Efforts Being Made by British
Labor Leaders to Do So.

Birmingham England. Jan. 1s.-At brief
meeting OF delegates OF the Miners Fedora
tion to-day the chairman. Enoch Edwards.
Member Of Parliament for Hanley. spoke
in favor OF conciliation and avoidance Of a
strike. but the federation executive com
mittee, which remained in secret session
until late tonight. reported that Il was
unable to agree on what policy To recon-
mend. and adjourned until tomorrow.
Opinions are much divided regarding the
situation. George NIcoll Barnes. a Labor
member of Parliament. thinks, looking at
the result OF the ballot. that a strike is
inevitable unless the minimum wage is con-
ceded. Arthur Henderson, Labor member
for Durham. expresses himself as not sat-
ished that the vote is az representative as
II ought to have been. He hoped the lead
ers would exert themselves TO prevent a
strike Cessation Of work In the mines
would be madness. he said, and II twelve
men were selected from each side they
could effect settlement

are obdurate, but Chairman Griffiths Of the

MOROCCO MOVE is URGED
Premier Poincare Wants Franco
German Treaty Ratified.

Paris, Jan. 1S-Premier POincare be-
fore the committee Of the Senate on the
Franco German treaty to-day urged its
quickest possible ratification and outlined
how the government proposed TO put II into
effect special committee had been
formed and coordinate work had already
been done by separate committees Of the
Foreign Office and the ministries Of War
and Finance toward evolving a scheme or
the occupation Of Morocco he said.
NJ Poincare estimated that the expendi-
ture in connection with the occupation for
1912 would not exceed s1S. 600, 900. this to
include the cost Of the first urgent re-
forms. While he did not think It necessary
to increase the army Of occupation for the
moment, it would nevertheless require 38,-
600 men to assure the protectorate. Later
the force could be reduced by the organiza-
tion Of native troops with French officers.
As soon as the treaty is voted an official
will be sent to negotiate a convention with
the Sultan similar TO that signed at Tunis
In 1881, which assured France the right to
occupy positions which the French military
authorities might deem necessary for the
maintenance of order and security.
In answer 10 a question NJ. Poincare AS
sured the committee that Frances legal
position with regard to the right of pre-
empton in the Belgian Congo was not af-
fected by the Franco German treaty.

unknown reason, some OF the biggest bid
ders were wary OF the book and It went
to Walter NJ. Hill, a Chicago dealer, for

of bidding on the ground that the engrsved
portraits in the volume were admittedly
cut down and inlaid.

O.K.'S TARIFF BOARDS ACT
Protective League Calls Schedule
K Report "Very Able"
PREPARING FOR CAMPAIGN
Meeting Largest in It's History
Bank President Succeeds
Manufacturer as Head.

The twenty-seventh annual meeting OF
the American Protective Tariff League, at
No. 329 Broadway, its headquarters. yes
terdav. brought out the largest attendance
in the history Of the league, according TO
Wilbur +. Wakeman. the secretary. Mr
Wakeman estimated that the ninety men
present represented the employment or
more than million wage earners. The
most significant action they took was to
commend to the careful attention OF pro-
tectionists the very able and comprehensive
report Of the Tariff Board recently sub
mitted to Congress"
It would he hard to get member OF the
league to admit that this Endorsement OF
the report on Schedule x was a complete
reversal of the leagues attitude toward the
Tariff Board and the principle involved IN
its creation expressed publicly In denun-
citation Of both year ago. There seems little
doubt. however. that II marks determina-
tion on the part OF the stand patters VINO
compose the league not TO oppose any
longer the reform which the Tariff Board
cmhodies No member, according TO MI.
Wakeman. proposed that the league go on
record as objecting 10 the principle OF the
Tariff Board while approving its report on
Schedule X although one man did wish To
insert in the resolution adopted a protest
against "piecemeal revision" This was
omitted. however and the resolution was
unanimously adopted. on the subject Of
the Schedule report II goes on to say
The findings In this report completely
Justify the attitude Of protectonlsts re-
garding the difference In production cost
and the necessity for adequate protective
duties in tho schedule covered by the report
OF the Tariff Board Protectionists invite
inquiry as 10 facts and are willing to stand
upon the results OF fair and thorough In
vestigation."
Colonel william Barbour. linen manu-
facturer, retired as president Of the league
in favor Of Francis l.. Leland. president Of
the New York County National Bank, the
idea being that in preparation for this
wears campaign it would be well 70 have
president who was personally Interested IN
no particular tariff schedule. The key
note" OF the meeting was the expressed
determination Of these protectionists, sath-
ered from all parts Of the country To take
an active part IN tho campaign. even 10
tho extent of endeavoring 10 shape the
platform declarations Of municipal, county
Congressional state and national c"nNeh-
tlons. 50 far as the policy Of protection Is
involved"
The league did not 90 on record as in
dorsIng any individual candidate for Pres'-
dent or the candidate of any party. Mr.
Wakeman said that the discussion OF can
didates did not come mp.
We are moro interested In platforms
than I'm candidates" said he.
