OPERATORS CONFER

PHI I.ADEL PHIA. Nov. 16-Re

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16-Repre-
sentatiyes of the hard coal miners and
operators resumed their conference
here today in another effort to reach
a settlement of their wage dispute.
When the conference adjourned on
November 9th, it virtually was dead
locked on the Interpretation of Pres
ident Wilson's telegram requesting re-
opening Of The anthracite wage com
missions award. the operators declar-
ing the telegram permitted only the
ratification of alleged inequalities
within the present agreement.
Tho miners representatives disput-
ed this contention, claiming they had
given existing dfferentials between
the hard coal ard the soft coal work
ers wage scales in telegram to
President Wilson on Oct ?. as a rea-
son why the award should be
re-opened They declared the presi-
dent had these differentials in mind. as
we'll as other INEQUALITIES complained
of in their telegram of a later date.
Should this virtual deadlock not be
broken today, miners representatives
said. their committee probably will ap-
peal to President Wilson to make g.
ruling in order that the wage negotia-
tions may proceed.
Among the mems demands are in.
creased equal TO the p per cent grant
ed the bituminous coal miners, n Sc
minimum day rate, a universal eight
hour day and adjustment of alleged in
equalities in the present agreement

the Adriatic question reached at Rap

of Italy. announced at cabinet meet

Signor Giolitti is quoted as declar-
ing the situation in the armistice zone
around Fiume gave no cause for anX-
iety. He said that although he did
not understand what was meant by a
strategic frontier for such a small
state as Fiume, her liberty and indie

the treaty any violation by the JugO-
Slavs would be tantamount to a de-

Italian newspapers, with the excep-

approve the treaty of Rapallo and to

clare the people should assume this
attitude despite the renunciations

FUTILE FOR
WILSON TO
OFFER PACT
Says Mark Sullivan-Declares
Resubmission Would Avail
Nothing - President Un-
likely to Discard Article X.
WASHINGTON BUzzlNG
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10
Washington buZzes with speculation
as to whether or not President Wilson
will again submit the treaty and the
attached league covenant to the SEN
ate when it reassembles on the first
Monday in December. Gossip repre-
sents the president as in a mood to
do dramatic things, as intending to
address congress personally from a
wheeled chair.
To resubmit the treaty would be a
dramatic thing. but it is difficult to
see how it could be other than a fu-
tile thing.
Everybody knows, of course, that
President Wilson could have got the
treaty through the senate any time
during the II months of debate on it
if he had been willing to throw Article
X overheard. But he said Article X
was The heart of the covenant" and
detied the senate's efforts to elimin-
ate it.
OF course, 1t is conceivable that Will
sen might now take the ground that
he invited a great popular referen-
dunn; that this referendum has been
held that however, the result of the
referendum may be interpreted on
some points there is no reason to
doubt that it was overwhelmingly
adverse to Article X; that he bows to
the decision of the majority, and that
he now resubmits the treaty to the
senate and pledges himself in advance
to accept the elimination Of Article X
and otherwise to agree to all the So
called Lodge reservations"
Could Embarrass Senate.
President Wilson could do that. It
would, in the terminology of political
strategy put the senate in a hole. "
1t would put Senator Lodge under the
necessity of making another tortuous
reversal. But there need be no doubt
that the senate would endure the en-
barrassment cheerfully and Senator
Lodge would make the necessary
About face" with facile grace born
of that considerable experience in tor.
tuation which has been forced upon
him by the exigencies of changing de-
velopments, in the league situation.

IN SUNDAY ELECTION;
MAY LEAVE GREECE

ATHENS, Nov. 16-Premier Venize-
los cabinet resigned early today and
Admiral Coundouriotis, the regent of
Greece, has sent for George Rhallis,
to whom. it is expected will be en-
trusted the formation of a new min
istry.
The complete victory of the opposi-
ton seemed almost certain last night,
although final results were still lack
ing. Even leaders of the elements op-
posed to Premier VenizelOs in the
elections held on Sunday were sur
prised by the showing their candidates
had made in Macedonia and Attaca.
1t is said NJ. VeniZelos will leave
the country and he has advised Lib
erals to abide by the verdict of the
people.
Demtrios Gouraris. leader of the op-
position, has declared the foreign pol
icy of Greece will not be changed.
Premier Venizelos decided last mid
night not to resign if reports that the
army had cast enough votes for depu-
ties to give him majority of 220 or
more votes in the new Greek parlia-
ment were confirmed.
Earlier it had been announced that
the ministry was prepared to turn
over power to the opposition, and that
a new cabinet would be formed with
George Rhallis, former Premier and
minister of finance as its head.
Rhallis is so years old. His last pub
lie office was that of minister of fin
ance in the Zaimis cabinet in 1916.
Previous to that time he took a promi-
nent part in Greek politics.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov 16.-Tho
French admiral of the Black Sea
forces sent a wireless to the Bolshe-
Wiki after the evacuation of SCbasto

looted or the population moleSted. \

LONDON, Nov. 16-General Baron
Wrangel, head of the South Russian
government. whose army has been vir
tually wiped out by the Bolshevik Of
fensve in Crimea, left Sebastopol on
Russian cruiser filled with soldieDs,
says a Constantinople dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company. The
cruiser was accompanied by three
transports carrying 10000 troops and
another carrying wounded men, the
first sailing for an unknown port.
Russian Soviet forces had not
reached Sebastopol before the city was
evacuated, it is said. The U. S. d.-
stroyers Humphreys, Whipplc and Ed
wards arrived at Constantinople with
refugees yesterday.
Representatives of the Russian
trade delegation in London, headed-by
Leonid Krassin, were in conference
yesterday with the cabinet discussing
the preliminaries for the possible re-
sumption Of trade with Soviet Russia.
Opinions Differed.
Some progress was made, but it is
stated there is a sharp difference OF
opinion in the British cabinet on the
subject. Premier Lloyd George is re-
ported to favor the resumption, but
several of the prominent cabinet merl-
bcrs are opposing it,
Mr.. Lloyd is said to be supported,
among others, by Andrew Bonar Law,
government leader in the house of
commons, and Sir Robert S. Horne,
president of the board of trade, who
heretofore had opposed the recogni-
tion policy. The difficulty OF the sit
uation is made greater by the atti-
tude of France, where general opin-
ion is reflected as against any resump-
tiOn at present. 1t is stated that
Great Britain will not resume trade
with the soviets without the consent
of the French cabinet, which has been
informed of yesterdays proceedings
and requested to comment upon them.
PARIS, Nov. 16.-The defeat of
General Wvangel, whose south Rus
sian soviet government had been rec
ognized by France, does not mean
that France is ready to consider rec
ognition of the Russian soviet gov
ernment, it was said at the foreign
office today.
The French government is pessi-
mistic regarding any further military
movements in Russia at present, it
was indicated, not seeing where any
tasis can be found for reorganization
of the fruitless effort against the Mos
COW government made by General
Wrangel from the Crimea.
General Wrangel himself, the for
eign office advices said. either had
arrived al COnstantinople on board
the Russian cruiser kornilotf or was
on the way to that city.

FARMERS OF INDIANA
ATTEND CONVENTION
AT STATE CAPITAL
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

The visitor to the farm federation
annual convention is impressed with
the caliber of the delegates, and with
the earnestness with which they
tackle the business of the meeting.
1t Is large gathering of practical
and successful farmers. They are
conservative men and, so far, not a
radical utterance has been heard on
the floor. The discussions have been
calm, dispassiOnate and rational.
Woman Speaks.
The feature of the Monday evening
session at the Claypool was an adj
dress by Mrs. Charles w Sewell of
Benton County, an appealing and most
womanly presentation, and also most
enjoyable.
Following her address the State
organizer, H. G. Reed, told of the
meeting was closed with round
10 p. N.
Christie Speaks.
At the afternoon session on Monday
Prof. Christie of Purdue gave an in,
teresting address in the absence OF
l. R. Howard, president of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation.
Prior to making the presidents ad
dress. John G.. Brown of Monon was
presented with a gavel made from
the flagstaff Of Battery E of the 7th
field artillery, broken in the battle OF
the Argonne in the late war. The
gavel was presented by Charles A
Sims Of Odon, who obtained the relic
from Mai. Gen. G.. p. Summerall.
In addressing the convention, Mr.
Brown said that the farmers feder-
alton came into existence as result
of the position in which the tiller OF
the soil found himself when dealing
with great social, educational and
economic problems. "Practically all
other business, professions and occu
pations have organized to protect and
further their interests, he said. Farm
ing interests which represent greater
production than all other interests
have been unorganized, and as pro
ducers, have met organized buying
with unorganized selling, and as con
sumers, have met organized selling
with unorganized buying"

MEREDITH IS
SEEKING JOB
AS MARSHAL
Clerk of Wayne Circuit Court,
Active Republican Leader,
Candidate for Appointment
Opposes Leb Watkins.
CHOSEN BY SENATORS

Linus P. Meredith, clerk of the
Wayne circuit court, and one of the
most active Republican leaders in
Wayne county, is an aspirant for ap-
pointment as United States marshal
for the district of Indiana.
Friends of Mr Meredith let this fact
become known Tuesday and they in
tend to put forth a strong effort to Sc
cure the appointment for him.
The two United States senators
from Indian will dictate the appoint
ment of United States marshal for In
diana and the appointment is to be
made following the Inauguration of
Senator Harding as president.
MI. Meredith has been closely iden-
titled with the political career of Sen
ator Watson and for several years
has been one of the senator's principal
lieutenants in Indiana and his cam
paign manager in Wayne county. His
relations with Senator New also have
been cordial. Both have been advised
that he is an aspirant for the appoint
ment as marshal.
Was G. o. p. Chairman.
Mr.. Meredith at one time was Repub-
lican chairman for the sixth district
of Indiana and is well known through
out the district.
1t was learned M 1day that another
well known sixth dls.fict Republican
leader, Leb Watkins, former mayor
Of Newcastle, also is candidate for
appointment as United States marshal
for Indiana. Mr.. Watkins spent Mon
day in Richmond calling upon various
Republican leaders asking their sup
port At that time he had not been
advised that Mr.. Meredith was a can
didate for the same office. When Mr..
Merediths friends learned the pur-
pose of Mr. Watkins visit to Rich
mond they made public the fact that
many of the leading party managers
throughout the district were support
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Meredith for
the marshalship.
Sixth Asks Recognition.
So far as known no sixth district
Republican has ever been appointed
United States marshal for Indiana and
sixth district Republican managers
are determined to have this appoint
ment come to this district this time.
They point out that the sixth has al
ways been one of the dependable Re-
publican districts of the state and is
entitled to substantial recognition.
The United States mar"halship IS
one of the choicest plums included in
the patronage the Indiana senators
have at their disposal.
