22 WAR WROUGHT MANYMIRACLES Numerous Obstacles Were Removed, President Tells French Delegates Paris, Feb. 14. —President Wilson, in addressing a delegation from the French Association for a Society of Kations, said: "I appreciate very deeply what has been said, and 1 take it that the kind suggestion is that some time after my return we should arrange a public meeting, at which, I am quite confident, we may celebrate the completion of the work, at any rate up to a certain very far ad vanced stage, the consummation of which we have been working and hoping for for a long time. "I cannot help thinking of how many miracles this war has already wrought, miracles of comprehension as to our interdependence as nations and as human beings; miracles as to the removal of obstacles which j seemed big, and now have grown small, in the way of active and or ganized co-operation of nations in regard to the establishment and maintenance of justice. "One advantage in seeing one an other and talking with one another is to find that, after all. we all think the same way. We may try to put the result of the thing into differ ent forms, but we start with the same principles. "And in a meeting such as you are projecting perhaps we can rec ord the success that we shall have then achieved of putting a great principle into practice, and demon strated that it can be put into prac tice." Textile Workers Get Temporary 8 2-Hour Day; Return to Jobs Chicago. Feb. 14—A decision which Is expected to end the strike of east ern textile workers was given by the War Labor Board last night, when a temporary working basis of a ngight and one-half hour day and a five day week was announced.

The board acted on the petition of both employers and employes, who urged that it was their common pur pose to counteract radical move ments, and asked that a temporary working basis be arranged. They said they sought a standardisation of working hours and would leave wage adjustments for the future. I'aterson, X. J., Feb. 14.—Albertl Wyman, secretary to the Manufac-1 turers' Association, announced offici ally the receipt of a statement from the joint manufacturers and workers committee conferring with the War Labor Board at Chicago, to the effect that the War Labor Board decided upon a forty-two and a half hour schedule, no work Saturdays, pend ing a decision on the demands of the silk textile workers for a forty-seven hour schedule.

All- Tiovncement of the big corporations of the possibility of declaring a one month suspension of work at the an lhthraoite mines has caused veritable turmoil among the miners. They are t estfu 1 of this latter-dav attitude of the coal companies in the face of the valient and patriotic efforts they put Fifth during the serious war days and declare that they are now being'perse cuted by the coal companies. The men contend that it is an impossi bility that the commercial world has become so suddenly glutted with coal as to necessitate such a long suspen sion. It is their further contention that the coal companies ate taking their present course in an effort to continue the present high price of an thracite coal and that as a conse quence the men of the mines will be the ones to suffer to satisfy the greed •<i the' operators.
