Mr. Palmer opposeq further confer- ences, saying wage increases proposed by Dr. Garfield equalized the average miner's wages with the present high cost of living without - increasing the price of coal. . This, he said, was fair to the miners and protected the pub- lic. “The cost of living is ndw at the high voint,” Mr. Palmer said. “To grant the demands of the miners would make the cost of living still higher. The new wage conference would run three winters, and there- | fore, would maintain a higher cost of living for substantially ~threc years. Such a situation capnot be tolerated “In addition to thig 1 t D miners and operators, and to be pre- ided over by the secretary of the in terior. Such a body would investi- gate, among other things, the profits of the operators. If these should be found to be unreasonably high, the public should receive the benefit in a decreased price of coal, after the min- ers have had their wages finally ad- justed on a fair basis. I understand this plan is acceptable to the opera- tors. If the miners return to work and agree. to this plan, a way would be immediately opencd for permanent t wages proposed by Dr. Garfield, so that working miners wiil immediately receive the bemefit of this increase. The production. of coal now closely approximates 50 _per cent. of normal fand I have confidence that a sufficient number of miners will comply with the wishes of their government and re- spond to the needs of the people to increase this production in the near future to a point which will supply the demant 1f coriomy and conservatfon in industry are employed. “Any other plan to reopen megotia- tions for a new wage scale between the miiners and operators would be fu- tile and would delay rather than ad- vance production. As long as .the leaders of the miners' - organizations believe that their unlawful strike will force the public into a_condition of suffering and loss which will compel further increases of wages, continued conferences on thg subject will only result in influfacing miners not to re- turn to work. “The situation calls for the stead- fast support by the public of the gov- ernment’s position as announced by Dr. Garfield. The public should re- fuse to be stampeded by threats of lack of fuel into concessions which will | fnsure unreasonably high prices in all commoditieg for at least three years to come. t s 1 r s e t o e r New York, Dec. 1.—The eastern re- gional coal committee was in session here today when the order placing effete immediately.

Unlike its predecessor, the second conference began behind closed doors Jou est. Wo! to. in Speaking for the con- ference when the first meeting ad- journed after more than three hours of discussion, Mr. King said that ex- ecutive sessions would be continued “for the present” and that the gues- tion of ovening the doors had not yet come before the delegates, several of whom are understood to favor. the ut- most publicity on deliberations which may affect vitally the emtire country. Secretary Wilson explained = before he called the delegates to order that he believed exccutive sessions advis- able to permit frank discussion, while allowing the delegates to keep their minds open until a decision was reach- ed. He declared their ideas should not be “chained” to first expressions of opinion before hearing what other delegates had to say. In opening the conference, Mr. Wil- son recited the general situation which: required new deliberations by deley zates, all of whom have been promi- nent “in public life and few of whom have been identified with scither -side in industrial controversies of the past. All of the seventeen members eXcepi George T. Slade, of St. Paul, who is in Europe, were present. The general flelg of activities to. be covered and the best méthods of dealing with ach subject were discussed without a de- being reached. The cost ‘of g, collective bargaining and other problcms of the day entered into the talk None of the delegates would ‘venture an opinion as to when the conference would finish its task, though several commented that President Wilson had assigned them a very broad field.

For the Immediate Release of Con- sular Agent Jenkins. ‘Washington, Dec. ~1.—The ' govern- ment's note to Mexico made: publi here today at the hour of its delivery in Mexico City, renews the request for the immediate release of William O. Jenkins, the American Consular Agent imprisomed 'at Pueblo. and bluntdy charges Carranza with at- tempting to becloud the issue. In the sharpest language yvet ad- dressed to - the Carranza government and probably miore -pointed than one sovernment usually addresses to another in a formal diplomadtic com- munication, the United States says it regards Mexico's plea of judicial rea- ns for not releasing Jenkins as “mere excuses”, and gives notice thar it will not be drawn away from the main facts and into a discussion of “Irrelevant and unimportant matters.” The “attitude of the Carrana gov- ernment in_the matter, the note says, has been to “assume a wilful indit- | ference to the feelings of the Ameri- n pople” and .the conclusion drawn by the government is that Mexico has sought' to divert the attention of the American people and the Mexican people as well from the fact that Puebla, second largest city in Mexico, is over-run by bandits while the civil jauthorities are negligent. s 2y e | i 0| WHITE PLAGUESEALS CAMPAIGN Tuberculosis caused 87, draft army.
