APPLE JUICE BECOMES NATIONAL BEVERAGE.- New York, Nov. 26. Prohibition has bred a national thirst for cider, '- so irresistible that apple juice promises to become the great Amer ican drink, according to Dr. Eugene H.

The present crop f cider apples is about one-third" that of former years "and the big dealers x are scrambling to get enough to sup ply their customers." "Much has been written and said of hard cider," he sayl, "but in most cases it has been soft cider wearing a wolf's toelt. Hard cider with a natural 'kick' is difficult to make, and more dimcult to keep. .

Washington. Nov. 26. A govern ment plan for settling the soft coal I strike, which embodied a 14 per cent wage increase for miners anH the stipulation that there should be no increase in the price paid by the public, was laid before miners and operators tonight by Fuel Adminis trator Garfield. John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, announced that the miners would not accept. After a three-hour conference at which representatives of the miners openly declared the new scale was "insulting" and sharply questioned Dr. Garfield, he subscale committee composed of miners and operators met to consider the settlement plan and quickly adjourned.- Another meeting'wilt be held tomorrow. Operators Will Negotiate. The miners' refusal to accept, while not announced to Dr. Garfield, was taken by the operator? to be definite. Thomas T. Brewster, chair man of the operators' association, declared, the Garfield 14 per cent statement formally eliminated Secre tary Wilson's proposal for a 30 per cent increase. "The operators are ready to nego tiate a new wage agreement," Brew ster said, "despite P.. Garfield's statement that the government will not permit an advance in the price of coal." - While the subscale committee will give consideration to the proposi tion, the full committee representing both sides, will remain here to re ceive any plan of settlement that might be agreed upbn. William Green, secretary of the United Mine Workers, declared to morrow would see the end pi all ne gotiations, as "the operators are op posed to granting any increase and the miners cannot proceed on the figures given by Dr. Garfield." Many of the miners said they agreed with Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas miners, who announced that it we are unable to receive a wage here that will guarantee us a decent living 365 days in the year we will go home and tight tor a while. Accepts Wilson's Estimate. , In Explaining his statement at the joint conference Dr. Garfield said that in computing the wage advance he had accepted Secretary Wilson's estimate of 79 per cent increase in the cost of living since 1913, which was the highest estimate made by anybody. Dr. Garfield declared that miners today were receiving higher wages without the 14 per cent increase than any other class of workers in the country. i At the opening of the meeting Dr. Garfield read his statement care fully while both sides gave him the closest attention. He declared that it was not a proposal, but a state ment of fact. ' Lewis, jumping to his feet at the conclusion of the fuel administra tor's statement, wanted to know what hadvbecome of the proposal by Secretary Wilson. "The miners came to Washing ton"," Lewis said, "at the request, of Secretary Wilson, who is author ized under the law to arbitrate dis putes. We understood that he repre sented the cabinet and indirectly the president himself.

New Orleans, Nov. 26. Whisky, beer and wines were sold openly over the counter in New Orleans Wednesday nightN after Federal Judge Foster had declared wartime prohibition unconstitutional.

French res taurants served claret with dinners. - Judge Foster, in granting the in junction, ruled that the war came to an official end when congress ad journed recently without rejecting thepeace treaty with Germany. He maintained that . when President, Wilson vetoed the Volstea'U war time prohibition enforcement bill October 28 the 'president declared the army and navy forces demobi lized. Judge Foster- formerly held that 2.75 per cent beer was non-intoxicating. Above the enthusiasm of liquor dealers, however, loomed the warn ing of , the United States district at-, torr.ey and the internal revenue col lector that a strict 'record was be ing kept of liquor selling and that should the supreme court of 'the United States declare the wartime prohibition act constitutional, prose cutions, would be instituted.
