draw From National Body
Graft Charges Made.

PUEBLO, Colo. Feb. 27.-Delegates
representing the coal miners in dis
trict number 10, United Mine Workers
of America, in convention in Pueblo
today withdrew from the national
organization and passed resolutions
favoring the organization of a new un-
ion Of coal miners in this district to
be known as the Independent Union
of Mine Workers OF America
The action was taken this afternoon
several hours after the reply to an ulti-
matum sent yesterday 10 President
Hayes of the national organization
was due to arrive. In yesterdays ul-
timatum the miners demanded that
President Hayes withdraw from this
district temporary President James F.
Moran and Secretary Warren Pippin.
and that the ballots cast at the recent
district election be turned over to the
delegates for an impartial recount.
They charged that John r. lawson
and Ed Boyle were counted out" pur-
posely by the national committee sent
to canvass the vote. Lawson was 4
candidate for president of the district
and Doyle for International member
A favorable reply to the ultimatum
was demanded by 10 O'Clock this
morning No message of any kind was
received from President Hayes yester-
day so the delegates voted to with
draw from the organization
Among the resolutions passed were
the following:
Resolved, that the executive board
herein created is hereby instructed to
reimburse John r. Lawson and Ed
Doyle for expenses incurred by them
in carrying on this fight to free the
unions OF Colorado from the corrup-
ton and deceit of the United Mine
Workers OF America. and be il further
resolved, that inasmuch as this new
union has been brought into existence
as a protest against the graft and cor
ruption existing within the United
Mine Workers OF America. which there
is no hope left for purifying. it must
not be considered as a dual movement
but as a new organization standing for
the principles Of pure democracy as
exemplified by the American labor
movement, and therefore the executive
board is instructed to make applica-
ton for a charter of affiliation with
the American Federation of Labor"
The closing session will be held here
tomorrow.
District number fifteen Of the Uni
ted Mine Workers Of America COM
prises the states OF Colorado and New

Many Lost When
Naval Tug Sinks

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 27.-Twenty-
nine men are believed TO have lost
their lives yesterday morning when
the sea going naval tug Cherokee
foundered in a severe gale Is miles
off the Maryland coast. Ten survivors
and the bodies of eight other members
Of the crew or 80 were brought here
today on two British rescue ships and
landed at the Philadelphia navy yard.
No trace of the remaining members of
the crew was found.
Among those missing is Junior
Lieutenant Edward d. Newell, the
commander of the tug. Ordinarily the
Cherokee carried crew of 40. but one
man was not aboard. According TO
the captain of one OF the rescue ships,
the primary cause of the disaster was
the breaking of the steering gear. A
50-mile northwest gale was blowing at
the time and the little vessel was at
the mercy of mountainous seas.

Feared War Material in ST.
IBERIA May Be Captured by
Germans; Americans May
Assist Japs.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Japan
has directed inquiries to the entente
powers the United States government
to test their feeling towards a pro-
posal TO institute joint military opera
tions in Siberia to save the vast guam
titles of war supplies stored at Via
: divostock and along the Siberian rail
road. Criticism at home of the dali
ure of Japan to play larger part in
the war is said to have been influen-
tial in bringing about the negotiations.
Officials here refuse to discuss this
subject for publication but it is un-
derstood that so far as America is
concerned the proposition when first
broached was not wholly acceptable,
though the exchanges on the subject
which are still in progress may re-
suit in modifying the governments at
titude
Accumulated at VladivOstok are
military supplies of all kinds. much
of American manufacture. which were
delivered long before the Bolsheviki
took possession of the Russian govern
ment. The material suffers greatly
from deterioration through exposure.
but the principle matter of concern
to the allies is the danger that the
stores shall fall into the hands of the
Germans who may make their delivery
condition of a peace treaty which
they may compel the Bolsheviki to
sign This situation is regarded by
the Japanese as warranting military
action on their part They are quite
willing to have the cooperation of
the American and entente forces as
the problem now before the cO-bel-
ligerents is whether Japan shall be
allowed to proceed single handed L
such a campaign is begun or whether
there shall be joint operations
1t has been argued that there should
be a combination movement to avoid
any question as to the ultimate dis
position of occupied territory in 81
IBERIA. From the tone of the discus
sion CT this subject in Washington it
appears that while the entente gov
ernments incline favorable to a joint
campaign with Japan in Siberia they
are faced with the obstacle that prac-
tically none of them has any troops
or ships available for Asiatic cam
paign. This statement does not ap-
ply. however. to America, which not
only has some powerful cruisers with
the large crews and marine contin-
gents now in Asiatic waters. but in
addition has about 10000 troops in
the Philippines and two full batal-
lions about 900 strong in China and
On the railroad whore they could be
rushed quickly into Siberia
While the American force would be
insignificant compared to Japan's,
the participation of American troops
in the campaign would serve to main
tain its international character. The
Russian representatives in Washing
ton strongly disapprove of any CAM
paign in Siberia conducted under Jap
anese auspices even though there be
joint operations. urging the belief that
the Bolsheviki elements struggling
for control at Vladivostok and along
the Siberian railroad will never per
NIT the military stores to pass into
German possession.

retary Balfour, replying today to
the speech of Count Won Hertling.
the German imperial chancellor, re-
garding the doctrine of the balance
of power. said that until German
militarism had d hecome a thing OF

safe as the strong. it would never
be possible TO ignore the principles
underlying the struggle for the

ing. that he was unable to find in
Won Hertling's speech any basis for
fruitful conversation or hope for

and his reference to President Viii
sons propositions was not exempli-
fled in German practices.
