Pramiar in Receptive Frame of

Must Be Final
RAIL MEN DELAY DECISION
Ttjr the Awoclatal Prw
, London. Oct. 20. Negotiation which
i might settle the strike of Hritiali miners
arc believe! to be assured. Government
offltfajs and labor leaders who outlined
their positions before tho opening sea
filofi of Parliament have shown their
desire to reaeh an understanding. He
Hef is Reneral today that both sides are
drawing up proposals.
Tremler Lloyd George has definitely
declared he Is ready to enter into ne
gotiations, but he has laid emphasis
on the fact that the government wants
a final settlement of the differences
which brought about a cessation of
work In British mines la-t Saturday.
II has stated plans for a tentative
wage Increase pending a complete ad
justment would not be satisfactory, as
that method of meeting the present slt
. ttatlon would threaten trouble later.
Coal production, he holds, must be aug
mented, and he may submit some pro
posals which will deal with this phace
of the situation
The national union of railway men.
(he executive of the transport workers
and the parliamentary committee of the
trades union congress all held meet
ings this morning to consider their at
titude toward Mie coal strike, but thus
far no decisions have been taken. The
greatest importance attached to the, na
tional union of railwnymcn'o meeting;
which was a full delegates' conference
with power to declare a sympathetic
trlke without referring the matter to
th union members.
After approximately two hours of dis
cussion, James Henry Thomas, general
ecretary of the rallwaymen's union,
nam tne wnoic situation had been re
viewed and adjournment taken until
Thursday. The executive of the trans
port workers and the trades union com
mitted continued their meetings this aft
ernoon. Divided on Strike
A sharp difference of opinion prevails
among the railroad men. some of the del
egates having come to the meeting with
Instructions from their branches to us
every effort to secure a peaceful settle
ment, while other delegates were turned
with resolutions by their members de
manding a sympathetic strike. Mr
Thoman personally desires neace. it is
declared, but has a strong minority of !
the organization's executive working i
against him.
The railway clerks of Wales have
wired Srvrotnrv Tlmmnu .!,lni
HUannroved of tho ln,frrHnno' tw
nave received to remain neutral, aud
they adopted a resolution tirirlue the
lerk to link up with the other unions i
In support of the miners, even to tin
extent of leaving their work.
Tho national council of the Independ
ent Labor party adopted a resolution
today expressing grave apprehension
ver the attitude of the .government to
ward the miners, "conveying, ns it
does, an aggressive challenge to the
whole working class movement." The
resolution requests the Labor party to
convene a special conference.
"The position of the National Union of
iRallwaymen this morning was regarded
tby officials as particularly difficult, in
asmuch as tho miners have not officially
appealed for a strike by the railway
men in support of the miners' cause. It
also is poluted out that the railway
delegates realized that anything might
happen within a day or two in the way
of renewed negotiations and that an im
mediate rally, ay strike might not only
be premature but unnecessary. The del
egates, therefore, decided to delay their
decision.
One of the strongest rumors relative
to a possible settlement comes from
the South Wales coal field, whicli has
been recognized as the main center of
disaffection and extremism. A Cardiff
dispatch to the London Times says It is
stated there the end of the deadlock may
be reached if three or four days.
Will Increase, Living
One effect of the coal strike will be
an increase in the cost of living, owing
to the decline in the value of the pound
eterllnc and the Increased cost of in
ward-bound freights, caused by the
diminution of exports, declared Austen
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex
chequer, In answering a question in the
.House ot rommons tonay.
Increased production, remarked the
chancellor, was a necessary condltlou
fpr a permanent reduction in the cost of
living, and whatever the immetllnte
effect of tho strike might be on prices
It must in the long run be Injurious to
the national well-being.
Official estimates of the number of
persons thrown out of employment in
other industries as tho result of the cool
atrike arc lacking, but newspaper tsti
mates place the number at lOO.Oim ut '

Reports from Morristuu, near Swan

Three Arrested in Business Sec
tion as Swindlers to Have
Hearing Today
TELLER'S BOOKS STRAIGHT
A trusted bank teller, once a minis
ter; n man living in u $75,000 homo in
Merlon, with a number of servants, nnd
n man well known in tho central dis
trict, will bo arraigned In the Federal
Building today, charged with using the
mails to defraud.
Their scheme, which Federal authori
ties characterize ax one of the best
thought-out and.cxtennivo swindling op
peratlons they ever uncovered, has been
operating for more than two years, it
it said.
Tho former minister is A. It. Menrs,
until yesterday a teller nt the Quaker
City National Rank. The one living In
splendor nt Merlon, said to be the
"brains" of the outfit, Is W. F. Lewis.
The other is Alfred DeMayo, who Hies
at a central hotel.
They were arrested following a com
plaint to the Federnl postal inspectors
by the Great Republic Tire and Rubber
Co., of Muskogee, Okta. Dissension
among the threo is said to have given
Postal Inspector Mnyhow grounds for
their arrest.
Menrs' accounts hne been gone over
nnd found to be straight, tho bank of
ficials say. They characterize him ns
a "tool" and "tho goat." He says he
got nothing but some life insurance.
De Mayo is president of the Hanover
Construction Co., and Lewis Its secre
tary and treasurer, with offices in the
Drcxcl Iluildlng. Tbo firm is Incorpor
ated In Delaware.
Fi. Mnrlanelli, vice president and
general counsel of tho rubber com
pany, and W. H, Owens, ita president.
have come to Philadelphia to appear
against tho three men.
"I answered an advertisement in the
DalVm News." said Mr. Owens, "nnd
which claimed that a man signing himself
A. Rarues Miers could finance business
firms for amounts up to $300,000 and
nlso would undertake bond issues nnd
other business transactions ou a large
scale. Miers, whose real name is A.
R. Meara, corresponded with mo on
Quaker City National Bank stationery.
After sending 36500 aS payment for
getting out nri issue of bonds, which
Ids company agreed to sell, the corre
spondence ceased, and wc got no satis
fact on.
"Since coming to Philadelphia. I have
learned that DeMayo and Lewis divided
the 50500. Ttieir scheme was to hold
out for more money and get us disgust
ed ; but they have picked out the wrong
people this time."
When Mcars was quizzed by tho Okla
homa lawyer and officials of tho bank,
he denied any connection with the mat
ter. When confronted with his signature
and other evidence, however, ho fell to
the floor in a faint. Mcars, who is about
fifty years old, says his only reward for
inserting the adr?rtlsemcnt was u gilt of
life insurance. He lias been discharged
after twenty years of service in thebnnl.
Officials of the bank characterized bin
as "a fool." They said there wero n
discrepancies in his books.

an honorable record. On many points
their policies agree, with only slight
differences of ncccnt and emphasis, all
of which are likely tp be modified when
they come to practice. You may fairly
say that one of tho candidates is a
prudent aggressive, while the other is
a cautious conservative. This distinc
tion, in iin nrrllnnrv election, mlebt de
termine your preference. You might
say without reproach, 'Both of these
candidates arc trustworthy, men on mat
ters of trade and taxation nnd trans
nottatlon : neither of them Is a wrecker :
therefore, I shall simply vote the ticket
of my fathers tor my nusoancrsj
party.'
"But this is not an ordinary elec
tion. On one point, the main point,
the nlfltn noint. tho two candidates dif
fer absolutely. Governor Cox frankly
fnvnrn crnlnv Into the LcOEUO of Na
tion. wTtli mieh notion an will make it
clear that the obligations assumed by'
the United States do not mvojve aoui
cntion or sovereignty or change in the
constitution. Senator Harding, after
many doubtful utterances, says forth
right: "I do not want to clarify these
nhlientions: I want to turn my back
on them. It is not interpretation, but
rejection, that I am seeking." surely
this Is nlaln enough. Why muddle tho
Issue with far-fetched explanations?!
Cox Is for the league, interpreted as
the United States has a right to do.
Harding is against the league, with
or without interpretations. Tho ques
tion for you Is simply this: Which
way do you want your first vote to
count?
"Do not let your mind be confused by
side-issues, personal prejudices, or mis
representations. Go straight to tho
rcpresenuuiuiiK. vtu nuonui iu mu
facts. Bead the covenant of the league
enrefiillv. Innil ro what the league is.
how it como into being, what it is now
doing, what advantage it offers to ua
and to the world."
