Action To Be Taken Today
Order Expected
Monday
"CHECK-OFF" REASON
Walkout To Affect All Companies
Refusing Compliance With This
Provision.

Pittsburgh, Nov. 4.-Forty thou
sand union miners in the Pittsburgh
bituminous coal district will be called
out on strike next Monday morning
if the executive board of District No
5, United Mine Workers Of America,
tomorrow acts on the advice of Pres
ident Robert r. Gibbons. The strike
will be confined to the coal compa-
nies which have notified Mr.. Gibbons
that they will no longer observe the
"check-off" provision in the union
scale.
Mr.. Gibbons position was outlined
in q message sent to John l.. Lewis,
president of United Mine Workers
Of Aemrica, at Indianapolis, late to-
day, in which he said:
"a have decided to call meeting Of
the district executive board tomor>
row Friday, November 4, at which
time propose to request the board
to issue a general strike order to be
effective Monday, November 7, at the
properties of all coal companies who
refuse to comply with section 26 Of
our district agreement" The sec
tion referred to is that dealing with
the 'check-off.'
President Gibbons in his message
to Mr.. Lewis quoted in full letter
he received from R. w. Gardiner,
commissioner of the Pittsburgh Coal
Producers Association, yesterday, in
which Mr.. Gardiner notified him
that the association would abide by
the provisions Of the injunction is
sued by Judge A. B. Anderson, at
indianapolis October 81 against con>
tinuance of the "check-off" system.
Mr.. Gibbons added that because
this broke the working agreement
between District No. 5 and the pro
ducers' association he would call the
executive( committee together and
recnes- it 10 issue the strike order.
indianapolis, Nov. Ain answer
to the accusation of Frank Earring
ton. president Of the Illinois miners,
that officers of the international
union were trying to "pass the buck"
on calling strike, President John
L. Lewis, Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, today wired Mr.
harrington that detailed instruction
would be sent him as soon as Illinois
operators declare their intention to
discontinue the "check-off." 1t was
authoritatively stated that the in
structions would contain a strike or
der. 49,.
Six mines were idle in Illinois to-
day, according to reports received
at headquarters here, the men not
having received here, the men not
remain at work, officials said. and
it was asserted that they would re-
turn to work tomorrow.

Main Features of the Pro-
posal Have Been
Decided Upon
PLAN IS SINCERE
Other Nations Are Expected To
Place Sea Requirements 1t High
Figure.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The policies
and program of the American dele
cation to the Armament Conference
are beginning to assume definite
outline, and, if the expectations OF
official Washington are realized, the
opening day Of the conference will
see q sequence of developments some
think like this:
Presentation at the outset of a
concrete American plan for far
reaching reduction of naval arma-
ment.
Consideration along with this plan
Of such troublesome problems of the
Far East as may naturally project
themselves into the picture.
Meantime an effort by the United
States to keep the negotiations in
the open, so that public opinion
may exert its pressure toward prac-
tical accomplishment.
Salient features of the American
naval armaments proposal already
have been established and, although
details remain to be fixed, there IS
reason to believe the reductions sug-
gcsted will be sweeping enough to
convince the whole world that the
United States meant business when
it called the powers into conference.
1t would cause no surprise if the
leading naval powers found it neces-
sary to submit the plan Of this gov,
crnmcnt to long and careful study
before they determine on their
course of action. Should the reduc-
tions proposed prove unacceptable, 1t
is believed likely that the American
delegates, having once taken the mi
tiativc, would invite the other powers
to present in their turn some con-
crete counter proposal.
All the evidences surrounding the
conferences of.th American Big -Four
with their navl advisers have pointed
to inclusion Of a set of maximum re-
duct!on figures in the plan to be LAID
on the table by this Government. No
official has been willing to reveal
anv details Of these figures, but
there has been apparent desire to
law bare 1T the very outset OF the
negotiations the full extent to '%hlch
the United States would be wiling
to 20 in scaling down the worlds
naval armament.

feel considerable embarrassment be-
cause of the increasing propaganda
being spread by we'll meaning but
misguided individuals and organiZa-
tions that want the United States
to enter upon program of tiisarma-
ment. This propaganda is becoming
more pronounced as the time ap-
proaches for the calling to order Of
the conference on the limitation of
armaments. Several organizations
are already at work in Washington
and there are indications that when
November II arrives the capital will
be flooded by such agitators It is
expected that the early stages of the
conference will attract pacifists of
every stripe; intent on obtaining re-

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes

said:
"The law gives us no authority to
regulate the prices charged for malt
or spirituous liquors. There appears
to be nothing that we can do to pre-
vent extortion. We assume that the
better class Of druggists will not seek
to inhict extortion upon the sick, for
whom beer may be prescribed"
