Hc Ne4S6dtion ndd appealed 10 the governor with the claim that the strils- ing miners were being denied the right of assembly and the right of freq speech because open air meetings are not permitted. The governors letter was published in Saturdays Age-Her. ald.
 Fhe fact that you are governor
 of the state fOrbids that your lam
 guage should be characterized as
 1t deserves" says Senator Whites
 communfcatfon, ip replying to the
 governor's statement that the del-
 egation had apparently attempted
 to deceive him in emitting to call {.
 to his attention the full substance
 of General Steiner's orders.
 "HOu undertake to sidestep the
 question by stating the causes that
 led yOu to send troops to this sec-
 tion." is the way another para
 graph opens.
 The next paragraph begins: You further undertake to avoid and beclocd the issue 5y appealing to prejudice q to the military service abroad of som of the men now on military duty in the Birmingham district Not one word was said either in the remonstrance or in the speeches against anyone ex- cept General Steiner and no abuse or opprobious epithets were applied to him, but his acts were characterized as those of a satrap or military despo..
 While we do not propose to reflect upon the military career of General Steiner. we feel free to say that he did not offer his life or shed any blood in France. He reached there after the armistice was signed"
 Referring to the governors state ment that Van Bittner and J. R Ken namer had been shown the military or ders before they were signed and agreed to cooperate, Senator Whites letter asks the governor: Do you ex- pect the intelligent people of Alabama to accept this as Justification for sus- pending the constitution which under your oath you are bound to support." The full text of the letter made pub lie last night is as follows.

NO DEVELOPMENT

London October i7-Odtside of som, unofficial conversations between the Va rlous labor leaders, there has been no noteworthy development in the miners strike today. Everywhere there is talk of the possibilities ot mediation. out up to late this evening no step had been taken.
 With the exception of the food min istry. which today presented g. scene of activity, recalling the times of the rail- road strike last year. all of the official dc departments were quiet.
 One effect of the strike will be. t is expected. to bring the industrial crisis into greater prominence than the Irish question when parliament reasserrb,e Tuesday. There is much speculation whether in the event of the railroad men or transport workers deciding to support the miners by sympathetic strikes. thereby precipitating still graver industrial crisis. the government would decide to appeal to the country by general election to indorse the course taken by It.

REpUDIATEs TRADITIONS


 tional isolation had repudiated politi- cal traditions under which the signers had been reared--traditions emphasiz- ing the international responsibilities of America. and from Lincoln to Taft as- serting that they had no brief for the present administration and did not in sist on 'any particular wording of res- ervations to any articles of tho treaty.- The signers set forth that they did not desire that "a cause which should haxs served to unite all parties in the same spirit of common service which won the great war should be made basia of party difference m the present cam. paign.' rsA
 Such republican statesmen as Andpum D. White. Joseph NJ. Choate and Elahn Root labored for the development oe m ternatonal law and for the organtxa- ton of the world throughout two Hagno conferences" read the statement "Wu would continue in the path they indiA cated"
 The statement then cited as proof tisas national isolation has never been q ro- publican watchword." President McKinS ley's attitude toward China; TheodOro Roosevet's intervention in tho Russc- Japanese war: the work of William Howard Taft for the League of Nations; the presidential candidacy of Charles E. Hughes 'as protest against what ne thought at that time was the indkffer- ence of the administration to our inter- national responsibilities, and republican approval of abandonment by President Wilson ''of his party's historic policy of narrow nationalism to advocate Leagua of Nations
 True republican statesmanship wcsxia have welcomed and supported tho cogsr nant," continued the statement YT would have seen in the league the ef4k practicable means of restoring and isa creasing the authority of internati law and It's agencies designed ultima sy to supplant war"
 Declaring that during the late sna everyone agreed that it was imperz 1g@ to adopt some measures to prevent e recurrence tho statement continued:
 THE ONE QUESTION
 "The question confronting Americ whether We shall accept the exis sE league or insist upon new internatielN agreement having the same object"
 Dismissing the thought of new ''a<sas citation of nations the statement sa'As The proposal to ask forty-three ms m Der nations to scrap the existing lea9te1 enter another peace conference and aETs on some undefned experiment can fi9 longer be taken seriously
 The statement then reviewed the vesN already under way of various leag0@ agencies, and said:
 we want our country to stand first in the councils of nations. We want our country to share fully in the great decisions which are shaping the future of the world. We cannot indorse Sena- tor Hardings policy of America last.
 In closing. the statement said:
 Tn the absence of definite assurances that the republican candidates will use their full influence to bring the United States into the league with such reserva- tions as may be acceptable to the Ameri- can people, we urge all republicans and who put patriotism above party to join with US in working and voting for James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt. and for those senatorial candidates who stand honestly and frankly for ratification of the treaty and to the league"
