Summons Miners and OPERA

Plans formulated.

international Nerrn service.


q HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 25.-'
Governor Pinchot Of Pennsylvania
today sent kilograms to the dead
locked anthracite operators and
miners at Atlantic City summon
ing them into conference here on,
Monday.
This action was the first step In
the governors program to bring
about settlement Of the differ
ences which threaten to bring
about shutdown in the hard coal
fields on September 1.
His Plans Formulated.
Meantime, It has become known
that the Pinchot plans for dealing
with the warning factions are vir@
tually formulated.
Declaring It to be his belief that
1.-THE last word has not been said,"'
Pinchot addressed identical tele-
grams to the four operators and
miners chiefs, requesting them to
meet with him at the State capitol!
at IL noon, Monday.
"The safety and welfare Of the
people of Pennsylvania and the
other anthracite using States make
it of vital interest that mining
shall go on" the governor told
the operators and miners. This is
my justification for asking you to
come"

Richards, w. w. Inglis and Alb.
Jessup, for the operators, and to
John L. Lewis, Thomas Kennedy,
Rinaldo Cappellino and c. J. Col
den, for the miners, was as tol.
lows:
"win you meet me at the CAPT
toll in Harrisburg on Monday.
August 81, at IL noon, to consider
how the best interests Of the
miners and the operators and gen.
eral public, both in Pennsylvania and
| in other States, can be protected by
| insuring the continued mining Of
anthracite? I do-not believe the
last word has yet been said.
1.-THE safety and welfare of the
people of Pennsylvania and the
other anthracite using States
makes 1t of vital importance that
mining shall go on. This is my
justification for asking you to
come. I am sending this telegram
also to your three colleagues and
to the four representatives Of the
operators (miners)."
The machinery of q powerful State
government was set into action to-
day by Governor Pinchot in an ef-
fort to avert q shut down in the
hard coal fields on September 1. !,
Every weapon and artifice at the;
command Of the State of Penn
slyvania is to be employed in a.
final effort to bring the two fac:
tons together. If necessary, Cow
ernor Pinchot intimated, the "big |

Early today Pinchot plunged into
a series of conferences with his
aides. State Attirney General
George Woodruff was one Of the
first to visit the governor. Wood
ruff has been examining the State
health laws with a view Of ascer-
tanning what possible action could
be taken should there be a strike
with subsequent suffering from
lack of coal.
Secretary Of Mines Joseph Walsh
was another early caller at the
governors suite in the State
Capitol. Walsh formerly mine in

with every operator and miner chief
in the State, and is counted on to

For two days the correspondent
bombarded Wilhelm's home with
calls and written requests for an
interview. All were sharply turned
down by Major Muldner Won Muel-

Finally the reporter resorted 10

little village forge where the exile
two or three times weekly spends
a few hours forging horse shoes
which the village smith sells for
souvenirs.

sport shirt. He proved affabe
and courteous and talked with utter
frankness. He denied he had pur-
chased property near the German
frontier. adding: "But IL could

man came back and told her Eaton

and went to the head of the stairs
bur her steps slowed there and
stopped. She knew that the blind
mans thought In regard to Eaton had
taken some immense stride; but she
did not know what that stride had
been. or what was coming now when
her father saw Eaton.

no Importance TO II: II was only a
black button from a woman's glove
one OF her own, perhaps. which she
had dropped without noticing. He
tossed 1t indIfrerently toward the open
fireplace as he came toward her.

He looked at her intenuy for an
instant and seemed to detect some
strangeness In her manner and to
draw himself together; then he fol
lowed her up the stairs.

previous, which had caused his death

seemed almost Inevitable. therefore,
that the attack on me must have been

II found that a young man-your.
