During a special session of the cab
inet today, called for the purpose
of considering the coal strike situ
ation, Attorney-General Palmer in
formed the members that possibly
Fuel Administrator Garfield would
be authorized to compel the coal
mine operators to pay their em
ployes the advance in wages de
manded by them, and to shoulder
the entire burden of such addi
tional advance, instead of making
the public pay part of it as sug
gested by some of the operators.
The operators. Palmer said, could
take the money from the profils
made by them during the war.
Deadlocked.
The coal mine owners and repre
sentatives of the striking coal min
ers were in conference today for
two hours, but at the end of that j
time they were no nearer an agree- i
ment than when the conference j
started.

There is considerable talk in this t
city this afternoon of referring the;
whole coal question to President j
Wilson for settlement. The Presi- :
dent, thus far, has taken no part in !
the discussion, beyond paving the
way for the conference of opera
tors and employes.
RELEASE OF AGENT
IS EXPECTED SOON
I WASHINGTON', D. C., Nov. 25.—
Although there have been no new
'developments in the Mexican situa
tion, members of the cabinet are
; confident that Carranza will comply
.with the American demand that
■Consular Agent Jenkins be released
1
I immediately. The situation was dis
cussed at a meeting of the cabinet
this afternoon, up to which time
no reply had been received from the
| Mexican government to the Ameri
can "note.
The American note, in addition
to demanding hne release of Jen
kins, warned the Mexicans that any '
farther molestation of the agent
would seriously affect relations be-;
tween America and Mexico. It is
not known, however, what action
will be taken in case the Mexicans i
ignore the note altogether, since the ,
cabinet meeting adjourned without .
a decision being reached.
The failure of Carranza to make
reply to the note has caused much
unfavorable comment here, and the .
administration is being severely j
criticized for not assuming a more j
aggressive attitude toward the I
Southern republic.

jto messages received from him en
i route.
The editor of a local newspaper
[received a note from him yesterday
in which the bandit stated that he
had reached Erie, Pa. The chief
of police of Atlanta, Ga., also re
iceived a message from Carlisle, in
^ which he announced that he had
[just arrived in Atlanta and that he
! intended to stage a robbery on the
Southern railway soon.
A11 the messages were signed by
Carlisle, but there are some among
the officers who believe practical
jokers are trying to have a little
fun at the expense of the authori
ties.
