ing William q. Foster, secretary and
treasurer Of the committee organiz-
ing the steel workers, and other Ia

MINE WORKERS PLAN
TO CALL A COAL STRIKE
= IF DEMANDS FAIL

Cleveland, O., Sept. 24.-The Un-
itedkt Mine Workers of America
convention delegates were scattering
10 all parts of the country today, de-
termined to call a nationwide coal
strike on November 1 unless a sat
isfactory waGR and working agree
ment is reach Fsith the coal opera
tors on or Oefess that date.
The convention adjourned late yes
terdsS before endorsing the wage
and Iour scale and clothing their Of
ficia's with the power to call the
strike. A flat increase of sixty per
cent in wages for all classes of work,
time and half for overtime, six
hour day and a fiye-day week will
be demanded ct the conference Of
miners and operators in Buffalo to-
morrow.
International officers were bound
by. the action Of the convention to
negotiate but not to sign any wage
or working agreement. If the Of
fieers declare themselves satisfied
with the agreement offered by the
operators they must reconvene the
convention in Indianapolis for rati-
fication of the new scale. The scale
indorsed by the convention also calls
for the abolition of all automatic
penalty clauses. While nationaliza-
tiUn of railroads was not written into
the scale, the convention voted to
have their representatives reflect the
demands of the miners on that point
at the conference.

WILSON TO FIGHT
RESERVATIONS TO
TREATY TO FINISH

En- Route To Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Sept. 24.-The fight has just begun,
Convinced that eighty per cent OF
the American people are for Lea
que of Nations and would rather see
the proposed league established than
none at all, President Wilson means
to fight to a finish against reserva-
tions that would alter the meaning
of the treaty. He told his audience
at Ogden, Utah, that it didn't make
any difference to him how long the
fight would be, that he would fight
till it was won.
Coming on. the top of disquieting
news dispatches telling first of the
detection of Senator Thomas, OF
Colorado, and then of the intention
of eight Democrats led by Senator
Ashhurst to amend the treaty and
send it back to conference, Mr.. Will
sons brief speech at Ogden gives
an idea of 1.-The seriousness with
which he regards attempts to amend
the treaty at this time So does
his speech at Salt Lake.
Perhaps it was the news from
Washington or the consciousness
that he must no longer be- too
supersensitive of senatorial feelings,
but the president said at Odgen, that
GAIL the elements which tended
toward disloyalty during the war
are against the league" and that SO
far as he was concerned. he meant
to see the thing through and not
betray the men who fought for the
establishment of a concert of power
that would make further war unnec-
cessary.
Mr.. Wilson feels intensely on the
subject because public manifesto
tions have just been unmistakably in
his favor as he has traversed the Pa
eific coast states, and his reception
in Nevada was enthusiastic The
being given hi1r by 'Republi-
can as well as Democratic newspa-
pers in Utah also is significant Of the
trend of popular opinion.

Washington, Sept. 24.-People
who continue to believe that there
is a bag of gold at the end Of the
rainbow are largely responsible for
industrial and social unrest in Am
erica and other countries, Secretary
Lane declared today in an address
before the annual convention of the
Association of American Secretaries
of State. y
"These folks" said Mr.. Lane
won't take the word Of experienced
men all down the road Of history
that there is no magical way to
happiness. Work alone finds the
way. Work is the salvation, material
ly and spiritually. ". ..,..
"Our way morale has not been
maintained. We have not the unity
Of purpose that prevailed then. We
lack a common purpose, we Ameri-
cans, though we are just as loyal,
just as idealistic.
1--WE can develop an aggressive,
constructive program for America.
Let us all work to make this
country better place in which to
live, not by selfish enterprise, but
by cooperation. That is our ideal.
Let US live up to it."

GREAT MAJORITY
FAVOR LEAGUE

Ogden, Utah, Sept. 23.-President
Wilson told a crowd today he had
found 80 per cent. of the people in
favor of the league of nations. The
chief opposition, he added, came from

included the influences which tended
toward disloyalty during the war.
The declaration was made from
the rear platform Of the presidents
private car, where crowd clamored
for speech after the presidential
party had returned from brief ride
through Ogden.
"I can not make real speech in
the circumstances" he said, "for. you
will understand the theme that have
most at heart needs a lot of sea
room to turn in and I would despair
of making any adequate remarks
about so great a matter as the treaty
of peace or the league of nations;
but 1 do find this, that the thing is
very near the heart Of the people.
"There are some men in public life
who do not seem to be in touch with
tn" Heart Of Tie people, but i:.,.se
who are, know how that heart throbs
deep and strong for this great enter
prise Of humanity, for it is nothing

Yudenitch's Army,
Cut in Half, Must
Flee or Surrender

London, Nov. 20.-The position on
the Petrograd front as described in
Bolshevik wireless message is a
serious one for General Yudenitch's
army, which has been cut in half,
1t must either surrender, the mes
sage says, or cross the frontier into
Esthonia. in which direction 1t is
being pursued.
In the course of the, coming week
the region between the Luga and
Narova rivers will be cleared.
The reports received indicate that
the revolt was organized and led
by General Gaida. After General
Gaida was wounded he surrendered
| with about n dozen of his officers,
and probably will be deported, the
report said. Members of the gov
ernment, which was organized un-
der cover of Gaida's revolt, have
disappeared.
One American sailor was wounded
by a stray bullet while standing on
the deck of the U. S. S. New Or
leans. and two British officers are
reported to have been killed or
wounded while doing Red Cross
work.
General Yudenitch is reported
through Finnish advices received to-
day, to have captured $4,000 pris-
oners and killed 5000 OF the Bolshe-
Wiki opposing his armies in West
ern Russia.
The revolution at Vladivostok has
been quelled according to later dis
patches.
Somewhere in Russian territory
held by the Bolsheviki. the daugh-
ter of General Yudenitch, who led
his army in an attempt to capture
Petrograd. is or was hiding for fear
of being shot by the men whom her
father is fighting. This fact has
been made known here by General
Dobriansky representative of Cen
eral Yudenitch in London.
General Yudenitch does not know
what fate has befallen his daugh-
ter. Her husband was killed in bat
tie with the Germans shortly after
her marriage.

Is Endorsed by the
National Grange

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 90
Strict Americanism, an orderly Gov
ernment and concerted effort to
reduce the cost of living were en-
dorsed by the National Grange,
which also went on record as op-
posing Government ownership and
universal military training.
The action was taken yesterday
through acceptance of a declaration
of principles submitted by the reso-
lutions committee of the convention.
In recording itself against univer-
sal military service, the Grange
points to Americas part in the World
War as another demonstration of
the invincible character of a citizen
army when equipped with justice
and Americanism."
