only new wage agreement 10
replace the one which they claim
expired with the war emergency is
wished by the union, its leaders en-
phasizing that call from the mine
owners for joint meeting would
find the organization ready to nego-
tiate on any'or all of the demands
formulated at the Cleveland conven-
ton of the union.
These and other points in the
unions position we're set forth in
statement prepared by a committee
of the conference and adopted by
unanimous vote. The statement was
characterized as the final word"
from union forces and John L.
Lewis, acting president, and other
officials referred questioners to the
statement as embodying everything
that could be said and as answer
ing all rumors as to motives actuat-
ing the union.
No Communication.
The statement brought out that
no communication had been re-
ceived from the national administra-
ton, and that the union had knowl-
edge of President Wilson's attitude
toward the strike only through
newspaper accounts. 1t combated
the presidents clai mthat the strike
was illegal by asserting that the
right to strike or quit work had
been upheld by the courts, and that
in leaving their jobs the men would
exercise constitutional prerogative.
Charges that the miners were en-
deavoring to force naturalization
of the mines were indignantly
denied, and again the language of
the statement "tllat all of their de-
mands are incorporated in the wage
proposal was quoted.
Emphasis was laid on the last
sentence of the statement as fol-
lows:
The issue has been made, and
if it must be steeled upon the
field OF industrial battle, the re-
sponsibility rests fairly and squarely
upon the coal barons alone"
Ready to Negotiate.
The word eff" was explained as
significant of the readiness to
negotiate. While conceding that
there was no way of preventing the
strike, the unions spokesman, Ellis
Searles, argued that with the strike
in actual effect, the operators de-
mand that the strike order be with
drawn as a condition precedent to
negotiation was automatically wiped
out.
1--WE fully expect this difficulty to
be settled as all difficulties in the
coal-mining industry have been
settled for 80 years-by direct
negotiations between the owners
and workers" he said. "When that
point will be reached, we do not at
tempt to say. But the strike will be
so big and have such far-reaching
effects that we do not believe it can
last very long before a crisis is
reached"
Tomorrow the executive board of
the union will meet to clear up
big batch of business incidental to
the strike and various routine affairs
which have been accommodating.

ASTOR TRYING TO
LOSE HIS TITLE.

London, Oct. 2o.-Maj. Waldorf
Astor has done everything in his
power to rid himself of the title
which his father gave up everything
to get.
Since the death of his father, the
first Viscount Astor, which auto
mativally raised the major to the
peerage and gave him seat in the
house of lords, the heir has con-
suited the best legal talent to see
if he might pass along the title, it
being suggested that Bobby Shaw,
Lady Astor's boy from her first hus-
band, Robert Gould Shaw, be given
the peerage. Major Astor is still
consulting officers of the crown on
the subject, but there seems to be
no way of avoiding the heritage OF
nobility
Major Astor's object has been to
remain in the house OF commons,
where he hoped to attain distinction,
of which he gave great promise. he
also desires to continue his work
in the ministry of health, where nc
public man in Britain has shown
such enthusiastic interest in the ap.
plication Of scientific sanitation as
he has, and this is work of vital i'm
portance to the country
Major Astor Thought he nigh,
escape the peerage, where ambitious
nowadays consider that they are
buried alive" His father devoted
years of effort and his huge fortune
and risked and incurred humiliation
and the SCOTS of his countrymen ii
America to get the viscountcy.

the house of lords for the commons
He did not succeed, tradition being

that such a measure, if introduced,
would pass.

Ions.
He stated that in its proposal to
dry leaders in congress the league
would set 100000 as the minimum
figure for the prohibitive tax.

Washington, Oct. 2o-The gov
ernment, confronted with refusal of
the miners organization to call off
the strike of 100000 soft coal work
ers ordered for Friday night, moved
swiftly today to protect the people

First of many steps to deal with a
situation, admittedly critical, prob
ably will be these:
Ample protection for miners will

by President Wilson.
Revival of the fuel administration,
armed with full wartime powers, to
prevent boarding and prohteering.
ALLEGATION and distribution of coal
to homes, railroads and essential in
dustries.
Efforts to bring the strike to a
speedy end through mediation.
To Establish Illegality.
The government will establish the
"illegality" of the strike of coal
miners without in any way i'm
pairing the general right to strike.
as the general right to strike is not
in issue in any sense whatever in
the present situation" it was de-
clared in statement issued to-
right, after a conference in the Of
flee of Attorney General Palmer, at
which he discussed the situation
with Secretary Wilson. Director
General Hines, Secretary Tumulty

Senators Have Warm Discus
sion on Question of Writing
Into Treaty Preamble a Ref
erence to the Deity.
AZ AMENDMENTS ARE
DEFEATED IN SENATE
Last Survivor, Proposal Of
Moses to Revise Voting
Strength in League Of Ma.
tions, Is Lost, AZ to 36.

Washington, Oct. 2o.-The As
amendments attached to the peace
treaty passed into history today
when the last survivor, proposal
by Senator Moses, republican, New
Hampshire, to revise voting strength
in the league of nations, was de-
feated in the senate, ~ to SO.
The senate then upset two more
proposed textual changes brought
in by individual senators. One, pre-,
sented by Senator Sherman, republi-
can, Illinois, and proposing to write
into the treaty preamble reference
to the Deity. was laid on the table
by vote of 81 to 81. The other,
sponsored by Senator Johnson, re-
publican, California, as new solu-
ton for voting inequality in the
league, was killed, 43 to IS.
At adjournment, however, the ef-
fort to hasten final action had been
brought up against an obstacle which
seemed likely to prevent further
progress for several days.
Plan Determined Fight.
Tomorrow a determined group of
senators will launch a fight to elimi-
nate the labor section, opening de-
bate which will last, leaders expect,
for a week. The battle is expected
to be the more spirited because it
is regarded as holding out whatever
hope remains, of writing any amend
ment into the treaty.
Nine republicans joined the den-
ocrats in overthrowing the Moses
amendment, which provided that
none of the British dominions
should vote in any league contro-
versy directly affecting any one OF
them. Three democrats voted with
the republicans supporting it. On
the new Johnson amendment, pro-
posed as a substitute for the one re-
jected last week, the lineup was the
same as on his original proposal,
the only changes in the record vote
being due to absences and pairs.
Most of the republican leaders
helped to defeat the Sherman
amendment. ....
Realm of Religion.
The greater part of the days de-
bate related to subjects not direct
ly under consideration. The labor
section got the biggest share of at
tention, Senator La Toilette, repub-
lican, Wisconsin, centering discus
sion about it with three hour
speech assailing the proposed inter
national labor organization as filled
with peril to American labor.
During consideration of Senator
Sherman's amendment the debate
got into the realm of literature and
religion. Mr.. Sherman declared Vol
