ROME. September Italian naval
units which had been stationed at
Spezia and Venice now are Steaming
for southern Adriatic waters in full
war status and eight transports are
held in readiness in case there are
further eventualities.
The Italian government has official
ly Announced the occupation of Corfu
probably will be the limit of Italian
advances for enforcement of sane
tions and that there consequently
probably will be short breathing
spell.
On the island seized by the Italians
are stationed four American and Can
adian relief workers under the COM
mand Of Col. stephen Lowe of St.
Louis.
The Near East Relief also has 1000
orphan children quartered in the pal
ace formerly occupied by Kaiser Will

There is an air of satisfaction in
Rome that the government has been
firm and prompt in its action.
TelesramS pour in upon Premier
MussolIni from all kinds of patriotic
clubs and associations praising the
government for its decisive course.
In some quarters it is urged that
Greece make quick settlement to
avoid an increase in the amount of
Italian reparatiUns which would be
caused if armed occupation We're

sumptuousness and laviShness and ex-

contrast to the grimy shafts lert
few hours before. but the miners
seemed to enjoy the change.
In the executive session of Friday
afternoon Gov. Pinchot fought for
more than five. hours with the repre-
sentatives of miners and operators
trying to force some sort OF agree
ment AS a reward to his volunteer
labors first he had the miners and
operators in joint session and then he
had the miners and operators In
separate session. Once again he had
them in joint session, and still again
in separate session.
No Sign of Agreement.
But it was all to no avail. They
would not agree. They appeared to
be looking for points of disagree
ments rather than points of agree
ment Undoubtedly it was an eS-
asperating experience for the govern
or, but it was not unlocked for by
those who have followed the negotia-
tions of the miners and operators for
the last two months.
1t was apparent from the Begin
ming of these struggles that there
would have to be cessation of coal
mining before either side could be,
brought into an agreement. GoN
Pinchot felt that he might avoid the
strike. Even as late as Thursday
morning he was confident the minerS
could be induced to recall the ordersM
for a suspension. But there is one
point on which the miners are ada
mant. They will not work under any
sort of truce. Truces are not in their
line. They work under signed con-
tract or not at all.
The friends of Gov. Pinchot today
insisted that he was far from beaten
man. They said he still had the
Weapon of "pitiless publicity at his
command, and that he would begin
stumping the state at once to induce
the miners and operators to agree to
an amicable settlement of their dis
pute.
Could Seize Mines.
In a grave emergency, it is pointed
out, the governor could seize the
mines in this state and work them.
The Pennsylvania state constitution
confers these mergency powers upon
the chief executive. But IL is agreed

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa, September l.
It was virtually admitted here today. by
those in closest touch with the situa-
tion that the replies made by the an
tracite miners and operators to the pro-
posas of Go. Pinchot were ad-
dressed to the American public rather
than to the governor

public sympathy. The miners feel they
are downtrodden. They lose five hun
dred men a year by death in the mines.

saw their demands are reasonable and
could be met by the operators.
The operators say they are the only
nublic safeguard They declare the
miners are not entitled to any more
money, and that if any more money is
given them it must be passed along to
an already overburdened public. Today
the operators were even more convinced
than on Thursday that under the
Pinchot proposals the increase in the
nrice of anthracite to the consumer
would run from 81 to $3.50 ton. The
operators also are insisting that there
should be at least a four-year contract,

miners good is the public good. The
onerator is acclaiming that he, ana ne

that the operators are aroused to the

LEAGUE AT CRISIS

Delegates See Body on Trial

Dispute Now.

GENEVA, September 1.-The league
of nations is at the crisis of its
career. This was the feeling today
of all the delegates to the fourth as
sembly and the council members as
they heard the news that Greece had
decided to appeal to the league to
settle her differences with Italy.
The general opinion is that the
league is on trial. but every one is
confident that it will be able to effect
peaceful and just settlement, not
wlthstanding the precipitate action
or Italy in occupying Corfu.
A communication from Greece sub
mitting the crisis to the league was
received today at the league head
quarters. thus automatically bringing
the conflict before the council of the
league.
Council Meets Today.
The council has been called to
meet al pm. today to consider the
Greek communication and it is ex-
pected that the Greek and Italian
representatives will be asked to ap-
pear and present their arguments.
NJ Salandra of Italy, who is a
member of the council, said he had
not examined the Greek document,
but had no reason to think his gov
ernment would object TO the council
considering the matter
The procedure to be followed will
be for the secretary general to call
upon Italy to file her reply. 1t was
not anticipated that the council
would be IN d position to take up
the question before the lapse of sew
eral days.
Much depends also upon the atti-
tude assumed by Italy, who is under

Optimism Prevails.
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, September l.
There was an optimistic feeling
through the anthracite coal regions
of Pennsylvania that the suspension
of mining, which became effective to-
day, would not be long continued.
For the second time within a year
and a half production of anthracite
is suspended. while the leaders of
the union miners and the representa-
tives of the coal companies struggle
at Harrisburg to reach an agreement
on a new wage scale.
A year ago the miners returned to
work after five months of idleness
under a contract which expired last
midnight. a year ago the miners
wanted the contract TO run to next
April, but the operators insisted on
August 81. Under the peace proposal
to end the present contest the op-
orators are asking for a long-term
contract if they must accede to the
10 per cent wage advance suggested
by Gov pinchot.
Suspension Complete.
Reports from the anthracite fields
man and boy is expected to refrain
from work until the differences are
adjusted So far NO company has an
nounced it's intention to mine coal
while the unions suspension order is
in effect
If the suspension is not lifted as
a result of DEVELOPMENTS in Harris
burg today the mine workers would
not resume operations before Tues
day. as Monday is Labor Gay.
About $4,000 men and BOYS are
idle The only men at work today
were about 1000 maintenance men.
1t is their duty to keep the mines
free of water and gas and to pre-
vent cave-inS.
The feeling that the suspension
may not be long continued is shared
not only by many mine workers but
by company officials. This is indi-
Gated when no preparations We're
