CAN'T PREVENT
MINE STRIKE
Proposal of Secretary Wilson
for Settlement Rejected
by Coal Miners.
OFFER HELD INADEQUATE

W a h on, Oct, 2S.-The
United Mine Workers of Amer
'ica today formally rejected the pro-
posal by Secretary Wilson for settle
ment of the coal strike called for
Nov. l.
John l.. Lewis, president of the
miners organization, announced that
the proposal was indefinite, made
quate and failed to meet the situation.
He added that he would so report TO
the Joint conference this afternoon.
The coal strike will go through.
John l.. Lewis declared after hold
ing a conference with other leaders
of the miners.
1.-THE strike order stN stands" said
Lewis, as he left the conference. THE
strike will not be averted We will
reject the secretarys proposal as be-
ing inadequate to meet the demands
of the miners. We will so inform him
this afternoon, but we will listen to
what he has to say"
Lewis and other leaders were of
the opinion that there is no chance
now of concessions which would lead
to negotiations.
Lewis went into conference with
Samuel Gompers to make plans for
cooperation from the American
Federation of Labor during the pro-
posed strike.
Alliance With Railroaders.
An alliance between the coal miners
and the railroad men for co-opera-
tive action in nationalizing the coal
mines as well as the railroads, is re-
ported to be in the making. A meet
ing will be held in Washington to-
morrow between John l.. Lewis and
other officers of the United Mine
Workers of America and the pres-
dents of the four railroad brother
hoods for this purpose.
Special significance as attached
to the meeting at this time because
of a threatened coal strike. The presi-
dents of the brotherhoods say the
miners asked for the meeting.

| conduct as charged in the bill.
Soon after the divorce suit began
trouble was narrowly averted be-
tween the principals in a trial in the
justice court over some property. The
next heard of Tucker was when he
was arrested and held in connection
/ with the death of pretty Billy Craw-
ford. On her dying bed the youps
girl claimed that Tucker had at
tempted to perform an operation on
her trom the effects of which she
died.
Tucker was held to the grand jury
and at the next session, it is predicted
the attorney generals office will fur
nish enough proof to indict Tucker
for attempt at abortion.
On last Saturday Tucker again ap-
peared in the limelight when he at
tempted, or pretended he wanted to-
fight Attorney Harry S. Newton.
When Tucker, however, saw Newton
was willing he desisted. 1t was pre-
dcted by many that when Tucker got
out of Jail on the charges of which
| he was held that he would leave
Chattanooga, but he appears to have
no such intention.
Tucker made bond late this after
noon, his attorney, Byron Tatum
signing it for him.
Harry s. Newton, attorney for Mrs
Tucker, stated this afternon that
Tucker was at present under a $500
peace bond and on account of his as
sault on Mrs. Tucker Thursday, this
bond would be forfeited and his
bondsmen held liable. Mr.. Newton
stated that the sending of obscene
literature through the mail by Tucker
and his conduct on Thursday towards
his wife would be prosecuted to the
limit.

Supplies From American
Relief Officers.
BATTLE GOES SLOWLY

London. Oct. 23.--krasnaia Gorka,
a fortified city on the southern shore
Of the Gulf of Finland, about thirty
miles west of Petrograd, has been
taken by antibolshevik troops, ac-
cording to Helsingfors advices. Sout h
and southwest of Petrograd the
northwestern Russian army seems to
be making slow progress. Advices re-
ceived here, however, would appear to
indicate slight advance by Gen.
Iudenitch during the last few days, it
being said a severe struggle is in
progress six and one half miles south
of the city. Soviet forces are report ed
to have arrived at Petrograd from
Moscow and to be engaged in the bat
tie.
Gen. Denikine has again defeated
the bolshcviki in the Voca region,
having driven the soviet forces back
near Kamyshin, north of Tzaritsyn,
according to a wireless message re-
ceivcd here from the Denikine head
quarters.
The soviet government on the other
hand, claims to have broken in the
apex of the great wedge driven
northward toward Moscow by the
Denikine army, the villages of Sievsk
and Kromy having been taken. It is
said the Denikine Cossacks are being
pursued southward in this region.

STRIhE WOULD
AFFECT 100000
Railroad Brotherhood Officials
Planning to Set a General
Strike Date.
MUCH REJOICING CAUSED

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Railroad d
brotherhood officials are planning to
set a general strike date in No
vember. it was stated at the headouar-
tiers of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks, here today.
This strike date would be used In
the event that the railroad admins
tration fails to adjust the demands
OF the railroad workers for increased
wages or fails to give assurance of
better conditions when the railroads
are returned to their private owners,
it was said.
The strike date would affect 100000
men of the four railway brother
hoods; about 100000 from the rail-
way shopmen's division; 100000
maintenance of way employees and
100000 from the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks.
The railway shopmen's unions have
been voting unanimously for strike
in November, it was declared at
headquarters here. 1t was due to the
efforts of the shopmen that the de-
cision for the general strike date has
come.
Much Rejoicing.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 23.-There
was much rejoicing at the headuuar-
ters Of the steel strikers today over
the prospective wallS-out Of railroad
men in sympathy with them. Only
those men who handle the raw prod
ucts and the output Of the mills
would be affected, but their quitting
would seriously cripple the industry.
The matter was discussed at length
by the strike organizers last night
and there was to be another meeting
today. 1t is likely that the men would
be out but a few days.
The ban on strikers meetings here
still stood today despite the bitter
fight of counsel to have it lifted
After a full days hearing, the court
ruled that Mayor E. V. BabcoclS's
action in refusing permits was cor
rect, and the strikers petition was
refused.
Increased Operations.
Increased operations in the steel
mills of the Pittsburgh district af-
fected by the strike, We're reported
today by the United States Steel
corporation and Independent inter-
ests. No details as to tonnage were
given out. but it was said in almost
all the plants affected, additional
men were added to the working
forces.
Strike headquarters had no reports
this morning to indicate any change
in the situation.

(BY J. BART cAMPBELL.)

Washington, Oct. 23.-U. n. S.)--
Following a series of addresses by
Senators Johnson, of California; Len
root, Of Wisconsin, and Mccormick, oi
Illinois, the senate planned to recess
this afternoon until tomorrow with
out voting on the Johnson amend
ment to equalize the voting power of
the United States and Great Britain
in the leageu of nations.
The purpose of the recess was to
permit the senate foreign relations
committee TO meet to consider new
reservations.
One after another of the so-called
republican mild -reservationists" in
cluding Kellogg, of Minnesota; Hale,
of Maine, Colt, of Rhode Island and
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, expressed
their intention today of voting for the
provision that the senate reservations
when adopted must be concurred in
by at least three OF the four prin-
cipal powers with which the United
States associated in the war
Senator Johnson, in denouncing the
provision of the league of nations
covenant, which gives Great Britain
six votes and the United States but

declared in the senate that the uues-
ton involved was one Of american
ism" of American pride" of the
right of the United tSates "to meet
other nations on an equal footing in
world affairs"
Senator Johnson criticized the Sc
crecy which surrounded the league
agreement.
"If the mother nations sgnatory to
the German peace treaty, either in
dividually or collectively, are not
satisfied iwth the reservations we
make, then the 'scrapping of the
treaty is entirely up to them" SEN
ator Edge, republican, of New Jersey,
declared.
Senator Lenroot, republican, OF
Wisconsin, said he would vote against
the Johnson amendment because he
regarded reservations more effective
than amendments.
II see no objections to Great Brit
ain, France, italy or Japan being eX-
pressly asked to give their open and
unqualified assent to the senates
resolutions" Lenrot said.
