So Says President in Issuing Solemn Warning to Miners. Washington, Oct. 25.-Holding the impending coal strike to be not I only unqust i liable, but also unlawful, President .Wilson in a statement is sued to-night, with the support of his ont|re Cabinet, 'called on the coal mln?/?!of the nation, both union officers atjn-members, to rescind tho strike owor effective Nov. 1. Tjie l'Pn$id?}& /teolined to enter. !rtt.9;t;*lit^^lo? miT*trov?Ty betwen'tne miners and operators, but-^emphatically deolared that tile strike, which h? characterized as the most far-reaching proposal in the nation's history to restrict produc tion and distribution of ail neces saries of life, had apparently been ordered without a vote of the indi vidual miners concerned. For this reason the President served definite notice "that the law will be en forced and the means will be found to protoct the interests of the na tion if any emergency may arise out of this unhappy business." The President's statement was is sued to-night after his cabinet had gone over the entire situation with Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Labor, whose efforts to bring miners and operators together In negotiations had failed. The cabi net, with only Secretary Lansing (detained at home by illness) miss ing, met first in the morning and I again to-night. Rear Admiral Grny son, the President's personal physi cian, was summoned to the even ing session. Apparently he agreed to the submission of the matter to his patient, for soon afterward the cabinet meeting broke up and the President's statement was issued. The President in his statement re viewed the steps leading up to* the strike call, Including the Cleveland (convention of the United Mine Work ers of America one month ago, at which the demands for a 30-hour week and a 60 per cent increase in wngos was formulated. The war in itffelf, the President asserted, still was a fact, peace negotiations still in suspense and troops still being transported. Because of these factors and the added consideration Imu victims of the strike would be among both the rich and the poor of the nation, the President said the proposed walk-out could only bo considered as unlaw ful, and as the nation's executive, en trusted with tho enforcement of the law, he would use the means at his disposal to prevent any stoppage of work. The services of the government as mediator, offered yesterday by the President through Secretary Wilson, but not accepted, wero again hold out, the President declaring that he held himself in readiness, at the re quest of either or both sides, to ap point a commission to investigate tho situation, to effect an orderly settlement of disputed questions with due recognition of the rights of tho miners, the operators and the pub lic. There was no direct intimation of what /deps the cabinet had discussed to prevent stoppage of work should the President's solemn warning to the miners to rescind the strike order fail of result. It was regarded ns significant, however, that atten tion was drnwn in White House circles to the statements made by Secretary Baker In a recent address in Cleveland, when h? announced that department commanders had boen directed to furnish troops at tho request of Governors without re ferring the matter to Washington. Major Con. Wood in the central de partment, has already oxercised that authority in tho steel strlko situa tion. 1 COLORED BOY KURT AT SENECA, Seneca Lady Died in Anderson-Bits of Personal NOWH.

Washington, Oct. 2 5.^President Wilson to-day addressed the follow ing letter to the people of the coun try appealing for support on the third Hod CroBS roll call, which ls to he held from November 2 to ll: "AH President of the United States and as president of the American Hod Cross, 1 recommend and urge a generous response to the third Red Cross roll call, which opens on No vember 2, with the observance of Red Cross Sunday, and appropriate ly closes on November ll, tho drat anniversary of tho signing of t? o ar mistice. "Twenty million adults joined tho Red Cross during tho war, prompted by n patriotic desiro to render ser vice to their country and to the cause for which tho United States was engaged In war. Our patriotism should stand the test of pence as well ns the test of war, and lt is an In telligently patriotic program which the Red Cross proposes-a continu ance of service to our soldiers and sailors, who look to it for many things, and a transference to tho problems of peace at home of the ex periences and methods which it ac quired during tlio war. Stresse? Membership Feature. "lt is on membership more than money contributions that the stress of tbe present campaign is laid, for tho Red Cross seeks to associate the people in welfai? work throughout the land, especially in those com munities where neither official nor unofficial provision has been made for adequate public health and social service. "It is In the spirit of democracy that the people should undertake their own welfare activities, and the National Red Cross wisely intends to exert upon community action a stimulating and co-ordinating in fluence and to placo the energies of the organization behind all sound publie health an.d .volfuro agencies. VThe AmerlcauvRed Crofts doe&'hot purpose indefinite prolongation ot ita" relief work. abroad* jft pblipy^whloU would lay an unj^^t )mrd?n upotj> pur Own pepple and, tend-i WtH?de>nuM; of completion td "he imrformW7J>eV fore the American Red Cross can honorably withdraw from " Europe* Tho Congross of the United States has Imposed upon the Rod Cross a continuing rcsponslblity abroad by authorizing the Secretary of War to transfer to the American Red Cross such surplus army medical supplies and supplementary dietary foodstuffs now in Europe as shall not be re quired by the army, to bo used by the Red Cross to relieve tho distress which continuos in certain countries of Europe as n result of tho war. Money Needed U> Carry on Work. "To finance these operations, to conclude work which was begun during the war, and to carry out some comparitively inexpensive con structive plans for assisting peoples in eastern Europe to develop their own welfare organizations, the American Red Cross requires, in ad dition to membership fees, a sum of money, small In comparison with gifts poured into its treasury by our generous people during the war. "Both the greater enduring domes tic program and the lesser tempor ary foreign program of the Red Cross deserve enthusiastic support, and 1 venture to hope that Its peace-time membership will exceed rather than fall below Its Impressive war-mem bership.
