md CONFERENCE IS THREAT

Washington, Jan. 26. - Senator
Lodge. Republican leader. today re-
fused to resume bipartisan treaty
conferences except upon the definite
understanding that no change WHAT
ever be made in the Lodge reserves
lions on Article 10 and the Monroe
doctrine. He delivered this virtual
ultimatum to the Democratic mem
bers at brief meeting today.
Democratic conferees Immediately
went into executive session to decide
on their answer. Senator Hitchcock
in a statement issued after the Demo-
cratic conference. added that the
Democratic reply to Lodge will be de-
livered at another meeting of the
bipartisan conferees tomorrow morn
ing.
Lodges action is believed to have
made certain the breaking off of the
conferences and to mark the failure
OF this effort at treaty compromises
Fate of the negotiations for a COM
promise In the senate peace treaty
deadlock hinges on today's meeting OF
the bipartisan committee. composed
or five Democrats and four Republf-
cans, who have been holding a series
OF informal conferences in an effort
to adjust differences between the foes
and friends of the pact
Before the meeting there was no
decision as to what concessions the
Republicans were willing to make.
but it was said the Democrats would
be told that no change involving the
principle of the two principal reserya-
tions at issue would be permitted. Any
change in these. Article 10 of the
League OF Nations. and the dealing
with the voting power in the league,
IT was said the Democrats would be
told must be confined to Language
only.
Lodge Holds Rcins.
The position Senator Lodge assumed
was said to have the approval of a
ma jority of the Republican member
Johnson of California and Borah of
Idaho, as well as. others of the group
| who have opposed any modification or
the reservations which the Democrats
at the last session declined to accept.
After the Republican leader sets
forth his stand the next move will be
up to the Democrats. There was no
indication as to how they would re-
ceive the offer. Senator Hitchcock.
Nebraska, leader of the administra-
ton forces, said he was hopeful but
not confident of the outcome OF the
meeting today. Should the Democrats
refuse to accept the Republican pro-
posals as a basis of an agreement it
was believed in some quarters that
further committee conferences would
be called off, altho the final break
might not come for several days.

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 26.-
Four hundred Kansas miners
struck this morning because of
the passage of. the industrial
court bill.
A mine of the Western Coal
ard Mining company at Franklin
and a mine of the Wear Coal
company at Dunkirk were idle.
State Is Ready.
Every power of the state is to
be thrown into the test which
Crawford county miners have
raised in opposition to operation
of the industrial court act. Rich

left Topeka this afternoon for
Pittsburg and will direct crimi-
nal prosecutions of mine union
heads and the Individual strikers.
A commissioner will be sent to the
field by the court of industrial reh-

supreme court approval will be sought
that contempt citations may be exer-
tinued.

feeling in state house circles that the

problem which confronted Kansas in
the Nov vember coal strike. Now, tho,
the state has more adequate machin-
cry for action. Not only is the court
of Industrial relations empowered to
act, but criminal laws of the state
have been broadened to. prescribe
strikes in essential industries an Of
fense against the state.
Prosecute Strikers Immediately.
Officials of the mine workers union
will be Immediately PROSECUTED under
the felony provision of the new law.
II il is found that they were in any
manner responsible for directing the
coal strike which today called out 400
men. Mine workers who conspired to
quit their jobs Will be prosecuted un-
der the misdC leanor provision of the
new law.
Following receipt of a telegram an
