osition will be made to the miners.
While the proposed reduction will come as
surprise TO the miners body. the operators
say that John Mitchell, the retiring president,

reason he is retiring is that he does not wish to
conduct the union in the lockout which appears
inevitable.

"WIRELESS" IN SENATE.
Treaty Held Up to See If Riuai
Com panies Will Get Together.
TFrorr The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Jan. 29-The Republican meme
bers of the Senate have reached a virtual agree
rnent to take no action relative TO the wireless
teIeeraphy treaty which has been pending before
the Committee on Foreign Relations since almost
the first day of the session. This conclusion Is IN
spite of the fact that dozen or more great
powers have already approved the treaty and
are now waiting for the co-oDeration OF tns
United States.
Senators who have listened to the arguments
before the committee are convinced that the ap-
prevail OF the treaty at this time would work a
hardship on the greatest of the wireless COM
panies. and would place compulsory measures
upon it which would be markedly unjust They
have discussed the matter with their colleagues
in the Senate. and have then reached this con-
clusion The committee was anxious to clear up
its calendar. and at to-day's meeting very nearly
did So 1t reported a copyright treaty and two
Or three international exposition bills and there
was some discussion as to the advisabil1ty OK
reporting the wireless treaty adversely.
Those who appeared before the COMMITTEES. in
Gliding ex-Attorney General Griggs. convinced
the Senators that one concern which has done
most 70 develop wireless telegrapEy, has In
vested thousands OF dollars and enlisted the SER
vices Of the greatest inventors and best talent IN
the world, is now being preyed upon by rival
concerns which are trying to take advantage OF
technical differences in appliances and systems

initial company.
The greatest complaint Of the wireless COM
panies has isen from their refusal 70 transmit
messages when sent the apparatus Of a rival
concern. The United States navy employs no
less than fifty different kinds of wireless sys-
TENS, but all of the apparatus is so constructed
that signals are interchangeable
1t Is Purposed to let the wireless treaty re-
main in the committee indefinitely while ths
Navy Department watches the behavior OF th9
wireless companies If they refuse 70 transmit
distress signals 10 show reasonable co-opera-
ton the treaty will be taken from its pigeon
hole and ratified. The passage Of the treaty
would place all companies under International
supervision
