the flower gardens in the rear of the
White House.
With the arrival of cooler weather,
after that long hot spell the flowers
and bushes and. in fact. everything
growing in these beautiful grounds,
have shown immediate improvements.
The large rose garden, with its bor-
der of lockwood green's and gravel
paths, through which the President
walks to and from the Executive Of
fee seems to have been reborn. to
use the expression Of the proud gar
denerS.
THE old-fa shioned garden to the
east of the rear portico also has pick
ed up wonderfully with the recent
rains and the few days absence OF
terrific heat.
4. President and Mrs. Coolidge are
especially fond of these gardens.
They walk about the beds and bor-
ders almost every evening after dim
ner, and frequently, during the cool
of the mornings and in the late
afternoons. Mrs. Coolidge sits with
friends and, at times alone. beneath
the two large magnolia trees at the
form a cool canopy through which
the hottest of suns fails to penetrate.
From this S"Ot she can look out over
thu gardens and .the grounds as she

Change i'm Week.
When the family left for Plymouth
last week. nearly everything grow
ing in the White House rear grounds
was either winding up or showing
that inclination But with careful
attention on the part of those in
trusted with the care of the grounds
andn with the aid of nature, this has
all changed. and the flowers are look
ing alive and healthy once more.
In the rose garden. where more
than 500 rose bushes of more than a
score OF varieties are planted. there
are nearly a dozen of these varieties
now in bloom. Most conspicuous and
ornamental is the radiance rose.
Others are killarneys Duchess de
Pra bant Aphelias. SunburstS, Francis
Scott Keys. Eichmonds and the yell
low BillInstons. An array of gay
color is afforded as 4 border for
these plants by the profuse growing
of the PortuacaS. of red. pink, yell
low and other bright colorS.
Variety of Blooms.
IN the landscape garden on the
other side of the grounds in which
is located the picturesque mirror pool.
with its pond lilies. god fish and bor-
der Of iris and sladiolas. are bloom

called old-fashioned kind, all OF
which are so common to the home
Gardens in this city. At this time
the outstanding feature of this gar
den is the phloX. of which there are
several varieties and shades. Also
prominent in the garden are plum
bago. forget t-me-nots. helenium, del

gladiolas.
Those working about the gardens
today are happy over the change in
the weather, and they are anXiously

MINERS TO IGNORE
ORDER Of LEADER
1900 Vote to Continue
Strike Despite Charter
Loss Threat.
By the Associated Press.


SCRANTON, Pa, November 90
general grievance committee repre-
senting the 1900 anthracite mine
workers of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company today voted to continue the
strike started early this week in the
face of instructions from Interna
tionai President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers that the men
return to work Monday or have the
charters of their local unions re-
voked. The committee announced 1t
would not call off the strike until
grievances the men complained of
have been adjusted.
In order not to comply with the in
structions of President Lewis, the
grievance committee adjourned until
next Wednesday.
The grievance committee met In
Pittston to discuss the situation and
while in session listened to the read
ing Of telegram sent from New
Orleans by President Lewis to D. w.
Davis, who was designated by the
union leader to represent him in the
district. The telegram was read by
Anthony Figlocks, international or
ganizer in the first district Of the
union.
Made Lewis Agent.
The telegram stated that he had in
structed Acting President George
Isaacs to call a meeting of the dis
trict executive board and utilize the
full board of the district organization
to terminate the strike. 1t au-
therized Davis to act as the inter-
national presidents agent and to di-
rect the district executive board to
revoke the charters of all local
unions which may not have returned
to work by Monday, December 1.
please see that proper notifica ton
is given affected membership that
forfeiture of charters will take place
on Monday il strike is still on" the
telegram concluded.
There are IL local unions affected
Officers of the organization said they
were hoping that RinaIdo Cappellini.
president of the district, will bring
an end to the strike when he re-
turns, probably tomorrow, from FL
Paso, Tex, where he went to confer
with President Lewis.
The strike began last Tuesday, the
men claiming that the Pennsylvania
Coal Co. had refused to adjust vari-
Gus grievances which the men say
they have regarding rates and work
ing conditions. The strike was not
authorized by the district organiza-
ton and instructions were sent to the
local leaders of the unauthorized
walkout to return the men to work.
The committee responded by voting
to ignore the district and national
officers and not to permit them in
their meetings.
The company insists that it will
not treat with the men until they
return to work.
The present strike is the third in
a short time involving a considerable
number of men that has been called
by general grievance committees
without the sanction OF the district
or national officers. The first two
were quickly ended on orders from
the higher officers, who pointed out
that the men were violating their
wage agreement with the operators.
