Birmingham, Sept. 15.-Alabama
coal operators failed to present their
side of the coal strike to Governor Kill
by's arbitration commission. The op-
orators announced that they already
had stated they would not deal with
the miners. The latter presented their
side.
The operators stated their position
regarding the refusal to deal directly
or Indirectly with the union was based
on the past record of the union in
this kand other states" and declared
their position was not changed and
would not change.
The movement at Montgomery for
creation of a state board of arbitrators
with the power of a circuit court,
somewhat similar to the industrial re-
lations court of Kansas, was the chief
topic today among coal operators and
striking miners in the Alabama field.
Creation of this state board of arbi-
tration is provided for in bill intro
duced at the first meeting of the ex-
traordinary session of the legislature.
Under the terms of the bill, the board
would be appointed by Governor Kilby,
would be drawn from representatives
of capital. labor and the public, and
would have legal power to summon
witnesses and examine them with
view OF settling industrial disputes.
rhe decision of the board, according
to the legislation creation it, would
have the same weight as verdict of a
circuit court.
Twenty-Five mines in the Alabama
district have been closed down com
pletely and many others are working
with greatly reduced forces, according
to reports early today at headquarters
of the United Mine Workers. Seventy
five operators have signed the union
blue book contract, it was said, and
more are negotiating.
The coal operators association de-
clared production is about normal and
that shortage of cars is the chief ham

ures were 1000. None of the larger
industrial plants has been affected
by the strike.

REPUBLICAN PLAN FAILS
Harding Now Urges Adoption
of New Proposal for Preven-
tion of War Instead League.
(5y Associated Press.)

Salt Lake City. Utah, Sept. 15.-
Plans for an international court under
the League of Nations as reported from
Paris, were advanced by Governor
Cox in the Utah campaign today as a
telling argument for the League. They
further confound Senator Harding and
other republican opponents, Cox said
in addresses here tonight in the great
Mormon tabernacle and earlier today
at Ogden.
Cox reiterated that republican League
critics failed to offer any substitute
and had expected Elihu Root to bring
forth a new plan.
After declaring that the commission
of which Root was a member made it's
report in the form of recommending
the creation of world court to func-
tion under the League and as a part
of the League instead of being a sub
stitute for the League, Cox added:
This limb having been cut off, with
Mr.. Harding sitting on the end, we may
now confidently look forward to an
other frantic effort from Marion in
an attempt to confuse the public, and
shield both Senator Johnson, who is
against any kind of league, and Elihu
Root who is not exactly for the league
but has performed valiant services for
the existing league, for the party can
didate.

Premier Giolitti was appealed to last

declined to do, believing that the work.
men themselves would discover that
they could not maintain the produc-
ton. He refused to permit troops to
interfere, although guards were placed
around dynamite factories.
The Giornal d'Italia yesterday, in

the danger of bolshevism was past and
that a move would be made by the
government to bring conditions back
to normal. 1t is admitted, however,
that the situation is stiIl grave.

members of the House of Deputies.
Leaders of the workmen insist that
the agreement Win employers must
admit the men to the management of
technical departments, finance and of
fices for the engagement and dismis-
sal of men. They assert that such pow,
ers should be exercised by organiza-

ers declare that occupation of plants
throughout the country will continue
until employers privileges are sup
pressed and the new rights of labor
acknowledged.

own national conscience at home and
not check it at Geneva
The message asserted that American
women must realize that the League of
Nations as presented by the demo-
cratic administration would not mean
peace for us, but would mean our
American boys living in tents overseas
and asked to die in causes in which
they would have no heart"
Harding expects soon to make a

timated it will be one of his most i'm
