Shows Little Improvement.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Representa-
tives of all the larger coal mining cor
porations in the United States today
reached an agreement on new wage
scale for mine workers, after an all
day session here, and announced it
would be submitted to the fuel adj
ministration for ratification tomorrow.
1t embodies, it was said, little more
than the IA per cent increase for the
men suggested by Fuel Administrator
Garfield as the government proposal
for dealing with the strike, which the
miners rejected.
Meanwhile, the operators were keep

Indianapolis, where the federal court
on the application of department of
justice agents cited "a general and
district officials of the United States

Indianapolis in advance of the hearing
to be given the miners officials on

teer workers.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING
 OFFICE MAX ES RECORD

Washington. June 2-CSpecial )-The government printing office demonstrated the fact Monday night that it is the greatest plant of it's kind in the world
 It was necessary for the office to print, in addition to the regular daily routine peace treaty containing 100000 words or 65 pages of closely lying type
 The copy was not presented to the Sen ate until o'clock in the afternon, so the additional and mountainous job was received at the office under the most un- favorable circumstances. Another diff culty was found in the fact that capi- talization used in the treaty copy was entirely dissimilar from that used in gov ernment routine.
 The treaty, be it remembered, was ex- tra. The Senate, throughout the day, had talked at length regarding the treaty, and several senators had made extensive addresses regarding the merits ot the document, and whether or not it would be ethical to print it. The House had been very busy with the new mili- tary appropriation bill. So the daily routine was up to standard as far as bulk was concerned.
 But Tuesday morning the Record ap- peared as usual. Forty-eight linotype op- orators were put to work at 6 O clock, and Al proof readers corrected the CODY as soon as the takes were completed. 1t was a big job received under han dicaps. But the office made good

Republicans Haue Failed
 To Put Wilson in Hole
Conservative View Is That They Have Gained Nothing by Nagging at President-Southern Republican Club
 in Washington Is Raided by the Police
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. June 12.-(Special.)- )-For the several days since the republicans forced the publication of the peace treaty the uncompleted document-they have strained themselves to find some log ical fact sustaining their contention that the President had dark and obscure reasons for withholding it from the Sen ate of the United States.
 The conservative estimate is that they have failed. The opinion is apparently more or less very general that the Presi- dent was animated solely by a very bright and fair reason-namely, his agreement with England. France and Italy not to give the document to the public prior to its completion
 It is true that the republicans have been able to point out differences exist ing between the official summary made public May 2 and the unofficial whole forced into the Congressional Record a month later But the summary contained only 11,000 words. whereas the treaty when completed will contain 100000. No evidence has ben deduced, however, prov ing that the differences are differences of fact. The more abundant verbiage of

reputation. One of the most recent is that of MT. G. W. Zirkle, who has been a resident of East Thomas, Ala, for the past 15 years, and is one of the best known men in this section of the coun- try, being special police officer for the l. c. R. R. Co, and man of the ut most honor and integrity. He stated:

the treaty has given opportunity TOT variance in deduction.
 One clever contention by republicans is that the President was moved to secrecy because the treaty is alleged to have per mitted 'Jokers" to interfere, if not to render impossible, "self-determination" on the part of some peoples or nations. They point to the conditions surrounding and modify the future status of the Saar valley.
 In the summary, published May :, the idea was permitted to grow that within l5 years, the people of the Saar should
 n a plebiscite determine their own fate, whether they should be governed by Trance, by a commission under French jurisdiction or by Germany. The treaty as printed in the Record indicates that .he oaar valley will always be under the dominion of France. It is stated that t the people in the election to be heia within 15 years vote to be governed by France, they will be governed by France, If they vote to be controlled by a French commission. they would be so controlled; i; but if they vote to be returned to Ger many, the verdict shall go to the League of Nations which shall do with it as the league thinks best or wisest.
 Nothing will compel the league to act. III accordance with the vote IT the vote should favor Germany. Inasmuch as it is reasonable to suppose that France, for at least 15 years, will be a stronger factor in the league than Ger many, the German verdict might be yitl ated on the theory that the Saar people are unable to think for themselves, or that Germany is not prepared to govern any intelligent people fairly.
 But the case, when attempt is made to present it as proof that the President had dark reasons for withholding the publication of the treaty, seems to be
 far-fetched" or to fall down. That is the opinion of democrats, and seems to be the opinion of conservatism in Amer ica. It is regarded simply as proving a victory for George Clemenceau, an oldfashioned practical politician who doesn't adhere very rigidly to the utill- tarian theories of the present-day school.

SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN
 CLUB IS RAIDED

Washington, June 12.-(Special) )-The Southern Republican club, formed in Washington some two months ago, has been raided. Seventy men, white and black. were taken on charges of gam bling.
 It was typical republican club-very sumptuously equipped from basement to garret. very garish, very dark and ob- scure, very secret. It was generally thought that it was organized for the specific purpose of breaking the solid south" For negroes were included in ifs membership.
 But the police, perhaps the democratic. members of the force. got suspicious. 50 they raided. Seventy men were taken, including the president and secretary both of whom were colored men of ap parently more or less education
 And thus the solid south remains in violate.

WANT MERCHANT MARINE
 GREATEST IN THE WORLD

Washington. June 12.-(Speeial )-With the vessels created for war purposes the government plans the establishment of the greatest merchant marine of the world.
 Congress, nevertheless. cannot conclude what action to take. Subsidy is neces- sary, it apepars, and many members are opposed to subsidy. Subvention may be for the latter is financial as- sisaance rendered in only meritorious cases containing probability of especial benefit to the public.
 Chairman Hurley of the emergency fleet corporation has given an indica ton of how tne marine will be operated. There will be regular routes to and from all important ports of the United States The United States, which has hitherto depended on foreign vessels, and paid for such dependence the price of foreign na- tions, will then be prepared to take care of its own commerce, and offer induce ments for shipments in American bot toms.
 As heretofore pointed out, there is ap- parently an opportunity for Alabama in the programme as arranged. Chairman Hurley has not designated the port for the gulf terminus of his marine. It will be either Mobile or New Orleans. Should Mobile be named, Birmingham coal and lloii iHercHdHeS VIII nave means or tranS- 'oHrting regularly and cheaply their products to markets out of which, for economical reasons, they have been prac- tically barred in the past
 But should New Orleans be named, Mo bile would still be the principal feed ing" port. For Alabama would still be called upon to furnish the bulky tonnage And from this necessity will develop, it is indicated, an adequately prepared Warrior river
 Alabama members of Congress are de lighted with the situation and see great good ahead. Alabamians will come to next week to inaugurate the active fight for Mobile.
