Root and Fall Confer
On League Operations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Specuation
regarding the probable attitude of the
Harding Administration toward a peace
concord of nations was revived to-day
by long conference between Elhu
Root, former Secretary Of State, and
Senator Fall, Of New Mexico. The
latter is regarded as close in the con-
fidence of President Harding, and
Mr. Root was a member Of the com
mittee which, under the direction of
the League of Nations. drafted plan"
for an international high court Of
justice
Mr.. Root spent five hours in confer
cnce with Senator Fall. but it was de
MED that the peace policies OF the next
Administration were discussed.
1--WE did not mention or discuss any
possible plan OF American action,
either as to the present League of Ma
tions or any other association or or
ganization for world peace" said Sena-
tor Fall after the conference.
As far as am concerned" Senator
Fall added. my opinion is that We are
out Of the present League Of Nations
absolutely"

Mr.. Root was here to attend a me- ct
ing of officials of the Roosevelt

He did not visit any other Senator
while at the Capitol to- day. but it was
said he plans to see other Republicans

Senate May Oppose l, 400
Wilson Postal Nominees
Nro.n rhe Trlbu,.c.a Woghlnatot. nureau

From Tho Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-By reason
of the fact that President Wilson has
sent to the Senate appointments of
about 1,400 postmasters, there was
much informal discussion among SEN
ators to-day about the course which
ought to be taken about these appoint
ments, and also with reference TO the
1917 order of President Wilson put
ting first, second and third class post
masters under the civil service.
Without any formal agreement on
the subject it is the consensus of
opinion among Republican Senators
that the postoffice appointments before
the Senate this session ought not to be
confirmed and that the 1917 civil serv-
ice order ought to be revoked by Sen
ator Harding when he becomes Presi-
dent. He will be strongly urged to
take this course, and while Senators
do not profess to know definitely that
he will do so. they predict that he will
either revoke it or so modify it that
Republicans will have full and fair
chance to get on the eligible list.
Outright revocation is desired by
many of the Republican Senators for
the reason, they say, that Postmaster
General Burleson has used the civil
ervice order as means to fill the
Offices with Democrats and keep them

Indefinite Stay
Of U. S. Troops in
Mingo Field Urged
County Authorities Aversion
to Throwing Own Relatives
Into Jail One Cause of In
ability to Maintain Order
Special ptspo.ch to Tns Trsnuns


CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. g.
Maintenance of order in the Mingo
County coal strike zone is dependent
upon the retention here indefinitely Of
Federal troops, in the opinion Of par
tisans in the dispute between miners
| and operators. The prediction is
made that should the soldiers be with
drawn, disorders will break out afresh
with renewed intensity.
No success has attended the efforts
of mediators to bring about any basis
of settlement, it is said. The operators
have shown no disposition to permit
the organization of the workers and
the miners union is equally adamant
in its refusal to give up its organlza-
tion program.
AS long as Federal troops are in con-
troll, it is believed, both sides Will
avoid the appearance of being respopsi-
bic for the disorders. In authoritative
circles the opinion is expressed that
state troops could hold the rougher
elements in check if sufficient number
were thrown into the strike zone. No
fewer than 1900 could control the
situation, it is said.
The similarity between the present
SIlQdtlOH 6uQ tIaD WulCn CAlStCO oC
Cabin Creek, w. Va, in 1913, when
1900 National Guardsmen were called
out to dominate the strike zone, is
pointed out.
1t is said that one reason why Fed
eral troops are better fitted for the
task and why fewer of them can ac-
complish the same end is because OF
the family relationships existing be-
tween the miners and the county au-
thorities in the coal mining regions.
One reason why the Mingo County au-
thoritjes have not been able to keep
disorders down, it is said. is because
they dislike throwing their own rcla-
tives in Jail.
Considerable difficulty is being ex-
perionced by the operators in finding
men to work the mines, according to
reports from company Offices. Most of
the men who arrive in Mingo County,
it is said, are looking for union jobs,
end when they learn the conditions
which exist in that area they soon are
ready to leave it. The officials of the
local district Office Of the United Mine
Workers have been active in directing
these men to union jobs in other
places. The exodus Of these miners is
making heavy inroads on the labor
supply, it is said.

though what the Russians gain By it is
not yet known, according to cable ad
vices received by the Near East Relief
here yesterday from Sanain, frontier
customs and railway station between
the republics Of Georgia and Armenia.
The Sanain dispatch, which was
dated December 4, said that by the
terms of the armistice neutral zone
about siXty-eight miles long had been
provided for between Sanain and Ala
guez, the second highest mountain in
Armenia. and thirty-four miles north
west of Erivan.
Other boundaries were unknown in
Sanain, it was said A commission of
three TURKS and three Armenians, to
control the neutral area, was to have
arrived December 6, it was added
The territory in the neutral zone in
cludes the important Armenian city of
Alexandropol, and karakliss,. Delijan,
Hamamloo, Bash -Abaran, Akhta, kho-
roum, Bandamal and j score of other
towns.
Under the armistice terms all troops
except officers and six soldiers in Kara
kiss are TO W thdraW eleven miles from
the zone. Refugees are permitted to
return INTO tne area, put 1t is unknown
whether any guaranty of their safety
had been provided.
The Armenians under the armstice
were to deliver to the Turks 1900
rifles, so machine guns, locomotives
and $50 cars.
The report had been confirmed it
was added, that the Turks were mas
sacring the inhabitants Of two villages
near UamamlOS in p ilered rcnrisal for
the killing Of two Turkish soldiers by
civilians. No other massacre was re-
ported.
This latest development in the Ar
menjan situation. in which President
Wilson has agreed 10 act as mediator
for the League of Nations, shows Ar
menia's helplessness under pressure
from the north and south by the Rus
sian Bolsheviki and the Turkish Ma

their message conveyed to Mr.. Harding
for the reason that they did not want
to take any chances. They know that
tremendous pressure is being brought
to bear on Senator Harding by those
who believe that the existing league

ing that this country should obtain
whatever concessions may be neces-

ables. They are afraid of the in

of Root and Hoover and Hughes and

Arguments Offered Harding
They know that arguments will be
made to Mr. Harding to the effect that
all the other important nations are
now in the league, and that it will be
very difficult to get them to start ne
gotiations all over again for new
general peace program.
so they are taking no chances.
They are letting Mr.. Harding know
right now that if he should yield to
the persuasions of those wishing to

sembling an alliance is substituted for
it. they will be found figk ting against
