 You desire to discuss peace first. What IS your program regarding that question:"
 Our parties propositions for peace Is that the assembly should call a conference of all the entente allies to consider the aims Of the war, We ex- pect that d, such a conference they would state clearly and most explicit ly their aims and would try to har- monize them with the democratic principles of tie Russian revolution.
 Do you think Russia will continue tme war if Germany refuses the peace plan.
 Everybody says that Russia can not fight because of the extreme state of disorganlzation. All know that the decision in this war will be on the western front But Russia can act as a magnet to draw German forces and prevent their being turned 10 the western from The Russian army may retreat but in doing so will benefit the allies by Giverting the Germans deeper and deeper into Russian ter ritory which would be no gain for them

Democracy.

Indianapolis, Jan 19-Aiter two days of stirrmg debate the United
 Mine Workers of America in bienn!a!
 convention la;e today by overwhelm-
 Ing vote ratified the Washington agreement Of October which iranIs
 substantial wage advances to bitu- minous coa! miners and prov ides pen alties for violation of contracts. Tho agreement became effective November 1, last, and remains in force until April 1, 1920, unless the war ends before
 that date, in which event 1t automatic ally terminates.
 The ratification of he agreement was of great importance to the coun- try in the present war crisis for the
 reason that had it failed of approval 1t might have resulted in chaos in the | mining industry at tune when every
 nerve is being strained to relieve the
 fuel famine.
 The figh; against it's approval was
 based onS the automatic penalty
 clause inserted by the joint confer ence of operators and miners at Washington and approved by Fuel Ad- ministraior Garfield. 1t fines men who violate contracts by going out on unauthorized strikes and provides for their automatic collection by the oper- ators Mine owners failing to enforce the clause are also penalized under it's terms.

White. former president o. the organization and now assistant to Dr. Garfield, spoke for an hour in defense of the ac- ton of the international officers in ac- cep,ing the clause He charged tha. the attack on the clause was in reality an assault on him in furtherance of organization plans. because, he said. 1t took away none of the rights of the miners but on the other hand was essential to the success and perpA- uity of the union. He severely &r- raigned Alexander Howatt, president of the Kansas miners, who led the op- position.
 White was backed by Frank Far rlngton, president of the Illinois miners; John H. Walker, president of the Illinois federation of labor, and Wm. Green, Ohio, ecretary-treasurer
 Delegates who spoke against the agreement today were w. H. Pasco. of Illinois. who said the penalty clause was an insult to the intelligence 'of the miners. and Charles Findley. Michigan, who said the fuel adminIs- trator was no friend of the miner. Op- ponents of the clause say 1t is abused by operators.
 D. A. F1ampton, president of the
 Missouri miners, was against the pon- alty clause. tut as 1t was linked up with the wage increase he felt cone pelled to vote for 1t. as defeat for the clause carried down the whole compact.
 Charles O'Neill. central Pennsyi- vania. spoke for the clause as did also James Doyle, Of Arkansas. The latter said that those who opposed the penalty clause at this period of national emergency was giving aid and comfort to the foreign foe. The convention adjourned until Monday
