INSISTS UPON
NATIONALIzINC
Glasgow Conference Wants Mines
Taken Over and Run Partly
by the Workers.

Glasgow, Sept. 10.-By an over
whelming vote the trades union
congress at today's session adopted
a resolution favoring the national
iZation of the coal mines. The mo-
ton, presented by Robert Smillie,
the miners leader, was carried by
a vote of 4,47S,000 against 1900.
Glasgow, Sept. 1O.-The result
of the vote was to throw virtually
the entire congress solidly behind
the coal miners demand for the
naturalization of their industry
The resolution pledges insistence
by the body that the government
adopt the majority report of the
coal commission, presented last
June, known as the Sankey report.
This report provides for the state
ownership of the mines and for
joint control of their operation, in
which the miners would have an
effective voice.
The resolution rejects the pro-
posed alternative scheme of the
government as contrary to the
best interests of the nation" and
as creating the distinct trustifica-
ton of the coal industry"

VETS OF FOUR

Annual Parade of c.. A. r.

Columbus, Ohio. Sept 1O.-vet-
Grams of four Americans wars to-
dav Joined in the Victory parade of
the Grand Army of the Republ!c,
which is holding its Rational e1-
cam2ment here
In the line of marchers were
several aged Mexican war veter-
ans, riding in automobiles. Hun
dreds of Civil war veterans also
rode in machines, but thousands
of them marched proudly behind
their flags and fife and drum corps.
Heroes of the Spanish-American
and European vars, glad of the op-
portunity of doing homage to the
fast dwindling ranks of Civil war
fighters, paraded behind the bat
tie flags they carried on foreign
fields.
From Youth to Age.
The marchers ranged from mere
youths who served in France to
the grizzled veterans, many of
whom have passed the allotted
four score and ten.
In the line, which stretches fer
miles, were the deep blue uniform
of the Mexican and Civil wars, the
lighter blue of the Spanish-Amer-
ican war veterans, the natty blue
and white of the navy and the
familiar khaki of the recent val
The marchers passed through
seething masses of humanity which
taxed the capacity of tho streets.
Thousands witnessed the process
sion from buildings and automo-
biles. Flags were in great pro-
fusion.
Cheers for "BOyS.'
Cheers and shouts greeted the
"boys in blue" as they tiudged
past with stopped shoulders and
faltering steps. Enthusiasm ran
high as the younger veterans,
heads erect and eyes swapping,
passed with firm tread.
The marching veterans were re-
viewed by Clarendon L. Adams of
Omaha, commander-in-chie of the
Grand Army of the Republic, by
past national commanders, and by
Governor Cox.
The reviewing stand was in
front of the state house.

SENATOR S OUT
HOT ON TRAIL
OF PRESIDENT
Mccormick, Johnson and
and Borah Begin Cam
paign to Answer.

! Chicago, Ill, Sept. 10. - Three
Republican senators-Medill Nc
| Cormick of Illinois, Hiram John
son of California, and William E
: Borah of Idaho-today began their
campaign in reply to President
| Wilson's tour in behalf of unre-
served ratification of the peace
treaty.
Senator Mccormick will preside
at a mass meeting tonight at which
Senators Borah and Johnson will
speak, following which the sena-
tors will start on the trail of the
president. Their itinerary has
been so arranged as to cover most
of the country.
The first speech of the campaign
was made by Senator Johnson to-
day before the Hamilton club.
Senator johnson directed his ad-
dress against statements made by
the president, saying that Mr.. Will
sons report to his fellow coun-
trymen" concerning those affairs
of the world which now need to be
settled had apparently degenerated
into rather "intemperate and harsh
criticism"
Facts Make Issue.
"The inexorabIe facts make the
issue with Mr.. wilson," Senator
johnson continued. when he
says that the League of Nations
is the only conceivable arrange
ment which will prevent our send
ing our men abroad again very
4f
boys in khaki will not be ordered
into foreign lands, the days, the
events, the present conditions, an
swer and confound him. At the
very time he was making these
statements American boys were
upon the Rhine, condemned to re-
main there for Is years in the fu-
ture, by virtue of his action. AS he
uttered his words 1000 American
sons were being ordered by the
Paris conference (the real league
of nations now) to embark from
this country to Silesia to patrol
coal mines and police that terri
tory.
"As the president made his
boast of no khaki-clad boys across
the sea, American youths were be-
ing slain in Asia, at Vladivostok
and in Siberia, in a war not de-
cIared by American people or the
American congress, but directed in
secrecy at Paris.
THE facts make the issue with
Mr.. Wilson, and the issue is, shall
the American boys be brought
home; shall America be America
again, or shall American boys at
the behest of Mr.. Wilson and his
colleagues, acting in secrecy, be
sent to their death in Europe and
Asia? The issue is, shall the re-
public still be the master of its
destiny or shall that destiny be en-
trusted to foreign nations?"

wood, Ill, Feb. 4, 1870, the son of

through the west in the combined
interest Of mining developments
and labor.

scribed against rear platform ad-

Word Of the approach of the
presidential special had travelled
ahead, however, and in many small
towns and even at county cross
roads knots of people were found
waiting for a glimpse of the chief

here October 9, the day before
Mrs. Lorenson was to have ap-
peared in a divorce action in Lis
bon. Their bodies were found
floating on the surface Of the lake
today.

means OF letters and papers found
in their possession and in their
belongings at the hotel.
A pawn ticket for wrist watch
showed the straits to which the
women were put before they chose
death as solution.
A policeman and others earlier
in the day had identified the bodies
as those Of Mrs. Lillian MeKelvet
and Mrs. Augusta Holley. sisters.
This Identification was disproved
when tile sisters were found very
much alive.

King Albert and Suite
OFF for San Francisco;
Will Visit Kansas CITY

Santa Barbara, Cal, Oct 13.-
King Albert's special train left at
10 o'clock for San Francisco, where
it is due at 10 a. m. Tuesday. The
Belgian monarchs and their son
have been refreshed by their three
days stay here and are delighted
with California.
While the king crossed the CONT
nent when he was in this country
as the crown prince, 81 years ago,
he did not come south of Seattle
and knew nothing of California. For
those in the party who never had
been in America before, the long
journey from New York was a rev.
elation. They had little idea of the
magnitude of the United States and
have been amazed at the tremendous
distances.
King Albert is deeply concerned
about the condition of President
Wilso, and reads eagerly the bulle-
tins on his condition. To those in
his suite he frequently voices his
anxiety and the earnest hope that
the president soon may be restored
to health.
Kansas City, Oct. H.-King Al
bert of Belgium, whose itinerary
was recently changed so that he
would not visit Kansas City, an
nounced that he had reconsidered

Won't Return to Jobs

New York, Oct. 13.-Thousands OF
longshoremen massed in Cooper
Union to vote on the question OF
calling off the strike which has viz
tual1y tied up New York harbor
made it so evident that they intend
ed to stay out that their interna-
tional officers abandoned their in
tention Of putting the question to a
vote.
1t was q relatively good-natured,
but determined, crowd of waterfront
"huskies" that filled the hall, but out
side thousands of their comrades
surged towards the door so deter
minedly in their efforts to get in that
police reserves had to be summoned.
The result Of the meeting
leaves New York facing the prospect
OF curtailed food supply, for in ad-
dition to nearly $4,000 longshore-
men, ferryboat workers and 1l,000
tugboat men, teamsters, chauffeurs
and he!oers caused the American
Railway Express company to place
an embargo on all express packages
entering and leaving New York.
