CABINET HOPES
TO DECIDE COAL
WAGE ARGUMENT
Palmer Says Fuel Administra
tion May Not Allow Ad
vance in Price
MINING COST IS SHOWN
Intimated the Operators Will
Have to Bear Any Pay
Increases
i
By Associated Press.
•Yashiiigton. Nov. 25. —President
Wilson's Cabinet expected to reach
a decision to-day on the wage eon- ,
troversy between the bituminous coal
miners and operators that would ,
send the miners back to work.
Before ending the meeting. Attor
ney General Palmer said that if the
figures as to operators' profits gfven
yesterday by furme-r Secretary of the
Treasury MoAdoo were correct, it :
was not likely that Fuel Administra
tor Garlield would permit an in- i
creased price for coal. Any wage |
advance granted, it was, intimated, !
tvbnhi have to come out of operators' >
profits. , ,
Deadlock Unbroken
Dr. Garfield took to the cabinet
meeting bituminous coal production
ost figures prepared by H. V. Nor
t is. engineer for the fuel administru- !
lion during the war, who has been
bringing up to date the cost sheets.
These figures were expected to fur
nish the basis for an agreement in
the cabinet as tjo the amount of the ■
wage increase the operators would '
be called upon to bear.
Operators and miners spent two
hours in conference" to-day without
breaking the deadlock as to wages.
Leaders on both sides said the nego
tiations would not be continued un- |
til after the cabinet had acted.
Owing to the disagreement which
ltad arisen as to the amount of the 1
increase in the cost of living, and ;
consequently the per cent, of wage
advance needed to meet higher living ]
costs, great significance was attach- i
ed to Dr. Garfield's declaration that i
"the average total increase in pay i
over the 1913 base, which was the;
base considered in 1917, should not
exceed the present increase in the j
cost of living over the same base." !
"It is also to be considered that j
the cost of living will fall rather j
than rise during thp "text few*years," '
he added. '
Operators* View
Operators construed this state- j
ment as in conflict with the conten- ;
tion of Secretary Wilson that miners ;
should be given a thirty-one per !
cent, wage advance to equalize the j
margin between present wages and a •
seventy-nine per cent, rise in living i
cost since 1*914.
Pointing out that war-time coal j
prices were fixed for# he purpose of ,
stimulating production, Dr. Garfield
declared that the public would not i
now pay the increase over normal :
profits allowed during the war. His !
further statement that any wage in- j
crease should be "borne bv the oper- j
ators or the public, or both," was J
generally taken to mean that part >
of the advance must come out of the i
excess profits of the mining com- j
panies.
Garfield's Principles
The five principles announced by !
Dr. Garfield were:
"First—The public must not be 1
asked to pay more than it is now
paying for coal unless it is necessary |
to do so in order to provide reason- J
able wages to the mine workers and
a reasonable profit to the operators, i
"Second —The arrangement en- j
tered into between the operators, the
mine workers and the fuel adminis- I
tration, with the sanction of the |
President of the United States in Oc- j
tober. 1917. was intended to equalize j
the wages of all classes of mine j
workers and to be sufficient to cover I
the period of the war, but not be- j
yond March 31. 1 920; hence the l
only increase in cost of living which j
can now be considered is the in- I
crease above that provided for by '■
the average increase in 1917: that!
is to say. the average total increase j
in pay over the 1913 base, which '
was the base considered in 1917, j
should not exceed the present aver- j
age increase in the cost of living |
over the same base. It is also to be |
considered that the cost of living ;
will fall rather than rise during the j
next few years.
"Third —The maximum prices I
fixed by the government on coal 1
were calculated to increase produc- I
tion of coal for war purposes. Coal i
was basic and the increase impera- i
tivc. The public* ought not to be
asked to pay and will not now pay I
the increase over normal profits |
then allowed for the purpose of |
stimulating production.
"Fourth —Any increases in wages j
now arrived at on the basis of the j
foregoing principles should be borne !
by the operators or the public or !
both as may be determined by the
application of these principles and
should take, effect as of the date
when the men return to work.
"Fifth—The needs of the United
States are not alone to be consider
ed: Europe is in desperate need of
coal and should have all that we
ohn spare." '

ious World, Will Pay Har
risburg Two-Day Visit
MEN OF ALL FAITHS MAY
VISIT HIM AT CHURCH
James Moore Hickson, fa
tuous apostle of healing by
faith, who for the past year has
been conducting missions of
healing in all the larger cities of
America, is to be in St. Steph
en's Church, December 1J and
14. In every city, where he has
ministered the churches were
found too small to hold the
great throngS that came to be
healed. From every city visited
by him come reports of miracu
lous cures
Hickson is described as a man of
the prosperous businessman type,
quiet and unassuming and entirely
devoid of any clerical appearance.
He is a layman of the Episcopal
church, but ministers to all who
seek his aid.*
Many Cures Reported
English by birth, Hickson first
conducted missions of healing
throughout England, and achieved
fame. Through the efforts of Dr.
Manning, rector of Trinity church.
New York, a personal friend, Mr.
Hickson came to America to preach
and demonstrate his beliefs. It was
in Trinity church. New York, that
he first achieved his fame in Amer
ica. For several weeks that great
church was thronged to the doors.
Hickson does not claim to be able
to bring about immediate cures, but
reports of miraculous cures have
overwhelmed his denial of the abll

DEPENDS ON FAITH
TO EFFECT CURES
Mr. Hickson's reputation as a
faith healer has met the full ap
proval of tlie Episcopal Church
in the United States. His meth
od of helping the physically and
mentally unfortunate is Said to
be based entirely upon a literal
interpretation of the Bible.
At no time has Mr. Hickson
claimed to cure the ills of the
world. He suggests that the un
fortunute follow the advice given
in the New Testament and have
faitli in Heaven.

"Tge bylaw which this beneficial

prohibited by law," said he. "It ,
means that poor men who have paid I
their money into this beneficial or-;
ganization, chartered under the laws I
,of Pennsylvania, can be expelled j
from the organization for no legal j
I cause and all moneys that they have i
' paid into it be forfeited. It is just ;
as though a man had paid pre- 1
i miunis on a life insurance policy and !
! because he did not join in a strike j
I his policy would be declared null ;

' ed by the State.
"I have begun these proceedings j

"If anyone anywhere in the State

Described by Several Harrisburg Newspapers as "Beautiful" and Whom
, Her Friends Expect to Come Back
Persons who met Miss Virigr/.a Care and D. L. Bumgurten while the
two were in the city said they hardly come up to the description given
them by several Harrisburg newspapers. Businessmen who believe they
were fleeced by Miss Care in her advertising solicitations say they were not
influenced by Miss Cure's beauty. Indeed, they say Miss Care hardly
come within "fair, fat and forty." A young woman visitor was classed as
a "good looker," but she did not take part in any of the collection work
which has set several constables on Miss fare's trail. It also developed
to-day that Miss Care and Bumgarten were not received with open arms
by socially prominent Harrisburgers and their "lavish" entertainments
consisted mainly of dinner*in a hotel, for which they paid. The other
figure is that of Bumgarten.
Allied Action Will
Prevent Adriatic War
By Associated Press.
j Geneva, Monday, Nov. 24.—Tele
! grams received by tbe Siberian
[ bureau at Berne from Belgrade, Zara
and Spalato conveyed the impression
that only prompt interference by
the Allies can prevent war over the*
Adriatic situation as the Jugo-Slavs
are said to have lost patience and to'
be ready to fight the Italians.
"We are astonished that the peace
conference permits our people to in
jdnre constant Italian persecutions."
j says one Belgrade paper received
i here.
! "Our peaceful attitude is praise
worthy when we might throw D'An
nunzio and his filibusters into the
sea."
Another newspaper accuses Italy
; of desiring to blockade Jugo-Slavia's
I experts and imports and thus "stran
! gle her." A third repents recent re
! ports that a reign of terror prevails
in Zara, that everybody must wear
a brassard inscribed "Italy or death"
or be badly treated, and that Slavs
I are afraid to leave their houses.
i Paris, Monday, Nov. 24.—Dis
i patches confirming reports from
j Geneva that the situation along the
j eastern shore of the Adriatic is crit
j ical are issued by the Jugo-Slav
