BLAMED FOR TAKING
"SOREHEAD" EVIDENCE
Congressional Committee Which Is In
yestigating Army Air Service Was
Attacked By John D. Ryan.

New York, Oct 20. The congression-
al committee which is investigating
the army air service was vigorously at.
tackled to-day by John d. Ryan, for.
merly director of aircraft production,
for having made intimations against
persons whose services had been of
value to the government" on the evil
dcnce Of ''soreheads who failed to OBJ
tain government contracts" Mfr. Ryan
appeared as a witness before the sub
committee of the special committee
which is holding hearings here.
The sub beommittee is inquiring par.
ticularly into the construction Of a
government spruce railroad, So miles
long, at cost Of $4,OO0O0O in the
Olympic peninsula, Washington, CON
Meeting with the Chicago. Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad. Mr. Ryan is direc-
tor of the railroad. Mr., Ryan told the
committee it was unfair to have him
testify in New York when his records
are in Washington, Il am at distinct
disadvantage" he said.
Referring to a telegram sent by the
committee 10 Secretary Baker from
Portland, Ore, urging that a proposed
sale of the government railroad in
Portland Oct. 2, at s per cent Of its
value be held up, Mr.. Ryan said he
thought it was outrageous and scan
dalous and an abuse Of the congression-
al privilege to make charges in that
telegram without giving the persons in
volved a hearing.
Mr. Ryan read a telegram from Sec
retary Baker to the committee, dated
Sept 4, last, saying the committee was
making assumptions and giving wide
spread publicity TO intimations against
persons whose services had been OF
value to the government
"A lot of soreheads who failed TO OBJ
tain government contracts on the
coast, = Mr. Ryan said, rushed to you
with suspicious
MIR. Ryan said he had informed Sec
retary Baker soon after taking office
that he could have nothing to do with
negotiations on extending the Milwau-
kee into the spruce district because of
his connection with the Milwaukee,
Secretary Baker then directed Assist
ant Secretary Stettlnlus to conduct the
negotiations
Mr.. Ryan said the Milwaukee road
had never TO his knowledge considered
purchase Of the government spruce
railroad.
Mr.. Ryan told the committee that
the map of the spruce district it had in
evidence was prepared for campaign
purposes Asked to explain how, he
pointed to a large caption, "3s- Mile
Government Railroad Costing $4,000,
600, and said no official map would
have such wording. The caption was
not quite true, he argued.

Senate Hopes to Vote To-
day or Tomorrow on the
Moses Amendment
SEN. GORE PROPOSES
WAR REFERENDUM
He Would Make 1t Obliga-
tory for People to Decide
on War Declaration

Washington, D, ca Oct. 29.-The end
of the Senate battle over the 46 amend
ments written into the peace treaty
by the foreign relations committee
seemed in sight to-day, leaders hoping
that a vote on the last Of the group
could be taken to-day or tomorrow.
The amendment was presented by Sen
ator Moose, Republican, New Hamp-
shire and would exclude all of the Brit
ish dominions from voting in any
league of nations controversy to which
one of them was a party.
A subject not touched on by the com
mittee was injected into the fight to-day
by Senator Gore, Democrat, Oklahoma,
who presented an amendment TO arti-
Gle II, proposing that under the league
no nation would 90 to war until an
advisory vote of the people shall have
been taken" as an additional condi-
tion after arbitration had failed.
The debate centered during much of
the session around the treaty's pro
vision for an international labor or
ganization. Efforts to alter it are to
be made by several senators.
Senator I4aFollette, Republican, Wis
consin, assailed the labor provision as
undemocratic and perilous to American
labor interests. Instead of giving la
Dor a new charter of rights as Pres
ident Wilson had contended. he said ''it
would perpetuate the wrong and in
justice in the present relation exist
ing. between labor and capital"
Samuel Gompers and other American
delegates had protested against many
provisions at Paris, he said, but had
been beaten on every important
point

FATEFUL ISSUE
BEING TALKED
Soft Coal Miners Begin
Deliberations About
Strike Nov. l
SCOPE OF MEETING
WAS BROADENED
Because of Pres. Wilson's
Demand for Suspension
of Strike Order

indianapolis, Oct. 29.-Executives of
the United Mine Workers of America
met here to-day TO take final action on
President Wilson's appeal that the ma
tion wide strike of bituminous coal
miners ordered for Nov. be called off.
While it originally was planned to
hold only a meeting of the executive
board of the organization at this time,
in view of the demand of President
Wilson last Saturday that the strike
order be rescinded, Acting President
John /. Lewis broadened the scope of
the conference. As a consequence, 25
district presidents Of the mine work
ers. the full scale committee composed
of 32 members, and the board of execu'
tives, comprising a representative from
each of the 20 districts, are in attend
ance. All of those present, it was stat,
ed, win have a vote.
The delegates entered the conference
with a full realization TO the serious
ness of their undertaking. On every
hand they have met with expressions of
the grave consequences attaching to
the threatened strike on the verge OF
winter.
Diseontinuance of the production of
coal would more efTectually tie up the
industries of the country than would
strike of any other body of workers,
and in addition such action would cause
untold suffering among millions of the
country's inhabitants Despite the
frantic efforts Of the railroads 10 fur
nish extra cars to the mines for trans
portation Of what fuel is on hand, il
will be impossible to provide an ade-
auate supply for even short period.
Up to the hour of the conference,
miners officials reiterated that they
were willing to negotiate with the OPP
orators, but said that the latter had
showed no inclination to discuss the
demands.
For the first time in the history of
the miners wage conference" Acting
President Lewis said, "the, operators
have failed to offer a suggestion; here.
tofore we have been able to sit down
and present our side of the controversy
and the operators their proposals" !"
Possibility Of government operation
of the miners has been advanced by
some of the delegates. who apparently
were receptive to the idea. On the 9th
er hand, high officials of the organiza
ton secuted the idea Of government
control and added that they could not
see what power could be exerted to
make men work when they did not
want to work.
Practically 90 per cent of the min
ers are members of the organization
and directly involved in the strike
said William Green, international sec
retary treasurer of the miners. Con
scripting men to operate the mines
would avail the government nothing,
as there would not be enough men to
produce much coal"
Every district Of the international
organization of the miners was called
upon to send representatives to the
conference to-day, except those OF
Canada
