The.Brltish coal iifcike will start Saturday according to 'decision reached by executives of the iSilnerg union today. The executives decided to permit the strike notices 'previously sent out to go into effect Saturday. The strike notices were postponed twice, once to permit the executives further time for negotiation's with the and again to allow a bal- i Jot on the owners' proposition for in- wages' based on a higher pro-ductlon line. Minimum Line Clause Scorned. The minimum line of production clause of the.

owners' proposition was rtgarded with suspicion by the miners who voted by over 600,000 to 100,000 to reject it. The vote was not on the question of striking, which had been determined previously, but In view of the emphatic rejectioii of the proposal, anion heads decided to permit the strike notice to become effective on the expiration date, Saturday. 1 Prior to the meeting today newspapers here discussed the possibility of a strike in a somewhat optimistic vein, Relieving that the first result would be Confident of Election, Democratic Nominee Says He Will Carry "Mandate From the People to the Senate." ATTACKS TAFT'S ATTITUDE tBy Hertot VT, WMItwr, United FrM Correspondent. EN ROUTE WITH GOVERNOR VAN WERT, Oct. 14.

As serting the Presidential election will lie a referendum on the League of Na tions, Governor Cox, in opening a three 1 day stump campaign in Ohio today, declared here his election would be "a mandate from he peoplo4o the Senate to ratify the and that for it to do otherwise would be "unthinkable." His statement was. in reply to the claim of ex-president Taft that even If the Democrats elected all their Ron- 'atorial candidates they would have enough to carry the League. "This statement of Mr; Taft," Cox said, "can mean only one thing, that when I am elected on a Etratehforwtml platform favoring the League of Na tions it is the purpose of the brazen conspirators In the Senate to treat the mandate pf the people with contempt and turn their backs on the expressed will of the electorate. This, in the first place, ts unthinkable, and, in the sec ond place, will not be permitted, for after all this is a democracy and the will of the people is triumphant." Questions Taft's Policy. Cos, for the third time during the week, sharply attacked Taft for continuing to support Hnrdine after the latter's statement in DesMMnes that he would reject the Versailles Covenant.

Cox out with the campaign a League referendum, his defeat would mean the country desires to stay out of the League and Senator Harding would be disobeying the mandate of the people If he yielded to Taft's wishes and made the United States a member. Cox today was to speak at Delphos, Lima, Wapakoneta, Sidney, Uruana, and Piqua, and conclude the day at Columbus with what he expects to he one of the outstanding speeches of the campaign.

A big auctioneer and a tiny, gray-haired man, with the light of hope fading from his eyes, played the leading roles in one of life's tragedies of old age and poverty today, when the personal effects of the late Countess Ma grl, who was the widow of Gen. Tom Thumb, were sold to the highest bidder. Count Magri, no larger than a 6-year-old child, sat In a diminutive chair, a silent, pathetic figure, while the treasures of his wife and their home were auctioned off. The Count, who for years toweled with his wife in curcuses and upon the stage, is poor and in ill health. He had been ordered to a warmer climate.

His hope of restitution of health lies in the thump of the auctioneer's hammer. The sale has been under way two days and only has been realized, although many of the articles are gone. A tiny Inlaid Japanese sewing box, much used by the Countess, was sold for only $22. The little mahogany bed with its delicately wrought canopy, a gift from P. T.

Returning from a visit to the United States Robert Pasqlera, personal representative of President De la Hueita, today charged that Washington swarms with lobbyists working against Mexican interests and endeavoring to keep the United States and Mexico apart.

While denying that his visit to Washington was an attempt to get the United States to recognize the new Government of Mexico, he asserted that "there are two groups among the oil men who desire continued friction between the two coun'tries."

Vllna, an ancient city 225 miles northeast of here, seems likely to become a new sore spot in Europe, more painful even than Flume. The narrow, crooked streets of the old city are now patroled by Polish irregulars who took the place under leadership of General Zeligowski. The Lithuanians, who wanted the town as their capital, are much incensed and the Allies Britain and France want Zeliiiowekl to get out so that peace may be preserved. They have asked Poland to make him vacate. Poles Would Mutiny.

From an authoritative source it was learned that Poland is preparing a note to the AUles, expressing regret for Zeligowski's occupation of Vilna. but saying this Government cannot promise to make him get out The Polish army would mutiny, this note points out, if the soldiers were ordered to attack their fellow Poles in Vilna. "The Polish army of 600,00 men is not welded by the stern discipline of the old German army nor trained like the British," it will be argued. "Therefore it would he disastrous if detachments were ordered to bomb and fight natives of the Vilna region who yroalfl actually be defending, their bosses."
