SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE IS HOPED TODAY

Cabinet Meets to Reach Basis of Compromise Between Coalmen Operators May Have to Stand Rises. PROFITS ARE HUGE? (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. President Wilson's cabinet expected to reach a. decision today on the wage controversy between the bituminous miners and operators that would send the miners back to work. Before entering the meeting, Attor-hey-General Palmer said that if the figures as to operator's profits given by former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo were correct, it was not likely that fuel administrator Garfield would permit an increase in the price of coal. Any wage advances granted, it was Intimated, would have to come out of the operators profits. Wage scale committees in the central competitive field arranged a meeting for 10 a. m. today but it was not thought likely the gathering would bring results. The cabinet session was set for this afternoon. Fuel Administrator Garfield in calling together yesterday the operators and miners representing all sections, ffave them a summary of principles which he said would guide the administration in preparing a final plan for settlement. Both factions had different opinions, after listening to the statement as to what increase, if any, would be allowed in the price of coal and the compensation of miners, if the government's plan became effective. Spokesmen from both operators and miners insisted Dr. Garfield meant that their contradictory contentions were to be Incorporated into an agreement and both sides awaited further official information. City Practices Rigid Saving; Need Greater With the'.r coal supply cut off for the past week, none of the Richmond factories" have sent out a distress signal for fuel, according to railroad officials, although industries are stringently conserving. Ccal Is being supplied to public utilities as required, and with all of of the state commission's orders being carried out, the outlook for the city's electric supply is somewhat easier. Strict economy Is still necessary to prevent the cutting off of the city's electric power supply, however. Although the supply of fuel for the pumping station at the water works Is limited, there is no danger of a decrease in water pressure in case of firp. according: to water works offi cials. The ordinary pressure for the; city is supplied by the reservoir, but In case of need for extra pressure, the supply of fuel at the pumping station is sufficient to maintain it.

Action Yet, Warn Berlin Editors (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Monday, Nov. 25 Theodore Wolff, editor-in-chief of the Berliner Tageblatt, and George Bernhard, political writer of the Vossiche Zeitung, today warned their readers against passing premature judgment on the failure of the United States senate to ratify the peace treaty, in view of the sporadic manner in which American news arrives in Berlin and the utter absence of safe control of bulletins ostensibly reflecting the attitude of the senate. Herr Wolff declares that even if the senate should finally ratify the treaty the impression would continue to prevail among the Europe associates of the United States that American opposition to further participation in the effort to untangle the European chaos was so strongly pronounced that future American guarantees would be looked upon as something not wholly reliable. He questions whether Germany would benefit through a withdrawal of the American troops in Coblenz area and the absence of American members from the various peace conference commissions.

In Indianapolis this week practically all stores and factories are being closed at 4 p. m. daily and all manufacturing concerns except those necessary to the public welfare will be closed all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In at least two other cities in the state early closing of stores and elimination of electric sign and street lighting is effective and several other cities are considering adoption of similar measures. No miners have returned to work in the Indiana coal fields, although mines Monday were made ready to resume operation on the belief that there would be some assurance of settlement of the strike at tonAt International headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America here, It was hoped that the statement of tonner Secretary of the Treasury W.
