paper" and allied peoples who had fought
for the cause Of freedom. He contended
that Germany and Austria, with whom,
he said the allied nations are still at
war, should not be admitted until the
close Of the conference and maintained
| that such was the view Of the French
Senate and Of Leon Bourgeois. French
| representative to the League OF Nations.
Sharp opposition to this view was ex-
pressed by Leon Jouhaux. French labor
delegate. who said the war was at an
end and that Germany must be admitted
in the new regime"
l Belgian Delegates Reluctant.

delegates asked to be recorded as voting

ditions forced" them to do 50 and Jules

President Wilson's appeal that the ma
uon-Wde strike of bituminOus coal
miners ordered for Nov. t. be called off.
with bur 60 hours left before the time
for stoppago of production Of the ma.
tons fuel supply, the meeting assumes
the character Of the most Wcighty one
yet held in connection with the miners
demands for siX.hour day, a five.day
week and 60 per cent increase in
wages. out Of it probably will come
the final word of the miners on the
situation.

source, It will be impossible to provide
an adequate supply for even a short
