RELIEF SUPPLIES
REACH WARSAW
FOR RED CROSS
Special Train of Nineteen
Cars Arrive There After
Long Trip
Warsaw, Oct. 2 5.—A special train
of 19 cars of American Red Cross
relief supplies, urgently needed in
the desolated parts of Poland, has
just arrived in Warsaw. The train
was on the way from Paris for near
ly a month. It came through Italy,
Austria and Czecho-Slovakia, and
was composed of surrendered Ger
man freight cars, formerly part of
a munition train on the Argonne
front. Delays were encountered
throughout the journey, which con
sumed four times as much as the
schedule.
This is the eighth train to reach
the American Red Cross Commis
sion to Poland in four months from
Paris. The cargo is made up prin
cipally of refugee clothing and hos
pital bedding. It is estimated that,
one-half of the Poles who were
forced to flee from the country dur
ing the war have as yet not returned,
and the American Red Cross is
making energetic preparations for
furnishing needed clothing for the
ragged refugees who will return
during the coming winter.
Several cars of hospital supplies
which came on this train will be
forwarded at once to the commis
sion's southern field headquarters at
Lembers, for the new Polish hospi
tals in Galacia. Tremendous de
mands are being made on these
hospitals by the present typhus wave
that is sweeping into Galicia from
the east.
In spite of the great transporta
tion difficulties that lie between Po
land and the source of supplies on
the Atlantic Coast, the Red Cross
has announced that its program for
keeping a steady stream of food,
clothing and other relief supplies
coming into Poland will continue
throughout the winter.
Virginia Miners,
Many With Arms,
Meet to Organize
Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 25—From
3,000 to 5,000 miners, many of them
armed, according to reports from
the offices of Governor John J. Corn
well, held a conference here last
night on the question of organizing
the Guyan coal fields in Logan
county, West Virginia, before Nov
ember 1, the date set for the bitumin
ous coal strike. The miners came
from more than fifty mines on Cabin
Creek and its tributaries in the Kan
awha district.
Probabilities of a march to the
Guyan valley fields similar to the one
attempted several weeks ago appear
ed, and were discussed at the con
ference. Information as to the
methods suggested for organizing
the fields was unavailable, however,
as President Frank Keeney and Sec
retary Fred Mooney, of district 17,
were out of the city.

SATURDAY EVENING,
Food Smuggled
Across Rhineland
Holland Border
Dusseldorf, Oct. 25. —Along the
entire Rhineland-Holland border,
from Aachen to Cleve, the liveliest
smuggling of food-stuffs from this
year's harvest has been taking place
recently and the German authorities
have been compelled to take extra
precautions in efforts to stop the
traffic. By the system of smuggling
from Germany into Holland, which
has been carried on the Rhenish
farmers have been receiving at
least double the price they other
wise would receive for their pro
ducts. The Dutch buyers make
handsome profits due to the high
exchange value of the gulden com
pared with the mark.

LOOKTO AMERICA
FOR BW CREDITS
Germans Still Cling to Hope
That United States Will
Aid Them
Berlin, Oct. 25. Pessimism of
many financial writers about the in
dustrial future of Germany is in
sharp contrast to the general optim
ism of the people, who stubbornly
cling to the hope that America will
sooner or later grant huge credits
and who overlook the fact t ha t
American capital is still shy of Ger
man loans. , . _
One of the most important German
industries is the textile industry and
those interested in securing raw ma
terials at the earliest possible mo
ment, or the credit with which to
buy them, are gradually m ? r ®
more alarmed at the colossal smug
gling through the oP ied te "™ ry ;
for it indicates to them that Eng
land France, and to a less ® r ***?"*
America, want to swamp Gcr ,
with manufactured goods and wiU
withhold raw materials as long
P °Germany had succeeded in the
summer of 1918 in m ' ,f., ner
dislike for clothes made of paper
but hardly was this dislik ® , g the
than the armistice came, the
well-paid workmen and others pre
ferred to pay the enormous prices
for foreign textiles, enormous Partlj
because they came from countries
where prices are higher
many, and partly because of the low
exchange value of the German mark.
It was this influx of textiles pri
marily that induced 1- inance Minis
ter Krzberger to make c " sU> ™ B
duties in gold obligatory for he be
lieved that that would in some
measure be a drawback to would
be importers. Financial experts,
however, doubt whether this meas
ure will be sufficient to prevent a
rufnous flood of textiles, already
manufactured, before Germany can
secure its necessary credits.

BXRRIBBTJRG TELEGRAPH
FIRM PROGRAM OF
ACTION MAPPED OUT
[Coutinned from First Page.]
to "vindicate the power and majesty
of the law," in the threatened strike.
The resolution which is to be call
ed on Monday declared the strike
would "provoke violence, bloodshed
and insurrection."
The resolution would pledge the
"constant, continuous and unquali
fied support" of Congress to the
"national administration and all
others in authority" in meeting "the
great emergency confronting us."
One phase of the situation which
most officials had in mind was that
of cost of coal to the public during
the threatened strike. It was said
that fair price committees working
with Attorney General Palmer to re
duce the cost of living probably
would add coal to the commodities
on which they have issued fair
prices. Officials said the Department
of Justice would not undertake to
set a national price for coal, be
cause of the differences between
mining costs and freight rates but
that the question would be handled
locally.
Will Stop Friday
Just before the Cabinet met, John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, sent word
to unions throughout the country
that work in the mines would stop
next Friday night.
Lewis said the strike would last
"until the Government is able to in
duce the stubborn coal operators to
deal humanly with the men who
mine the coal."
"And one. man's guess is as good
as another's on that," he added.
Before leaving for home, members
of the miners' full scale committee
said they realized now that public
sentiment Was largely against the
miners, but contended there would
be a quick change with the "first
evidence of profiteerng."
Even an appeal from President
Wilson, sick in bed at the White
House, was not enough to bring
peace.
While the operators announced
that they had accepted the Presi
dent's offer to wipe the slate clean
and negotiate a new wage agree
ment, the miners charged that the
operators had bolted without the
consent of Secretary of Labor Wil
son, the storm center of an extraor
dinary fight to save the country un
told distress and suffering.
Surrounded by a score of miners,
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
hurried out of the hall and halted
long enough to announce that the
strike order stood and that the min
ers would walk out after a full day's
work on the closing day of the pres
ent month.
Statements Issued
Thomas T.' Brewster, chairman of
the coal operators' scale committee,
issued the following statement:
"The operators accepted President
Wilson's proposal to resume nego
tiations for a wage scale and to sub
mit to arbitration any point which
could not be agreed to, the mines to
be kept at work during negotiations.
This the miners refused, thereby
breaking off the negotiations and
making the strike inevitable.
"The refusal of the miners to ac
cept or consider any of the proposi
tions submitted, including the final
proposition from President Wilson
to submit all matters to arbitration,
demonstrates their determination
that the coal supply of the United
States will be cut off unless their de
mands are granted in full. Mr. Lewis
is running true to his statement that
the government can't stop the
strike.
The United Mine Workers of
America assert that the operators
"walked out of the conference" and
"did exactly what they set out de
liberately to do in the first place—
forced the bituminous miners of the
United States to strike."
Minors Blame Operators
The operators, it was charged, did
not want or intend to negotiate a
new wage agreement, and that they
had declined to do so in conference
with Secretary Wilson.
"We charge that full responsi
bility for whatever may be the re
sult or the consequences must rest
on the operators," the statement
said, "because of their stubborn de
termination that no new agreement
should be reached."
Discussing the President's offer,
the statement said:
"Knowing that the operators were
dead set against the making of a
new agreement, we knew that if
both sides accepted the two propo
sitions made by President Wilson —
one for negotiation and the other
for arbitration —the operators would
prevent a contract by negotiation
and then throw the entire matter in
to arbitration. Such arbitration
would be a long drawn out proceed
ing, deliberately made so by op
erators, and during all of the long
weeks and months which would be
consumed by the arbitration the
miners would be compelled to con
tinue to work at the present wholly
inadequate wages and under the
present unbearable working condi
tions.
"It was entirely possible for the
miners and the operators to nego
tiate a new agreement before the
first day of November if the op
erators had been willing to meet the
miners in a fair, honest effort to do
so.
"But we find that the only remedy
left to us is a suspension of work,
to obtain better conditions and
wages. We did not want a strike.
No one understands better what a
strike means than do the coal min
ers who have been through strikes
in the past. But when conditions be
come unbearable, as they have in
this case, the coal miners must do
what the great American people
did when Germany became arro
gant and oppressive. They must as
sert their manhood. We have no
fear as to the outcome. Nor do we
have any fear but that the American
public will see the justice of our
position and our action."

COME TO CLOSE
Church Called Upon to Face
Squarely Its Duty in
New Era
. Detroit, Oct. 25 —Adjourning to
i meet in Portland, Oregon, in 1922,
j the triennial general convention of
i the Protestant Episcopal church in
| America late yesterday ended the
i most momentua session of its his
| tory.
; In the closing service of the con
-1 vention the church was called upon
[through the pastoral letter to square
j ly face its duty in the new era and
! the problems of the period of recon-
I struction.
i Greatest interest of church people
land convention delegates was shown
in the election by the House of
Bishops of Bishop Thomas F. Gailor,
of Tennessee, as chairman of the new,
executive council which will handle
the business of the church after Jan
uary 1, next. Bishop Gailor will
hold oflliee until the next convention.
Believing that the ministry of heal
i ing is a mission of the church and
j that its inclusion in the work of the
church will add to and help hold the
piesent membership the convention
j today appointed a commission to in-
I quire into the question and report at
I the 1922 meeting.
! The House of Bishops referred to
I the council an investigation of work
| among negros and a suggestion that
ja conference of racial representatives
; b< held in each large city to consider
; greater social justice. A resolution
! asking "discriminating executive
! clemency" for "political prisoners"
! including conscientious objectors, in
j troduced by Bishop Benjamin Brew
j ster, of Main, was adopted in the
House of Bishops but almost unani
mously voted down by the House of
Deputies. It was characterized by
General Charles M. Clement, of Har
risburg, Pa., as "an insult to every
man who wore the uniform."

Brussels, Oct. 25.—Small counter
feit coins made of zinc are being
passed at face value in the Belgian
capital. Much of the current coin
especially the pieces from five to
fifty centimes is made of this metal
owing to the scarcity of nickel. Zinc
evidently is conducive to counter

much unauthorized money made ot'
this metal. The government is said
to be aware of the practice and
when nickel becomes cheaper new
coins may be made to take the
place of the bad ones.
