NO AMENDMENTS LEFT
Senate Kills the Last Proposed
Change in Peace Treaty.
Fight to Be Made at Once on Eiimina-
ton of Labor Section of
Document.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The &c amend
ments attached to the peace treaty by
the foreign relations committee passed
into history when the last survivor Of
the group. a proposal by Senator
Moses, Republican, New Hampshire, to
revise voting strength in the league of
nations was consigned to the discard
In the senate by a vote of AZ to SO.
The senate upset two more pro-
posed textual changes in the treaty
brought in by individual senator's. One
OF them, presented by Senator Sher-
man, Republican, Illinois, proposing to
write into the treaty preamble a refer
ence to the Deity, was laid on the
table by a vote of 81 to 81. The other,
sponsored by Senator Johnson. Repub-
lican, California, as a new solution for
voting inequality in the league, was
killed outright by a count of 43 to 35.
A determined group of senators will
launch a fight to eliminate the labor
section of the treaty. opening a debate
which is expected to last for at least a
week. The battle is regarded as hold
ing out whatever hope remains Of writ
ing any amendment into the treaty.

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED
Court Order Against Coal Strike Too
Late, Labor Men Say.

LdtCy GdpOE WET odys
Washington, Nov. 1.-The big news
in the coal strike situation was the
federal courts order forbidding the
walkout. 1t was followed by a long
line of developments and opened the
door to wide possibilities.
The principal leaders in the miners
union met the courts action with de-
nunciation as a violation of constitu-
tional rights" declarations, that 1t
came too late to reach their men with
a countermanding order, and with pre-
dictions that it would be disregarded
anyway.
Meanwhile, organized labor leaders
showed signs of taking up cudgels on
a general issue over the right to strike.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, with Vice Presi-
dent Woll and Secretary Morrison,
protested as a delegation to Attorney
General Palmer against the govern
ment's action in issuing the injunction
and predicted that it could "only re-
suit in creating new and more dis
turbing issues which may not be con-
fined solely to the miners"
Attorney General Palmer empha-
sized to the labor leaders that the gov
ernment's injunction was in no wise
an infringement of the workingman's
right to strike, but that it was a law
full process against a calamity to the
country.

RATIFICATION is AWAITED
Peace Treaty Disposed Of. Wilson VIII
Kill Wartime Dry Act.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Before the
senate acted on the prohibition en-
forcement bill announcement was
made at the White House that Presi-
dent Wilson would annul wartime pro-
hibition as soon as the senate had
acted on the peace treaty. That is ex.
pected to be sometime next month.
The White House announcement
clears up any doubt as to whether the
IA would be ended legally with the
ratification Of the German treaty.
Some officials had expressed the opin-
ion that the war emergency would not
pass until the treaty with Austria had
been acted upon by the senate.

measure which becomes law, there will
be "a we. spell' until national prohibit

Leaders Say Walkout Is Com
pIete Despite Injunction to
Prevent 1t.
STRIKE OF VAST EXTENT
Mine Workers Heads Go Ahead With
Plans for Further Cessation Of
Work in Spite of Court
Bar.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-Bituminous coal
fields of the nation we're in the grip
of a strike, effective at midnight, which
leaders of the union miners declared
already had more than 394, 500 OF their
members out of the works, to remain
out until the strike should be settled.
Thousands more of the miners whose
whole number is roughly placed at
500, 900, would be out soon, they said.
The men already IN strike. the lead
ers reported, were those who had left
the mines, taking their tools with
them. Reports from the soft coal
fields were very incomplete and even
the union leaders agreed they would
await a few hours before being able
definitely to know the number of men
who had obeyed the strike call. But
in almost every instance, the miners
spokesman ASSERTED that the tieup Of
the mines would be virtually complete
although the unions will leave a suf-
ficient number Of men in the mines to
mar the pumps and keep the property
in shape for resumption of work when
the strike shall be ended. Some union
leaders refused to talk on account of
the restraining injunction issued at In
dianapolis.
Reports to the union leaders indi-
Gated that the bulk Of the miners in
the great producing regions of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Kentucky, Colorado. Kansas,
Montana and Wyoming had left the
mines at the close of the day shift, to
remain on strike.
What coming reports would show,
the union chiefs said, they were un-
able to predict, except that the strike
would be of SC vast an extent as to
paralyze production of bituminous
coal.
In Utah miners were quitting work
In spite Of a notice calling off the
strike as issued by John III. McLennan.
Utah representative of the United
Mine Workers of America. Mr.. Nc
Lehman announced that he had re-
ceived from John l.. Lewis. acting pres
ident of the organizations AT Indian.
apolis, a message informing him that
the strike should be called off. Mr..
Lewis, however, repudiated the mes
sage and no further explanation of the
mystery was to be had.
Elsewhere union leaders went about
with their plans for the strike, some
of them defiant of the injunction is
sued in the indianapolis federal court
restraining the national officers and
presidents and secretaries of districts
from issuing further messages or in
structions or exhortat'ons to their
memers to strike.
Troops Begin Moving.
Washington, Nov. Limited States
troops began arriving in some of the
mining districts, ready to take part in
keeping order and protecting those
miners who wished to continue to
work. The extent and full nature of
the troops movements were not dis
closed, but it was apparent that the
War department was acting on a care
fully worked-out plan to be ready IL the
local or state authorities, reinforced
by federal deputy marshals, were un-
equal to the situation.
