FOCH TOLD RHENISH GERMANS
 THEY MIGHT HAVE REPUBLIC

Mannheim, Wednesday, June A. When the project of the Rhenish re- public was first preached, Marshal Foch, commander-in-chi of the AL lied armies, was approached through occupation officers and asked wheth- CT the RhineIanders could work for a republic without the risk of being disciplined by Germany, according to the Neue Baden Landeszeitung. The newspaper states that Marshal Foch and Premier Clemenceau of France conferred on the subject and sent a reply to the Rhine1anders that "the German government would never again have anything to do with, the left bank of the Rhine, and. hence, the propagandists could not be pun ished."
 It is further sugga5ted that France will help the new republic economic ally so as to tighten the financial in demnity chargeable to the Palatinate. Marshal Foch has notified the Centrist members of the national assembly. ac- cording to the newspaper. that he would relieve their electors from the necessity of paying indemnities.

THREATEN TO EJECT ALIENS
 IN WINNIPEG
Civilians, Incensed Over Bomb Disclosures, Deter mine to Drive Out
 Leaders.

Winnipeg, June 5.---Mayor Charles F. Gray was informed today that a parade of several thousand soldiers intended to march to the trades and labor council this forenoon, force en- trance if necessary. and demand that all aliens be busted from the Winnipeg unions.
 "I understand the soldiers are so in censed over the high handed methods of strike leaders and insulting re- made by James Duncan. the Seattle labor leader. yesterday, that they have threatened to wreck the la- Dor temple and make an example of the leaders" said Mayor Gray. T shall urge the men to remember that law and order must be maintained.'
 Soldiers who attended the mass meeting where Duncan spoke yester- day declared he referred to the re- turned soldiers as "a bunch of ig- noramai."
 The city took over the distribution of milk and was arranging to provide for bread distribution if necessary.

 The establishment of the Rhenish republic by the people of' Rhineland provinces of Germany is not looked upon seriously in American circles at the peace conference, it is said. Dis patches from German sources declare that French authorities have taken prominent role in the setting up of the new government.
 President Wilson is likely to go to Brussels next week on his long de- ferred visit to Belgium.
 His ship, the George Washington. has been ordered to be ready to steam for the United States on 12 hours mo- tice, any time after midnight to night.
 Jugo-Slav forces which are invad ing the provinces of Carinthia are re- ported to be advancing, the village of Volkermarkt, northeast of Klag- enfurt, capitol of Carinthia, having been evacuated by the Austrian troops defending it. The reported capture of Petrograd which was announced early this week in a. telegram from Vardoe to Copenhagen, seems to be without foundation. Esthonian forces are quite a distance west of the former Russian capitol and are being sub jected to heavy attacks by the Bol- sheviki over a wide front.

 SESSIONS OF STATE LEGISLATURES

Washington, June with their forty years of effort, advocates Of Woman Suffrage today turned their attention to the various state 1egisla- lures, three-fourths of which must ratify the constitutional amendment before victory can be won. Realiza- ton of the hopes of leaders in the equal suffrage campaign came late yesterday with the adoption by the Senate of the historic Susan B.

IN SEYMOUR 500
 GO ON STRIKE
Men Mostly Russians and Poles Want 8 Hour Day
 at 52 Cents An Hour.

Seymour, Conn.,, June 5-Unskilled men to the number of six hundred at the Seymour Manufacturing company are on strike today, and as these men posted themselves about the plant no one else aside from the office force was able to go to work. The officials of the company, w. H. H. Worces- ter, president, and George Mathis, superintendent said that they did not know the reason for the strike. The men want an increase in wages of 15 cents an hour which would give them e2 cents an hour for an eight hour day.
 The strikers are mostly Poles and Russians. The Seymour company makes brass goods. During the war fifteen hundred men were employed largely on shells.

Completion of the Austrian treaty, several clauses of which were missing in Mondays presentation, is not likely to occur this week, although the peace conference leaders are giving daily attention to the matter. The missing clauses, it is stated, are likely to be presented to the Austrian rep resentatives by note, as they become completed.
 Notifications in the terms of peace with Germany seem to be approach ing definite form. These alterations it is said are planned primarily not to make the terms lighter for the Ger mans but to render them easier of execution.
 Apparently President Wilson, Pre- mier Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau are disposed to fix a defi- mite sum of approximately $25,000,- 100000 as the amount of indemnity Germany will be called upon to pay, and it seems possible that the first instalment of about 0,000,000. may not have to be paid for within two years, as now stipulated, but within four years.
 The terms relative to Silesia and Saare regions may be altered. There seems, however. to be a gem era1 agreement that Germany will not

 The death list, with one exception. the greatest that has ever occurred in this vicinity.
 More than 100 mine workers were riding to their work crowded into what is known as a trip of mine cars drawn by a motor. The rear car carried 12 kegs of black powder used for blasting loose the coal in the chambers. When the train had gone about 200 feet from the entrance the trolley wire snapped and the sparks touched off the powder.
 There was a roar and in an in stant every man and boy on the train was either dead or dying. Mangled bodies were found everywhere by the rescue crews which rushed into the mine. Fire fighters, working fran tically, soon succeeded in subduing the flames which followed the blast
 Those who bad not already suc- cumbed were so badly burned that in nearly every case death is a matter of only a short time.
 Carelessness and violation of mine laws of the state caused the great loss of life. One of the most drastic provisions of the anthracite mine code is the section forbidding the transportation of men on a car or train which carries explosives. Yet the train of little cars conveying its freight of miners had attached to its rear a car of a dozen kegs of pow der. Investigation will be made to disclose whether the men or the com pany is responsible for this violation of the law.

The death list is rapidly growing. As the bodies were removed from the mine, living and dead. they were piled on the green about the colliery. Many of the injured lived but a short time.
 Hundreds of women. men and chtl- dren, gathered about the tunnel. As they lifted the blankets from the bodies women tainted, men lost their nerve, and children ran away in fright The bodies of scores were removed to the morgues. where the work of identification is being carried on with little success.
 The death list was made large by the flames and the sulphur fumes which filled the tunnel. The fire did not last long. but it was long enough to make a heavy death toll. Many of the men were killed outright, parts of their bodies being found in the wreckage.
 Rescuers got into the mine with hose and played streams of water on the flames While they were doing this the cries of the dying and the injured were heard above the roar of the flames.
 Today's catastrophe is next to the greatest this section of the anthracite coal fields has seen.
 Mine officials and state officials were on the scene promptly, but their ef- forts were directed solely to the work of rescue. There were enough men to meet all needs for the work inside the mine, but the chief trou- ble during the early hours was in
