WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept.
President Wilson has asked the
leaders of both Houses of Congress

them by such an explanation.
it is a common idea in Washing
ton that neither the war aims nor
the war measures are fully under
stood and realized by the people
at large and the growth of a senti
ment hardiy in accoqd with those
aims and measures is observed with
some concern in many quarters.
Regular party politicians have
had quite a little to disturb them
during the past month, not least
of which was the election of John
M. Baer of North Dakota as Con
gressman receiving more votes than
all his opponents of the regular
parties put together, he running on
the National Non-Partisan League
and coming out definitely for a de
claration of the peace terms of the
nation ami for the “government to
take over operate and control dur
ing the war the terminal elevators,
mills, steel mills, packing houses,
refrigerator car lines, arms and
munition factories, shipyards and
railways “declaring that this would
be the most “efficient manner of
stopping the wanton wilful robbery
under the excuse of war by the im
perialists of our own country—the
only real enemies of freedom”.
His election with such a tremend
ous majority was the political sen
sation of the month.

COAL SITUATION BEING
TALKED mm MINERS
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. (5.—It is
not too much to say that the entire
industrial world is watching witli,
considerable anxiety the discussion
by the members of the United iMu
Worker;, of America the question |
of pay.
It is stated by employers tha if j
demands are made for higher wage- -
they cannot be conceded, as owing;
to the price of coal as fixed by the
government such an increase will
be impossible.
Today representatives of the min
ers organization from Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
other districts are now in session
taking up in detail the question of
pay.
The officials of the coal Elinors
organization give out no statement,
but they are very conservative men
and will not endorse an> hasty ac
(ion. The main danger ot a strike
lies in the fact that the increasing
cost of provisions practically rnske
it. impossible to continue la) ©ring
under the present rat; of pay and
that oente steps must >••• taken c-ilh
er to incr a so the present scale or
its purchasing power at present is
admitted by all the unionists.
Th- demand for coal is likely to
be more intern-■> this coming winter
than in a lot g whiU . The industrial
demand for < oul will be greater
than in many years due to war

unexampled energy now dispayed
by the provisional government in
making ready against an invasion
of the north Russian provinces and
especially against an invasion with
the city of Petrograd as the objec

results.
Reports from other sections of
Russia indicate that the national
fervor of the people is being tre

of Riga.
