset

London, Oct. 15.-There was no signs late tonight of any intervention or mediation to avert the coal strike which, according to a decision of the miners delegates in conference thls morning goes into effect on Sat- urday night, taking from the mines more than 1,000,000 men. The cabi- net at a meeting today discussed and decided upon all necessary steps to protect the public services and the interests of the public in general. The fact that the government had had a long time to make prepara- tions has tended to give feeling of confidence to the people, Premier Lloyd George will remain in London over the weekend
 Emergency orders empowering the local authorities to take steps to econ- omize in the use of coal and light ing have been issued by the secre- tary of mines.
 The food ministry has been given given permission to resume partial rationing if it becomes necessary.
 Accumulate Coal.
 As the strike has been brewing for so long the authorities have accumu- lated stocks of coal, while private consumers have laid in supplies. Hence, unless the strike is unduly prolonged, or the railwaymen decide to join the miners, it is not expected the country will suffer seriously.
 Public sympathy appears to be en- tirely with the government. Many people concede that the miners are entitled to an increase in wages by virtue of the increased cost of liv- ing, but contend the men should have accepted the governments offer to submit the matter to an independent tribunal. There is no doubt nego- tiations will continue during the strike and the hope is expressed that something in the direction of a settlement may come from the re- assembling of parliament next Tues- day.
 In the course of speech after the miners conference today, Robert Smillie, the miners leader, express ed regret that the strike had been forced on the miners through, the "obduracy of the government and their unwillingness to recognize the. equity of the miners demands"
 The executive of the transport workers federation, has called . meeting for Monday, and confer ence of the rail men and the trans- port workers will be held later on the same day to consider the atti- tude toward the miners strike of the two other brahches of the triple alliance"
 It is probable petrol and perish- able foodstuffs will be carried on pas- senger trains.

Roosevelt Brands
 Statement False

Marion, Ind, Oct. 15.--The state ment of thirty one prominent Amer jeans announcing their intention to vote for Seator Harding, because of his position on the league of na- tions, which was published in today's papers, was branded as "designedly false and misleading" by Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an address here tonight which closed three-day campaign in Indiana.
 Repeatedly the Republican charge had been made that Governor Cox and are demanding the acceptance of the league as fashioned at Yer sailles without the crossing of a 't' or the dotting of an f', and repeatedly we have branded this as untrue. In almost every speech I have made in the last two months have stated that we are not only willing but pre- fer to put in black and white in our ratification of the treaty provision that nothing contained therein shall be in any way superior to our consti- tuition or in any way interfere with the rights of congress to declare war or send our soldiers overseas"

 Officials
