COAL CASE IS LAID
 BEFORE COMMISSION
Operators Representative Launches Attack on Rec
 ord of Union Leadership
By As.osiatrd Pres

Washington, February 5.-The case of the bituminous coal industry ef the five states comprising the southwestern field were laid before the coal strike settle ment commission today by representatives Of the operators and of tue United Mine Workers districts involved
 As spokesman for all operators in the field ". N. Taylor, president of the National Coal Association, launched an attac,s on what he described as 'the black and rotten record of union leadership in tine southwestern mines that precipi- tateG a controversy between himself and John L Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America.
 Union heads have inflicted economic loss and even poverty upon the willing worker in the mines by calling useless strikese mostly of wildcat variety.
 There were 368 strikes in the Kansas district alone in 1918, which cost inc miners in lost wages si.644,0oo, he added
 Mir Lewis took exception to Mir Tay- lor's term of the wildcat strikes, and declared the record should be cleared AS to the precise counotation of wildcat" as used by Mir Taylor.
 "Perhnps MT. Taylor has used the term loosely he said 'I would state tnat wildcat as accepted in the parlanee of
  is properly term to be applied only to unauthorized. irresponsible walkouts called in violation of contract agree ments. As Mr Taylor has laid down the responsibility for these strikes, upon the union heads. I think the inconsistency should he cleared
 Mir. Taylor rejeined that inasmuch as the strikes had been called in spite of the existence of supposedly strike-proof con- tracts between operators and miners. he still believed he was right in the choice of terms He added that he believed the miners in the southwestern field did rot need an increased wage scale as much as 'an unmolested opportunity to work, the lack of which ..'eould not in justice be balanced against the presen scale.
 Representatives of the Mine Workers unions presented number of demands designed primarily to place wages and working conditions on uniform level within the field. Chief among the re- rnands were that the cost of moving loaded and empty cars to and from the working base be assumed by the oper- ator at all mines, and that miners be paid for time lost by the rising of water in the mines

TAKE FORM FOR PRESUMPTION
 OF TREATY DEBATE
Definite Decision on Exact Procedure Not Expected Till Pact Actually
 Comes Up Monday /
By Au.sIs,.. Pres,

E~~~NaAt1s
 lp Washington, February 5.-Plans of the party leaders for resumption of the peace treaty debate began to take form today. altheught 1t was said there probably would be no definite decision as ts exact procedure on either side until the treaty actually is called up for consideration Monday.
 Senator Hitchcock, the acting demo- cratic leader, returning to Washington afters-a weeks absence, called q party conference for Saturday to consider some of the points likely to be raised Senate floor. On the republican side there were numerous consultations among the leaders. but it was said no final plan was adopted.
 Indications today that the influence of President Wilson might again be felt in the Senate controversy devel- oped an angle full of interesting possi- bilities, but there was nothing to re- veal how active a part he might play when the fight is renewed in the open. It became known that he had been in communication indirectly with some democratic senators and the repub- licans heard a report, which Senator fditchcock declined to discuss. that a letter setting forth the executives views on compromise reservations had been sent to the democratic leader.
 NOTE GREY LETTER
 Tie White House also took notice during the day of the recently pub lished letter of viscount Grey. former British ambassador to the United States, in regard to reservations, of ing unofficially that they felt the ordi- nary diplomatic courtesies would have suggested that this government he con- suited before such a document was made public While taking the posi- tion that they did not care to specifi- cally deny them, White House officials said there was no foundation in fact for reports that the President knew of the Grey letter prior to it's publication.
 Reports that the letters publication had led to diplomatic representations by this government we're denied, how ever, at the state department, where officials declared there had been no ex- changes regarding it either before or since it became public
 Among senators the Grey letter con- tinued a subject of widespread discus sioH, dppdreHiy iorecdstlng that II would play a prominent part in next weeks debate.
 Although there has been no formal agreement between republican and democratic leaders regarding the me- chaniczl process of getting the treaty back before the Senate, it Is expected on both sides that when it is called up it will be referred to the foreign rela- sions committee, which imm ediatcly Will report it without any attempt to frame reservations. This step, 1t was explained, will be merely a technical one in order to get the treaty out from under the cloture attached to 1t just before it failed of ratification in No
