Wilson Won't (bj;ct # Not
Parl Of Treaty Ratification.
NO COERCION IN LEAGUE
The President Gives Frank Answers
to Questions Of Senators at White
House Conference.

Washington, Aug. 20.-ln confer
enc,, ut The White House, unprecedent
e.t. - American history, President
Wn.,n discussed the peace treaty
with lhe senate foreign relations com
miitee.
He answered questions put by Sen.
atnrs ami gave out stenographiI
transcript Of the proceedings to The
public.
TIE conference was held ia the
east room, where the visitors were
seated around d big table. Senator
Lodge was seated next to the presi,
dent.
Some OF the inside details of the
peace conference, how the league OF
nariauS covenant was drawn, and
other historic happenings, were hand,
ed out verbatim for the world to read.
in contrast 70 the timehonored pro-
cedure Of secrecy.
Making Il plea for ratification OF
the treaty that the world may be
turned wholly back to Il peace basis,
the president said he saw no reason
able objection to the senate express
ing its Interpretation of the league OF
nations covenant so long as those9ln-
terpretations did not actually become
part Of the act of ratification. ~--esS
If interpretations were part of the
formal ratification, the president con-
tended, long delays would follow as
other governments would rave to "ac-
cept in effect the language of the SEN
ate as the language of the treaty be-
fore ratifica ton would be complete"
Most of the interpretations, the
preident said, seemed to him to sug-
gest the plain meaning of the instru-
ment itself"
Regarding the Shantung question,
the president said he disagreed with
the opinion given the committee by
Secretary of State Lansing that Japan
would have signed the treaty regard
less of whether 1t contained the Shan
,tnng provision. He intimated the
league of nations would prevent Japan
from assuming any complete, soyer-
eighty over Shantung.
When Senator Johnson, of Calif0r-
mia, asked the president how the
American. delegates voted on Japan's
proposal for a racial equality, the
president replied that sin the interest
of international good understanding
he could NOT answer the question"
In answer to further questions by
Senator Johnson, President Wilson
said Japan had notified the confer
ence her delegates would not sign the
treaty as drawn. The Shantung pro-
vision was inserted, the president
said, in view of the engagements of
Great Britain and France, and be
cause he thought it the best that could
be done.
Replying to Senator Fall, who sug-
gested that as Germany was not a
member of the league of nations,
amendments to the league covenant
would not be submitted to her. and
she would not have to give her con-
sent, the president said:
ST will admit that that point had
not occurred to me. No, she would
not"

exceeding every other demand, ever
made in the history of mine work
ing, the representatives Of the three
anthracite colIiery districts Nos. L,
and 8, of the United Mine Workers OF
America, went on record for de-
crease of their working hours to SIX
each day and for boost of wages TO
60 per cent above the present level,
which includes war bonuses.
The demand represents the Official
claim of $4,000 workers, and 1t will
i, be finally laid before the national
delegates at the Cleveland convention
in September.
John l.. Lewis, acting president OF
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, was called from Indianapolis to
take charge of the anthracite work
ers' meeting. Until he arrives the
business was in charge Of Thomas l..
Kennedy, of the Hazleton region.
Insurgents who have bolted the un-
ion and are still contesting the elec-
ton of officers in district No. l at
tended the sessions, but remained
quiet. 1t was possible Developments
from them that caused the national
officer to be called to the city.
AID effort will be made to tone
down the anthracite demands before
final action is taken at the convention.
1t is believed the curtailment Of hours
will be stricken out Of the present
demands, but that the draft Of agree
ment to be offered the operators In
fa5ss9 will insist upon the 60 per cent
wage increase unless living conditions
are emeliorated.
Under the rule of the past the in
crease would be transferred to the
