insist on both of them doing them
duty. This was the one big develop

over a million organized former

Legion itself is apparently going to
keep out of politics but from the ac-

The outstanding feature of the
Republican Congress on the bonus
question. Congress was practically
told that what the soldiers want
ed was action. In an attempt to
grants and emoluments onto the
shoulders of the soldiers themselves
the Republican majority of Congress
had passed the word that it would
was held and then pass such bene-
fetal legislation for the soldier as
the soldier himself demanded.
The attitude taken at Minneapolis
was that, much as the soldiers might
want some compensation, they re-
sented Congress putting them in the
position of having to ask for it and
stipuate the sum. They did not
seem to appreciate the courtesy of
Congress allowing the ex-soldier tc
become amendicant and make him
ask for what the ex-soldier under
stood 1t was the wish of the people
he should have. Consequently, after
much debate on these points, in
which the delegates spoke out in
the meeting" they approved the
resolution asking for some legisla-
tion on bonus as well as on loan
bill, refusing point blank to name
any sum as Congress hoped they

Bradley, assistant secretary.
This brought the conference up to
the hour of eleven which had been
st fon the conference sermon. This
was preached by Rev. Harry M
North, and was fully up to the
standard to be expected from him.
He swept the preachers off their feet
with strong message of IAN Ade-
quate Gospel Appeal and the Re-
sponse to til Hk appealed for
simple. spirit-directed gospel meth

ers and started a revival right in the
conference room. The bishop took
charge of the service and called on
all the preachers who yearned for a
closer spiritual communion to join
him at the altar. The conference
surged forward as one man until the
aisles were blocked. The scene has
hardly been equalled in the history
of the conference. The bishop led
in a tender prayer, laying every
heart on that of God. The confer

MARKETS
COTTON

New York, Nov. 19.-The cotton
manket was influenced by the break
of yesterday but the selling was less
active and after opening at a decline
of 5 points to an advance, of rs
points the active months soon sold
from 35 to 20 points net higher.
The announcement that a general
freight embargo would be under
taken only as a last resort in order
to conserve the coal supply of the

tor, but there was some Southern

32.75, for March, and reactions fol-
lowed.

WILL FORCE
WAGE AGREEMENT
Government Will Force Min
ers and Operators to Come
to Terms and
OPERATE COAL MINE:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The
government stepped to the front
today to force miners and operator
to negotiate a new wage agreement
and resume work III the bltum1nous
fields before the country is in the
grip of a coal fa2,ine.
Clothed with all of his wartime
powers as fuel administrator and act
ing by direct authority of the Pres
idents cabinet, Dr. Harry A Gar
field called a joint meeting of scale
committees at which he was expect
ed to give formal notice that the
time had come to resume miningg op
erations on a normal scale.
While the joint conference was
set for this afternono. DIR. Garfield
found that full attendance could
not be obtained, so it went over un-
il tomorrow. Meanwhile word was
passed that the strike situation had
reached that point where action
was regarded by Federal authorities
as absolutely imperative.
There was no evidence as pre-
sented to the cabinet that the scale
committees. called here last week.
to negotiate a new wage scale agree
ment, had made the least headway.
Reports from the central competitive
fields embracing the states of Him
ois, Indiana, Ohio, and Western
Pennsylvania, stponghoids of the
UnitedMine Workers of America,
showed all mines shut down and
not enough coal coming from non
union plants in other states to meet
the normal demands by several
million tons.
Other reports from widely separat
!. ed sections brought the same story O
a rapidly vanishing coal supply, with
indications that hundreds of indus
trial plants would be forced to close
shortly unless coal production was
put back at normal. In the view OF
i many officials the situation was
critical enough to demand drastic
action.
! Although he would not discuss
1 the nature of the statement he
was prepared to lay before the op
orators and miners it was said OF
high authority that DR.. Garfield wa
prepared to presetn the situation
! forcibly to the chief representative
! of the mine owners and mine work
=! ers. There was no intimation as
what direction government action
would take in case ire deadlock con
i tinued.
! Steps taken by Kansas to operat'
the mines under government author
ity and fear by both sides that 9th
er States would do likewise, wer,
upged as a srong reason for quicl
settlement of all wage disputes.

Sound Sense at the Reconstruction
Conference.

The representatives of forty three
States and 100 cities who convened in
Washington on Monday to discuss la
Dor problems after the war were not
downcast or gloomy. Some of them,
coming from communities like Ari-
IONA and West Virginia which have
peculiar problems to solve, were less
cheerful than others. but generally
their reports were encouraging In
stead of having abnormal numbers Of
unemployed workers to provide for,
most of them reported that Jobs were
going begging in their Jurisdictions.
Employers are not trying to reduce
wages, but are seeking business that
will keep wages up and workers on
their payrolls. Florida can give work
to all who apply, If they are of the
right kind. Governor CATS said:
we need labor. We ~cM.d use,
sir, 100000 laborers in the truck

New York's Dependent Aliens.
There are 10000 aliens in New Y

There are 10000 aliens in New York
State who are public charges and
for whose care the State has to pay.
OF them 6,O00 are liable to deporta-
ton and the State authorities are
arranging as rapidly as possible for
their removal to the places from
which they came.
The Federal Government does not
treat the States fairly in regard to

to enter the country, but in most cases
when their mental or physical weak

account considerably more than two

Self-determination for the vanquished,
Not the XIctors.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: More
than 75 per cent of the population Of
Ireland have registered through their
ballots recently their vote for self-de-
termination. It is reported in the press
that both President Wilson and EXPIRES
ident Taft have declared that self
determination for ireland Is a question
not for the Peace Conference but Great
Britain to settle. Apparently the van
pushed, not the victors. should submit
to the self-determination OF the little
natlopalities within their keeping.
Poland was shamefuly parcelled out a
century and a quarter ago among Rus
STA, Austria and Germany. Now she is
to be granted self-determination and
set UP by the Peace Conference as a
buffer state.
ireland was seized by England six
centuries ago, and, according to Glad
stones speech when introducing the
home rule bill in 1886. has been shame
fully treated by England. and despite
her incessant demands to be permitted
to develop her God-given gifts and pow
ers and live her life as an Irish nation
she Is to be denied this in the name of
the larger (?) freedom OF mankind be-
cause It suits British extension OF power.
What hypocrisy! And It is for this
that millions Of Irishmen in the Eng
lish. American. Australian and Canadian
armies gave up their lives in the late
war! What We need is a League Of
Justice. not of nations

A Surprise at Yale.

1t Is not too much 10 say that the
men of light and leading among the
alumni Of Yale University have been
shocked no less than they have been
surprised by the views recently ex-
pressed by President HApLEY in ref
erence to the educational reorganiza-
ton at New Haven which mas become
necessary as one of the Indirect re-
suits of the war.
The compensation of the members
of the faculty, notably the pay of the
assistant professors. has become in
adequate. The natural and obvious
remedy would be TO raise their sala-
ries; and II the college finances do
not now permit this to be done, to
appeal to the great body of Yale grad
yates throughout the country TO re-
plenlsh the treasury of the university
for that purpose. President HADLEY,
however, thinks differently. THE
pleasure Of work in place like Yale"
he says. Twill make our faculty con.
tent with half the pay they have
elsewhere"
Nevertheless, he comedies that the
instructors and assistant professors
cannot keep the wolf from tho door
unless they are able to supplement
their salaries by outside work in va
cation. IAN assistant professor who
