Indications for
Settlement of the
CoalStrike Good
Miners Representatives Con.
fer With Lloyd George and
Cabinet Members-Nego-
tiations Kept Secret.
BY the Associated Press.

London, Oct. 24.-Premier Lloyd
George, cabinet members and menl-
bers of the striking coal miners. con-
ierred for three hours in the pre-
rlier's official esidence in Downing
street today. After the miners dele
gates had departed the cabinet mem
hers continued in session with Lloyd
George. Frank Hodges, miners rep.
resentative, said the discussions
would be continued.
Later the miners executive body
went into conference, which lasted
until 4:30 p. M, and then adjourned
until tomorrow. The conversations
with Mr.. Lloyd George will be re-
sumed tomorrow, it was announced
Hope seemed to prevail that there
would be a settlement of the coal
strike as result of the renewal OF
the direct negotiations between the
miners and the government Mean
while, neither side has disclosed the
nature of these negotiations, but.
according to unofficial reports, Pre-
mier Lloyd George suggested some
new formula which would satisfy the
government, that if two shillings
advance in wages was conceded 1t
would be accompanied by an in
creased output. There seems to be
q strong belief that the full execu-
tive committee of the miners fedora
ton will meet the government with
in few days on basis which can
be submitted to the miners for ac-
ceptance or rejection.

Preacher On Hunger
Strike In Effort to
Convert His Daughter

Chicago Tribune-O Omaha Bee Leased wirs
, Lexington. Oct. 24.-Kentucky
has a unique hunger strike. The
Rev. Joseph Woodbridge, who has
ministerial charge in the Russell
county mountains, has not eaten
for p days, and he said he would
never eat again unless his younger
daughter, school teacher, be-
came converted to religion and
joined a church.
The Rev. Mr.. Woodbridge is one
of the best known ministers in the
hill country. Six weeks ago he
started revival at the Denmark
charge near his home. While 9TH
er converts came up the sawdust
trail, his daughter refused to hear
his pleas. Then he announced
publicly his intention OF ceasing
to cat unless she, too, was con-
verted. She paid no attention to
the declaration. but continued to
teach school and stay out of
church.
He is barely able to walk and
has to support himself by various
means to walk to his pulpit. Large
congregations are gathering night
ly to watch the progress of his
strike, as we'll as to hear his SER
mons.
Meanwhile the daughter, unruf-
fled, apparently by the unusual sit
uation, continues to hold her
school sessions. She has made no
public announcement of her in
tentions should her father continue
to starve himself.

Navy Secretary
In Omaha to Talk
OnLeague Pact
Josephus Daniels Solemnly
Asserts He Believes Gov.
ernor Cox Will Be the
Next President.

Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
United States navy, arrived here yes
terday afternoon from Lincoln to
deliver campaign address tonight in
the Auditorium.
The secretary is for the league OF
nations, for the Wilson league of
nations, and he said so.
If we enter the league we will not
have to maintain a large navy; if
we don't 60 into the league, we will
have to maintain larger navy" was
one of the statements made by the
secretary.
He asserted with solemnity that
during his recent trip he observed
an increasing sentiment for Govern
or James M. Cox of Ohio and he be-
lieves that Governor Cox will be
elected. He explained that he was
a good Methodist and would not
say anthing that he did not believe.
Explains Price Decline.
"The cause of declining prices for
agricultural products" he said, "is
due to conditions in Europe, where
the nations have not demoblized
their armies and thus do not have
money with which to buy our pro.
ducts"
Secretary Daniels has a welcome
for newspaper men. He stated that
he is the owner and editor of the
News and Observer at Raleigh, N. c.
One of the callers at his suit in
Hotel Fontenelie yesterday was
James c. Dahlman, United States
marshal. Marshal Dahlman met the
secretary the first time in Washing
ton, 1898. Mr.. Dahlman wanted
somebody to show him around the
capital city and he Glanced to meet
Joscphus Daniels, who took the
Omaha man to Hoke Smith and than
to other notables. Marshal Dahlman
and Secretary Daniels were together
IN Chicago during the democratic ma
tional convention in 1896. when w.
]. Bryan was nominated the first
time.
Woman Wants Waterway.
Another caller yesterday was
Denver woman, whose name the Sec
retary did not remember. This wom-
an wanted the secretary to take all
in the improvement of the
Missouri river, to make the Old
Muddy navigable.
I'm few years women are going
to take front place in the affairs
ct the nation and men won't have
so much to say" commented the
secretary.
He doubted whether a woman will
ever serve as secretary of the navy.
The secreta-y's last visit to
Omaha was four yars ago when he
attended function at the Chamber
of Commerce.

Recalls Sugar Scandal

An attentive audience endured the
chilly air at Fifteenth and Douglas
streets Saturday night, from s to
after 1880, to hear republican
speakers present their obejticon to
the Wilson league of nations and
to offer facts and figures which
proved democratic extravaganza and
inefficiency.
During part of the evening there
were three meetings in progress
within the half block and the grave
and gay alterrated, with hecklers
adding zest now and then to the oc-
casion.
T. J. Mcclure, one Of the speakers

He paid his devoirs to Secretary of

that, "He is no more fitted to be

wished to be considered as a paci-,

a. G. o. P. Split in 1912.
''What about 1922" asked a man
in the crowd.
"I'll come to that in a minute"
Mr.. Howell replied.
The speaker explained that in 1912

declared there can be no agreement

wish, with, or without reservations,
to enter the league" the statement
said.
"Mr. Harding has said if elected,

Marion, O., Oct. 24.-Accusing
the democratic party of failure to
place its issues squareiy and fairly
before the people, Senator Harding
asked, in statement tonight, that
his opponent answer numerous
charges he has brought against
them.
At the same time he rcstated his
own opinion on various issues, and
declared that in his public utterances
he had proposed definite construc-
tive policy ITO bring our people ou.
CT the jungle OF mismanagement.
Extravaganza, unpreparedness foi
both war and peace, over-ccntraliza'
ton Of power, unnecessary taxation.
unsound industrial policies and
"grotesque inefficiency" were among
the accusations which Mr.. Harding
said had not yet been answered by
the democrats. As to the league Of
<,tions, he said he was wholly
against the democratic program, but
believed there was "full expectation
of becoming a member of wise as
sociation of nations"
The senator's statement, addressed
to "the American people" followsi
