INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
NOT TO Be WITHDRAWN

Washington, Nov. 5.--0rganized
labor's proposal for ending the coal
strike through withdrawal of injunc-
tion proceedings against officers Of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, was rejected today by the depart
ment Of justice. The government
answer to the union suggestion, ad-
vanced by Samuel GOmpers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
was given by Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Ames, who declared the strike in
itself was violation Of law and that
as long as it continued the only place
to fight 1t out was in court.
Labor leaders, visibly disturbed by
this refusal, agreed with the opera
tors'on one important point-that the
statement Of the governments posi-
tion swept away all hope Of immed-
late settlement Of the strike involving
more than 100000 soft coal miners
in 20 states.
The restraining order issued by
Federal Judge Anderson, at Indian
apolis last week was made returnable
on Saturday. Counsel for the miners
will 90 into court that day and ask
for dismissal Of all proceedings.
One Of two things will happen:
The court, according to officials
here, either will grant the plea Of
the miners or issue a permanent in
junction, carrying with it a manda-
tory order to John L. Lewis, acting
president of the miners organization
to call off the strike.
Whatever the court does, it in it.
self is expected to be the next i'm
portant move bearing on the ques-
tion Of settling the strike.
Representatives Of the miners and
other labor leaders emphasized to-
| day that withdrawal of court pro-
ceedings would bring peace to the
coal fields within forty-eight hours.
Lewis statement that the miners
would be willing to negotiate a new
wage agreement without reserva-
tions,' meant they said, THAT the
slate would be wiped clean, and de-
mands for five day week and a six
hour day, together with sixty per
cent wage increase, withdrawn. But
labor leaders declared there was no
hope Of miners returning to work
in a body until the new wage agree
ment had been ratified.
President Wilson, sick in bed, yet
mindful Of. the serious conditions
confronting the country with a pro-
tracted strike, issued orders giving
fuel administrator Garfield authority
to regulate price, distribution and
shipment Of all fuel, including an
thracite. This action. restored all
powers vested in DR.. Garfield during
the war. The fuel administration
was in conference continually today,
checking up on the coal supply and
arranging with Director General
Hines of the railroad administration
for its distribution where most
needed.

MILITARY TERMS
 ON ARMAMENT
Provide For Control of Hun Equipment
 Indefinitely.

Paris Tuesday, March 18-(By the Associated Press) The military terms of the Treaty of Peace have been amended by the elimination of the clause providing for the control of Germany's armament for an indefi- mite period. Admiral W. S. Benson, of the United States navy, pointed out that the original terms committed the United States to a virtually indefinite occupation of Germany and 1t was chiefly on his insistence that the terms were modified. American dele gates also pointed out that control of any portion of Germany for such a period would delay the return of American troops and would amount to annulling the sovereignty of Ger many.
 As amended, the terms provide for control through the time fixed for the delivery of materials of war, guns and ships. but not through the period during which war damages will be paid by Germany

MYSTERY IN
 KILLING OF
 BANKER'S WIFE

Oakland, Cal, March 19-The kill ing of Mrs. George Greenwood. wife of a banker of this city, by an ex- plosiOn at the Greenwood home here last night remained almost as much mystery today as when MT. Green wood, aroused by the explosion, looked from an upstairs window to see his wife's body in the garden be- low. The police believed they had two slender cIews. consisting of six small pieces of galvanized iron wire removed from the body by surgeons, and the fact that in January, 1918 a letter received by Mr. Greenwood de- manded delivery of S5.0OO at a cer- tain spot under penalty of having his home destroyed by an explosion.
 The letter was signed e. c. of C. which initials also were appended to 8 threatening letter received by Gov. William T. Stephens before the ex ecutive mansion at Sacramento was dynamited a year ago. This led the poi{ce to believe that the same per sons were responsible for both ex- plosions.
 Nothing has been developed today to show whether the explosive was hurled at Mrs. Greenwood. whether she picked it up and it exploded In her hands, or whether she caused the detOnation by stum bling over ir.

 signing of the treaty which it Is hoped, will be accomplished within two weeks, said Lord Robert Cecil of Great Britain, talking to British and American newspaper correspondents he said that three amendments to the Covenant had been submitted. bus added he was sure there will be no difficulty in meeting all legitimate objections"
 Discussing the Montroe Doctrine and the effect of the League of Ma lions upon 1t. Lord Robert said:
 The Monroe Doctrine is streneth- ened by the League Of Nations Coven- ant because international action will be carried out by the organs of the League. The United States will be represented on each body, and since these bodies are international. Do ac- uon can be taken without the consent Of all No action can be taken bv the League which is opposed by the united States government unless such acton should be against the United States itself. and that would not af feet the Monroe Doctrine.
 IT. on the other hand, the view is that there ought to be a complete and water-ught division between the American continent and' the rest of Uhe world then, no doubt, any action in which America takes part would De an infrin cement of the Monroe Doctrine. For my part, I should re- gard any such doctrine as disastrous | 10 the future of the world. The war | eft the United States in a position | or enormous power. With that giCan- | tic power goes great responsibility to 1 the world at large and to herself The peace of the world is not only a Eu- ropean, but an American interest america cannot afford to say that she has no interest in what goes on Europe.
