COAL INDUSTRY IN
 GREAT BRITAIN IS AT A STANDST|LL
Nation Apparently Facing Period of Industrial Chaos
 UnequalIed Even Dur
 ing the World War
By Associated Press

London, October 1.-The coal industry today was at standstill. After months of negotiations between the miners and the government, in which neither side was willing to concede the crucial points. the pits are closed, Great Britain seem- lngly is facing days of industrial chaos. unequaled even during the world war. Except for the ptimpmen and other en- ployes who were to keep the mines free from water and otherwise in good con- dition for resumption of work when the strike is ended. all the mines were idle today.
 Sunday, however in the view of a.
 large portion of the populace, was not an apt day on which to form concise jrdgment of the potentialities of the strike. When the men dropped their picks Saturday night the question rose as to how many of them on Monday again would be ready to go into the diggings
 A feeling of pessisrnsm pervades. uot- withstanding the fact that Premier Lloyd George has stated everything will be done to keep the great industries of the country going Tomorrow probably will show whether the railway men and the transport workers are to join the miners

HAYS CLAIMS 378
 ELECTORAL VOTES
Says Forward March to Re-
 publican Victory Is Moving On lrresistabIy
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 17.--Senator Hardins
 IS assured of SIS electoral votes and will receive at least ss5. Will Hays, chairman or the republican national committee. told newspaper men today in an informal talk over reports now being received at re- publican headquarters here from which a formal forecast of the presidential con- test is made
 After spending the day talking by teie- phone to campaign managers in every western state, Mir. Hays said he was con vinced that Senator Harding would carry every northern and every western state and had good chance in Tennes- see Oklahoma and other border states
 Western states which heretofore have been classed as doubtful now definitely are republican, he said
 In the senatorial race Hays says yha. the republicans would hold everything they now have and would gain by car rying Maryland, South Dakota, Ken lucky, Colorado, California, Nevada. Ari- zona and Oregon. Every republican sen- ator running for reelection is certain of victory, he said.
 In formal statement issued earlier in the day Mir. Hays declared that the for ward march to republican victory moves on irresistably."
 The reason,' said the statement, '.is summed is two words-sAmerica first. That mems moro than the preser- vatiun of our constitutional independence gairst S,pes government abroad It sresns more than the protection of con stifutional fsinctiors against White House theft of au$qrify at home. It means thai tie pressing domestic problems of America first are in the public mind, and that these domestic problems are again to have progressive and construc. tive and effective attention at Washing ton.
 We must and shall do our whole duty by the worlds peace-with an eye to America first But the electorate re- fuses to forget that the Wilson league, a contract for international war parading in the clothes of peace, is only one of score of utter failures and betrayals which Novembers S solemn referendum must settle. It refuses to keep it's eyes riveted on Europe. It refuses to ignore the driving domestic problems, close to every hearthstone before the democratic party has stood impotent and in confessed bankruptcy.
 .Tt is thinking of America first and all the accumulated work in Washington which cannot much longer be denied ef- fective attention if America first is to last"
