FEAR COAL FAMINE
In FRENCH STRIKE
Labor Issues Worry Big Four,
Who Hasten Work to Pre-
vent Upheaval.


PARIS, June 1.-THE labor situation
in France has assumed a more menacing
aspect through the decision of the
miners to continue their strike. France
now faces the peril Of a coal famine
The output In March was 100000 tons
ago. The mine teup means the Grip
plins OF the railroads. whether the
transport men strike or not as well
as most other industries
The passing of the labor issues from
an economic to an admittedly political
phase gives intense concern to the au-
thorities. This anxiety is apparent even
among the Big Four. who are Fastening
to prevent a general upheaval
Four countries are deeply interested
In the work of the Socialist confer
ence, which meets Saturday to pass upon
the proposal for n general strike In
France, Great Britain, Belgium ana
Italy. It has developed that Ramsay
Macdonald, the British labor leader, at
tended the conferences in Rome and
Bern. which considered a twenty-four
hour strike as a mark of sympathy for
the Soviet Governments. 1t Is gener-
ally considered here that the twenty
four hour strike was ordered to last
longer as far as France is concerned.
Hope lies in the belief that the army
generally is not in sympathy with the
strikers revolutionary movement. The
, soldiers are said to suspect that the
plan Is designed to enable the Germans
to escape the penalty of their crimes. II
the hotheads produce disorder they will
find the Government prepared to resist
with force.

Of the revised League of Nations cove

League for the Preservation of Ameri-

new declaration of principles.
In it are summed up succinctly the
many objections to the Intervening of
the two documents as well as the de-
tailed objections to the revised League
of Nations covenant. The declaration
follows
II. We insist that all attempts to in
terweave the League Of Nations cove

resisted; that the early return Of our
boys should be made possible by prompt
action upon the treaty, and that the
proposed covenant of the League of Ma
lions as a separate proposition should

due elaboration and care and with rea-
sonable opportunity for needed amend

I'll No matter how wise and disinter-
ested the diplomats may be who have
framed the proposed legislation the peo-
pie Of the United States must do some
independent thinking on this subject oil

ment democracy.
Twelve Objections Cited.

opposed to the covenant Of the league

First. Its trainers have definitely

voting trust of nine nations dominated

Third. Without first requiring ma
items to commit themselves to a definit

nations from aggression and will fore,

two league members either to default OF
