and Massachusetts by
Large Maj0Fities.
RESULT CLOSE IN new JERSEY
Legislature Probably Republican, But
Democrats May Elect Governor
Prohibitionists Win in Ohio.

Washington - Elections in five
states this year resulted in gains for
the Republicans everywhere. Massa-
chusetts and Kentucky each elected
Republican governors. Following is q
summary of the returns:
In Kentucky Edwin P. Morrow, Re
publican, elected governor by a large
majority over James D. Black, Demo
cratic incumbent, following cam
paign in which National issues we're
involved a vote of confidence in the
Wilson administration and the League
Of Nations had been urged by the
Democrats.
In Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Cool
idge, Republican, was reelected by
greatly increased majority over Rich
ard II. Long, Democrat The League
OF Nations was one of the issues,
COoldge's increased vote resulting in
part from the OBJECTIONS of large num-
bers Of Irish-Americans from the Dem
Ocratic party.
In New Jersey the only Republican
/ loss in the elections appears to be
in the fact that Edwards, Democrat,
apparently is winning for governor
over Bugbee, Republican Nation is
I sues were not brought in to the cam
paign, and booze was the principal
/ factor for the Democratic gains Ed
wards promised to make the state
wet as the Atlantic" if possible. The
| race is close.
In Maryland the contest for gov
ernor is so close that until the last
! country precinct has reported Rit-
chic, Democrat, has a slight lead in
Baltimore over Nice, the Republican
/ candidate, in early returns
In New York 1t was bad day for
/ Tsmmany Hall, the Democratic or

Republican, apparently has been cleo

men Of New York City, and the Tam
many candidates for the supreme
court were defeated by large major

In Ohio the "drys" apparently have

FIGHT ON TREATY

Senate Fails TO Fix a Definite

that the final vote be taken at once.
indicated purpose to defeat ratifica-
ton by combining with the treaty's
irreconciIiable opponents should the
reservations adopted by the foreign
relations committee be written into
the ratification resolution. Whether
the administration forces then could
present an alternate resolution under
senate rules was brought into Ques-
ton by the Republican leaders. who
ton got consideration, it, too, would
be voted down.
Takes Up Amendments.
An hour of debate on the subject got
nowhere, and the senate went back to
its consideration of treaty amend
ments. 1t may reach a vote soon on
that by Senator La Toilette, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin, to strike out the Ia
Dor provisions and then, unless some
new plan is devised to hasten action,
other amendments and a long list Of
proposed reservations will be taken
up under the tedious rule of unlim-
tied debate.
The administration proposal for a
vote was presented by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, the Democratic
leader, after he had blocked one by
Republican Leader Lodge calling for
final vote on November II. A final
vote" on that date, declared Mr.. Hitch
cock, would mean that the only oppor-
must come on a resolution drawn up
by the treaty's enemies and contain
ing reservations unacceptable to the
administration senators.
Blocks Programme.
Mr.. Lodge, in turn, blocked the adj
ministration program, which would
have provided for a vote on the com
mittee resolution with its reservations
and would have left two for consider
alton of any compromise resolution
agreed on by the Democrats and the
mild reservation Republicans. To
open the way for such a move after a
ratification vote had been taken
would mean upsetting senate rules en-

ratification with the committee reser-
vations they would place the treaty

FAVORs The WILSON PLAN
Attorney General Palmer Sees In Con
fidentiaI Reports a Tendency to
End Coal Strike.

Neutrality-suspicious. steps for
assembling at Washington an indus
trial commission to deal broadly with
present turbulent conditions has been
suggested by the advisory board Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
Labor leaders have well defined
fears of the dangers of the govern
ment demonstrating that a great
strike can be broken by injunction. II
the plan succeeds in the mine strike
it might succeed in q railroad strike
The peace appeal of the railway
brotherhood was prepared at a meet
ing OF the advisory board which was
called by Mr.. Stone following q long
distance telephone talk with John L.
Lewis, OF the United Mine Workers,
in which the engineers leader urged
acceptance Of President Wilson's offer
to appoint a commission to settle the
differences between the miners and
the operators. Thereupon the ad.
visory board discussed the situation
with Mr.. Stone and formulated its
views of the way to obtain industrial
peace.
Deploring attempt at government
by Injunction, as a means Of settling
the coal strike, the board, speaking
for $4,000 members, declared injunc
tin1 proceeding would make condt
lions worse and defer, if not defeat, 6
peaceful settlement"
The board stood out for an indus
trial commission that would +recog
nize the rights of all citizens and moi
be pledged to oppose collective bar
gaining" Its statement, the only for
NAL one bearing on the strike issued
here during the day, was considered Z
direct outgrowth OF the miners walk
out, and was prepared after full con
sideration Of questions leading up Il
the break between operators and
mine workers.

effort 10 keep the country supplied
with fuel will depend upon what hap

WOULD FORCE A
Mine AGREEMENT
Union Official Believes Govern.
ment Should Call Confer
ence and Command Peace
NO CHANGE IN COAL SITUATION
Operators and Miners Continue Firm
in Positions on strike-Injunc-
ton to Continue in Force.

anapolis.-William Green, sec
rotary treasurer of the United Mine
Workers OF America, has suggested as
means Of settling the strike of coal
miners, that the government arrange
for a conference of miners and op-
orators and command them to reach
an agreement
"Should Command Agreement"
1.-The real way to settle the strike
is for the government to bring all its
moral and legal influence toward
bringing the operators and miners to-
gether and command them to reach an
agreement" Mr. Green's statement
said. This is the practical way to
get the mines started"
Mr. Green's plan, however, would
not include calling off the strike pend
ing settlement of the wage arrange
ment, but was in line with statements
made by President John L. Lewis of
the miners recently, in which willing
ness of the miners to open negotia-
lions without reservations" was ex-
pressed.
Strike Situation Not Changed.
Washington.-As was the case be-
fore, there were few reports to the
Department of Justice from its agents
in the bituminous coal fields, and
generally the strike situation was de-
scribed as unchanged.
With colder weather over most of
the country and the big decrease in
production, a few disquieting reports
came from different sections where
available coal stock was limited.
Some Shipments to Local Use.
In some cities local authorities
made their own rules for distribution
of coal, and in number of instances
the Railroad Administration released
big shipments for local use. The ques-
tions of curtailment of train service
and placing embargoes on freight
shipments were discussed, but no re-
duction of service will be made until
conditions reach the point where it
cannot be helped.

fields, about half of Kentucky's 10000
miners remained at work. That fact
was accounted for by the fact that the
miners and operators of the west Ken
lucky field signed an agreement about
six weeks ago providing against a
strike.
The most unusual situation was that
In Utah, where the majority Of the
miners were reported still at work.
That condition resulted from conflict
ing instructions to the miners. John
n. McLennan, Utah representative Of
the union, called off the strike and
later rescinded his order Many miners
were evidently confused. Reports,
however, indicated that about 1000
were on strike.
