ALBANY, Feb. 24.-FolIowing the &C.
ton of the Assembly of last Thursday
the Senate tonight adopted unani-
mously the resolution providing for q
state committee to welcome returning
soldiers to supersede the New York
City Hearst-Hylan committee
The state committee will be headed
by Governor Smith and will include
the elected state officers, the members
Of the state Senate and Assembly, the
judges Of the Court of Appeals, the
New York State delegation in Congress
and the Board Of Regents.
Lieutenant Colonel j. Leslie Kincaid
the fighting judge advocate general
Of the 9th Division, is expected to
reach here tomorrow or Wednesday, on
behalf Of the War Department, to con-
fer with Governor Smith and other
state officials on the plans Of the COM
naittee.s .s.-~..--.a4,--
At this conference the details of the
state committees trip to New York
City to review the soldiers from this
state who fought the Germans and
whose families and friends have been
dcluging the legislative leaders with
requests that a committee of welcome
be created by the state on which
Hearst would have no place.
To-night's adoption of the resolu-
ton by the Senate created the commit
tee, the Assembly having already
acted. 1t was q concurrent resolution
of the Legislature and does not require
the signature of the Governor.
Whether United States Senators
Wadsworth and Calder, and the New
York members of the House Of Repre-
sentatives will meet the rest OF the
state welcoming committee here or
in New York City is not yet decided.
The State Board of Regents, at it's
weekly meeting, took formal action
on the matter and announced that it
would attend with the other members
of the committee.
Futile efforts were made by Hearst
agents to kill the resolution.
The resolution adopted tonight was
introduced by Majority Leader Simon
l.. Adler, of the Assembly. after con-
ferences between Thaddeus c. Sweet,
Speaker of the Assembly; j. Henry
Walters, president pro tenn of the SEN
ate, and the Governor.

Wilson s Challenge to League Critics

BOSTON, Feb. 24.-This qUas President Wilson's DEF
D once to the opponents and critics of the league
ot1ons deuered IN the of has speech IN Mechanics
Hall here to-day:
IF America at this juncture were to fail the
world, what would become of it?
Il ask sweeter challenge than that have

let it have scope. If there challenge this occa-

"America has failed America made a little ESSAY
at generosity and then withdrew.

the united forces of the civilized world. And if we
do not guarantee them cannot you see the pcture?'

''Reds'' Drew Lots
Here to Pick Two
To Murder Wilson
Welcome Home!

r P TO year ago Isidor Alt
man, of 76 Sixteenth Ave
nue., Newark, N. j., sent money
each week to his aged mother in
Russia. Then he was drafted.
Private Altman spent seven
months at Camp Greenleaf, Ga.
He was taken i'll and instead of
going overseas went to a hospital.
A few days ago he was dis
charged.
Before he left New York he
was a baker in a restaurant. The
day he was mustered out he went
back to his old place. He cx-
pected to 60 to work.
"I'm sorry" said the restaur-
ant manager, 81 can't do any
thing for you now. We had to
fill your place and the new man
is all right"
Altman has made many appli-
cations for position as a cook,
but to no avail.
Now he wants a job-he
doesn't care what it is.
The only money he has earned
since leaving the army was paid
him for "helping around" at the
Grand Central Palace base hos
pital. 1t is hardly enough to keep
him alive. And his mother is in
sore want.

Lloyd George
Says Enggl g and
aces Strife
Introduces Bill i'm Commons
to Form Committee to
Investigate Coal Situation

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The United King
dom is faced with the prospect of civil
strife and the House Of Commons
should do everything in its power to
avert it, Premier Lloyd George de-
clared to-day in introducing a bill to
constitute committee to inquire into
the conditions prevailing in the coal
industry
The Premier said he had been ad-
vised that to grant the demands Of
the miners would throw burden of
the most serious sort upon other in
dustriesa burden so serious and so
grave that it might have the effect of
throwing scores, if not hundreds, of
thousands Of persons out of employ
ment, and that it might cripple the
export trade in coal, iron, steel. ma
chinery and shipping.
1t might be, said the Premier, that
the figures the government had were
inaccurate, and that was the reason
for the need of an inquiry.
Commission To Be Named
A commission of inquiry, the Pre-
mier added, would be appointed. The
commission would cover the questions
of wages and hours of work, the cost
of production and distribution Of
coal, the general organization of the
coal fields, profiteering, social condi-
tions and other matters. Justice
Sankey, Of the Kings Bench Division
would be chairman.
The commission would report by
March 81, although the miners asked
for a report by March IS. The Pre-
mier said that strike for sixteen
days under the present conditions
would cause a breakdown of the ma
Jorlty of the industries and the gov
ernment would have to feed the coun-
try with such fuel and supplies as it
had at its disposal. Distress would
fall on every class of the community.
The composition of the commission.
the Premier added, could not be deter
mined until after the miners met on
Wednesday to decide whether thew
would take part in the inquiry.
Serious Turning Point
The Premier said the country had
come to a most serious turning uoint
IN trade and the government hesitated
TO make the concessions asked for bv
the miners without the closest possible
examination.
The allegations of the miners that
the mines could afford the extra bur
den u certain measures were taken to
save waste were legitimate subject for
inquiry, the Premier conceded, but he
would be inclined to doubt whether
economies in this direction could wipe
out the extra eight or ten shllings q
ton which the demands would involve.
The profits of the coilieries through
out the kingdom for five years before
the war had amounted to exactly a
shilling ton and the royalties were
slXpence ton, and even if these were
wiped out, he declared, eight or ten
shillings would be left uncovered.
The Premier agreed that there was
bitter feeling regarding housing, and
this the commission would inquire into,
as we'll as wages, hours of work and
ether matters. He added that any
scheme for the future working of the
coal industry, whether on the present
basis or by joint control or national
i2ation, would also come within the
scope of the committees investigation.
Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out that
the cost Of coal at tho pit mouth in

Guns and Flags Voice
Welcome to President

Here she remained, and it was not
until a. m. that the city took official
notice of her presence. Then the guns
from the warships at the navy yard
spoke twenty-one times, and on every
mast Of every craft in the harbor flags
were broken out.
These hung limp for a little while,
but soon north wind was whipping
the bay to blue and silver and turn
ing the banners into tiny points of
flame. The sun, which Boston had not
seen for several days, was shining
brightly and little clouds were sailing
through clear sky when the city
started out, ut 10 a. M, to bring the
Presidential party ashore.
