BRANDEIS GIVEN
COMMITTEE VOTE
Nomination Will Be FavOrably Re.
ported-Party Lines Drawn.

Washington, May 24.-lThe senate
judiciary committee today recon-
mended confirmation of the nomina-
tioa of Louis D. Brandeis to the su-
preme court by strict party vote, all
the Democrats votiHg for confrma-
ton and all the Republicans against
it.
Supporters of the nominee plan to
ask for action on the recommeH Hda-
ton by the senate tomorrow at an
executive session, while the opposing
senators are planning to force, if pos
sible, open sessions for the conidera-
ton of the nomination. Prolonged de-
bate may result, but Mr.. Brandeis'
friends claim he will be confirmed be-
fore the recesses for the national con-
ventions begin on June 3.
After weeks spent in taking testl-
mony through subcommittee and IN
discussing the subcommittee report,
action came today without debate II
a seven minute session. There was
nothing said beyond calling the roll.
Doubt as to the outcome existed until
the name of Senator Shields was
reached His vote in favor of Mr..
Brandeis was the deciding factor, the
committee standing 10 to s for fav-
orable report.
Just before going to the committee
meeting Senator Shields conferred
with Senator Smith of Georgia, who
had made an investigation outside the
record during the absence of Senator
Shields, who returned today from
Knoxville. The Georgia senator had
interviews with members of the inter-
state commerce commission and sew
eral Boston lawyers in regard to the
charges against Mr.. Brandeis and
after satisfying himself that the
charges were not sustained, had a
talk a few days ago with Mr.. Bran
deis himself
Friends Of the nominee plan to op-
pose open sessions on the ground
that this is a movement for delay in
confirmation and if open sessions are
to be had they should be on other
cases.

ASKS MCRE MILITIA
FOR THE FRONTIER
Funston Calls on Department to Let
Him Have National Guard Tor
Border.

San Antonio, Tex, May 22.-Gen.
Funston's request for more coast ar
tillery, it is understood here, has been
refused by the war department. Gen.
Funston refused to confirm the re-
port, but it was indicated at his head
quarters that he had replied to the
departments refusal by request that
more militia be sent to him to
c+rongthen the border patrol.
The militia in camp here will start
moving towards the border tomorrow.
Reports from Gen. Pershing today
indicated no sharp Developments.
Late tonight it was said at head
quarters that Gen. Funston originally
asked the war department for the
National Guard of Arizona, New Mex
leo, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma
Later the request was renewed and
the militia of the three border States
was ordered. 1t is understood the re-
quest still stands for the other troops.
1t is considered possible they will be
modified, at least a portion of them
to serve on the border in lieu of coast
artillery which could not be sent.

MINERS REFUSE TO MAKE ANY
FURTHER CONCESSIONS
TO OPERATORS
fBy Associated Press)

7 NEW YORK, March 1.-When the
soft coal miners resumed their con-
ference with operators from the mid
die west here today to negotiate a new
working contract they were prepared
to fight for the amended wage demand
submitted to employers yesterday.
+ Depsfte concession made by the U.
M. W. the operators still oppose max
ing an agreement, they say because
the advance demanded Is not justified
by business conditions in the soft
coal mining industry. The miners ue.
clare they will not concede anything
more and would rather fight out the
battle in separate state conferences
than take less than rate submitted
yesterday.
The amended demand scaled down
the increase from 10 per cent. to six
per cent. net on the mine run basis.
The present rates and the new prices
demanded are as follows:
Machine mintng-Wester Penusyl-
vania, present rate on mine run, 44.6I
cents; new rate asked, so cents; Ohio
present rate, AZ; proposed rate, %; In
diana, present rate, 4S1z; proposed
rate, 513s; Illinois, present rate, 50.51
and 81; proposed rates, So, 81 and 81.
Pick mining-Western Pennsylvan-
la, present rate on mine run, 64.64
cents; proposed rate asked, 70.6 cents;
Ohio, present rate, 67.6; proposed rate,
70.6; Indiana and Illinois, present rate,

strat1oni OF unity to convince Germany
that the American Congress stands

President Wilson reiterated to lead

ed.
Some OF the conferees thought the,
best procedure was for the Senate
and House to adopt aresolution sup.
porting the Presidents position but
Mr.. Wilson vetoed that plan and ex'
pressed a desire to have a vote on
the resolution warning Americans of
armed ships, because he was confident
that It would be defeated. 4,
It was understood that some OF the
leaders who conferred at the White
House today still differed with the
Presidents position. Speaker Clark
who predicted last week that the warn
ing resolution would pass 2 to l at
that time, said he did not know the
sentiment of the House now and re.
fused to say how he himself would
vote.
Gernany's latest assurances on the
conduct of submarine warfare present

as the United States desires, but it is
Indicated no further steps will be TAX

istratlon is certain its action will not
be embarrassed in Congress.
The assurance reiterated in the last
communication are regarded as not
SO complete as those originally given
as the result of the Lusitania negotia-
tions and it was indicated today that
the pending Lusitania agreement
would not be finally accepted as sat:
isiactory at this time.
