WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-Hope for
speedy action on the peace treaty
frightened up again today when the
senate voted down one amendment,
agreed to dispose of two more tomor-

methods to hasten consideration of res

however was the possibility of an

reconcilable enemies, who have init.
mated more than once that they were
mindful of the opportunity which
might be presented to talk of a final
roil call until the session of congress
ends early i'm December.
Altogether the situation still was a
doubtful one, but republican and dem
pcratic managers seemed confident
that 1t soon would clear While debate
continued today they held many con-
ferences and found agreement every
where except among the irreconcil-
ables. IL was said to bring every pos
sible pressure to bear for early action.

Labor Leader Declares In

Wrong and Gross Blunder
Withdrawal Woul d
Lead to Negotiations ..

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. = With
drawal of the Injunction obtained by
the government will open the way for
settlement of the coal strike, Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared in a
statement tonight.
Charging that the injunction was a
grave wrong and a gross blunder, Mr.
Gompers said if it. was. vacated and
miners and operators invited to fur
ther conference by the department OF
labor, he had "an abiding faith that
mutually honorable adjustment could
be effected and negotiated whereby
the coal strike can be brought to an
end"
Mr.. Gompers statement was issued
after his return here from New York
and in response TO numerous requests
for an expression as to chances OF
bringing the strike to a speedy end.
The statement follows:
Gompers Issues Statement
Representative of neWspaper
have asked me for. a statement regard
ing the coal strike and the situation
In the first instance, it should be
known that the demand of the miners
which upon the surface seem SO radi-
cal and far-reaching, are by no means
so. For several years the miners have
not had more than half years work
their working days averaging from 16t
to $50 days per year; intermittent, by
days and weeks--employment au(
then unemployment. The miners asl
for regulation, of the working tint
so that coal production and employ
ment may be regular rather than in
termittent. If the miners were per
mitted by the operators to work ftIl
time, the supply of coal thus mine'
would soon force down the price o
coal on the market, and this the op
orators are determined not to permit

COAL SHORTAGE
IS EVIDENT AS
STRIKE RESULT
Montana Most Seriously Af-
fected = Billings School
Close Because OF Lack of
Fuel = Both Miners And
Operators Remain Firm
Both Sides Willing To
Negotiate
[Repubiican A. p. leased wirel

CHICAGO, Nov. AT the end Of
the fourth day OF the soft coal strike
that has closed nearly all union mines
in the country and largely stopped
production with about 425.0e0 miners
idle there had been no break or weak
ening on the part OF either the miners
or the operators.
Ihere were indications that each
side was willing to negotiate but each
seemed determined that the other
should surrender some point before
diplomatic relations should be re-
sumed. The chiefs of organized labor.
particularly Samuel Gompers, sug-
gested that the government should dis
solve the Injunction against, the mine
workers officials and that such a
move would indicate that the way was
open to peace. The mine operators
maintained their attitude that the
strike must be called off before nego-
tiations could be opened. John l.
Lewis, acting head of the miners or
ganization, said the negotiations could
start any time
While miners and operators re-
mained idle and the mines stood de-
serted except for such men as the
unions allowed to remain in the shafts
and upper works to care for machinery
the public in some sections had begun
to feel the effect of the strike in q
serious measure.
Montana was especially distressed
the strike having closed schools in
Billings. while descriptions of the sit
uation in the state indicated that many
householders were on the verge of suf-
fering Coal bins Of many homes were
empty. dispatches said, and many
farmers in the dry farming regions
were without fuel. Three branches OF
the state university at Dillon may have
to close shortly. Officials were con
sidering the question of taking severa
