NO AMENDMENT NEEDED
 FOR CouNTRY'S RIGHTS
Wilson Says Tolls Exemption Repeal Is No Interpreta-
 ton of Treaty.

Washington, April 13.-President Wilson declared today that the re- peal of the Panama canal tolls ex emption could not be regarded as an interpretation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty because it was by a legislative act. He held that no amendment setting forth the rights of the United States under the treaty was neces- sary.
 The president took the same view as Secretary Bryan, that by repeal ing the exemption the United States merely showed disinc1ination to raise the question of discrimination but did not by it's act limit any fu- ture policy of the government. MT. Wilson drew a distinction between a legislative act and an authoritative interpretation of a treaty the latter of which would have to be formu- lated by the executive branch of the government and ratified by two- thirds Of the senate. Hs The presfd e1it remarked 'ses that, among the senators who would be il, the majority on the tolls question, there did not seem to be any senti- ment for, amendment. The president incidentally declined to discuss the reported exemption of Colombian war vessels for the payment of tolls, say ing that when the new treaty was made public that phase of it would be clarified.
 MT. Wilson said that the tolls sit- uation in the senate was constantly improving and apparently that pe- pie who had been asked to appear in the hearings were getting ''cold feet

MINE WORKERS VOTE
 TO CALL OFF STRIKE Recognition of Union Denied By Operators Waived By
 Employees.

Hancock, Mich.. April 13.-The cop per mine workers who have been on strike since July 23 last, voted yes- terday to call off the strike, accord ing to announcement made today by Charles B. Hietela. district secretary of the Western Federation of Miners. The figures will not be given out until after a meeting of the district board this afternoon.
 It is unofficially reported that the majority in favor of calling off the strike was 1,012 in a total vote of 2,364. -a
 Recognition of the union, denied by the mining companies, is waived by the strikers in voting to return to work. They claim that practically all of their demands have been com piled with since the strike began. These included better working condi- tions, an eight hour day and a mini- mum daily wage of $3.
 When the strike started the union claimed that approximately 13,00O men were out. Since that time many of these have returned to work and others have moved away from the copper district. The latest estimate of the number on strike made by Sec- retary Hietela was about six thousand. The mining company estimates were
 Many workmen were imported to take the strikers places, and it will be difficult for the operators to place the men who now wish to resume work. o
