AUSTRALIA NOT IN WAR
AT ENGLAND'S INSTANCE
Menace of German Money Told o,
by Crawford Vaughan Before

Hon. Crawford Vaughan. leader of the
labor nationalist party Of Australia and
former premier of South Australia, spoke
tralia and the war.
.It has been said that we were brought
into the war by Great Britain" said Mr..
Vaughan. Nothing is further from the
truth We went into this war entirely OF
our own volition. To do Great Britain
justice, she never once suggested that we
should send any equipment or reinforce
ments.
I'VE have up to the present time sent
400, 900 men to the front out of popu-
lation of 100000. That is 8 per cent of
the population But we do not feel in any
way that because we have contributed that
the cause.
In our country German money was
subscribed largely to the cause Of the
anti-conscription campaign. The names of
those who subscribed very clearly shows
where that large amount of money came
from

peace that will be, after all. not a make
believe which will leave US to face the
burden of a tremendous military domina-

I'VE look to America to show US the
way, to be an example to the whole world.

the real history of the far east from one
who was born there.
The proceeds of the lecture tonight
will be given to the Red Cross. A part
of it will be used by the comfort sec

ADOPTS AGREEMENT
;
Overwhelming Majority Voted
for Wage Advance and
Penalty Clause.
AFTER STIRRING DEBATE

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 10
after two days of stirring debate the
United Mine Workers of America IN
biennial convention late today by over
whelming vote ratified the washington
agreement of October 6, which grants
substantial wage advances to bituml-
nous coal miners and provides penal
ties for violation of contracts.
The agreement became effective No
yember l last and remains in force
until April /, 1920. unless the war ends
before that date, in which event it
automatically. terminates.
Big Importance to Country.
The ratification of the agreement was
Of great Importance to the country in
the present war crisis for the reason
that had it failed of approval it might
have resulted in chaos in the mining
industry at time when every nerve
is being strained to relieve the fuel
famine.
The fight against it's approval was
based on the automatic penalty clause
inserted by the joint conference of
operators and miners at Washington
and approved by Fuel Administrator

tracts by going out on unauthorized

place, John P. White. former president

.tional officers in accepting the clause.
He charged that the attack on the
Clause was in reality an assault on
him in furtherance of organization pol

none, of the rights of the miners, but.

success and perpetuity of the union.

ADAMS IN RUNNING
FOR GUARDIANSHIP
In Fore as Choice for Head Of
Republican National
Committee.
WILL WEIGH CANDIDATES

In informed republican political quar-
ters it is stated that thirty of fifty-two
members Of the republican national COM
| mittee are favorable to the selection Of
| Vice Chairman John T. Adams Of Iowa as
chairman Of the national committee to
| succeed Mr.. Wilcox. Such is said to be
| the trend of committee opinion at this
time and before the meeting of the COM
mittee, to be held in st. Louis, Febru-
ary IL.
At that meeting the craftsmanship will
be fully discussed before choice is made.
Arguments in behalf of other men, rec
ognized as available and desirable timber.
| will be given full consideration.
Full Consideration Assured.
The national committee. responding to
sentiment described as existing among
| republican leaders at large. is said to
be disposed to give most earnest consid-
GRAFTON to the choice of a chairman to
| take charge Of the preliminaries Of the
next presidential campaign. OF course.
the chairman for the campaign itself will
be designated by the presidential candi-
date. but there is a great deal of i'm
;; pertant work to be done beforehand.
Vice Chairman Adams is highly regard
ed by republican politicians. He man.
aged successfully the campaigns Of the
late Senator. Allison, was a member Of
the executive committee from 1912 to 1916,
and was reelected committeeman in
j statewide primary, under the Iowa law.
He was active in the campaign OF 1916
| under the chairmanship OF Mr.. Wilcox.
King and Hayes Talked Of.
John T: King of Connecticut and win
Hayes of Indiana are discussed in con-
nection with the craftsmanship. Mr..
Hayes friends doubt if he will consent
to contest. Mr.. King Is supported by
George w. Perkins and Senator Penrose
1t is expected that at the February
meeting of the committee the ground
work will be laid for the next presi-
Dental. campaign. There has been
some dissatisfaction among republican
| leaders over the lethargy of the re-
publican organization, in contrast with
| the vigilance and activity Of the demo-
cratic organization. Effort will be
| made to arouse republican party man.
ayers to efforts for 1920.
It is thought there will be informal
talks about candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination. Friends of pros
pective candidates or possible candi-
little grooming on the side lines
Harding Presidential Boom.
1t is known here that friends of Sem
ator Harding of Ohio intend to start
early and stay late in launching the
presidential boom for the Buckeye state
favorite. They will be in evidence to
plant a few germs of thought among
the assembled committeeman. for them
to take back home for cultivation
Other names will be brought up. Gov
Whitman of New York. Senator Borah
Senator Knox, Senator Weeks. Gov. Nc
Call 'of Massachusetts, Senator John
son of California and probably some
new names will be put forward.
The committee at that meeting will,
also take congnizance of the vital SEN
atorial contests coming of next fall
and make plans to assist the CAM
paigns.
