BY n. O. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK. October 21.-Democratic
national managers here are enjoying
hugely watching the republicans squirm
as Senator Hiram Johnson Of Califor-
MIA nails Harding to the mast" on alb
solute rejection of the Versailles treaty.
The democratic managers are inclined
to the belief that the republicans may
not find the fiery Californians foray into
these parts an unmixed blessing.
Senator Johnson's presence was de-
sired here to show the progressives
that the republican party is united
behind it's presidential candidate.
Senator Johnson is doing that, but is
not making it his principal business
on this trip. While affirming sup
port of candidate Harding. he lays
great stress upon candidate Hard
ings support. as Senator Johnson
sees it. of the policy of complete
scrapping of the league of nations.
While he says one word in praise OF
Harding he says ten words in ana
thema of the league of nations and
all its works. and points with pride
as he sees Harding standing by his
side in the ranks of the irreconcil
able opponents of the league.
Cox willing to Go to Limit.
And just at that very time along
comes Gov. Cox with an announce
ment which is construed to mean that
he is willing to go the limit for reser-
vations to the covenant in order to
secure the league. Thus sharp con-
trast seems to be presented between
the attitude of the republican party

of the democratic partys policy as
outlined by Candidate Cox.
To be sure, Gov. Cox does not go
any farther than President Wilson

of thing. which, of course. means
leaving the covenant practically as
written as far as objections raised TO
it by republican and democratic reser-
vationist senators are concerned. But
will the voters differentiate on this
score? the democratic managers ask.
both parties admit that the uter-
ances of the two men, Senator john
son and Gov. Cox, would seem to
show to those who would take the
league with modification that the
democratic candidate, in good faith,
will give them a league modified to
suit, while the republican candidate

Campaign in Straits.
Republican leaders have expected
for several days that Gov. Cox would

dorse. They think the democratic
candidate finds his campaign in des-
perate straits and realize that his last
throw of the dice must be to try to
win the support of the advocates of
some kind of a league of nations.
They would not be surprised to see
Gov. Cox go far af1eld from the Presi-
dents stand and evince willingness to
yield still farther on reservations. il

ENGLISH RAILWAY
AND SHIPPING MEN
WILL JOIN STRIKE
Vote to Walk Out in Sympa-
thy With Miners Unless Gov
ernment Starts ParIey.
By the Associa ted Press.

bs tne Associated Press.
LONDON, October 21-The coal strike
took an unexpected and grave
turn this afternoon when the railway
men and transport workers announced
that they would strike in sympathy
with the miners unless negotiations
between the government and the
miners were opened this week.
The railroad mems delegates issued
what was virtually an ultimatum to
the government, that all members
cease work Sunday at midnight unless
the strike was settled or negotiations
which would effect a settlement be-
gun by Saturday.
j. H. Thomas. general secretary Of
the National Union of Raiiwaymen
announced that the delegates of the
railwaymen had decided ito instruct
the general secretary to intimate to
Premier Lloyd George that unless the
miners claims are granted or nego-
tiations resumed by Saturday which
will result in settlement we shall
be compelled to take the necessary
steps to instruct all our members in
England. Scotland and Wales to cease
work.
In addition. a telegram is being dis
patched to all members to be pre-
pared to cease work at midnight of
Sunday next unless they hear to the
contrary"
Transport Workers Meet.
The executive body of the Transport
Workers Federation held a meeting
today, after which Secretary Robert
Williams made the following state
ment:
UNLESS something tangible happens
between the government. which is re-
sponsible for the negotiations on the
owners side, and the miners fed.
Grafton, in the next twenty -four hours.
the issue will have to be joined be-
tween the whole of the working
government in their obduracy to meet
the claim which has been declared
both by the triple alliance and the
trade union congress as justified by
right and in equity. and which should
be Immediately conceded to the mine
workers on the basis of increased cost
of living and the need of maintaining
the prewar economic status Of mine
workers"
The transport workers delegates is
sued a statement along virtually the
same lines as that Of the railway
men.
Pressure also is being exerted by
the trade union congress and the par
liamentary committee of the labor
men to force the government to waive
all prior considerations and call it's
own and the miners representatives
together Immediately.
The government is understood to be
standing firm on the ground that any
increase In wages must nave refer
ence to increased production, but is
willing to reopen the negotiations if
the miners recognize this principle.
The press association this evening
says it understands the district dele
gates of the miners have been sum-
moned to a conference in London.

tions preachments were applauded
warmly here, one of the great NUM-
tions centers during the war. Every
nook of the theater where the gov

and hundreds OF persons struggled
vainly to enter.
There were Kisses and boos from
the audience for Senator Lodges name

Massa chusetts senator WAS "the basest
conspirator in all the history of hu-
manity of the world More Kisses
and some groans were sIs.da the Demon ardins

greatest business depression" in the
nations history would follow refusal
to enter the league.
No reference was made by the gov
ernor 20 the statement of Pierre du
Pont criticising the governors recent

plause was given the governors state

phatic protest from members of the
governors party to the railroad for

to drop their objections.
From Wilmington Gov. Cox went to
Baltimore to speak tonight. Plans
for an afternoon Baltimore meeting
were Cancelled to give the governor
needed rest at hotel.
A special drive against critics Of arti.

cisions must be unanimous and are
merely advisory.

FURNITURE LACK
HALTS SCHOOL USE
Of j. s. BUILDING
Dr.. BaIIou Says There Are No
Funds or Janitors for TAX
inq 1t Over.

Lack of funds and furniture will
prevent school authorities making
any further progress on their pro-
war building at 7th and B streets for
school purposes, it was pointed out
today by Superintendent Frank w.
Ballou. 1t was the intention of Of
ficials to use this building to relieve
overcrowded conditions in some of the
seriously congested schools.
The board of education. said DR..
Ballou, has no school furniture on
hand available for eQuipping the
building, and there are no funds for
the purchase of such equipment Fur
thermore he said, there are no jani-
tors in the service who could be
transferred to the wartime structure,
and there are no funds from which to
employ the additional janitor force
necessary to take care of this build
ing.
Not in Congested District.
DR.. Ballou made it clear that the
structure, which is known as ''B build
ing" and was formerly used by the air
craft service of the War Department, is
in a location where there are no con-
eested schools. This condition, he be-
iieyes, prevents it's possible use for pupils
other than those in the upper grades of
institutions. Small children assigned
to attend such a school. he contends,
would have to travel considerable dis
tances, although no further than many
now travel to attend the high schools
The "B building" said DR.. Ballou.
which are Of the proper size for class
rooms. 1t also has some much larger
rooms which could be used for physical
training exercises or !unchroom pur-
poses These rooms, in his opinion,
might be divided for classroom purposes
by the installation of appropriate parti-
tions, if that were necessary.
Other Buildings Seen.
Investigation of other temporary
wartime buildings which may pos
sibly be available is being carried on
by school officials. DR.. Ballou believes
that buildings more favorably located
may be found that will serve scho ol
purposes as adequately as the "B
building"
If it is ultimately decided to use
the "B building" the superintendent
said, no steps to organize classes ir
it would be taken before the begin
ming of the second semester. February
l. Meantime officials are sanguine
that Congress will grant an appro-
priation to equip the temporary war
structures for school purposes, and
consequently relieve overcrowded
conditions in some OF the schools.
There are many schools in the COL
ored system which are not only over
crowded, but in deplorable condition,
it was said today by Roscoe c. Bruce,
assistant superintendent of colored
schools. At least six of them, in the
belief Of the assistant superintendent,
should have improvements made on
them without delay.
