for Soldiers Hastens Death. '
Short Beach, Conn., Oct. 80. (I.
N. S.) Mrs. .Ella Wheeler WUcox,
noted poet and author, died at her
home, The Bungalow, at , Short
Beach, early today, following a long
illness, which began in Europe,
where she went about a year ago to
do work anion? the soldiers in
France. - Mrs. Wilcox died peace
fully. Her mind was clear to the
last, and heart failure 'took her away.
Mrs. Wilcox was obliged to give up
her work in France, where she ad
dressed nightly large . audiences of sol
diers, and went to London, where she
had to take to her bed.. When she left
London last July for her home here,
her physicians predicted she could not
live two weeks. She survived the voy
age to this country and was removed
to her home here July 20, last. For a
time she rallied but recently she has
been confined to her bed and gradually
grew weaker.
( Mrs. .Wilcox is survived by two Sis
ters, Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Blythe Wil
liamson, both of Ord, Neb., and one
brother, Marcus, of Windsor, Wis., who
is over 80 years of age. ' Her husband,
Robert M. Wilcox, died here three years
ago.
Mrs. Wilcox, in accordance with her
own wishes, will be cremated, the serv
ices being held at , the crematory in
Springfield, Mass., probably tomorrow,
although the exact date has not been
fixed. There will be no funeral services
at The Bungalow.

Claim Germany and Austria Are
Not Eligible at International
Labor Meeting. '
By Ralph F. Couch
Washington, Oct. 30. (U. P.)
Admission of German and Austrian
delegates was expected to precipitate
a fight when the International labor
conference resumes sessions late to
day. :
The German delegation is not enti
tled to be seated in the conference un
der the rules provided in ttte peace
treaty, since Germany Is not yet a
member of the League of Nations. . The
delegation embarked at Rotterdam with
the hope that the conerence Vould
change the rules.
The Germans are due to land Sunday.
They are traveling on passports vised
for admission to the United States by
this government.
Those backing the movement to seat
tbem now say the purpose of the con
ference will be defeated unless Germany
has a share in framing the recommen
dations for ' uniform world Industrial
legislation.
Samuel Gompers, president or the
American Federation of Labor, today
may be seated as the first United States
delegate. Gompers will be named by
the federation as Us representative, ac
cording to Secretary Morrison.
The Chamber of Commerce . of the
United States also will name a dele
gate. No representatives of this coun
try sat yesterday because the confer
ence was created by the peace treaty
and the senate haa not ratified the
treaty. However, the conference now
has formally invited the federation and
Chamber of Commerce to designate del
egates. .. ,

If the pending coal strike develops
into a long drawn out Industrial con

stop running.
Thus declared Judge Robert S.
Lovett, executive head of the Union-
Pacific system, who arrived with a
party of railroad men Wednesday
afternbon on his first Inspection trip
since the close of the war.
"The Union Pacific has its usual sur
plus, but this would not last long with
a strike in the coal mines such as is
contemplated," said Judge Lovett.
"Some oil was used on the western
end of our lines before the war. but
this fuel is too expensive to use now."

Portland is not to lose the general

that the Union Pacific proposed virtu
ally to abandon Portland, so far as
headquarters for management . of the
western properties is concerned, have
been rife for . several weeks.
Judge Lovett would not forecast
further what the railroad policies were
to be when the lines are returned to pri

Warning of impending industrial

declared:
' "We are facing one of the greatest in

knows that a hard f igjht Is ' ahead to

Labor which the radical element seeks
to destroy. We must stand behind the
conservative thinking class In labor and
go to bat for them.
BEWARE OF REDS
"The last few days have brought the
sorb nearer a' head. I thought things
might subside, but Instead the break
looms just ahead. The coal situation,
steel strike, waterfront trouble and im
pending disturbances over return ot
the railroads to private control they
are all seeds of strife.
"We can look for no end of disturb

aside the sturdy strata of labor. They
aim to break the fibres of the nation.
They work to destroy and tear down.
