BRITISH PREMIER SUGGESTS PLAN ID END STRIKE
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

LONDON. Oct. 24-Premier Lloyd George. cabinet members and repre- sentatives of striking coal miners. con ferred for three hours in the premier's official residence in Downing street today. After the miners delegates had departed the cabinet members contin- ued fin session with Mir. Lloyd George.
 Prank Hodges. a miners representa- tive, said the discussions would be continued.
 Later the miners executive body went into conference, which lasted until 4:30 D. m., and then adjourned until tomorrow. The conversations with Mir. Lloyd George will be resumed tomorrow, 1t was asserted.
 The hope seemed to prevail that there would be a settlement of the coal strike as a result of direct negotiations between the miners and the govern ment Meanwhile neither side has dis closed the nature of these negotiations, but. according to unofficial reports. MT. Lloyd George suggested a new formula which would satisfy tho government, that if a two shillings advance in wages was conceded it would be &C., companied by increased output. There seems to be strong belief the full exec utive committee of the miners fedora ton will meet the government within a few days on basis which can be sub mitted to the miners for acceptance or rejection.
 At the conference today. in addition to Mir. Lloyd George, government rem resentatives included Bonar Law. gov ernment leader fin the house of com mons; Sir Robert s. Horne. president of the board of trade: the minister of mines, the coal controller and other experts. Robert Smillie. president oi tho miners federation. Frank Hodges and Herbert Smith, represented the miners.
 Mir. Lloyd George outlined a numbe, of ideas he suggested might ultimateI, lead to a peaceful solution of the sit. uation. While the conference was fir progress. Baron Stamfordham, a pri. vate secretary of King George arrived and remained for brief period.
 When the conference ended, miners delegates met the entire miners execu. tive committee.
 Mir. Hodges tonight declined to stat, the nature of the governments sug. gestions but appeared to be hopefu they would lead to some acceptabl, arrangement He asserted nothin. further would be done pending renewa of the conference tomorrow One in dication of a hopeful turn was af forded tonight by report from a wei informed source that the governmen contemplated postponing the introduc ton of it's emergency bill. which woul, virtually place the country on a wa basis. It has been intended to attemp to pass this measure through all stage in parliament tomorrow. The matte will be finally decided by the cabine tomorrow.
 It was considered postponement e the project would assist in negotiation between the government and miners. , It it said the new formula the gov ernmcnt has proposed to the miner s while giving .he miners the two shil ! lings advance. will insure a substantis increase in the output of coal.

"my back on them. 1t is not inter
probation but rejection that l am

that language. So far as the United
States is concerned, it means the
death of the League of Nations if
Harding is elected. 1t is not merely
pettifogging and an attempt at fresh
deception to pretend that the Des
Moines speech is in harmony with
his speech of August %. 1t is pit
full exhibition of n mind that knows
neither stability nor courage. Mr..
Harding was fairly blackmailed into
rejecting the League by Borah and
johnson. Now he is frightened by
these Republican defections in the

who will follow the example of those
whose names have already been pub

the Treaty ratified. That would ex-
pose him to the derision and con-
tempt of the nation-of the world
for it would show that he sought
and won the Presidency by false
pretenses. But any attempt on his
part to secure ratification of the
League would fail. He has not the
courage to face the bitter enemies
OF the League in the Senate, he has
not the personal force to overcome
them; they would wreck his Admins
tration if he tried it. His miserable
campaign device of an Association

where. Ridicule has killed it. The
election of Harding, therefore, would
prevent the ratification of the Treaty
and exclude the United States from
the League Of Nations. That is why
many Republicans find it impossible
to support his candidacy.

mense estates in Mexico and he has
consistently tried for years to en-
broil that country and the United
States in war in order that he might
profit thereby. Americans have long
looked with greedy eyes upon that
country and have desired to exploit
it for their selfish gain, and Senator
Harding's words, if they mean any
thing, mean that his Mexican po-
Icy would favor their selfish pur-
poses. The people who look with
covetous eyes towards Mexico arc
all opposed to the League Of Ma
tions, because its purpose is to pre-
vent wars. The mothers of this coun-
