CITE PRECEDENTS
FOR PIGEONHOLlNG

Washington, Nov. IS. - Presi-
dent Wilson's advisers assert he
has plenty of precedent for his
intended action in pigeonholing
the Treaty of Peace with Ger
many If it does not satisfy him
when it comes from the Senate.
One of the most notable occas-
ions on which this was done, they
said, was when President Taft
Rigeonholed h arbitration
treaties that the Senate had so
radically amended as to make
unacceptable to him.
John Bassett Moore in his In
ternational Law Digest appears to
take the stand that either COM
ponent part of the Treaty making
power - the Senate or the Presi-
dent - has the right to withhold
its consent to the form of the
Treaty and thereby possibly de-
feat it.
Henry Clay when Secretary of
State said in reference of the CO.
ordinate power of the Senate and
the President;
Each of the two branches of
the Treaty making authority is
independent OF the other, while
both are responsible to the States
and to the people, the common
sources of their respective
powers. 1t results from this or
ganization that in the progress
of the Government instances may
som etir1es occur of a difference
of opinion between the Senate and
the Executive as TO the exped-
iency of a projected Treaty"

CONFERENCE ON
| COAL CONTINUES
AT STANDSTILL
Operators Again Obtain Post
ponement of Joint Scale
Committee Meeting
MINERS WILL GET RAISE
But Owners Are Considering
Carefully Where Money
Is to Come From

Washington, Nov. IS. - Negotia-
tions between bituminous coal min
ers and operators in the central COM
petitive field continued at stand
still to-day, the operators again oh
tanning postponement of the joint
on the ground that their counter
proposal had not been completed.
To Grant Increase
The operat ors were said to be con-
sidering very carefully where the
money to pay wage increases would
come from, and the possible effect
the granting of the workers de-
mands might have on the future con-
troll of the. mines. Assurances will
be sought from several government
departments before reply is made
to the miners demands for increas-
ed wages and shorter hours.
Persistent rumors that the op-
orators had asked for a conference
with Fuel Administrator Garfield to
learn how much of an increase in
the cost of production due to wage
advances could be passed on to the
consuming public, were denied again
to-day by DR.. Garfield.
The possibility of Federal con-
troll of the mines in case of popular
disapproVal of higher prices of coal
was said to be receiving the close at
tention of operators.
That the operators would offer some
increases was taken as a foregone
conclusion.
Both sides spent yesterday in con-
tinued preparation for the negotia-
tions, joint meetings being called off.
The operators gave out reports and
statistics to show that very generally
over the United States the strike was
still in force, in spite of the Federal
Court injunction for it's cancellation.
Acting President Lewis, of the mine
workers, however. said that every
legal obligation" of the miners had
been discharged.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, called
back to Washington by the crisis,
took no actual part in the procedure,
though remaining in close touch with
the situation.

cileable Republicans are expected to
vote against any kind of ratification.
II Will take only thirty-two votes to
cut off the two-thirds necessary to
ratify. The Democrats say there is
little chance, therefore, that the
President will be put to the neces-
sity of dealing at all with any ratifi-
cation embodying the reservations
which he regards as a rejection of
the Treaty.
OF the many reservations proposed
by individual senators and still pend
ing, the leaders on both sides agree
that very few will be accepted by
the Senate. The thirteen committee
reservations already adopted, to-
gether with one relating to the la
Dor provisions and one to voting
equality in the League are expected
to about tell the story of Senate
qualifications.

committee program which were re-
jected vest erday never had been

of the proposals would have declar-
States to assume any responsibility

l1shment of the mandatory system
The vote on the proposal was 64 to
