LODGE OF IRON WORKERS
 NOT PERMITTED TO MEET

Pittsburgh. Pa... Nov. 3.-Mayor E. V. Babcock and other Pittsburgh city officers were within their constitu- tional rights in refusing to permit a meeting of a lodge of the Amalgamat- ed Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, in the steel strike zone, ac- cording to a decision handed down here today in common pleas court by Judge John D. Shafer and Judge Thomas j. Ford
 Tt is the duty of the mayor and of the police department" said the de- cisioi, ito preserve the peace, and It must sometimes be necessary for that purpose to prevent the congregation in one place 0f large numbers of peo- pie such as might get beyond control of the police department. and it must be left to the reasonable discretion of the officers charged with keeping the peace when such intervention is to be made.
 "Tf the meeting in question had been a bona fide meeting of an organ ized lodge which had been heretofore meeting at that place, and if the at tendance had been confined to mem bers of the lodge and those who had business with it. it would take very strong circumstances to justify the prevention of such meeting. But in this case the number of people who attempted to attend the meeting was such as to indicate very plainly that whatever it might be named it would have been in fact mass meeting"
 Deputy sheriffs who have beer guarding the residences of Judge Sha- fer and Judge Ford were withdrawn late today

HEARTILY RECEIVED BY THE
 CHINESE GOVERNMENT

Picking. Teesday, Oct. 2S.-(By The A. P.)-Former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, who is visiting in China, has been aciorded hearty re- ception by the Chinese government. The presiding officers and representa- tive members of both houses of the Chinese parliament rendered him a re- ception October 26. at which ex-Sen- ator Burton spoke. He stated that re- gently the interest of the United States in China had been vastly sn- creased and tlIaS Americans aers looking the Orient with the convic- ton that their relations with this DOT tion of the earth were sure in the fu- ur-e to assume, far greater importance than in the past.
 The hopes which Americans cherish ed for China, he continued, are for a united country and for order and efficitncy in government establish ed throughout the land. Improved means of transportation by water ways, highways and railroads are al- so urgently needed.
 Looking to the more remote fu- ture," said Senator Burton, "it seems to us that a more helpful distribution of the population of China would be accomplished by emigration from con- gested districts in the republic to those less densely populated. America has always contended for the open door in the Orient. With equal earnest ness we insist that repeated promises by other nations for the maintenance of the political integrity of China shall be observed

QUIET IN COAL FIELDS
 OF WEST VIRGINIA

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 3.-The third d&y of the miners strike passed quietly in the coal fields of West 4 ir- ginia. While the non-unI~A mnies were reported by the operators to be increasing their production no att tempt was being made to open the union mines.
 c. F. Keeney, president of district No. IT, United Mine Workers. late to- day made public letter which he had sent to Governor Cornwell. In this letter, he said that the miners had beliefs and suspicious" that the governor was not dealing openly and above board with them as the repre- sentative of the people should deal.'
 MT. Keeney charged that there was a move now being planned and ex- ecuted by certain operators through T. L Lewis, to create dissension among the striking miners of this district by bringing to their attention insidious and cleverly worded statements and anoucements creating the impressions that the officers Of, district Number r, fcontinued On Page 3, 3rd colurnnl

SUCCESS OF NATIONAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT PREVENTION DRIVE

New York. Nov. 3.-Many human lives were saved and hundreds of in- juries avoided through the National Railroad Accident Prevention Drive prosecuted by safety section of the United States Railroad Administra- tion on all lines from October 18th to S1st, official reports show.
 In the eastern region. of which A. T. Hardin is director and Rufus Jar nagin, safety supervisor. during the first eight days of the mo accident drive" the total casualties were PTS, as compared to 66o casualties in the corresponding period of eight days last year. In the eastern region trans portation conditions present extraordi- narily difficult problems and unusual hazards. to life and limb. The safety record is made the more impressive by the fact that, with railroad business greatly exceeding that in October 1918, more than 10000 employees have been added to the rolls of the 101 rail- roads in the eastern region in the past twelve months.

GOVERNMENT coNFIScATES 15,oo0
 CARS OF COAL AT PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 3-No less than 15,OO0 cars of coal were on side tracks in the Pittsburgh district to- night, confiscated by the government for use, should the coal strike con tinue, for the operation of railroads and essential industries.
 Union mines generally were closed. in spite of the fact that whistles were blown and the pits open for such of the strikers as desired to return to work.
 Non-union mines held about the same position in the struggle as was expected when the strike was called, 1t being conceded that G-nost of them were in oeration with the usual working forces. There were reorts. however at the headquarters of the United Mine Workers that sevraI i'm portant mins, employing non union la Dor along the Monongahela River had bee compelled to close because nough mn had not reported for duty to war rant their opration. Activities of union leaders were somewhat restricted be- cause of the court proceedings in In dianapoliS, and it was said that they Wire doing nothing to induce non union men to join the movement.
 In a number of communities water and electric companies were begin ming to feel the effect Of the mine suspension, but all such distress was expected to be relieved immediately for the plight of such places was called to the attention of the govern ment.

Washington, Nov. 2.-turther irdf- cations that the peace treaty fight lead to a continuing deadlock develop ed today while the senate leaders were trying in vain to ix definite date for a roll call on ratification.
 Administration senators, suggesting that the final vote be taken this week, indicated purpose to defeat r;lt.ti- cation by combining with | [ treatys irreconcifable opponents siDuld the reservations adopted by the foreign relations committee be written into the ratification resolution.
 Whether the administration forces then could present alterate resolutions under, senate rules was brought into question by the republican leaders, who predicted that if such a resolu- tion got consideration it, too, would be voted down.
 An hour of debate o1 the subject got no where and the senate went back to It's consideration of treaty amendments. It may reach 6 vote tomorrow on motion by Senator La toilette, republican, W>pnsin, to strike out the labor provisions and then, unless some new plSn is devised to hasten action, other amendments and a long list of proposed reserva- tions will be taken up under the te- dious rule of unlimited debate. The administration proposal for a vote this week was presented by Sen ator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the dem ocratic leader, after he had blocked one by Republican Leader Lodge, call ing for a final vote on Nov. 12. A final vote" on that date, declared MT Hitchcock, would mean that the only opportunity for showdown on rettifi- cation must come on resolution

OPERATORS QUOTE LEWIS TO
 REFUTE GoMPERS' STATEMENT

Washington, Nov. 3.-What John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, said at Buffalo in September regarding report that coal production was being reduced in order to maintain prices was quoted today by operators by way of reply to a recent statement bearing on the same subject by Samuel Gompers.
 The executive committee of the bi- luminous coal operators of the com petitive field said Gompers had charged that soft coal operators had "conspired to curtail production" The denial by Lewis was presented to off, set the charge.
 The statement follows:
 Tn recent statement. President Gompers Vice President Vol and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor charged that the bituminous coal operators of the Unit ed States had been copspiring to cur tail production and maintain coal prices to the consumers. In connection with this statement the following ex- cerpts from the official transcript os tie proceedings of the joint confer enee of coal operators and coal miners of the central competitive field, held at Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 29. 1919, are Of public interest:
 Philip Penna. spokesman for the operators at the joint conference, said: "T notice that since coming to this conference the coal miners are report ed to have told the representatives of the press that the operators have been purposely cutting down their produc- tion for the purpose of maintaining prices
 'In reply, John H.. Lewin, acting president of tho United Mine Work CTS of America, said;
 "T want it written into the records that neither in Buffalo or anywhere else have Lever charged the operators with shutting down the mines to maintain coal prices. I would not say such thing, because I do not be- lieve it is true, Neither do l believe that any member of the mine workz CTS delegation would make such | statement, and I am quite sure that no responsible agent of the mine workers in Washington or elsewhere ever made such a statement. On the other hand I have denied it for the operators. denied it to the director general of railroads. MT. Hines; l de- nied 1t to other people who have dis cussed the question when charges by inference and implication were made to that effect before the senate com- mittee and other places in Washing ton.

 If any such statement appeared in Buffalo paper, it was unauthorized unfounded and untrue; it was not giv- en by me, and I am quite sure was not given by any of my associI iItes. We would not do 1t. because I say agaiL we do not believe the operators have done anything of that character"
