Caucus but Alabama Senator
Wins Tactical Victory.
GLASS TO BE INVITED
Underwood Declined TO Press
Advantage Gained and New
Caucus Will Be Called.

Washington, Jan. 15-Democratic

a leader. A deadlock on tie vote de-
veloped between Senators Hitchcock

count on each was 10 to 10, with Sen
ator Smith of Georgia, withholding his
vote. The next caucus will be held
after Secretary Glass, appointed sena-
tor from Virginia, takes his seat. He
is understood to favor Underwood. The
caucus voted by a majority of one to
invite Mr.. Glass to today's meeting or
allow his vote TO be cast but Senator
Underwood decided not to press the
matter.
Senator Underwood in a statement
said Senator Hitchcock's leadership of
the minority in the peace treaty con-
troversy was not involved and that the
Nebraska senator would continue TO
have his loyal support on treaty ques-
tions.
The vote Of Senator Smith would
have broken the deadlock today, but
the agreement to POSTPONE finafaction
until Secretary Glass was seated was
said to have been reached without OBJ
lection.
Forty-three senato- We're present,
the absentees being 1-enators Swan
son of Virginia and Smith of Arizona,
who were paired. and Senator John
son of South Dakota. Senator'S Hitch
cock and Underwood refrained from

ris, Harrison, Jones of New Mexico;

Shields. Smith of Maryland: Smith of

Massachusetts; Williams-19.
The result of the vote" Senator
Underwood stated, does not interfere
in any way with Senator Hitchcock's 5
control or leadership in the treaty
fight. He has my loyal support and
will continue to have it, and if 1 had
been elected today or should be elected
in the future to the minority leader
ship, Senator Hitchcock will continue
to lead the fight with reference to the
treaty conditions and in the treaty
fight viii have my hearty concur
renee"
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
who voted for Senator Hitchcock also
announced after the conference that
determination of the question of min
ority leadership had nothing whatever
to do with leadership in the treaty
fight

BLISS FEARS RENEWED WARS
JUCOSLAVS in
DISAGREEMENT
Italy, France and England Are
at Last In Accord on the
Adriatic Question.

Paris, Jan. 15-Settlement Of the
Adriatic question now lies exclusively
with the Jugo- Slavs. Premier Nitti of
Italy informed the Associated Press
tonight as the agreement which was
sent to Belgrade yesterday for ap-
proval shows France, Great Britain,
and Italy in complete accord. 1t has
been communicated to Washington,
where it is hoped it viii receive en-
dorsement.
The agreement says Italy offers to
leave Port of Fiume and the railways
at Sussak under control of the league
of nations. "The city itself is abso-
lutely Italian in it's nature" he added.
Just at the time when the Italians
seemed likely to agree to the accep-
tance of a solution to the F'iume ques-
ton which has been approved by
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau, a division was created among
the Jugo- Slavs regarding the prob
lens involved.
According to best information OBJ
tainable the Slovene element of the
new SIav kingdom is stoutIy opposed
10 a compromise by which Italy would
give up some of the territory appor-
toned her on the Dalmation coast in
exchange for full sovereignty over
Fiume, with strip of land connect
ing that city with the province of
Istria to the west.
Other elements favor accepting the
but because of the impos-
sibility of reaching an agreement, the
Jugo- -Slav delegation has been OBJ
liged to reject the proposal. Premiers
Lloyd George and sClemenceau there
upon issued a sort of ultimatum de-
manding that the government at Bel
grade decide without delay upon what
it wanted to do and give a categoric
answer yes" or mo- to the Italian
compromise.
1t is impossible to ascertain here
whether President Wilson has been
consulted regarding the proposed
Fiume settlement which appears to be
in absolute contradiction to the presi-
dents firm stand.

MINERS REFUSE
KEEP WORD
Penna Tells Coal Commission
They Won't Work Three
DAYS When Two Will Do.

Washington, Jan. 15.--With the con-
clusion of arguments bearing on the
situation in the central competitive
field today the presidents commission
for settling the bituminous coal strike
took under advisement a mass of sta
tisticaI material submitted by the min
ers and the operators. President Rob
inson announced the commission would
meet again Monday for the cross ex-
animation of witnesses.
Phil H. Penna, secretary of the In
diana coal operators, the last spokes-
man for the central field operators,
told the commission today collective
bargaining without responsibility on
both sides was farce. Contracts be-
tween miners and operators had form
erly been almost sacred, he said. but
now they were not respected generally
or locally.
.sThe mine workers are irresponsible
as an association" he said, That is
why we shall ask this commission to
ask congress in the interest of coIIec-
tive bargaining for legislation that
will make associations and people en-
tering. into collective bargaining re-
sponsible.'
Penna said that the operators sym
pathized with the objects of the mine
workers in demanding better standards
of living, but that there was no chance
to improve the standards of "the men
who won't work three days a week
if you pay him enough TO live on by
working two"
The base of our entire trouble to-
day lies in not enough production and
this thirty hour a week demand is a
proposal to try and meet the trouble
by adding to the cause of it.

House Eliminates Provisions for
Extension Before Passing
Appropriation Measure.
BUDGET is HALF BILLION
Southern Cities Had Urged Ex-
tension of Airplane Mail TO
Nearly Every Section.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The largest
postoffice appropriation bin ever pre-
sented. carrying s4so,s77.s6s for the
maintenance of the department in 1927.
was passed today by the house.
Provisions for continuing the exist
ing airplane mail service were elimi-
mated from the bill on a point of or
der by Representative Ticher, repub-
lican of Kansas. who held such service
unwarranted by law The bin would
have extended air mail through
the south and to Alaska. Its support
ers hope the senate will restore it,
The progressive spirit of southern
and southwestern cities is being mani
tested in the demands Of many of
them for aerial mail service Post
master General Burleson has received
applications from more than 125 cities
throughout the country for extension
.of the present airplane service to their
community. More than one-third ot
these cities are in the south and south
west.
Prospects are that the demands OF
some of the southern cities for this
new branch OF the mail service soon
win be realized as the postoffice de-
partment at present has under con-
sideration two new routes. One would
connect Atlanta with the Washington
and New York service, making a di-
rect route OF $50 miles with flying
time of 10 hours, and 80 minutes.
such service weatd redssce the time cf
delivery of letters from New York
in Atlanta by fifteen hours and thirty
five minutes. It would advance the
delivery of eastern letters TO points be-
yond Atlanta from twelve to twenty
four hours, and southern letters in the
north by the same time.
Another route being considered is
one to New Orleans from St. Louis
WHICH would connect there with the
present service from St Paul and
Minneapolis via Chicago. stops would
be made on this service al Memphis.
