Washington, Jan. 7.--While the state
department awaited a complete report
on the murder near Port Lobos of two
American employees of the Information
al Petroleum company, it was believed
today that should it develop that Car
rama soldiers were responsible for the
killing, relations between the United
states and Mexico would again ap-
proach the breaking point. The state
department SO far has not been advised
VINO murdered the Americans, II. j.
Roney and Earle Bowles, but the
american consul at Tampico has been
instructed to make a report on the de-
tails of the crime. The American en-
bassy at Mexico City also has been di-
rected to make urgent representations
TO the Mexican government for the
punishment of the murderers.
It was believed here today that the
Americans4were killed by rowing BAN
dts sor by Carranza soldiers. The be-
lief was expressed that the consul at
Tampico certainly would not have no.
titled the state department SO quickly
of the murders had they been the re-
suit of a fracas among employees of the
oil company or had they been commit
ted by native Mexicans under circum-
stances which tended to show that the
Americans were In the wrong.
1t was pointed out here that the Car
ranza troops are in complete control
of the Tampico oil district, in which
the Americans were killed and that
therefore, 1t was not likely that there
was any organized body of bandits op-
Grating there.
According to the state departments
advices the Americans were believed to
have had pay funds of the company in
their possession at the time of their
murder.

Miners RATIFY
Element Of
Recent STRIKE
Plan Under Which Coal Walk
out Ended Endorsed by 1859
Delegates at Columbus
221 Oppose Action.

Columbus, o., Jan. 7.--United Mine
Work Of America meeting today rat
ified the plan under which the recent
coal strike was ended, by vote of
1889 to 221.
The vote came at the end of a
stormy session in which the radical
element of the union sought to block
approval of the project.
Under terms of the settlement Pres
ident Wilson's commission of three
men will fix a basis Of wages for
bituminous miners.
Radicals and obstructionists among
the delegates staged an eleventh
hour" attempt to prevent the vote of
endorsement.
The convention hall was the scene of
widest confusion. Secretary William
Green, acting chairman of the conven-
tion, raped his gavel for 20 minutes
to restore order.
Frank Harrington. president of Illi-
nois district and chairman of the wage
scale committee. clashed with Green
over putting the question to a vote
Following the report of the creden-
tials committee, President Lewis was
given the floor. Lewis attacked recall
citrant delegates, who, he said, for the
past 80 days have denounced and in
suited "the officials of the miners or
ganization. y W
Your officers were only given ~
hours to agree or go to JAIL" said
Lewis. THAT would not be long
enough to hear the credential commits
tef's report, let alone a convention"
Lewis brought the convention to its
feet when he declared:
III had my way and could set up q
government to replace this one and
had full control, the first thing would
insist upon would be that the American
flag must still wave from the dome of
the capitol at Washington
Il stand for better America: a bet
ter citizenship and a greater recogni-
tion of the rights of men who toll. And
this is only possible through the prop
er channels"
Lewis called the conventions atten-
ton to the great loss of life among
the miners during other strikes
This strike, brothers, was settled
without the loss of one miners life"
Lewis said.
he convention applauded Lewis for
five minutes after he finished and de-
nIanded vote on the endorsement.

Washington. Jan. 7. - Democra tic
proposals for peace treaty compro-
mise are unacceptable in their present
form to Senator Lodge and his fol-
lowers, because they fail to agree with
tne Lodge view on article 10, senators
OF the Lodge group said today.
The Democratic reservations, pre-
pared by Seniors Mcclellan, Kendriclx
and Swanson and handed to Lodge late
yesterday, will be revised by mild res
ervation Republicans and returned to
the Democrats.
II the Democrats will accept the
notifications, there is a possibility
that an agreement may be in sight,
senators said. But those best In
formed pointed to number Of OBJ
stacles which must be overcome be-
fore any suggestion can receive the 81
votes necessary to ratify the treaty.
AWAITING MESSAGE.
First 1t was pointed out, much de-
pends on what President Wilson says
In his jackson Day message to Demo-
Gratis. IL he again demands unQual-
flied ratification. all efforts at COM
promise may as well be dropped.
Again, 1t was emphasized, claims
made yesterday by Democrats support
Ing the new proposals. that ~ Demo-
cratic votes would be cast for II, are
not borne out. Except those Demo-
Gratis directly concerned In preparing
the reservations. not q Democratic sem
ator has had look at them.
Forty four votes included the sup
port OF everybody but Senators Hitch
cock, Underwood and Reed. But. 1t
was declared the true situation IL that
Lobody today can say exactly how
many Democrats would vote for the
hendrick- Mckellar plan.
SEE 6RYAN'6 WORK
Another difficulty, 1t was declared,
- that William J. Bryan is UNDER
$1,000 to have aided in preparing, and
- sponsoring the reservation. Bryan

:. crats and his share In authorship of
