SENATOR COLT
IS OPPOSED TO
TREATY CHANGES
Declares That the Amend
lnents Would Defeat
Whole Peace Move.
JOHNSON CHANGE UNFAIR

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-AdoptiOn
of texual amendments would mean de-
feat of the peace treaty and would ac-
complish no practical results that
could not be brought about by reserya-
tions, the senate was told today by
Senator Colt, Republican, of Rhode
Island, referring to the shantuns
amendment and that proposed to
equalize the voting power in the
League of Nations.
The Rhode Island senator declared
they would reopen the peace negotia-
tions while reservations would leave
the treaty intact, and would change its
provisions only for the reserTing
nation.
1t would be unfair to increase the
voting power of the United States as
proposed in the amendment of Senator
johnson, Republican, California, and
leave the other first class powers with
only one vote in the assembly, he
said.

OUTLYING FIELDS
TELL WILSON THEY
ARE ORGANIZED
Wire Sent Today to U. S.
Labor Secretary By
Kansas City Man.

Advices were sent today to secre-
tary of Labor Wilson by the coal op-
orators of the Falrmont and other
fields comprised in the outlying or
ganized districts, staung that these
regions now have been formed into an
organization, and are in a position to
discuss general labor demands. The
point is made in the wire sent by F.
w. Lukens, of Kansas City, the chair
man, that the outlying organized dis
tricts, produce approximately two
thirds of the bituminous coal of this
country.
At a gathering held in Washington,
D. c., last week sub committee COM
posed of F. w. Lukens, Kansas City,
chairman; E. E. Drennen, Elkins, w.
Va, secretary; D. F. Cushing, Des
Moines, la, and D. S. Hanley, Seattle,
Wash, was appointed to present the
resolutions passed by the operators of
the outlying organized districts to
the general committee of the opera
tors of the central competitive states,
who were in conference in Philadel-
phia with the representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America,
So far the sub committee Of the out
lying organized districts has served in
an advisory capacity, but the commit
tee is created to procure proper rep
resentation for these interests at any
conference where labor matters might
be brought up.

Military Situation i'll Rus

Rapid Changes.

Today's developments from Russia
are of an extremely discouraging char
acter for the Bolsheviki regime
Gen. Demkine, whose forces are ad-
vancing on a front of about 45O miles
through Central Russia has in the
center captured orel, only 28S miles
from Moscow and the most important
railroad center south.
The northwestern army Of General
Yudenitch, also operating on broad
front, is reported to have smashed
through the Bolshevih lines west anC
southwest of St Petersburg and to be
within so to rs miles of Petrograd ali
along the front.
Meanwhile Golshak's Siberian arm
les are improving their advantage
along the Tobol river and are now
within a few miles of the boundaries
of European Russia, from which they
we're driven by the recent successful
Bolshevikt offensive.
Riga is apparently held firmly for
the time being by the Let's, who with
Esthonian assistance, checked the sue
cessful onslaught of the German ar
tiIlery and have for four days been
able to prevent them crossing the
Duna into Riga.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct To-
John L. Lewis, acting president Of the
United Mine Workers Of America, who
returned to the union headquarters
here today, from the joint wage con-
ference with the mine operators, when
it failed to reach an agreement at Phil
adelphia, said he would consider the
invitation of Secretary of Labor VIII
son to meet him in Washington Thurs
day, before making a reply. Mean
while the work of drafting the order,
calling all bituminous coal miners to
20 on strike November was being
continued at the union headquarters
here, 1t was said.
Mr.. Lewis received the message
from Secretary Wilson late today. 1t
follows;
aSection eight of the law creating
the department Of labor provides that
the secretary Of labor shall have the
power to act as mediator and to ap-
point commissioners Of conciliahon in
labor disputes wherever in his judgl
meut the interests Of industrial peace
may require 1t to be done. l have
been much disturbed by the reports to
the effect that the operators and
miners have failed to reach an agree
men. and have adjourned without
making arrangements for further con-
ference and that strike is therefore
likely to take place in the bituminius
coal fields Of the United States on the
first day of November. AS the execu-
tive Of the government intrusted with
the responsibility Of mediation would
Ike to have you meet me in the office
OF the secretary of labor at Washing

October 16, for the purpose of consid-
efing the situation as it exists in the
bituminous coal fields. / would re-
spectflIly request that no strike order
be issued until after l have had an
opportunity Of conference with you.
have also. asked Mr.. Brewster, presi-
denttof the Coal Operators Associa-
ton to meet me at the same time and
place"
While work on the strike order was
continued, it probably will not be made
public for day or two, as 1t was stat
ed that nothing would be given out
until the order had been printed and
mailed to the four thousand local
unions in the country.
