H.use Agrees With Railway Workers
In Plan For Voluntary Con-
 ciliation of Labor Disputes
 Compulsory Arbitration Plan Rejected.

Washington. Nov. 4-Raiway work CTS scored a complete victory in the house today through incorporation of their plan for voluntary equalization of T. Dor disputes in the Esch railroad bill. The house rejected a plan of compulsory arbitration, including an anti-strike provision, and also the plan written into the bill blk the house interstate commerce commit-ee, which was described as middle ground between that adopted and compulsory arbitration. No direct vote on the anti strike proposal was taken.
 On both votes the proponents of the unions plan won by large majorities. First, by vote of 151 to 75. the house substituted the unions plan for com pulsory arbitration and then, 161 to 10S, cats aside the committee plan for that indorsed by the workers
 Final action came after practically the entire day had been devoted to debate of the three plans, and after adoption of the workers plan renewed effort to include the anti strike pro vision met with defeat through pariia- mentary tactics.
 The plan approved by the railroad employees would legaiize the machinery used by the railroads and their em- ployes before and during federal con- trol for the settlement if disputes. with commissions on labor disputes being added to consider cases appealed from the joint boards that first consider them

 TIME PROHIBITION. UPHELD

New FeriS;,s Nov. f44-@@Ttree attempts to prevent enforcement of the wartime prohibition and Volstead enforcement acts failed in federal courts here to- day. Federal Judges Learned Hand, John c. Knox and John G. Rose of Baltimore. each in a different case, up- held the constitutiona1ity of the law in denying petitions seeking injunctiors to restrain interference in manufacture and withdrawal of liquor from bond.
 Judge Hand denied a petition of Ja- cob Ruppert. brewer, who sought an injunction permitting him to resume the manufacture of beer of 2.15 alco- holic content.
 Judge Knox denied a petition to re- strain William H. Edwards. collector Of internal revenue. from preventing the release from bond barrels of dis titled spirits. The petitioners were Dryfoos, Bloom X company, whole- sale liquor dealers, and the decision was handed down in passing on de murrers of two local saloon keepers who sought to prevent enforcement of the act.
 The third decision by Judge Rose was on an application by the Mary land Distilling company for an in junction to prevent Joshua ". Miles, collector of internal revenue of Mary land. from interfering in the release of large quantities of whiskey now in bond.
 In commenting on the fact that technically the nation is still at war, Judge Rose expressed the opinion that the use of beer and light wines should be permitted because of changed conditions since last spring He added that it was not in the prov ince of the judiciary to state when the war is at an end.

Washington Nov. 14.-Demands of coal miners for a thirty hour week and sixty per cent. increase in wages and an unyielding position by the operators, alike were declared impossible by Secretary Wilson in opening today the conference called to bring. pecae to the bituminous fields of the nation. To obtain this peace the secretary proposed three plans of procedure.
 Declaring that the Washington wage agreement still is legally in force. MT. Wilson told the operators and miners that the people of the United States were not "Shyloeks" and did not want to exact ''the techni cal provisions of bond when the con- ditions under which the bond was made have changed" He added that "if any great change is made in the contracts the people of the United States are the ones who will have to pay" and throughout his remarks en- phasized the public interest ill the coal settlement.
 The three proposals expected to aid the two factions in arranging the new wage agreement were set forth by the labor secretary as follows:
 First, negotiation through joint wage scale committees representing all dis tricts; second. negotiation through concurrent sessions of committees from the various districts. and. third negotiation first of an agreement in the central competitive field and then

cLoTuRE PETITION HAS
 BEEN PRESENTED IN SENATE

Washington, Nov. 14.-A petition was presented in the senate tor .clo- ture today Thirty republicans sign ed the petition and party leaders de- clared that more would vote for it.
 Among the democrats, however, there was more uncertainty. growing out of a question of policy involving the whole administration program of. parliamentary action on the treaty. Democratic Leader Hitchcock was understood to incline away from .he cloture proposal, and although some democrats said they would not fol- low him, far greater number re- served their decision.
 Vice President Marshall is expected to be in the chair when the question au- tomatically comes to vote an hour after the senate meets tomorrow and it was considered possible that he might remove democratic objections by so construing the cloture rule fHat it will not upset the administration plans.
 With the senate in rdcess today ! there was much discussion as to the exact meaning and effect of the rule, which never has been invoked since
 it was adopted more than two years ago.
 Senator Hitchcock's, apprehension resulted from the fact that the clo- | ture petition as presented yesterday i by Republican Leader Lodge. called ] for tiie D-Ua-ng OI debate on the i treaty of peace" So broad a proposi- | tion. the democratic leader feared might operate to prevent d vote or
 any ratification resolution except the one drawn by the foreign relations i committee containing reservations unacceptable to the administration. This resolution thedemocrats piaI

of agreements for other fields with that of. the central district as a basis.
 After hearing Secretary Wilson the conference adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow to permit the miners and operators to ltscrss separately the plan which would be most acceptable to each.
 Indication of a conflict on the scope of the agreement to be negotiated in volving the question of recognition of non-uEion workers developed at the autset of the conference and become more apparent in the two group meet ings which followed.
 Discussion in the miners caucus which followed the conference session hinged on the question whether opera tors representing both union and non- union fled would be included in the conference, and the effect any agree ment reached by the conference might have in those fields where the miners do not have contracts with the opera tors. Although officers of the United Mine Workers refused to make any statement following their meeting, it was learned that the plan for na- tionwide conference was favored, but before any proposal is agreed to, Sec retary Wilson will be asked to make clear to the conference that the rights of organized labor are to make clear to the conference that the rights of or ganized labor are to be protected in ! those districts where the mining union
 are not recognized by the coal com panies.
 The operators. however, did not 1 look with favor on an agreement cov- ering all fields. The Washington wage 1 agreement. for the first time the op- orators asserted. fixed the same date 1 for the expiration for contracts be- tween miners and operators in all parts of the country. Fear of the pow = CT this arrangement gives the workers to bring about a nationwide strike was
 expressed by the operators, who indi- | cated a desire to return to the old | plan of passing all wage scale con-
 tracts on the agreement reached in l the central competitive fields.
 Owners of mines outside of the cen
 tral competitive fields conferred before | the opening of the conference and op- position was expressed to participa- l tion in the negotiations.
 l Owing to the likelihood of protract- 1 ed discussion of the scope of the con- | ference before even the demands ot
 the miners are brought into issue
 many on both sides of the controversy i predicted today that the sessions
 might continue for several weeks. l Both miners and operators asserted | tonight that Secretary Wilson's ad
 dress would have a powerful effect ir | bringing closer together the extremes I of both sides. The secretarys ad- l dress, which was heard by approxi- nately 250 members of the conference ill absolute silence. was delivered ! slowly, and apparently with deep feel
 ing and conviction. The only applause
 of the session greeted MT. Lewis wher
 he entered the hall about 15 minute: late. Secretary Wilson had delayed
 claling the meeting to order until tht
