Hats to Wear For the Autumn The vogue for black is nowhere stronger than in millinery. You may. choose a very dull black or a very shiny black. There are also lovely bright colors to re- lieve the sombreness of your black gown or dark coat. They run from fuchsia red to purple. Spanish effects are most pop ular, while hats showing ostrich feathers and colorful ornaments are very numerous-and very smart.
 You'll marvel at their high qual- ity and extremely low prices. $5, S7. 50, $1O, S12.5O

Charles G. Dawes, OF Chicago. chairman

that a director general assume charge

provision would permit the lease or pur-

enactment of the new laws Secretary
Mellon of the treasury shall issue orders
to the heads OF the public health and

TO CUT PAY
(ey The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, April AFTER denying
a petition of the New York Central
railroad for permission to make a pro-
visional cut in the pay of unskilIed
labor, effective April I, the railroad
labor board today announced that a
further hearing of all requests for
wage reductions would be held on
April 18.
The hearing will determine whether
a permanent reduction in the wages
of unskilled labor may be made.
Twenty-six roads which have filed
appeals for lower wage schedules in
the last 80 days are named in the
hearing dOcketed today. Other roads
who present similar claims will also
be included in the hearing.
The, railroad recently requested per-
mission to put cuts of from II to 81
per cent into effect on April 1. The
dispute was taken to the labor board
after the railroada and the employees
had conferred.
The dispute between the New York
Central and the unskilled labor en-
pIoyes over permanent reduction in
wages will be heard on April 18 in
have been filed by other railroads
A resolution passed by the board in
connection with the New York Cen
trail states that the board will also
take up other carriers disputes at
that time.
Twenty five other railroads have
filed petitions for common labor wage
reductions within the last 80 days.
Each side will be given eight hours to
present it's argument in the combined
hearing.
Evidence also may be presented in
writing. The board deemed it advis-
able to consolidate the hearing on the
requests of all 26 roads in order to
save time inasmuch as it was expected
that the arguments in each one would
be similar.

bringing renewed prospects that the
grave industrial crisis will be averted.
lie announced in the house of commons
tonight the willingness of the govern
ment to participate in a conference to
discuss the question of pumping before
other matters were considered.
Informal conferences continued
throughout the evening, moderates like
Mr.. Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Arthur
Henderson and John Robert Clynes,
working hard in an endeavor to induce
the miners TO relent on the question of
pumping, and 1t was supposed that the
whole question was turning on this slen-
der hope
Premier Lloyd George had been absent
during the latter hours of the debate on
the situation, but returned TO the house
unexpectedly at eleven o'clock and in
formed the members that the government
had agreed to course, which IL is be-
lieved practically certain that the miners

owners and miners to discuss with the
government the difficulty relative TO
pumping the mines before touching upon
the question OF wages and other. matters
involved in the demands of the men,
What steps exactly had led up to this
change of front are unknown as yet
Arthur Henderson who rose TO reply to
the premier was clearly nonplussed. He
had, he said, TO express regret that the
premier had not given notice of such
an important statement, as Mr.. Thomas,
secretary of the national union OF rail-
road men, to whose suggestion 1t was
apparently due, and other leaders had
gone home.
As he had explained earlier the miners
federation would have preferred to open
the conference without conditions on
either side, but he had not had an OPP
portunity to consult the federation since
the afternoon therefore he conld not
assume responsibility I'm the matter. He
thought the only safe line would be for
the prime minister TO put his statement
into a letter to the officials for consid-
Grafton.
The organizations composing the triple
alliance held no further meetings tonight;
they are apparently holding hands until
tomorrow. The board OF trade issued an
official report of today's negotiations for
tho enlightenment of the public. The
report sets forth the arguments of both
sides, and, concluding with a strong re-
pudiation OF the accusation that the gov
ernment is engaged in general attack
on wages, says:
Such charge is as monstrous as II is
unfounded. The government and COM
munity alike are desirous that the best
wages should be paid in every industry
that such industry can afford"

party called upon its members to sup
