SENATE PR0bERS
 CLAIM STRIKES
 ARE 'bARBAR|SMl'
Mediation Board to Avoid Walk. outs, Recommended by Steel
 Committee.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Characteriz- ing all strikes as industrial barbar- ism" and declaring that "there is no place in this country either for in dustrial despotism or labor despot. ism,' the senate committee author ized to investigate the steel strike today presented a report covering it's bearings both in Washington and in Pittsburgh and criticizing both the workers and the employers in the controversy which resulted in at least partial disruption of the steel industry.
 The committees main conclusion, concurred in by all members, was expressed in the statement that "the public has a right to demand that capital shall not arrogate to itself the right to determine in it's own way those industrial questions, and it is the same as to labor, and the duty is upon congress to provide some way of adjusting these difficulties" "
 As a permanent preventive of strikes, which the committee con-' cedes .H"are apparently the only way for labor to secure even it's just demands if employers refuse to grant them," it is recommended that con- gress authorize the establishment of some such mediation agency with we'll defined powers as the recently dissolved war labor board.

REPORT COTTON BELT WILL TAKE
 OFF } LOCALS
Officials Here Say Nothing Definite Has Been Received
 On Change.

Reports, circulated here yesterday that the Cotton Belt planned to take off several local trains, three switch engines, and two passenger trains as the result of the coal shortage, due to the strike of coal mines, was met with the statement at the superin- tendent's office last night that they "had received nothing definite" con- corning the cancellation of any trains.
 Five local trains on this division, three switch engines and passenger trains Nos. and were to be taken off tomorrow. according to the re- ports circulating among railroad men but about which the superintendent's s office had not been advised from St. Louis headouarters.
 In the absence of definite infor- nation, it was presumed that even should any trains be cancelled it would be only in schedules where there are two or more trains each way daily. Doubt was expressed that through passenger trains would be cancelled. as the Cotton Belt is operating only two trains each way daily at this time.
 The statement was made. but not confirmed by officials of the road. that the Cotton Belt has on hand at this time only enough coal to operate trains according to present schedules for 10 days.

Dollar a Pound Given for Cotton;
 85c Also Is Paid

One dollar a pound was re- ceived by w. G. Key from c. c. Wall and company for a bale of cotton, grown from special seed on the Key plantation, nine miles north of Pine Bluff. The sale was effected yesterday, after MT. Key had on Friday refused 90 cents a pound for the cot ton. The cotton, which classes as good middling, 1 1-2-inch staple, is said to be the best brought to Pine Bluff. The manner in which it was picked, ginned and hand led was a factor in the big price it brought. MT. Key plans to plant more of the $1 a pound cotton seed next year.
 Wall and company have pur- chased in the last few days ap- proximately 100 bales, at an average price of about 85 cents a pound, it was stated yester- day. This cotton was purchased from many different growers. It classed as strict middling and good middling, five-sevenths, one-half and better staple.

 WORK THURSDAY
Department of Justice Officials Look for Cancellation of
 Order Monday.
LABOR LEADERS ARE
 GREATLY SURPRISED
They Had Believed That Matters Would Be Taken Out of Court and Settled-Lewis Can Control
 Men, Is Belief.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Federa' Judge Anderson's order to the of ficers of the miners union to with draw their strike order was receiv- ed by national labor leaders here ap- parently with surprise. They had believed the strike could be with drawn from the court and settled outside.
 The courts ruling, however, was accepted without comment, and in the belief that the strikers would be at work not later than Thursday. The statement by officers of the United Mine Workers that they had no desire to fight the government was accepted generally as the feel ing and attitude of the men.
 Department of justice officials said tonight they believed the off cers of the miners organization who called the strike would formally is sue the cancellation notice at their meeting at Indianapolis Monday morning. Announcement by coun- sel for the miners that Acting Pres ident Lewis unquestionably would abide by the courts order indicated, according to most. labor leaders, that the men would return to work when Lewis directed.
 Reports from the mining regions showed little or no change in the general situation, although operators claimed considerable Improvement in some states.

NATIONS RIGHT l, TO QUIT LEAGUE klS SAFECUARDED Senate Adopts Reservation to Pact Providing for This Assurance. SIX DEMOCRATS ARE
 BEHIND REPUBLICANS Mild Reservationists Fight Plan But Vote for It After Opposition is
 Shown to Be Without
 Effect.

Washington, Nov. 8.-A reserva- tion purposing to safeguard the na- lions right to withdraw from menl- bership in the league of nations was adopted by the senate today with every republican senator and six democrats voting for it or paired in l its support.
 Holding the whip hand by a safe majority, the republican leaders swept aside eevry suggested modifi- cations and carried the reservation through exactly as approved by the foreign relations committee. Two re- publican senators of the mild reserva- tion group led a stubborn fight to alter it, but after they had failed, voted for adoption.
 The final count was 50 to 35, and pairs announced for the absentees showed the entire senate membership to be divided 55 to Al. Five demo- crats, Senators Reed, Missouri, Gore, Oklahoma, Smith, Georgia, Walsh, Massachusetts and Chamberlain, Oregon, voted in the affirmative,
 while Senator Shield. democra tic,
 Tennessee, was paired in favor of the
 reservation, the first of IA proposed
 by the committee to carry out a program which it's sponsors say has been pledged a safe majority through out. The reservation provides:
 "The United States senate stands and construes article one that in case of notice of withdrawal from the leapue of nations as provided in said article. the United States shall be the sole judge as to whether all lits international obligations and all 'its obligations under the said covn- 'nant have been fulfilled and notice of withdrawal by the Uited States may be given by concurrent reso1u- ton tt of the congress of the United
 A motion by Senator Gore to en- power either the president or con- gress to give notice of withdrawal was voted down 68 to IS, gaining scattered support from both sides of the chamber, Senator King, democrat Utah, moved to make the provision relative to judging obligations appli- cable to all the league members, but that was beaten. 52 to 30.
 Charges of partisanship frequent ly. were exchanged dnrine the day Of debate which preceded the roll call.
 Tooday's voting brought the senate 10 Ie the crux of the whole reservation i..eht-the question of qualifying ar t'c,e 10 of the covenant. The com- m'ttee's reservation of the subject, virtually identical with one which the president has said he would re- gard as rejection of the treaty, will come up on Monday.

POSSES STILL SEARCH WOODS
 FOR MURDERER
Negro Slayer of Magnolia Sher- if May Be Caught Today,
 Is Belief.
SWAMP LANDS STOP
 STATE BLOODHOUNDS
Feeling Running High and Summary Execution Not Unlikely-Greer is Second Columbia Sheriff
 To Be Slain.

Possemen continued all yesterday and last night the search for Jordon Jamerson, the negro slayer of Sheriff B. T. Greer of Columbia county, who is believed to be still in hiding in the woods in the Big Creek bottom, several miles from Magnolia.
 While some of the deputy sheriffs and citizens engaged in the hunt arc covering the woods, others are watch ing the homes of negroes to whom it is thought Jamerson may appeal for aid in evading arrest.
 Deputy Sheriff Duke Emerson of Columbia county stated to The Graphic over the phone last night that he believed the negro is in the woods, and was hopeful that trace of him would be found today.
 Warden A. J. Witt of the Cummi1s farm, with three bloodhounds, is with the party at the courthouse in Magnolia awaiting word from the searchers that the negro has been heard from. The dogs will then be taken to the place and put on the slaver's trail.
 The woods where the negro is be- lieved in hiding are about five miles across, and for the most part are flooded. Because of the water, it was deemed inadvisable to go in with the bloodhounds. It was thought that while the man-hunters would ba set<ing trial in one place in the forest, other searchers might learn something of the whereabouts of the negro elsewhere, and valuable time would be lost in going for the hounds to put them on fresh trail.
 Reports from Magnolia reaching here yesterday, indicated that Jamer- son will be hanged if he is captured alive, as feeling against him is high among white and colored citizens of Columbia county Many negroes are reported to be taking part in the search for the murderer.
 Bury Greer Today.
 The funeral of Sheriff Greer will take place at Magnolia today. MT. Greer was A years of age. and was married, but without children. His wife was a Mississippi girl.
 Sheriff Greer is the second Colum- bia sheriff to be killed bv negroes in the last eight years. Sheriff Sid McMath was shot to death by two neproes in 1911.
 Governor Rrough. according to a report from Little Rock has advised Columbia people that he will not ap- point sheriff to succeed MT. Greer until the latter part of this week.
 Warden Dee Horton of the Tucker penal farm, who started from the farm Friday night was advised that Warden Witt had arrived here in time to board the south bound Cotton Belt train yesterday morning. and that it would be unnecessary for him to make the trip to Magnolia. He re- turned to Tucker.
 Chas. J. Can't last night authoriz- ed on behalf of the citizens of Mag nolia, a reward of $500 for Jordan Jamerson. dead or alive. Informa- tion should be wired to c. D. Emer- son, deputy sheriff, Magnolia, Ark.
