IRepuhIlcan A. D. leased WIre1

LONDON. Oct. 19-There were no new developments today in tine coal strike which began last Saturday. In all the coal regions where the men have laid down their tools, order was maintained by the strikers.
 One feature of the situation which bore possibilities of a widening of the strike was the prospect of the 25,O0O London commercial road transport men ceasing work. The men on Sat- urday night passed a resolution declar- ing themselves as fully supporting the miners. A conference was to have been held today to take final action on this resolution. but the meeting was adjourned until tomorrow.
 Meantime orders have been issued to branches of the union throughout the country to have their strike organiza- workers in all parts of the country walk out it is estimated that 180.0 .000 men would be involved.
 By an agreement between the board of trade and the Jockey club. all horse racing is to be suspended for the dura- ton of the coal miners strike.
 Announcement was made tonight of the suspension of the sailings of near ly all the passenger steamers between England and Ireland. Exception is to be made in the cases of vessels carry ing the mails. The railroads also are beginning to restrict their passenger service.
 It is reported tonight that in the Middlesboro iron district nearly 10,0OC workmen have been rendered idle in the iron and dependent industries as a result of the coal strike.

 Coo Made Effort
 To Trap Harding
IRepubIIean A. p. Leased Wirel

MARION. Ohio, Oct. 19.-An unsuc- cessful attempt by Governor Cox to trap Senator Harding was charged in a statement issued from Harding headquarters tonight in response to suggestions by the Democratic nomi- nee that Mir. Harding had conferred with Maurice de Kobra. a French jour nalist, regarding the French attitude toward the league of nations.
 The statement. issued over the sig nature of Judson C Welliver, head quarters director of publicity. said that Senator Harding never had heard of De Kobra until today. although the latter had made an unsuccessful eff fort 10 see him in Indianapolis last Friday. It was asserted further that De Kobra. who said he had been trav- cling with the Cox party. was evil dently expected by Governor Cox to secure an interview with Senator Harding and to say certain things to him."
 Therefore" continued the state ment. when Senator Harding on the next day at Greencastle. Ind made his casual observation about France hav- ing sent a spokesman to him informal iyg Governor Cox assumed that the De Kobra mission had been successful and that Senator Harding had taken the bait
 Senator Harding himself declined to discuss the governors references to De Kobra or to say anything further in regard to his utterance at Green castle. He indicated that with his re- ply to President Wilson's letter on the subject last night he was inclined to regard the incident as closed and that he did not intend to reveal the identi- ty of his informants or any other de- tails of the "informaf' advices he re- ceived from them.
 Senator Harding will leave at z: 90 o'clock tomorrow morning on his last | speaking trip outside his own state | Travelling on a special train, he vii reach Jackson. Ohio. in time to make an afternoon speech at a Republican
 barbecue there. and on the followins day will speak at Rochester and Buff falo. N. Y.

torious' everywhere; rather than that he is famous everywhere.
 Why have the people risen in con- demnation of Senator Lodge? The req son is clear. Our people are quick to recognize insincereity. Reiterating that President Wilson, before return ing to Paris in March. 1918, had con- ferred with senate and house foreign affairs committees and approved league covenant changes, Governor Cox said that Senator Lodge formed the base conspiracy to stab the treaty in the back"
 But even before the president had a chance to return to Paris" the gov ernor continued, "the base conspiracy and the infamous round robin was under way and the nefarious pledge had been made to strangle the treaty to death. From that dark day until now no means have been too vile to employ to trammel American opinion and betray the confidence of the cleo torate. And Lodges leadership was made possible only by the vote of Truman H. NewburY. now under con- viction in the senate of Michigan for having purchased his seat in the sen- ate.
 Malicious falsehoods have been scattered like autumn leaves and the hypocrisy of Lodge himsef, Is one ol the outstanding black events ir American history. Tn the light of his earlier recorded announcements he has been forced to stultify himseli over and over again. He has libelled and slandered no man more than him. l self. He is supporting a candidate who voted for the Knox resolution fol a separate peace with Germany, anC who has since publicly advocated tn, same unworthy act"
 Citing Senator Lodges statement in 1918 against a separate peace anC the senator's Union college addres for world peace, Governor Cox said:
 In view of the present attitude o Senator Lodge, as the acknowledge leader of treaty wreckers, it is cer | tain that he has neither honesty O purpose nor sincerity of mind. It i up to the state of Massachusetts righ now to repudiate his leadership an at the earliest possible moment retir
 him forever to private life"
 Remaining here over night, Governo
 Cox will have New England for hi

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Reduction in bituminous coal prices will be con sidered by mine owners in Cleveland Oct. 26, at a meeting called today by the National Coal association at the suggestion of Attorney General Palmer. Mir. Palmer's suggestion carried the as- surance, the associations announce ment said, that any action toward re- duction of high prices and elimination of profiteering would not be construed under the Lever act as an infringement of the law.
 Col. D. B. Wentz, president of the association, promised to place the sug- gestion before operators, and in order that it might be fully considered, J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the asso- citation, urging all of the 1000 soft coal operators of the country to attend.
 ''The attorney general" the an nouncement said, "has assured Colonel Wentz that action to reduce high prices ! for bituminous coal and to eliminate profiteering, as construed under the | Lever act, if taken without infringing ! certain limitations which he will com
 municate to Colonel Wentz, and the

BOSTON, Oct. 19.-Scathing attacks upon Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and sarcastic criticism of Senator Harding were made today by Governor Cox during his New England tour, em- bracing Massachusetts and New Hampshire cities. and ending with large meeting tonight on Boston common.
 Here. as we'll as to other audiences today. the Democratic candidate de- nounced Senator Lodge as the "arch conspiratOr of the ages" because of his fight against the league of nations. Reiterating that Mir. Lodge headed "a conspiracy to strangle the treaty to death" through the round robin" Governor Cox urged his Boston au- dienee to "repudiate Mir. Lodges lead ership and retire him to private life as soon as possible. To his New Hamp- shire audience Governor Cox urged de- feat of Senator Moses. Republican. be- cause he signed the round robin"
 Senator Harding was heaped with sarcasm and ridicule by Governor Cox in virtually every address of the day. with the incident between the presi- dent and the senator regarding the latter's statement of French overtures for a new association of nations as the basis.
 ,Reciting Mir. Harding's explanation of his Des Moines speech. rejecting the league. Governor Cox added:
 He must think the American peo- pie very stupid. He continues to say that they don't understand him."
 Cox Grows Sarcastic
 Expressing belief that a French au- thor and humorist was Senator Hard | ing's source of information regarding ! French sentiment upon a new asso- ! citation of nations. and commenting | upon Senator Harding's letter to Presi dent Wilson, Governor Cox said sar | castically:
 Poor Senator Harding has beer misunderstood again.

ATLANTA BANKER
 SAYS SOUTH NUT SHORT IF FUNDS

IRepuhltcan A. p. Leased Wlre1
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-Discussion of federal taxation revision and finan- cial relief for the agricultural inter ests was pressed to the fore today be- fore the convention of the American Bankers association. Suggested changes in tax laws, however, were in- definite although some of them prob ably will be dealt with in resolutions to be considered Thursday.
 Secretary Meredith's speech pleading for a square deal for farmers by the banking interests opened the way for several informal meetings by rural bankers. While none of these crys- talized into settled plan, representa- tives of bankers in the cotton states decided upon a general mass meeting for tomorrow night at which their particular difficulties and those of the producer customers will be taken up.
 Robert Maddox, Atlanta banker, de- clared that the South was not nearly so broke as it has been made to ap- pear"
 Mir. Maddox. however, said he ap- preciated the situation. said to be fac- ing the cotton growers and that there appeared to be no hope for help from the government. He suggested the formation of a great cotton export cor poration proposed for the southern states by Governor Harding of the fed
 eral reserve board a year ago, saying
 this seemed to be the only practical
 solution.
 The tax question came up in the
 sectional meeting of the trust com
 pany bankers where Lynn V. Dinkins , New Orleans, president of the group said he believed present tax laws placed handicap on commercial pio. } neering and acted as brake on busi- ness.
 Savings bankers who met also as ' sectional group, joined with member.
 of the section from New York il adopting resolution urging changes ] in the savings bank laws of that stat,
 to permit the free purchase of rail } road securities by such banks.

Ln~PdnN@au ~. v. Lcd8Gu Wlrcl
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. - Acting Secretary Sweet of the department of commerce made public tonight a let ter he has addressed to Senator Hard ing, charging the Republican presiden- tial nominee with having made gross ly erroneous statements" concerning the department
 Mir. Sweet cited extracts from speech made by Senator Harding at St. Louis Oct. Is to the effect that the government had indulged in "too much of meddling fin Europe and too little of trade cooperation with Latin Amer ica," and that it ''had signally failed to extend to it's industrial and com mercial enterprises anything like the encouragement and support which has been given British industries by the British government"
 Tt may surprise you," Mir. Sweet said in his letter "and 1t certainly will surprise those who heard or read your statements and place reliance upon them to learn that our Latin American trade at the beginning of the European war was considerably greater than that of Great Britain"
 The acting secretary placed the total trade of the United States with Latin l 0sS. .O00 and the trade of Great Britain at s1,S39. .556.00O.
 Tn the year 1919 our exports to Latin American countries amounted tC s9S7 ,355. .000." the letter continued Great Britain exports amounted tC 263.973. 900.
 Tn all this there is no indication ol superior British foreign trade meth ods, and you are slandering both youi government and the energetic business men, especially our manufacturers anC exporters, whose fine cooperation witl the department of commerce and eff ficiency have overcome handicaps."
 Mir. Sweet said the present admin istration had inaugurated new meth ods and sent abroad commercial at taches, and that the Argentine govern ment had indicated a desire to adop the methods of the United States il encouraging trade. because after in vestigation. it had found them su perior to those of other countries.
