But Results Are Uncertain
as Officials of Miners'
Organization Meet
BACKED BY STAND OF A. F. OF L.
DIRECTORS A RE MORE CONFIDENT
By Associated Press.
Indianapolis, Nov. 10. The general committee of the
United Mine workers of America, which met here to-day to take
action on the mandatory injunction of Federal Judge A. B. An
derson, demanding that the strike order he rescinded before
6 P. M. to-morrow, was still in session at 1 o'clock this-afternoon
and no intimation of what the action of the committee would be
given out.
Hall Guarded
The meeting place of the committee, which included inter
national officers, district presidents and members of the executive
board and scale committee, representing 425,000 striking bitumi
nous coal miners, was kept secret until just a few minutes before
the conference convened. A sergeant-at-arms watched at the en
trance of the hall and only delegates w ere permitted to approach
within 20 feet of the entrance.
International officers, district presidents, executive board
and members of the miners' scale committee, went into
session at 10 o'clock this morning to consider the strike
order. Government officials are taking no action pending the
expiration of the time given the union chiefs to withdraw the
strike order. The operators, the third party in the controversy,
still maintain the attitude adopied immediately after the strike
was called —that is to reopen negotiations as soon as the miners
resume,
Alexander Howat, president of district Xo. 14, Pittsburg,
Kans., declared that his attitude was unchanged and that "regard
less of injunction, prisons and judges of the United States," he
was going to fight. C. F. Keenev, president of district No. 17,
West Virginia, said that "if ordered to do so" he would withdraw
the strike order in his district, as it was not his intention to fight
the government. William J. Trickett, secretary-treasurer of dis
trict Xo. 16, Maryland, expressed the opinion that even if the
strike order were rescinded the men would not have to return to
work and added: "I don't think they would."
LABOR LEADERS PREDICT COAL
STRIKE WILL NOT BE CALLED OFF
By Associated Press
Washington. Nov. 10.—Labor load-;
ers predicted to-day that interna-!
tional officers of the United Mine 1
Workers of America, meeting at]
Indianapolis, would not call off the
c oal strike as directed by Federal j
„ Judge Anderson, whatever the legal
consequence might be.
One of the spokesmen for the.
miners' organization said he doubt-,
ed if Acting President Lewis and his
associates had the power, even if;
they had the inclination to comply
with the mandate.
"The strike was ordered by a dele-1
gate convention, in the event the!
operators refused to grant our de-;
roands," the spokesman said, "and
Lewis merely carried out instructions
in ordering the strike. The conven- j
tion must call it off."
Frank Morrison, secretary of the c
American Federation of Labor, would |
v not add anything to the statement j
issued last night by the executive
council supporting the striking
miners and demanding that the Oov
. eminent withdraw the injunction
proceedings.
"That was the statement of the
executive council and it speaks for
itself," Morrison said. "I am not
here to interpret it."
The Federation secretary had beer?
asked for a statement in view of
the opinion in some quarters that

The federation's statement was j

June 1
With the re-election of the four
City Commissioners and the ap
proval of the loan issues, plans are
being made now for improvements
made possible by the authorization
to borrow funds to build sewers,
paving additional sections of high
ways and the construction of bath
houses.
Commissioner W. H. Lynch said
. to-day that plans will be completed

i tensions which will be constructed
j next summer. City Engineer M. B.
j Cowden and his assistants will pre
pare the plans, and early in the
j spring bids will be asked and the
contracts awarded.
The Largest Sewer
It is proposed to construct a sewer
running east from Derry and Twen
j ty-first streets, probably to the east
j ern city line, then south to a "point
j near the Philadelphia and Reading
i Railway tracks and then west con
j necting with the Mish's Run sewer,
j This will provide drainage for the
' section of the city east of Twenty

j street.
| Another big sewer will be built
j following Asylum run from North
! Cameron street east to reach the
I northeastern part of the city. Even
i tually in case any territory is an
nexed to Harrisburg this sewer could
■ be used also to provide drainage for
I the annexed district by extending It
] through that section.
A number of the old sewers in the
j city are in need of repairs and

ASKS FOR PARDON
Terrorized Cumberland Val
ley Decade Ago by Atro
cious Crime
j MANY JOIN IN PROTEST
Judge Who Sentenced Israel
Patterson Says He Is an
Habitual Criminal
Israel Patterson, notorious "Brus
town bandit," whose sentence of
from fifteen to sixty years for rob
bery in the Cumberland county
courts in 1910. is regarded as the
• longest ever imposed in Central
i Pennsylvania, is asking the State
i Board of Pardons for pardon again
'and voluminous protests have been
tiled at the Capitol. Patterson was
arrested for the robbery of the home
of Henry Cockley in Penn town
ship .after a daring and sensational
raid by State Police, which attracted
national attention. It was in charge
of Sergeant Harvey Smith, now con
nected with the Auditor General's
Department.
The application for pardon is
based on statements of Ilagerstown
men that they heard that Patter
son was not guilty of the robbery,
which was particularly atrocious.
He was convicted and sentenced in
the early part of 1910 and in 1915
| was refused pardon.
The new application is protested
by many citizens of Penn, Newton
and Southampton townships on the
ground that Patterson is a danger
our man, by John M. Rliey and Jas
per Alexander, former district at
torneys of Cumberland county, and
by Judge Wilbur F. Sadler, who sen
tenced Patterson. The venerable
judge says that Patterson is an habi
tual criminal whose crimes cover a
quarter of a century and that if re
released he would terrorize the com
munity.
The case will be heard November
19.

Opposing Factions Line
Up For Continuation
of Article Ten Fight
By Associated Prcts
Washington. Nov. 10.—With ap
parently little change in the pro
gram of procedure developed over
the weekend, opposing factions in
the Peace Treaty ratification tight
lined up to-day for a continuation of
the struggle over reservations.
To-day's contest revolved around
the reservation relating to Article 10
of the League of Nations covenant
[ which was recommended by the for
! eign relations committee and which
!t he administration senators desired
most of all to defeat.
Except for the transposition of
ona phrase, the reservation of Article
10 is the same as that which Pres
ident Wilson declared during his
western trip he would regard as a
rejection of rhe Treaty. Its text fol
lows:
"The United States assumes uo
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence of
any other country or to interfere
'in controversy between nations,
j whether members of the League or
I not under the provisions of Article

WOMAN ACCUSES
CITY LAWYER OF
RUNNING DOWN 4
Harrisburg Man Said to Have
Run Away After Bad
Accident
STILL AWAY FROM HOME
Boyertown Girl Writes Al
leged Confession to Bur
gess of Middletown
A Harrisburg attorney to-day was
! accused by a woman of being the
; operator of the automobile which
| last week knocked down Mr. and
! Mrs. Robert Keiper and Mr. and
j Mrs. Millars Zeiters, in a Middle
■ town street. Although both wonton
' were critically injured and lay' at
| the point of death for hours, the
i automobile party did not stop, the
j driver making his escape by increas
j ing his speed.
j Burgess S. B. Gingrich to-day re
; ceived a letter from a Miss Rowe,
j of Boyertown, in which she made
j an alleged confession of the criminal
j speeding. She says in a five-page
I letter that she pleaded with the au
' tomobile owner to stop but that he
| refused. Burgess Gingrich proposes
j bringing criminal suit against the
! attorney.
Accused Before
An effort to trace down the Har
j risburg end of the accident did not
| bring results as it was said at the
: home of the accused attorney that
' he was absent from the city on an
( automobile tour. The same attorney
. a year ago was accused by a woman
| of taking property owned by her.
i The case finally was dropped after
j considerable notoriety.
According to reports from Middle
j town a handbag carried by Miss
Rowe was jolted from the attor
ney's machine and found. Miss Rowe
I is said to have written to the Burg-
I ess saying that the handbag would
j prove her story.
The two women hit by the auto
mobile still are Jn a serious condi
| tiqp, although tlfey now are out of
I danger.
