the most far-reaching industrial bat-
tle in America’s history The cur-
tain will go up on the great battle at
midnight Friday night
At that time orders calling out
350000 bituminous miners members
of the United Mine Workers of
America will go into effect The ef-
fective preliminaries have been fin-
ished and “industrial welfare” is the
ground which has been chosen by the
miners
The order to strike stood in the
face of appeals by President Wilson
and governors of all of the coal min-
ing states asking that they be re-
scinded y
All hop1 that the strike order
would be recalled at the last minute
faded todayiwhen the union leaders
departed for their homes after
drafting their final reply to the presl-
dent “The strike of the bituminous
coal miners is inevitable” was their
verdict after they had deliberated for
seven hours

"LETTER” SPORT
By United Press
New York Oct 30 — Teflnis may be
adopted as “letter sport” next year
in the big colleges
The National Lawn Tennis Asso-
ciation through Paul B Williams
field secretary is counting out the
athletic directors of all the big uni-
versities where the court pastime is
not listed among the major sports
Many colleges have ' signified a
willingness to go in for tennis op a
large scale and provide1' the equip-
ment and grounds for all the under-
graduate body that wish to indulge
The most general objection to
placing tennis on a footing with
football baseball basketball and
track is that It would cheapen the
value of the sport letter
Julian Myrick vice-president of
the N L T A answered this argu-
ment with the statement that only
six men constitute the ordinary ten-
nis team and that would mean the
awarding of only six more letters in

quence SOONERS EXPECT
TO BEAT TIGERS
By Associated Press
Norman Okla Oct 30 — A foot-
ball victory by thp University of Ok-
lahoma over the University of Missou-
ri is confidently expected by Okla-
homa when the elevens of the two
schools meet here November 1 in
what is expected to be one of the most
hard-fought of the season’s confer-
ence contests
Hopes of Oklahoma supporters
were raised to the highest pitch of
the year as a result of last Satur-
day’s Sooner performance when
Coach Owen’s aggregation held the
University of 'Nebraska Cornhuskers
to a 7 to 7 tie
rrThe powerful Sooner attack in the
second half of the Oklahoma-Ne-breaks
game and 'the successful use
of the forward pdsl are the principal
reasons for the feeling of optimism
here If Marsh Swatek Tyler and
Hill get into the line-up against Mis-
souri the latter school will face a
stronger eleven than that which bat-
tled the Cornhuskers to a standstill
last Saturday
The fact that the Missouri team
did not develop its full strength last
Saturday when it defeated Drake 3
to 0 makes the outlook for November
1 exceedingly bright to the Sooner
fans here who contend that Oklaho-
ma’s victory aver Texas and the tie
with Nebraska make promising her
chances of a victory over the Mis-
souri Tigers

Oklahoma City Oct 80— Follow
ing his statement to the meeting at
McAlester yesterday afternoon that
he would keep the mines of Oklaho-
ma open in case of a strike of Ok-
lahoma miners Governor Robertson
has announced that he will hold a
general industrial conference at the
state house next week to prevent
further strikes in Oklahoma
The announcement of Governor
Robertson followed a stormy session
at the breaking up of the conference
with miners and mine owners at Mc-
Alester which was held in a vain ef-
fort to prevent a strike of coal
miners in this state
It is the general opinion that Gov
ernor Robertson will ask for federal
troops to protect the miners who work
after the strike is called The opinion
is based on the governor’s acceptance
of the challenge of the mine leaders
who declared “the mines will close
unless it is settled at Indianapolis’’
Following the challenge of the
miners the governor said: “We’ll
see who is running the United States”
