He has only recently returned from
Paris. where he has spent many
months as the representative of the
United States on the supreme economic

chairman of the war trade board in
1917. He is the publisher of two

my experience as member of the
supreme economic council in Paris has
convinced me- said Mr.. Mccormick, "of
the great good that can be accom-
plished by the league of nations when
it is once at work
"In this council we have handled
some tremendous questions and as all
action had to be by unanimous vote.
it was an inspiring thing to see the
way representatives of various nations
can get together when they sit down
over. OF course. there were some
things that we could not do
because unanimous agreement could
not be reached. But even at that the
spirit of the council and the things it
has achieved are the greatest kind of
arguments for the league of nations.
The business of the world is now
waiting on the United States Senate,
Nothing can be done until the treaty
is ratified. Even neutrals can't tel
whether to buy German bonds and
supply the money necessary for Ger
man. to get to work and pay her
debts. Our own business is in a tur-
moil. And it is all because of the I'M
certainty caused by the Senate ac-
ton.

they are beginning to get worried and

willing to see reservations creep m
This should not be, and the people of
the country should be made to see :he
situation in the right way, because
there will be endless confusion Of

Mr.. Mccormick was strong in his
arguments for the ending of the OBJ

that unless ratified without resersa-

nations to think possibly the same
way and say to each other. IF Amer

result would be a worldwide debate"

OFFICIALS OF MINE
WORKERS LEAVE
FOR CONFERENCE
No Change Reported in the
Mining Situation Here.
Miners Hold Meetings,
But No Action Taken

]. r. Kennamer, president Of district
No. 20, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, and George Hargrove, international
organizer, left Birmingham yesterday for
Indianapolis to attend the conference
called by John L. Lewis, national presi-
dent.
The meeting which the two men will
attend in Indianapolis today at 10 a. m.
was called Saturday by President Lewis
and representatives from all the mine dis
tricts in the United States will be pres
ent. Consideration of the mandatory writ
Of injunction issued by the federal court
in Indianapolis was the cause stated
in the telegram from President Lewis for
calling the conference.
In conjunction with the leaving of the
two representa- tives from this district
several mass meetings in districts around
Birmingham were held yesterday by the
miners The injunction was the prln-
cipal subject yesterday, bath at the meet
ings and among the miners, and the out
come of the writ issued by Judge An
derson at Indianapolis, was discussed
pro and con in all circles.
Both sides in the local district are still
confident of victory The figures claimed
by the union leaders, who stated that
$1,000 men had quit at the beginning of
the strike, are still adhered to, while the
operators in the district state that 50 per
cent of the men are on the job. and that
the production of coal has been about 90
per cent of normal with steady slight
increase.
George Hargrove, national organizer,
before leaving for Indianapolis, reiter-
ated the claim that where the operators
had stated that 81 mines were in opera
ton, some had only a few men at work
and some in particular had only two or
three men on the job.
Edgewater, Docina, Bayview, Mulga
and Dolomite, according to information,
received from the operators, were oper-
ating with a fun force, and together with
Sipsey these six mines were turning out
the average production.
Both sides are awaiting the outcome of
the conference in the Indiana city to-
day. Several mass meetings are expected
to be held by the miners today, who are
waiting on reports from the conference
of their leaders.
