REPUBLICANS MAP
 OUT PLANS FOR THE
 COMING CAMP PA|GN
Party's National Leaders Were Present to Give
 Counsel Regarding Or
 ganization and Policies
By Associated Pvss

Washington, December 11-Pians
 fer the 1920 campaign were dis
 cussed at a meeting here today of
 the National Associstion of Repub-
 hcan State Chairmcn. at which
 many. of the party's national iead-
 CTS were present to give counsel
 regarding organization and poii-
 c4es.
 No formal action was taken, but many problems common to all of the states were threshed over and plans were made to maintain throughout the campaign a we'll organized connection between the various state organiza- tions and the national committee.
 The meeting. which concluded the series of conferences which had brought several hundred republican leaders here. was held while prelim- mary arrangements were in progress for the 1920 national convention, which the national committee voted yester- day to hold in Chicago, June s. The formal call for the convention was is- sued and those in charge of arrange ments started the big task of allottins tickets and providing facilities.
 One decision calculated to further close relations between the state and national organizations contemplates the reservation of places In the con- vcntion hall for all of the state chair men. for the heads of the women's di- vision in each state and for two repre- sentatives, a man and a woman, for every state committee on ways and m cans. The formal call sent out to- night by Chairman Hays lays down the new apportionment of state repre- sentation as announced yesterday and provides that all delegates and alter mates must be chosen mot earlier than 30 days after the date of this call and not later than 30 days before the date of the meeting of such republican na- tional convention unless otherwise provided by the laws of the state in which the election occurs.''
 A. T. Hert of Kentucky. head of the committee. said they will probably meet in Chicago early in January to consider details of its work. He predicted that the conven- ton would be the largest ever assem- bled by any party.
 possibilities were active among the assembled leaders until the last of them had left for their homes late to- night Each of the managers in charge of these pre-convention cam paigns wound up his canvass here with claim that his candidate had gained by the jockeying of the last few days.
 All the Illinois republicans in Con- gross. at a meeting tonight. joined in a statement presenting and indorsing Governor Lowden for the presidential nomination.

FINANCIAL CIRCLES
 GRAVELY WORRIED
 AT EXCHANGE RATES
Federal Reserve Bank An. nounces An Advance of One-FOurth of One Per
 cent on Interest and
 RediscOunt Rates

New York. DeeesAber 11.-TAe
 stock market was visibly affected
 and financial circles were sravely
 worried today by another violent
 decline in exchange rates.
 International bankers expressed their Encouragement at the situation, and declared that unless remedial measures are soon forthcoming serious curtail- ment of this country's exports will in- evitably result.
 British remittances or demand bills on London fell to s5.67A to the pound sterling. against the norman or pre-war rate of $4.S5ss. This is an overnight loss of g cents and represents a dis count of almost 25 per cent on what for generations has been regarded as the basis of international exchange.
 Other foreign rates were very unset tied. The Italian lire, however was the only other foreign rate to establish new minimum.
 The lira, ordinarily wopth about 20K cents in this market. dwindled to where it required 13% lire to purchase an American dollar.
 To safeguard the local monetary sit uation the federal reserve bank an nounced at the close of the stock mar ket an advance of A of l per cent on interest and rediscount rates. This step was taken despite the fact that last weeks bank statement deported a substantial decrease in loans and dis counts. which indicated further reduc- tion of funds for speculative purposes.

 One of the greatest of our allies feel that they cannot go through with us to the end in this process of re- construction.
 T am not going to criticize, because think it out of place to criticize any foreign power. But it would be a very poor compliment to my American friends to say that We regarded with indifference the fact that they have not seen their way to carry their own international reconstruction to the end"
 Mir Balfour described the part Amer lea played in the war as noble and disinterested. with no thought of na : tional ambition.

Men close to the fuel administration understand that he believes that the work of the commission authorized under the settlement to be made up of one coal mine operator, a coal miner and third nerson named to represent the pub lie will result in an increase in the price of coal to the consuming public. Against this form of settlement Dr. Garfield has been unalterably opposed It has leen learned on good authority that he took no part in the negotiations with the mine workers union chiefs during the last week, and that though informed and consulted after their initiation, the terms laid out as finally accepted contravene has conception of the main principle in- volved.
 It was recalled in connection with the resignation that, in suggesting IA per cent wage increase as fair for the miners and possible to be paid from present profits of mine owners, pr. Garfield sug- gested commission representative of the industry to review the findings, but ex- pressed the conviction that such body should not have power to fix prices. His belief is said to be that with this power granted a combination of the employer
 
 public by price raises is certain to result. WILL WILSON ACCEPT?
 Whether the President will accept the resignation is not known Members of the cabinet, however, are known to De sup- porting the settlement programme as put through by Attorney General Palmer. President Wilson today sent telegram of congratulation to Acting President Jchn L. Lewis of the mine workers on the action taken at Indianapolis
 Coal mine operators authorized to rep resent practically the entire industry were still in Washington tonight await ing an official notification of the settle ment basis. There was considerable doubt individually and difference of opin- ion. but no meetings were held to formu-. late definite decisions of policy, and none would be, il was said, until the government call came. All were inter ested in hearing from home as to the action. of the miners locals upon the union order calling off the strike, put received little information.
 Only one minor change in coal saving orders came today from the railroad ad- ninistration, allowing retail stores to re- main open nine instead of six hours on Saturday.
 wcll-informed officials hold the opinion that many of the restrictions now ordered will have to remain effective until about January 2oS. even should the miners go back at once in body.
 The war finance corporation was called into a. discussion today of methods of financing mines whose product is not promptly paid for under existing systems of distribution, and which may not be able to continue operation without aid. Plans for granting relief were considered
