new POINT IN
THE PEACE ISSUE
Senator Thomas Says Wilson's
Consent is Necessary
MARKlNGTIME IN THE SENATE
Speaker GiIlett And Republican Floor
Leader Mondell Confer With SEN
ator Lodge To Decide Upon A
Course OF Procedure.

Washington with plans for peace
declaration at standstill in the Sen
ate, leaders of the House conferred
on means of fastening action on the
declaratory resolution at their end of
the Capitol.
There was no final decision on the
form of the resolution or the time of
its presentation, but it was said an
agreement probably would be reached
within a few days. Several suggested
drafts are under consideration, all of
them following in some respects the
Knox resolution, which has been APP
proved by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
Various constitutional points have
been raised, all of which the leaders
want to meet in the draft which they
finally will lay before the House. It
is expected that the resolution will
be put into form in the foreign Affairs
Committee and then will be brought
up on the House floor under a special
rule to expedite its adoption.
Several causes are understood to
have contributed to the decision that
the House should act before the SEN
ate, one being the absence Of SO
many senators that mastering quo
rum would be difficult. Besides, there
are so many conflicting opinions
among Republican senators as to what
the resolution should contain that it
was suggested the House try it's hand
and give the Republican Senate lead
ers something substantial to work
with when Senate consideration does.
begin.
Speaker Gillett and Republican
Leader Mondell, of the House, held
long conference with Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, the Republican
Senate leader before. the plans for
House action were inaugurated, and
it was said general understanding
was reached as to procedure. While
the House is at work the Senate
leaders will continue informal confer
ences on the subject, but no move on.
the Senate floor is expected until the
latter part of the week at the earliest.
A new element was injected into
the question by Senator Thomas.
Democrat, Colorado, who declared in a
Senate speech that if President Will
son vetoed peace declaration, as
many senators believe he will. Con-
! gress would have no authority to pass
it over the veto. He argued that as
the Presidents concurrence is re-
quired regardless of how many times
or by what majorities the deciaratory
resolution might pass the two houses
of Congress.

a. means of'treducing gasoline con-
sumption and rendering them more
desirable for private use, also was
noted. The vessels may be inspected

will Not Accept Less Than As
FLO Per Cent. Increase
WILL TRY TO OBTAIN SIXTY
They Declare They viii Not Consider
Any Wage Scale Unless 1t Gives
Them At Least 10 7-1o Per
Cent. Increase.

New York.-While pressing their
original demand for a so per cent.
wage increase, anthracite mine work
ers declared they will not accept less
than AZ ITO per cent
Because of greater skill required in
bard coal mines, these diggers until
recent years received more pay than
soft coal workers, according to off,
Cials of their union. This difference,
however, has not been maintained and
hard coal diggers declared. they are
entitled to IS ITO per cent, in addi-
tion to the ~ per cent. wage increase
Just granted bituminous workers.
I'VE will not consider any wage
ecale unless it gives us at least is ITO
per cent. increase over the q per
cent. advance awarded the bitumin-
GUS men," said Philip Murray, inter-
national vice-president.
Arguments and statistics to, combat
wage demands were presented by the
operators at a meeting of the subcom-
mittee of miners and operators APP
pointed to negotiate new wage agree
ment in the anthracite field After
the data had been, read into the rec
ord, the committee adjourned until to-
morrow. Following a conference of
the general scale committee of the
miners, an official circular was drawn
MP, notifying the men in the anthracite
fields to remain at work after April!
/, as the operators had agreed to make
sany wage award retroactive to that
date" when the present contract ex-
pires. The notice, signed by the pres
idents of the three districts comprise
ing the hard coal region, and Mr.. Muir
ray, were mailed to locals.
"You are officially notified" said the
circular, ito observe as in the past
April as a holiday by remaining away
from work, but after that day work is
to be resumed, pending negotiations,
and in these negotiations it will be our
aim to bring the matter to a conclu-
sion as soon as possible"
Union officials explained that April
has for years peen observed as
holiday in commemoration of the an
niversary of the granting of the eight
hour day in the coal Industry.
Anthracite mine operators held a
meeting here which was attended by
several employers besides those serv-
ing on the subcommittee. They issued
no statement at the close of the con-
ference, but it is understood that they
discussed the course of procedure in
presenting figures and data in rebuttal
to the arguments already submitted by
mine workers.

Dover, Del.-Much to the disappoint-
ment of the suffragists of Delaware,
as well as to the nation, Delaware did
not ratify the suffrage amendment. as
had been hoped, on the opening DAY
of the special session, called primarily
for that purpose, and from indications
it does not look as though the suffrage
question will be settled until the Della
ware School Code, either by repeal or
amendment, is gotten out of the way.
This latter opinion is generally ex-
pressed by both suffragists and anti
suffragists and members of the Gen
eral Assembly.
The suffrage amendment, while pre-
sented at the afternoon session by
accident, was quickly withdrawn, the
explanation being that it had become
mixed up with concurrent resolution
which had been handed to Representa-
tive Gregg.
Leaders of the National Women's
Party here included Miss Alice Paul,
Mrs. Lawrence Lewis and Mrs. Flor
ence Hilles. OF the Equal Suffrage
branch, Miss Marjorie Schueller, s<c-
rotary to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.
and Miss Betsey Edwards, supposed to
represent Republican National Chair
man Will Hayes. OF the anti-suffra-
gists, Miss Rowe, Miss Alice D. White,
of national reputation, were present.
State leaders of the antis present in
cluded Mrs Henry B. Thompson, Mrs.
George A. Elliott, Mrs. Richard Reese
and Mrs. G.. L. Reese. AS the result
of the days work it was declared that
had a vote been taken the suffrage
amendment would have been beaten
by vote of 10 in the Senate and %
to 25 in the House.
The suffrage leaders of both
branches, however, would not listen to
any such reports or predictions and
expressed confidence that had a vote
been taken suffrage would have gone
over the top" with "whoop."
