WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Considcra- :
tion Is being given by the State and
War Department to a suggestion that
General Pershng pay good will
visit within q few months TO South
American countries, 1t was said today
by officials of the two departments.
Final decision on the matter has not
been reached, it was added. and until
that time the cnrntrics to be visited
and the time of the trip will not be
determined.
Visits to the United States have
been made by number OF officials
and diplomats from South American
countries since the war and officials
here are known to have given consid-
cradle thought to a proper return OF
such visits.
The fact that the name of General
Pcrshing ns leader of the American
forces in France became well-known
in South America, led to the sugges-
tion that he was extremely we'll fitted
for the return of such courtesies
Should General Pershing be asked to
make the visits, II is understood he
will do so before retiring from the
army.

the miners were working for wages
far less than those specified by the
commission, and declared every at
