COUNTING UPON
AMERICAN AID
HANDLING TURK

Washington, March 9.-As Presi-
dent Wilson has not yet resumed
the custom, interrupted by his ill
ness, of personally receiving am
bassadors resident in Washington,
the decisions reached by the su-
preme council relative to Turkey
which have been sent to Ambassa-
dor Jusserand by the French gov
ernment will be communicated to
him through Acting Secretary of
State Polk. 1t was understood that
the measures decided upon by the
supreme council in dealing with
Turkey are purely coerciye and as
the American position heretofore
has persistently been one of inter
est in the fate of the Armenian and
other peoples oppressed by the
Turks, it is scarcely expected that
any opposition would be offered by
the state department to the execu-
ton of the councils program.
According to information here the
representations to be made to the
American government by the en-
tente include recommendation that
American naval strength in the
Turkish waters be largely aug
mented.
Italy Holds Back.

nomic character.

WILSON ALONE
IS CONSISTENT
over ADRIATIC

London, March 8. - President
Wilson's reasons for refusing to
escape from Adriatic questions by
the back door which the allied min
listers held open for him" are very
strong ones, says the London
Times in commenting on Mr.. Will
sons latest note to the premiers.
This newspaper, which is the only
one commenting on the American
presidents communication, COM
mends him for having always been
consistent while the allies have
wobbled feebly from one impossible
solution to another"
Chides for Delay.
Notwithstanding it's continued
support of Mr.. Wilson, however, the
newspaper generally chides him
for "proclaiming himself immacu-
late on the score of delay" and
adds:
Had he always exhibited the
firmness and clearness of view he
now shows the Adriatic and many
other questions might have been
settled long ago."

Indianapolis, Ind, March 9.--The
United Mine Workers of America
will refuse to accept the findings OF

unless a substantial increase in
wages and improved working con-
ditions are provided. it was in
ferred in statement issued today
from headquarters Of the organiza-

those in charge of the offices re-
fused to comment on the statement.
Indianapolis. Ind. March g.
Nothing short of a substantial in

working conditions will be accept
able to the United Mine Workers
OF America" reads the statement.
THE miners are awaiting the deci-
sion with much anxiety. We be-
lieve the public will understand
our position"
Want Justice.
Unless a settlement Of the con-
troversy is made on such basis,
the statement says, the miners
will not feel that full justice has
been done them" The bituminous
coal commission was appointed by
President Wilson to work out a
suitable wage scale for the miners
and reports on any plans for i'm
proving living conditions, after the
strike Of miners had ended.
Cheaper Living Myth.
There has been steady increase
in the cost OF living since the first
of this year" reads the statement,
"in spite Of the fact that the gov
ernment represented to labor last
summer that living costs would be
reduced and that the government
twould see to it that this was done.
Further promises Of reductions in
the cost of living would fall on deaf
| ears. as far as the coal miners are
concerned, because they have had
their experience with such prom
ises in the past, all of which have
gone unfulfilled.'

Chicago, March 9. - Senator
Bloch, the suffragist, who is hasten
ing to Charleston, w, Va, in an at
tempt to break the deadlock in
the senate on the Anthony amend
ment, departed from Chicago at
noon on special train for Cincin-
natl. He expects to arrive at Gin
cinnati at 6 o'clock.
Senator Bloch intended to make
the trip by airplane, but Mrs.
Bloch, who arrived with her hus-
band at 11:30 a. m, from Califor-
MIA, objected to her husband travel
ing that way, and the special train
was arranged at a cost Of $1,000.
The air trip would have cost $500.

Charleston, W. Va, March g.
Senator A. r. Montgomery. listed
as an anti-suffragist. arrived in
Charleston today, and it was an
nounced by opponents of the Anth-
ony amendment that he would
break the deadlock in the senate
this afternoon and allow that body
to adjourn before Senator Bloch,
the suffragist. who is Fastening
here from California, could arrive
to vote for ratification.
Senator A. r. Montgomery some
time ago sold his West Virginia
holdings and moved to Illinois. He
never resigned from the senate,
however, and his name has been
carried on the roll during the pres
ent extra session.
Suffragistss declared they would
oppose his vote on the ground that
he is no longer resident of the
state, and the opposing party said
they would fight to have his vote
recorded.
Senator Montgomery would not
be quoted on his attitude toward
the amendment.
"I have made no statement on my
position" he declared.
1t was evident, however. from
the high glee with which his Ap-
pearance in Charleston was hailed
by anti-suffragist leaders that there
was no doubt in their minds as to
how Senator Montgomery would
vote.
