Miners in the United States have an 8-hour day. but that doesn't count until they set to the face of the coal. They are in real ity working nine and a half hours a day." Await Miners Answer. Washington, Oct. 26.r-Th whole country waited expectantly today for the miners' answer to President Wilson blunt command that the soft coal strike ordereM for Satur day be called off. There was not a word, however, to show where the United Mine Workers of America stood, or what the government would do jn the event the president's solemn warn ing that the mines must be kept in full and continuous operation was ignored. Considering the temper of labor, officials at Washington took the viavv tint while there was hope of compliance by the half million mip- ers who had been ordered out, there was no absolute assurance that the president's latest part appeal and part' command would bring peace to-the coal fields. But there seemed to be no doubt of the government's determination to see that the people obtained an adequate coal supply to keep them from suffering and par' mit the nation's vast industries to continue operation. While declining naturally to com,' ment on the future course of action should the strike take place, mem bers of the, prcsidjiet's cabinet intU mated that the government would not sit with folded hands in the face of threatened industrial disaster. Lewis on Way Horn, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, the one man whose word would have most weight with the half million ready to walk out, ws out 3f touch with labor Jeaders here, while speeding homeward to take personal charge of the strike, Lewis left Washington last night for Spring field. 111., proclaiming to the la,st that the situation was unchanged and that the union was st.li ready and willing to negotiate a n w wage agreement. So ,ar as it concerned the contro versy between the miners and opi aters the outstanding decla-ation by President Wilson was that the war time agreement, which the miners contend no longer exists, still is in ful force and effect, and wiU stand during the continuance of the war( but not beyond Ap'riJ I, J920. Yet Hopeful of Peace, Looking at it in "a, practical way," Lewis and the full scale committee have steadfastly maintained that the war ended with the armistice and that the miners for a full year have worked at the old wage as their vol untary contribution to the job pf helping the country ge hack, to normal. There was a suggestion tonight that the cabinet might decide to send Secretary of L,ahor Wilson to IiViianapolis to confer with the ex eoutive board of, the United Mine Worker? of America, which will meet there Wednesday, Labor lead ers here said that in view of th ef farts made by the secretary to settle the strike and in the light of the president' emphatic announcement that the mines had to remain open, a personal word spoken to members of the board might pave the way for peace. Regular Striae Call. The strike call was Issued and signed by executive'officers of the United Mine Worker? "in conform ity with the authority vested by the international convention'' at Cleve land, on September 23, and while President Lewis declined while here to discuss this phase of the ques tion it Is held that the men who had the oower to order the strike like wise have the power to call it off, Sonre labor officials said the exeeu- THE BEE: OMAHA'r MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1919. tive board could act for the whole organization, and that Lewis and the other Macutiv officers could hold up or withdraw the strike or der if they saw fit to do so. James Lord, president of the mine workers division ef the American Federation of Labor, declined to comment on the strike situation. It was said tonight there would be no announcement of the government's policy respecting ' operation of the mines until it was definitely known whether the unions would insist on the strike, But there teemed to he no doubt of the fact that ample pro tection would be afforded miners who stuck to their jobs. Inasmuch as there was no atrikt vote by the men the belief prevails in some quar ters that not all the thousands af fected by the order to walk out will obey. The next movement toward set tlement Qf the strike ,it was said, must come from the miners, the operators having accepted "in its en tirety'' President Wilson's proposal, made to the joint conference Friday, that the two sides start with a new slate, negotiate their differences, re sorting to arbitration only when negotiations (ailed and keep the mines in operation. Officials believe it is possible to reopen the case in view of Lewis statement that the miners were will, ilig to negotiate a new wage agree ment, the big bone of contention. Full Co-Opsration. Springfield. III., Oct, 26, Full co operation of the state pf Illinois with President Wilson in the presi dent's announced stand against the strike of coal miners, scheduled for November 1, was pledged by Gov. Frank 0. Lowden, "to the end that the people shall not suffer," in a statement issued here. Governor's Suggestion. Declaring that "a genera! strike would seem, in effect, tq substitute Soviets for the duly constituted authority of the land," Governor Lpwden suggested that "compulsory arbitration of the differences be, tween employers and employes might become necessary ; The governor said the strike was "a strike against the American pub tic," ITheTe was no hint of any in tention to use state troops to put down possible disturbances- due to the threatened strike. Governor Lowden's statement folr lows; - . t . "Th statement of the president makes the issue plain. When a spe cial interest conflicts with the inter ests of the people as a whole, the former must give way. The strike, no doubt, has been the most power ful veapon in the hands of labor to improve its condition?. So long as the strike affected directly only the employer, the public could not ob ject. The threatened coal strike, however, 4s a strike against the American public. In fact, it is like ly that the public will -suffer more than' the operators themselves. Must B Under Control, "Whenever any organization, whether of capital or labor, becomes so powerful as to be able to give or to withhold from the public the ne cessities of life, such organization must come under the control of the government. Otherwise the part becomes greater than the whole. If th? only alternative to a strike or to labor difficulties of any nature is the compulsory arbitration pf differ ences between employers and em ployes engaged in such vital under-, takings, compulsory arbitratien to that extent will have to come. Those leaders of labor who meet such a suggestion with' the threat of a gen eral strike do not help the cause of labor, A general strike' would mean, in effect, an effqrt to substitute So viets for the duly constituted authority of the lan,& The people are not yet ready to abandon their form of government.

' 1 ; jtl 1 ; op ; Ancient Churches of the Swiss, Amid Alpine Hills, Illustrated, in Sunday Bee The story of the wonderful and historic churches of Switzerland, where Christianity was nurtured in the early centuries, is told in a full page, Illustrated, to appear in the Sunday Bee. This story, by a brilliant writer who spent months visiting the scenes described, should be of great interest to every believer, and is valuable for the wealth of his. toric data searched out amid the- wonderful libraries of these ancient churches, monasteries and convents. In addition, the story is written in the graphic, light some style of the trained journalist, and is absprbing for its tales and legends of the ancients the story of Charle magne and the snake that moved him to build a wonderful church, and the miracle image of the Holy Virgin in the black marble chapel of Efnsiedeln which survived five fires. The story tells of the venerable cathedral at Geneva where Calvin first thundered his doctrines to the world, together with the histories and stories of the out-of-the-way edifices amid the valleys and perched on the hillsides and mountain tops of the rugged Alpines. The story of these churches, the veritable cradles of Christianity in Europe, is complete, beginning with the earliest structures, and is exhaustive in historic detail, much of which is not to be found outside of books of ref erence buried in almost inaccessible European libraries, or from the annals of the churches themselves., The story, of course, is wholly undenominational in character, and is confined to the history, description and legends of the edifices themselves, Think of the 13 ap proaches of 11 stairways each leading into a magnificent edifice constructed hundreds of years agoa marvel of architecture that would be considered wonderful even in our modern times. will be drawn up at the meeting of the international executive board, of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica to be held here Wednesday, ac cording to a statement today by William Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Wortcers.

"I suppose that a suitable reply to the president's statement will be drawn up at the meeting Wednes day," said Mr. Green. -"The meet ing had already been called for that date, but consideration of the presi dent's statement will now be the most important business before the board," Will Support Wilson, Taeoma, Wash., Oct. 26.-3-Gov.

There were few to see the simpie ceremony, for the skies were leaden and his majesty passed through Long Island almost unrecognized. The king and the little party who accompanied him were met at the gates of - Young's Memorial ceme tery in Oyster Bay by Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, wh escorted the Belgian monarch to the plot where lies the former president. Al bert strode up the slops carrying on his right arm a huge wreath in the colors of his country yellow' and dark red asters, tied with a black ribbon. The king and the eldest son of the great American went alone inside, the irori gate which bars the wy against intruders. The monarch Stopped and laid the flowers rever ently upon the grave. Then he Stood for a feyv moments, cap in hantj, gaiing at the simple granite slab which bears the name of Theo dore Roosevelt, bowed deeply, and stepped backward outside the fence. There were ters in the eyes of the younger man as he followed. , The little procession then mo tored to Sagamore Hill, where Al bert was welcomed by the widow of Colonel Roosevelt, who chai'cd with him in his own tongue.

Suffered Agony Ere They Met Death (Continued from Pa One.) ber 6, they were landed from a canoe on the shores of Bahia Los Angles, by the same fishermen who are accused of having killed them five days laier, and at that time were only 12 miles from Los Florres Sil ver mines, where they might have received protection and food. Describe Losing Way. One of their messages, scrawled on the airplane fuselage with a knife or nail, gave details of how the aviators lost their way. The mes sage said the airmen remained in the air four hours and five minutes, that they ran into a rain storm and Jost their sense of direction. When they sighted the Gulf of California they thought they were flying up the coast instead of southward along the east coast of the Gulf of Cali fornia. . Another message traced on the wings and fuselage told how the air men attempted vainly for two days to catch fish to appease their hunger. They then started walking north ward toward the border, but re turned to their airplane in 36 hours when their supply of water became exhausted. The airmen drank the water from the radiator of the air plane. This proved sufficient to al lay their thirst up to the time they were taken to Bahia Los Angeles from Guadeloupe bay, where the plane landed, by the fishermen. The party, which left San Diegq October 16, included, besides Ma jor Brattpn, who is attached to tle 25th infantry at Nogales, Ariz., two other army officers and several officials and soldiers of the north ern district of Lower California, and Joe Allen Richards, mining engineer, who first reported finding the bodies. Account of Expedition. Major Bratton in an account of the expedition said: "'The Aaron Ward arrived at Bahia Los Angeles, at 3;15 p. m. October 19. We immediately went ashore, with Richards acting asJ guide, and in a few moments had discovered the grave. Tne bodies had been disturbed, the skulls bei'ig found under some brush 10 feet dis tant from the bodies.- "The bodies were then disinterred and the formal inquest started. "There was absolutely no question that the bodies were those of Con nolly and Waterhouse." The officer then told of the party's going up the gulf to Guade loupe bay, 25 miles to the north ward, where the plane piloted by Connolly and Waterhouse was dis covered on the beach. "The two airmen had made a per fect landing," he continued, "but Mexicans subsequently removed the motor from the fuselage, stole all the ammunition for the two ma chine guns, and carried ..way other equipment. The motor evidently was too heavy to carry away, and it was found nearby. The wheels, engine, machine guns, compass and other equipment worth salvaging were taken aboard the Ward. "We took notes of all the mes sages scratched on the fuselage and wings, the first one of which was made five days after the men had landed. Told of Losing Way. "In this, the men told how they had lost tBeir way, how they had tried Unsuccessfully to signal a pass ing boat, their lack of success at catching fish and the growing hun ger which rapidly was making them weaker. On the last week of their vigil both men scratched a farewell message to their mothers. At that time the men must have been near starvation. "September 6, the aviators were picked up by two fishermen from the Mexican sloop vEsperanza, who rowed them in a canoe to Bahia Los Angeles. It is doubtful if Con nolly and Waterhouse were given anything nourishing by the fisher men. Just what the two aviators did between the time they landed at Bahia Los Angeles September 6 until they were murdered the night of September 11, is not known def initely. It is a pathetic fact, how ever, that Waterhouse and Connolly could have secured food and shelter at the Los Forres mine 12 miles to the southward, if they had had the strength to traverse the rough mountainous trail that led to this refuge. Stabbed to Death. "Through investigations conduct ed jointly by ourselves and the Mexican court officials, we found that Waterhouse and Connolly had been murdered by two fishermen from., the Esperanza. Waterhouse was stabbed to death, evidently while asleep. Connolly was killed by a terrific blow from some instru ment which fractured his skull. He also was stabbed. The evidence shows the motive evidently was rob bery. The Mexicans, however, se cured only a few dollars. "After the" murder the Mexicans covered the bodies lightly with sand. A few hours later, the morn ing of September 12, to be extct, the bodies were discovered by Capt. Jack Ross of the American schooner Trojan. Ross' discovery was di rectly due to the fact that one arm of each of the airmen was sticking up out of the sand. The index finger of Connolly's right hand had been severed. Waterhouse's hand and arm showed several stab wounds. Respect Customs. "Aware of Mexican customs con cerning the dead, Captain Ross did not take the bodies aboard the Tro jan, His report of the finding of the bodies did not reach the army intelligence officers at, Nogales until three days after Jot Richards personally reported to that office. Richards found the bodies Septem ber 21. Therefore Richards will be paid the $1,000 reward offered by the government for information leading to the recovery of the bodies and airplane. , "Immediately after tracing the murderers, Mexican officials got in touch with M. Metzas, governor of the southern district of Lower Cal ifornia, in whose territory the fish ermen had fled. The murder oc curred in territory under the juris diction of Governor Cantu and the trial courts of the northern dis trict." Major Bratton telegraphed a re port of his investigation to the ad jutant general of the army at Wash ington. Full ' military honors were ac corded the airmen as the caskets, draped with the Stars and Stripes, were carried from the deck of the destroyer to the municipal pier. Parents of both Waterhouse and Connolly were at the dock to meet the destroyer when it docked. The body of Waterhouse will be shipped to Weiser, Idaho, tomorrow afternoon for interment. Connolly will be buried with military honors in the post cemetery on Point Loma next Tuesday. Three brother airmen flew over head jn battle formation while the Aaron Ward steamed up the bay. Search for Murderers. Washington, Oct. 26. At the di rection of the state department an intensive search is being conducted for the murderers of Lieuts. Cecil H. Connolly and Frederick B. Water house, army aviators, whose bodies were found buried on the Lower California coast, it was said tonight by department officials. A report on the finding of the two aviators' bodies reached the depart ment some time ago, but officials refused to comment on the an nouncement made tonight in San Diego by Maj. R. S, Bratton that the officers were killed by Mexicans. Owing to the often expressed friendship of the Lower California administration of Gov. Cantu, it was considered in unofficial quarters to night that the prospects of appre hending the slayers of the Ameri cans were more hopeful thn bad the murders been committed in other portions pf Mexico. No dispatches reached the state department during the day in reply to the demand "made yesterday on the Mexican government that it ob tain the release at any cost of Will iam O.

" Constantinople, Oct. 26. Tne press of Constantinople has lately called attention to the alarming in crease of venereal disease in Tur key, and especially in the capital. This disease was by no means common at Constantinople until about 1913. According to informa tion from a well-informed Turkish source, the number of women and girls at present known to be under going medical treatment for vene real disease in Constantinople and its suburbs is close on 40,000, an appalling total in a population of about 1,100,000 inhabitants of both sexes. The old regime in Turkey, while it tolerated the professional practice of vice, enforced a strict observance of public morals on Moslem women a But at present the Turkish poli tician sees no way of grappling with the problem. The Conserva tives ascribe the existing- demoral ization to the doffing of the veil by great numbers of Moslem wom en, although there is good reason to believe that the wearing of the veil facilitates clandestine immoral ity, although the great majority of the unveiled women of the effendi class lead respectable lives. Nor has the new ' government been able to check the growth of raki drinking among the Turkish working class, or the increase in the number of' private gambling clubs run by effendis to any appre ciable extent. These are all new vices for the Moslems. Woman Discovers New Star High In the Heavens Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 25. A new star, which blazed from ob scurity to a comparatively promi nent position in the sky, has been found by Miss Johanna C. S. Mackis of the Harvard college observatory.

Miss Mackie made her find in the courss cf the systematic search of photo graphic plates for new stars which now is in progress at the observa tory. The Mackie star was not Lund on any plate taken earlier than Au gust 20. On that night its burst of flame broke the dullness of tin space between a star of the 14th and another of the 12th magnitude The nova when first observed was of 9.4 magnitude.
