GOVERNMENT
TO MAKE NEW
STRIKE MOVE
lUnexpected Step Intended to
f Bring Operators and Em
ployes Together.
LEWIS VISITS WHITE HOUSE
Chief of Workers Asked to
Meet Administration Lead
ers in Capital.
By Vntted Press
WASHINGTON, June 26.— I The Fed
eral Government will make anew
and unexpected move in the coal
6trike if the flnal effort of the Govern
ment—now in progress—to bring
about a peace conference of the min
ers and operators fails. It was learned
today at the Labor Department.
Secretary of Labor Davis announced
that he and John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, would
call on President Harding at noon to
discuss the situation. Lewis was
asked to come here for the conference.
Operators Stand Pat
Just before Lewis met Davis for a
preliminary conference before the
White House meeting it was an
nounced that the operators were stand
ing pat on their point, that wage
agreements should be negotiated on a
state or sectional basis and not
through one interstate meeting for all
the soft coal fields, as demanded by
the miners. A letter from the opera
tors to this effect was received by the
Department of Labor today. This
point is the obstacle to a strike settle
ment, It is said.
There were some indications that
as a final move to end the strike peace
fully, President Harding would pro
pose arbitration of the dispute by a
commission which he would name.

DISABLED SOLDIER
GETS LOW RATING
FOR HIS WOUNDS
Story of Steve Borisuk and His
Experience With Govern
ment Bureau.
RULINGS ARE IN CONFLICT
In Boston He Is Incompetent
and In Washington He Is
Competent.
BY HARIIY B. HINT.
WASHINGTON, June 26.--This is
the story of Steven Borisuk, former
soldier for Uncle Sam.
When you have read it, you may
understand something of the cynicism
with which thousands of disabled sol
diers regard the promises of the Gov
ernment to give them just akl and
compensation.
It is now more than forty-three
months since the armistice which
ended the fighting. But peace, for
Steve, has meant one hospital after
another.
Among the mementos of his fight
ing days which Steve lists are:
A fractured skull.
Virtual blindness.
Diseased bones in left cheek.
Lungs which leak blood.
Bayonet stabs In stomach.
A shattered back.
Seven machine gun bullets through
1 left leg.
A silver plate to take the place of
one heel shot away.
He Makes No Complaint
Steve isn’t knocking. Money doesn’t
mean much to him. anyway. Also,
he's used to having his compensation
rating changed.
For the first nine months after his
discharge Steve was rated as having
15 per cent disability. For that he
drew sl2 a month.
Then his rating was changed to
temporary total.
Later, in June, 1920, It was decided
he was totally and permanently dis
abled and he was so rated. This
gave him SBO a month disability pay.
; That d.dn't last long, however; his
rating being shifted to temporary
total again, and payments withheld
on the claim that he was incompetent.
His Rating Is Out.
Demanding j. reexamination to
clear up the matter of competency,
; so he could collect his pay, Steve got
! It. He was declared competent, but
at the same time his disability rating
was cut to 10 per cent. A 10 per
cent disability allowance pays $8 a
month.
From this he was shifted again to
a temporaray total rating.
And now the temporary total Is sup
planted by “less than 10 per cent,”
which effectively removes Steve from
the Veterans Bureau payroll.
Only six weeks ago an operation
was performed to remove some dis
eased bone in Steve's left jaw.
"Next week they’re going to take
out my r.ght eye," Steve said. “The
left's in bad shape, too. Mustard
gas.”
More Red Tape.
/Steve “got his," be explains, at
Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood.
That ended the overseas fighting for
Steve. Most of his battles since that
time have been with Veterans Bureau
authorities. Losing battles, on the
I basis of the latest rating.
One of the illuminating factors in
Steve's case—ilium.nating as to ad
ministrative efficiency in the bureau—
is that in the first district, including
Brookline, Mass., his home, Steve Ij
listed as incompetent and insane. In
the fourth district —Washington—he
Is certified as competent and sane.

AFTER HIS ACQUITTAL
Mrs. Len Small Suffers Paralysis Attack Fol

Husband
SPECIALISTS FAIL TO GIVE RELIEF
Devotion During Long Ordeal at Waukegan
Undermined Strength of Popular v
Matron
By United Press
KANKAKEE, 111., June 23. —Mrs.
Len Small, wife of Illinois’s Governor,
died today of overjoy as a result of
her husband’s acquittal.
Mrs. Small was stricken with
paralysis when a blood vessel burst
in her brain Saturday night.
No hope was held out for her re
covery after the stroke.
Specialists rushed to her bedside
declared the nerve strain of the tri&k
coupled with the great Joy of her hus
band's victory, caused her death.
She was stricken just after a rous
ing homecoming celebration by
thousands of friends of the Governor’s
family, had been concluded on the
lawn of the Small mansion.
Turning to her husband, she said;
“I believe I am going to be ilk"
These words were her last
She collapsed in his arms.
Devotion During Trial
The kind and tender devotion which
Mrs. Small exhibited toward her hus
band during the long ordeal won the
admiration of all who saw the couple
at the trial at Waukegan.
She was constantly at his side.
The effect of her death on the
Governor was feared by physicians.
The Governor remained at her bed
side from the time she was stricken.
“Thank 008, she lived to see me
vindicated,” Lo said.
“My enemies have brought this
other great sorrow upon me.”
In addition to the Governor, those
at the side of the first lady of the
State when she passed away were;
Mrs. A. E. English, a daughter; Bud
and Claude Small, sons.
Death came at 9 a. m.
Crowds had stood along police lines
outside of the Governor's home
throughout the night waiting for phy
siicans' bulletins.
Governor Refuses Sleep
The Governor had refused all ap
peals from physicians that he sleep.
He also refused to touch food. He
sat crushed and broken at her bed
side.
“Saturday was the happiest day of
her life,” the Governor said.
The Smalls had lived in Kankakee
since their marr.age in 1892. Mrs.
Small was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Moore.
As the first lady of the State she
was a popular leader with innumer
able friends in all parts of Illinois.
She had been closely associated
with her husband’s political and
business success. He often attrib
uted a large part of his success to her
advice and counsel.
For more than an hour before the
fatal attack the Governor and his
wife had stood on the front porch
bowing as hundreds of friends passed
by welcoming the executive home.
As the din of automobile horns and
cheers subsided Mrs. Small turned into
the house. As she entered the door
she paused and placed her hand on
the Governor’s arms.
“I’m so faint,” she said.
She sank into unconsciousness in
the Governor’s arms. She did not
speak again. From that time her con
dition gradually grew worse. Phys
icians were summond from Kankakee
and Chicago.

and her daughter, Mrs. A. E. English
