Record Winter
Forecast by Paris
AstrOnOnler-PrieSt
Viii Equal Severe Periods
of 1858 and I74O.
Study ReueaIs.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, August 3.-Next Winter
will be long and hard. is the deduction
made from researches which have
been carried on by the astronomer
priest, Father Gabriel, and which
Prof. Guiilaume Bigourdan, director
of the Paris Observatory, has de
scribed to the Academy of Sciences.
Father Gabriel recalls the Lunar solar
cycle OF 744 years, which is divided
into two periods of 372 years and four
periods Of 1S6 years. He says that
the weather follows these periods, and
that this Winter will be as severe as
We're the Winters of the years 1853
and 1f40. His observations are based
on reasearches into the works Of his
torians. poets and writers which were
likely to give weather indications.
The noted French astronomer Arago
had already remarked on this recur-
renee of hard Winters, without, how
ever, indicating the periods between
them.

in this way, as he realizes there is
virtually nothing the Government can
do but plead the cause of the public,
and, besides. he knows there is now
enough coal in storage to prevent any
serious shortage for at least six or
seven weeks after the strike begins.
The President also is represented as
feeling that if there is a strike il will
be of short duration
President Coolidge has now the
benefit of the views of Senator Pepper
of Pennsylvania regarding the threat
ened coal strike and the possible con-
sequences. Senator Pepper arrived at
White Court Saturday and left yester-
day with Mrs. Pepper for their Sum-
mer home in Maine.
No Compelling Power.
President Coolidge while discussing
the matter with callers has made it
plain that the Federal Government
has no power to compel operation of
the mines. All that it can do now is
to offer its good offices through De-
partment of Labor mediators. This it
has done, but apparently without any
effect. After a strike is declared PreSi-
dent Coolidge feels that he can come
into the controversy as representing
lilC pdDiiS' LISlI, II uiltltI SiOuu,
that he will offer an arbitration plan
which in effect will propose that
mining be resumed and both sides
shall abide by the decision of the
arbitrators.
That is the only practical plan the
Federal Government has to protect
the public from a lack of coal during
the Winter months. The administra-
ton has no well worked out arbitra-
tion program. President Coolidge is
willing to present any arbitration
method which will be acceptable to
both sides on the condition that mining
shall be resumed and the decision of
the arbitrators shall be binding on
both the operators and miners.
President Coolidge is relying upon
the prestige of his office to make eff
fective some such plan, but he does
not intend. according to the present
program, TO do anything more than
offer the mediation of labor agents
until a strike actually occurs and the
dispute then becomes one of public
concern.
