Lewis Promises to Use In- fluence to Prevent Strike Con- tinuance, ‘Washington, July 31—White House | officials expressed satisfaction today over the announcement of John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine ‘Workers, that he would order strik- ing mine laborers in Illinois and In- diana to return to work. His state- ment that he would take such action followed receipt in Indianapolis last night of a telegram from President Wilson appealing to the strikers to resume work pending adjustment of their wage demands. The president said that if the men returned to work he would invite the joint scale committee of operators and miners to meet for the purpose of adjusting inequalities which might exist in the present wage scale. He declared, however, that he could not recommend correction of inequalities until the strikers returned to work. The president told the strikers that he was distressed not only because of the likelihood of suffering during the coming winter should the strike continue but also because “the viola- tion of the terms of ycur solemn ob- ligation impairs your good name, de- stroys the confidence which is the basis of all mutual agreement and threatens the very foundation of fair industrial relations.” | when due.

So far only a small section in West Virginia and three or four counties in Pennsyl- vania, have beer found to ba affected. Potatoes attacked by ‘“‘potato warts” show large sponge-like growths on their surface and are usually rotten Mr. Haines will appre- ciate being notified ecither through the secretary of the Camber of Com- merce, or by letter direct to Wash- ington, of any signs of this disease. .
