ARGENTINE EBOLTER
 WOULD COME BACK
South American Who With drew From ConcIave Says
 "Pro-German Obsession"
By Associated Press

Geneva, December 5-Honorio Peuyr- redon. head of the Argentine delegation, informed the Associated Press today that he would return to the assembly if he received an official invitation to come and discuss his four amendments. Ills appearance under these conditions would in no way change his present position of having withdrawn from the assembly, he explained, and failure of the assembly to adopt his proposals would result Tn his immediate retirement.
 T could not refuse an official invita- tion to appear and explain the impor- tance of my amendments, said Senor Pueyrredon, but l do not believe there is any likelihood of the assembly ask ing me to return. I shall remain in Ge- neva tomorrow and see what the as sembly may do, after which I shall pre- pare to leave for Paris, departing about the middle of the week. I have resolved and nothing can change me.
 AS to the suggestion that my pro- gramme is pro-German, l wish to say that Germany is an obsession of part of this assembly and every move not in agreement with Certain views is termed pro-German. My programme is univer- sal: it is not pro-anything or anybody Unless the league includes every civil ized nation, it is not a league of nations, but league of some nations"
 Senor Pueyrredon has not yet received official word from Argentina regarding

 OPPOSE CONTROL
Proposed Telegraph Conven- ton" Between Great Powers Gets Kick From America.
 U. s. Holds Back
By Associated Press

Washington, December 5.-A proposed telegraph convention between the great powers, drawn up by the international communications conference now in ses- sion here, is understood to meet with vigorous opposition from the American commercial telegraph companies who are said to profess to see in it the virtual ex- tension of the wartime powers exercised by the United States over the telegraph and step toward eventual government control
 The American commissioners to the con- ference have approved the proposed con- vention, the exact nature of which has not been disclosed. The convention is in- ciuded in general one governing the in- ternational use of cable, radio and teie- graph, and the whole must be approved by a. general communications conference to be held later, and then by the various governments before it can become ef- fective. In the case of the United States ratification by Congress will be neces- sary. The United States hitherto has refrained consistently from entering any of the telegraph conventions, officials here say. on the ground that the conditions govern
 
 this means of communication is govern ment owned made participation of the United States inadvisable.
 Particular clauses of the proposed con- vention to which the American commer- cial telegraph companies are said 10 take especial exception and against which they are reported to plan an attack should the cfude provision which give the various governments virtually the right of cen- sorship in peace times These articles in. clude 4. and 8, which read as follows:
 Each government undertakes to de- vote to the international telegraph ser vice special wires, sufficiently numerous to insure the rapid transmission of tele- grams. These wires shall be established and worked in the most efficient manner indicated by experience of the service
 Tho high contracting parties reserve to themselves the right of stopping the transmission of any private telegram which may appear dangerous to the se- curity of the state or which may be contrary to the lawa of the country, to public order or decency.
 Each government reserves to itself the right of suspending the international tele- graph service for an indefinite period on condition that it immediately advises each of the other contracting government"

JUGO-SLAVS ARE LIABLE ID BOLT
Allies Are Notified That Con- stantine's Return to Throne
 Means Treaty Abrogatioh
Rx Associated Prnss

Athens, December 5.--A note declar- ing in effect that the Sevres treaty be- tween the allies and Turkey must be modified should former King Constan- tine return to his throne, was delivered informally to the Greek government to- day by the Jugo-Slav minister.
 Long sessions have been held In the cabinet during the past week, the min isters considering the Anglo-Fr anch attitude, instructions from Constantine and also the financial situation of the country Prior to the delivery of the joint allied note on Friday night, hope was expressed that drastic conditions would not be laid down by England, France and Italy, as they might irr- tate national feeling. The question of finance is the main disturbing factor in the situation, the army alone costing 4,000, 900 drachmas per day.
 French and Greek soldiers have en- gagged in brawl at Saloniki, and three men have been wounded. There have also been clashes in Smyrna between civilians and soldiers regarding the singing of a Venizelos song, and Cretan regiment has been disa -med At some points feeling is running so high that the Venizelosis are refusing to eat olives, which are the Constan- Jinist emblem.

My food fermented in my stomach and formed gas, which pressed under my heart and caused it to palpitate some thing awful. The bad taste in my mouth and bad breath never left me- was constipated and had a hard lump in the pit If my stomach that resembled a pieca of lead.

 closures upon their household goods and personal effects, false arrest and imprisonment; denied their statutory and constitutional rights; unwarranted use of state troops in the coal fields; denunciation by an unfavorable press and most malicious public campaign of misrepresentation have all failed to break their dauntless spirit. It is in- deed questionable whether the people of Armenia, whose sufferings have shocked the world, are in any worse circumstances than the oppressed mine workers of Alabama.
 "In Mingo county, West Virginia, struggle of equal importance is being waged The miners of that territory were locked out by their employers be- cause of their desire to organize and their request for the recognition of the principle of collective bargaining.
 They have waged a remarkable struggle against overwhelming odds, despite the innumerable outrageS in flicted by the private army of hired gunmen employed by the coal operators of that region. Many men have been shot in cold blood by those modern Hessians while in multiplicity of fn- stances other have suffered from brutal assaults upon their persons without having redress in the law.
 SHAMEFUL WEAKNESS
 '"The governor of that commonwealth has utterly failed to give protection to those citizens and has displayed his shameful weakness by recently calling for the use of federal troops in the Mingo county strike field. Were he true to his oath of office he would at once exercise the power vested in him as governor of the state of West Vir- ginia and compel the coal companies to disarm the hundreds of Baldwin -Felts gunmen employed by them, who have usurped the police powers of the com and exercised these powers in the interest of the coal operators, and contrary to the welfare of the citi- zens of West Virginia.
 The international executive board declares that these industrial struggles in Alab and West Virginia must be continued until the coal operators rec ognize the rights of their employees. The. principal of human rights recog- nized by the enlightened public opinion of our country is at stake. There can be no compromise of this principle. The full moral and financial assistance of the international, representing it's mem bership of 500, 900 mine workers will be placed behind the mine workers of Ala bama and West Virginia in this fight.
