During the day members of the
Senate foreign relations committee
conferred informally and decided that
the investigation of conditions in Mex
leo by the Senate committee should be
continued both in Washington and on
the border. The committee members
also approved telegram sent by
Senator Fall of New Mexico, chairman
of the investigating committee, to H.
T. Oliver, an American at Mexico City
in which the senator said President
Wilson had not indicated his intention
not to break off diplomatic relations
with the. Carranza government.

settlement of the wage controversy
by commission to be appointed by
the president This commission would
include in it's personnel one practical
miner and one active mine owner or
operator, and would nto only adjust
the wage question as related to the
increased cost of living, but would ad-
just coal prices to meet the wage ad-
vance without allowing too great
burden to be placed upon the public.
) The attorney general in making pub
lie the presidents proposal, said it
had been prepared by the executive
with view to appealing to the min
ers generally throughout the country.
However, he said, before it was made
public, Acting President Lewis and
Secretary Treasurer William Green
of the mine workers called on him
Saturday afternoon and were shown
the presidents statement. The union
leaders, Mr.. Palmer said, finally
agreed to urge theri general commit
tee to accept the presidents plan and
called the meeting today.
In order that the plan for settle
ment might be submitted to the gen.
eral committee this afternoon, the
government this morning asked and
obtained postponement of hearings
of charges of criminal contempt
against the "a union heads who form
the general committee. At the same
time Federal Judge Anderson granted
a motion by government attorneys for
postponement of a federal grand jury
investigation of alleged violation of
the Lever law and antitrust acts by
both miners and operators. The con-
tempt proceedings are set for next
Tuesday and the grand jury investiga-
ton for the following day.

MINERS MAKE
NO DECISION
On President Wilson's Proposal
Split Upon the Question of
Submitting Matter to General
Convention.

Indianapolis, Dec 9.-"I have moth
ing to say" said Acting President
Lewis after the adjournment, Except
that we still have the matter under
consideration and will meet again at
9:3O tomorrow morning"
The general committee of the min
ers is composed of eighty-four inter-
national and district officials and
members of the organizations execu-
tive board and scale committee.
After the miners adjourned this
evening it was reported that big
factor in the opposition to acceptance
of the presidents proposal was the
belief on the part of the miners that
it would require another session OF
the general convention of the United
Mine Workers to make valid an agree
ment to end the strike.
1t was pointed out that the last gen
eral convention, held in Cleveland
formulated the demands to be pre-
sented to the operators and voted that
in the event they were refused that a
strike should be called. The plan ap-
proved by the general convention also
provided that in case of strike and
subsequent proposals for settlement
another general session would have to
approve any action taken looking to
an end of hte tie-up.
The presidents proposal, made pub
lie by Attorney General Palmer here
this afternoon, provides for resump-
tion of work by the miners at la

u. s. NAVY MUST
BE EQUAL TO ANY
Navy General Board Makes Re-
concentrations For 1921 Pro-
gram Naval Expansion is
Urged.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Recommenda
tions of the navy general board for
the building program of 1920 include
two battleships, one battle cruiser,
ten scout cruisers, five destroyer "fio-
tilla leaders" and six submarines.
"The navy of the United States
should ultimately be equal to the most
powerful maintained by any other ma
ton Of the world" not later than
1925, the report adds.
The statement of policy as to the
ultimate strength of the navy and the
time when it should be achieved is a
reiteration of the boards position as
carried in it's report to Secretary
Daniels each year since 1915.
Contrary to his custom for the last
few years, Mr.. Daniels did not make
public the boards recommendations
when his own annual report was re-
leased, although it was attached to
that document as it went to the presi-
dent. Mr.. Daniels did not himself
recommend any building program,
Withholding this for later presenta-
tion.
nj it's recommendations made public
today at the department, the general
board urged a policy of naval expan-
sion that will guarantee protection of
coast lines and the rapidly expanding
merchant marine against any naval
power in the world. Such protection,
the board declared, can be had only
by increasing American sea power to
point where it is second to none" :"
and maintaining it at that level.
The board further asserted that the
war having demonstrated that posses
sion of a fleet powerful enough to pro-
tect it's sea-borne commerce is vital
to any nation in time of hostilities,
the maintenance of such navy by
the United States would be 'great
preventive of war, for no nation would
| lightly provoke hostilities when her
own commerce would thereby be i'm
periled." The necessary future
strength of the powers in position
to challenge our legitimate CONNER
cial expansion upon the high seas"
Declaring the greatest naval lesson
of the war was the immense advan-
tage Of uniformity in speed and ar
mament of first line ships of the
American navy, we must have heavier
armament than the IL inch guns OF
the first dreadnaughts.
