Not Exclude
NatI Guard

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan. 81
Those in control Of the national af-
fairs OF the United States Mine Work
ers Of America won another victory
in their convention today when they
rallied their forces and defeated a
resolution designed to exclude Ma
tlonal Guardsmen and members of
state constabularies from the organi-
zation. After the administration lead
ers had defeated the exclusion pro-
position, they presented a resolution

islation tha. will prevent military
forces and privately armed gunmen
from acting as strike breakers"
The exclusion resolution was the
feature of the days sessions which
were taken up with matters pertain
ing 10 changes in the constitution of
The union. Every delegate who spoke
on the militia question expressed his
enmity TO the National Guard as long
as II was used in strikes. Despite this
sentiment. IL was deemed best by the
majority that to exclude the military
from membership in the union would
be in contravention of the laws of
some states. Legal opinions sustain
ing this convention were read. II was
urged that instead OF ostrascizing
military men. they should be wei
coined and assimilated and laws en-
acted to prevent them being used TO
help TO break strikes.
The few changes made in the or
ganic law OF the organization were of
minor character Final adjourn
ment OF the convention will probably
be reached late tomorrow.

world not at war.
The course of events in this
country after peace shall have been
declared continues to engage the at
tention of economists. In the small
minority are those who declare that
the need of the conflict will be fol-
lowed by a tremendous inflow Of for
eign products, to the great detrlment
of home industries. 1t is assumed,
also, that cessation of hostilities will
inaugurate heavy purchasing
movement in our securities by foreign
investors who deemed 1t necessary or

UNITED STATES MAY
SEIZE AUTO PLANTS.

Necotiations have been under way
during the last week for the purchase
by the war department of some 1,SOO
motor trucks for use by the army in
connection with the Mexican opera
tious. and some contracts for the ma
chimes have been placed Difficulty
has been encountered in obtaining
satisfactory terms of delivery, due to
the fact that the motor truck manu-
facturors are largely engaged in I'LL
ing European orders. The situation
may result in the war department
avsiling itself OF the authority con
tained in section 120 Ot the army act
of June 3, relating to the purchase
of military supplies in time OF actual
or imminent war. Failure to fill or

terms of this act, 70 seizure of a plant

facture under department supervision

II is proposed 10 purchase enough
motor trucks to equip 50 companies,
each company having SO trucks-3O
cargo trucks, one kitchen truck and
repair truck and two gasoline supply
trucks. The trucks are about equally
divided as to capacity between the
three ton and one and onehalf ton
types. These and more trucks will
be required on account of the in
crease in the military operations, and
later on. If there is any extensive
fighting, il will be necessary to ac-
quire ammunition trucks. 1t is esti-
mated that some 100000 600 will have
been spent on motor transportation
