Favorable Recommendation.

BY margin of one vote. to Z, the
committee recently recommended the
measure favorably, but four of the
seven were not among the signers OF
the minority report. With the report
and the vote, ten of the twenty -one
committeeman have expressed oppos1-
tion to the bill.
The six subscribing to the report
were Representatives Anthony, Kan
sas; Fuller. Massachusetts,; Kearns'
Ohio; La Guardia. New York. and San
ford, New York, republicans. and Rep
resentative Caldwell. New York, demo-
crat.

the minority report, which pointed
out the temporary rank had been
given both him and Chief of Stan
March for the war emergency, and
added that only three officers had ever
been given permanent ranks as gem
erals-Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
In each case the services rendered
were on the field of battle by great
soldiers in action. The rank of gen.
eral has not heretofore been held by
two persons at the same time. The
people of the United States have al

RESIST PERMANENT
RANK FOR MARCH
Six Members of House Com
mittee Sign Report 0ppos-
ing Proposal.

A report signed by six members OF
the House committee on military af-
fairs opposing comforting the perma-
nent rank of general on Peyton c.
March. chief of staff, was submitted
yesterday. principally on the ground
that he did not render conspicuous
service in the field. 1t declares that
Gen. March should not be singled out
for great honor among the thousands
of persons, both in the Army and out
of it. who rendered distinguished
services during the war within the
borders of the United States.
Though announcement of the ming
of the report, made by Representative
Sanford. republican. New York,
brought only an inquiry as to its pur-
port. it was regarded as the opening
gun in the fight against the elevation
IN rank of the chief of staff. This
probably will come when the bill con-
ferring the permanent rank of gem
craI on the chief of staff is called up
for House consideration.

WILL INSIST ON
THE INJUNCTION
Government Will Not En-
tertain Gompers'
Proposal
MORE MINERS AT WORK
Assistant Attorney General Says
There Can be no Abandonment, as
Strike is Unlawful.

The government cannot accept the
proposal OF organized labor toHend the
coal strike by vacating the injunction
against the officials of the United
Mine Workers of America Assistant
Attorney General Ames. in the alb
sence of Attorney General Palmer, an
nounced yesterday that the govern
ment could not abandon its position
because the strike was in violation of
law.
Judge Ames issued the following
statement:
"The strike is a violation Of law.
AS long as it continues, we are going
TO proceed in the courts. The dis
pute between the mine owners and
workers is an entirely different ques-
ton that they can settle in their own
way. The government cannot toll
crate continued violation of the law
such as this strike constitutes
Labor leaders here who had taken
hopeful view of the strike situation
after hearing of Samuel Gompers'
suggestion for settlement. were
plainly disturbed by news that the
Department of Justice would let the
Injunction stand. All agreed that ii
would keep the strike going for some
time This also was the view Of OPP
orators.
Representatives of the mine work
ers, counting hopefully on the early
end Of court proceedings, were fig
urirg on actual steps to adjust diff
fcrenccs 1T scale committee meet
ings. As indicating the desire for
peace, the miners ageEts thought it
would be unnecessary for the joint
conference to be held undcr-"the au-
spices Of the Department of Labor,
their idea being that the two sides
could meet exactly as they did at
Buffalo and Philadelphia before re-
lection of demands led to issuance of
the strike order.
Refusal of the government TO va
cate the Injunction means long
fight in the coal fields, while its with
dr;twal would have opened the way
for a settlement of the strike within
4S hours, according to Edgar Wal
lace, legislative representative of the
United Mine Workers of America.
'If the injunction were withdrawn
the scale committees representing
miners and operators could get TO-
retlier in a hours and settle their
differences at one sTtting.' Wallace
said. "The strike, however, would not
be called off until a new wage agree
ment was reached "
The miners committee, with power
to accept the new agreement, could
call off the strike without referring
the question to delegate convention,
Wallace said.
