4 There is no other class of employment where each individual worker is so isolated and in whose districts there is such a lack of opportunity for social intercourse and enjoyment The con- dition of the miner and his family is such that he is practically deprived not only of sunshine and fresh air but < to certain extent he is deprived of the association and, companionshiD of all other human beings outside of his own particular class. who are them selves engaged in the dangerous and unhealthy occupat tion of coal mining. The miners suffer more than any other workers from periods of compulsory employment. Authentic statistics show that the miners have less than 200 days of employment during each year. The wages of the miners conse- quently. having to spread over the en- 1 tire year. are greatly reduced as a re- i suit of the non employment existing 1 in that industry
 ''The high cost of living has pre- 1 sented itself in perhaps a more seri- ous form in isolated mining camps than in large industrial centers There
 is usually not the same opportunity
 for the miners in the mining camps tc
 make their purchases to such advan-
 tage as is presented in other localities Their isolation prevents this.

Pressure in Senate
 For Action on Treaty
Republican Leaders are Pre-
 pared to Propose Cloiture to Curtail Discussion.

WaShlngton, Oct. 9.-Approach Of the end of the special session of con gress found leaders still uncertain to- night regarding the future with events dependent on the disposition of the peace treaty.
 With members restive and insistent on a brief rest before the regular De cember session begins, three weeks from tomorrow, pressure for final ac- ton by the senate on the treaty has increased. Some leaders believe the final vote on the treaty and adjourn ment may be reached next Saturday, Nov IS; others are predicting adjourn ment about Nov. 9. and others less optimistic have visions of the lapsing of the special into the regular session.
 Struggle with treaty reservations VIII be renewed in the senate tomor- row. with the sharpest contest on the reservation relating to Article Ten of the league OF nations covenant. The usual week end and Sunday confer ences by both factions apparently de- veloped little change in programs. Republican leaders were reported pre- pared to propose cloture to curtail pro- tracted discussion with assurances of democratic3 co-operation.
 An unprecedented parliamentary l battle over the effect of votes on res- olutions of ratification is expected to follow disposition of reservations. Vice I President Marshall is understo odto be ready to rule that two-thirds ma i jority must be had either to adopt or reject the treaty and that bare ma = Jority can send it back to the foreign relations committee or the president On this ruling and it's approval or re- i jectfon, in the opinion of many, de- bends the final result.
 While the senate is struggling in the Hast throes of the treaty fight. the
 house plans to pass the railroad bil which is to be reported formally to.
 morrow by the interstate commerce committee. taken up for consideration
 Tuesday and passed late this week.
 If possible the railroad measure will come before the senate during tht present session. but it is conceded gen
 orally that the permanent legislatio,
 must go over until next session. 4
