MINERS TO DECIDE
 ON STRIKE TODAY
All Eyes Focused on Conference at Indianapolis-Scale COm- mittee Meets With Leaders of Union.

Springfield, H., Oct. 28.-Interest in the strike of soft coal miners, set for midnight Friday, shifted today to Indianapolis with the departure from Springfield this morning of John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, who will confer tomorrow at the Indiana capi- tai with members of the miners in- ternational executive board on final strike plans.
 MT. Lewis declined to comment on the possible outcome of the confer ence of the mine union leaders who constitute the responsible leaders of the mine workers organization. He was content to say the strike order remained in effect and would be ap- erative at midnight Friday unless re- scinded in the meantime.
 A flood of telegrams is being re- ceived daily by him, MT. Lewis said, pledging support in the existing crisis.
 Washington, Oct. 28.-Hope was expressed in official quarters today that the soft coal strike set for Sat urday would be postponed, if not called off.
 Announcement that John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, had summoned members of the full scale committee to meet the international executive board at Indianapolis tomorrow was accepted as an indication that President Will sons command to the miners organi- zation not to plunge the country into industrial chaos might be needed.
 Tn full belief that officers of the in- ternational body who ordered the strike have power to stop it, govern ment officials awaited the next step, which must come from the miners. Confidential reports from the central coal field territory indicated, it was said, not all of the mining army sof more than half million men would quit work.
 Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colo rado, explained to the Senate today that the bill he introduced yesterday did not provide for the use of soldiers in operating the coal mines in the

SENATE OVERRIDES
 DRY BILL VETO
President Announces Will AnnuI Wratime Liquor Ban-Senate Vote Was Eight More Than Necessary.

Washington, Oct. 28.-The prchibi- tion enforcement bill was repassed today by the Senate over President Wilson's veto The section relating to wartime prohibition becomes ef- fective immediately upon it's trans mission to the State Department by the clerk of the Senate.
 The vote was 65 to 20, eight more than the necessary two-thirds major ity. Before the Senate acted, an- nouncement was made at the White House that President Wilson would annul wartime prohibition as soon as the Senate had acted on the peace treaty. That is expected to be some time next month.
 Officials explained that the war time act provided that it should be annulled by the president when peace had been declared and when the army and navy had been demobilized. Con- gress was informed yesterday by the president in his message vetoing the prohibition enforcement bill that de- mobilization of the army and the navy had been completed.
 The White House announcement clears mp any doubt as to whether the war would be ended legally with the ratification of the German treaty. Some officials had expressed the opin- ion the war emergency would not pass until the treaty with Austria had been acted upon by the Senate. Prohibition forces in and out of the Senate will not attempt to delay rati fication of the peace treaty because of the White House announcement that war time prohibition will end with formal ratification of the pact, off cers of the Anti-Saloon League an- nounced.
 E. C.. Dinwiddie, in charge of the Anti-Saloon League fight before Con- gress, said dry forces adhered to the belief that wartime prohibition would stand until the Senate had rati- fled the Austrian treaty, but, regard less of that, "the league will not at tempt to block consideration of the treaty"

 The conference will settle down to work Friday, taking up first the ques- tion of the eight-hour day and the 40-hour week, according to present plans.
 The opening of the meeting of the International Federation of Trade Unions, called to meet Monday, was postponed again today owing to the further delay in the arrival of w. A. Appleton of England, president, and other officials.

FREATY LABOR BODY CONFINES
<. .,.y Nations Represented in luass r.ssion at Washingt0n-Dele-
 ,,sses Are Expected to Re-
 gsiu sr for One Month.

u,..hinoton, Oct. 28.-The first of
 i, international bodies created by
 Y. % tyeaty of Versailles to meet in
 ~ america. the international labor con
 ss,euce. will convene at noon tomor-
 {, Washington. Sessions of the
 .afeyence are expected to continue
 <, practically month and to lay
 ,hs foundation of a worldwide move
 r,snt for improvement and standard
 zation of workers.
 Although the legal status of the
 catbering still is held in doubt in
 some quarters, members of the organ
 ,.t;on committee and officials of the penartment of Labor were agreed to- dav that the delegates who have ar rived, representing more than 30 countries, should proceed to organize some sort of conference and discuss the agenda prescribed in the peace treaty. Secretary of Labor Wilson still holds the view that only those states which have ratified the treaty can participate in the official confer ence, which is a part of the machinery of the league of nations. But plan, however, has been proposed which is expected to reconcile technical legal ty with the practical necessity of holding the conference at this time without postponement.
 In opening the conference tomor- TOW Secretary Wilson will describe the assembly as the conference in the process of being organized" it was said today. This interpretation, it was pointed out, the provision of the treaty calling for the opening of such conference on Oct. 29 will be fulfilled, and advantage will be taken of the power of the United States as organizer of the conference to admit nations which have not ratified the treaty.
 If the recommendation of the or ganizing committee is carried out, the programme tomorrow, following Sec retary Wilson's address, will consist Of an address by John Barrett, direc- tor of the Pan-American Union; re- port of Arthur Fontaine of France, committee chairman; provisional adop ton of draft, standing orders, and election of committee on creden- tials.
 The question of the admission of Germany and Austria also will be submitted tomorrow. While the or ganlzlng committee will not make a recommendation on this point, indi- Hduals expressed themselves as strongly in favor of their participa-
