END Or THE COAL STRIKE 1
I,
I WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. A telegram from Attorney General Palmer from Indianapolis received today at the White House, saying the miners certainly would accept President Wilson's plan for a settlement of the strike, was misinter- !
preted by officials there as saving the miners had accepted the plan and led to such an announcement. A correction was made immediately afterward. The text of Mr. Palmer's telegram as finally given out with the correction reads:
"Statements will be given out at 2 30 central time. Contempt proceedings had been continued for one week. The miners will meet at 2 o'clock and promptly acquiesce in president's plan."
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 9. -The proposition of President Wilson meets with the unqualified approval of the mine operators, according to a statement made by Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the scale committee of the coal oper-
ators of the central competitive field, after a summary of the president's proposition had been read to him here today.

DRASTIC
RULE IN
EFFECT
Garfield Issues Severest
Fuel Economy Order
Since 1918
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 In the
face of an expected settlement of the
bituminous coal strike. Fuel Adminis
trator Garfield put into effect today
the most drastic regulations for fuel
economy since the restrictions of
1918 Even if the strike were settled
today, he declared, fuel saving meas
ures would be necessary as several
weeks would be required before the
nation's normal fuel supply could be
restored.
Probably the mo-i important regu
lations are prescribed far manufactur
ing plants, which will be restricted
to operation of three days a week on
the basis of present working hours.
Exception is made to plants manufac- I
turlng what is considered necessary
products and those consuming anthra
cite coal, gus and other fuel. It is
understood that plants already having
a supply of soft coal on hand would
noi come under the provisions of the
order
The order, which will be adminis
tered through the railroad administra
tion, includes curtailment of street
lighting, lights and heat for office
buildings and industrial plants and
current for street railways.
DETROIT. Mich . Dec. 9 One of the
largest automobile plants in the city,
compelled to close by the orders of
the national fuel administrator, will at
tempt to re-open tomorrow with gaso
line fUrhlfihlng the motive power to op
erate its machinery. Hundreds .of au
tomobile motors will be hooked up to
turn the factory wheels Anticipating
success of the plan, employes in 21
departments have been ordered to re
turn to work Wednesday morning.
of court, filed againsl m general and
district officials of the United Mine
Workers of America, was postponed
until next Tuesday morning on motion
of C. 13 Ames for the governmen',
when the case was called here today.
The postponement was taken pend
ing the outcome of the meeting of
miners' officials here this afternoon to
act on the plan of President Wilson
for ending the strike. The plan was
submitted to President Lewis and Mr
Green by Attorney General Palmer in
Washington last Saturday. No inti
mation of the proposals contained in
the plan had been made known this
morning.
The miners, through Acting Presi
dent Lewis and Secretary Treasurer
William Green of the International or
ganization, were charged in lnforma
ition filed by United Slates District
Attorney L. Ert Slack and Dan W.
Sims, special assistant, with violating
;the temporary Injunction granted by
Judge Anderson restainlng them from
encouraging or furthering the strike
of 400.000 bituminous coal miners of
the country.
United States District Attorney
Slack moved the postponement of the
impanolllng of the federal grand jury
summoned by Judge Anderson to in
vestigate alleged violations of th Lev
er and unti-trust laws by operators,
'miners and coal dealers and the court
fixed Wednesday, December 17, as the
I date.
The postponement of the contempt
I hearing also included the cases of the
! two local unions at Clinton, lnd,
which were named in a separate in-
formation.

Eagle and Airman Meet
In Contest for the
Supremacy of the Air
British Officer Piloting Single Seater Has Thrilling Experience
High in the Pyrenees on Trip from Pari3 to Madrid
Great Bird is Finally Wor nOut and Falls
LONDON. Dec. 1. Eagle and air
man have met in a contest for tho
supremacy of the upper air, and the
'eagle has been defeated. The en
counter occurred high above the Pyre
nees in the half light of early morn
ing recently when a British officer
was piloting a single Beater scout ma
chine from Paris to Madrid. The air
man was flying nt 100 miles an hour,
when a big eagle soared up to meet
him.
It was as if the eagle had thrown
me a challenge," says the offices,
!"but my laughter died on my lips
whrm I thought that perchance a lucky
jdhe by the bird or maybe a collision
I in midair would send me crashing to
I tho rocks beneath.
I "The eagle lumbered around me at
'about 90 miles per hour and I throttled
down to the same pace while we took
stock of each other. The air by then
was crystal clear and I could see
every feather on him as we circled
about, for all the world like two an
tagonists above the western front.
"The eagle started to climb and I
went after blm yard by yard. I'nable
I to resist any longer, I opened the
throttle, put my nos- down and
looped right over him. He made one
great effort to catch up and with it
his strength failed.
"His wings gave a feeble beat and
iwith every appearance of a shot plane
he nosed dived to earth. 1 followed
him down a good twelve hundred feet
and saw htm flatten out and land near

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 9 Tho con-1
ference of Liberals, known as the com
mittee of 48, was unable to open its
first national convention here today
because it had no meeting place as the
result of charges of alleged disloyalty
brought aKaiust. it by certain posts of
the American Legion.
Hundreds of delegates from all sec
tions of the country are here and all
protested the loyalty of the organiza
tion Should the convention be hold hero,
all sessions will be attended by depart
ment of Justice operatives and a com
mltteo representing St. Louis posts of
the American Legion.
Delegates asserted the principal ob
ject of tho conference was to formu-'
late a program to solve the economic
and social problems confronting the
country and to Improve the interna

Under the inspiration of the Russian

which has been investigating radical

In its recommendations to the legis

the subject of corrective measures foe
the radical menace in two ways. First,
it will recommend repressive legisla

are advocated.
Second, along constructive lines, it

Elimination of the clause providing
for coercion by the allies in case of
Germany's failure to execute the
treaty's provisions and alteration of,
the claim for indemnity for German
warships sunk at Scapa Flow are the
most important, concessions made by

turning over to the allies of German
dock and harbor machinery by way of
Indemnity will be subject of an inquiry1
to be conducted by the reparations
commission. At the tame time, how
ever, the council places on Germany
responsibility for the sinking of .Ad
miral von Router's interned fleet.
German demands for modification
of the treaty clauses calling for the,
surrender of Germans charged with
violations of laws of war. as well as
those dealing with the repatriation
of prisoners of war are rejected. The
status of America in relation to the
treaty is held not to alter the effective,
jneiss of the pact and German objec

"pretended rights." Germany is told I
it is ' vain to seek to delay" the opera
