The wind has now abated, but telegraphlc and other communication with the outside world 1s only possible after much delay. In some cases the lines are entirely down. The suburbs of the metropolls are littered with trees and branches which have been blown down. The tents of the First army { corps, which was under canvas prepara- | tory to taking part in the maneuvers, were almost blown to pleces.

OWNERS NOT TO DEAL WITH IDLE MEN Worthles in Chieago Ca: Enforced, KANBAS CITY, Sept. 11.—-After two con- ferences yesterday with the miners and two with the operators, John Mitchell, presi- dent, and T. L. Lewis, vice president of the miners' national organization, semt a com- mittee to Novinger to urge the miners there to go to work pending a settlement. The operators told President Mitchell that if he could not make the miners work under the Chicago agreement there would be no evidence that he could make them abide by any agreement they might make with him here. If the Novinger miners go back to work the chances are that they wili have the backing of the natlonal organization in their demands. Until the miners do return to work there Is little prospect that any- thing that can affect the mine situation will be attempted, as the operators are de- termined to make the national officers show that they can make good on any agree- ment they make. With that accomplished Mitchell will move for a quitk settiement one way or the other. He has agreed to stay there until some sort of settlement has been made. It is thought the Novinger miners will return to work promptly.
