ORGANIZER FOR
MINERS WOULD
DEBATE ISSUES
Declares Workers in Huer-
fano Field viii Not Gre
ate Disturbance; Claim
of Huge Profits Made.
tRr The AssocIated f.ress.l

Walsenburg, Colo, Nov. IT (by
the Associated Press. Hurting a
challenge for the president of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
or any other man, to meet him in
Il public debate on the justice oi
the miners cause, Robert Foster,
national organizer for the United
Mine Workers of America, was
given q rousing ovation by hun
dreds of strikers here this after
noon at a mass meeting at the Iair
grounds.
Foster, in the course of his ad-
dress, warned the men against vio-
lence or lawlessness of any kind.
go about your business peace
fully" he said. Stay away from
the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany mines and we will win"
Martial law has been declared
in Huerfano county," said Foster.
"but I'll admit can't see why.
at is not the intention of the
miners to create any disturbance
whatever. Our fight Is not to be
won that way.
"All we ask is Justice, If there
is any act of violence dnring TINS
strike, it will be committed by
those who have been sent in to this
territory to help the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company enforce a wage
reduction that will bring hunger
into the homes of the men VINO
hi We stood loyal by the union In
it's hours of need"
Foster reviewed the history of
the controversy between the com
pany and miners and scoffed at
Company's claims that the reduc-
ton in wages was ordered in COM
piance with a request from tle
men.
Frank IIefferly, also a. United
Mine Workers organizer, told the
miners that the company statement
that the wage reduction was made
in order to bring down the price or
coal was false.
s'It was proved at the hearings
of the Colorado industrial commls-
sion in this matter" sale Hefteriy'
"by testimony of one OF the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company nine
superintendents that the cost OF
producing a ton of coal in his mine
was S2.G4. He also testified that
the company sold the same coal ior
S6 ton at the tipple (. o. b, nine,
which means that the company
makes profit of over SO a ton for
every ton of coal you men produce.
"Now II the company really
wants somebody to believe it seeks
to lower the price Of coal isn't 1t
reasonable to ask that the redue-
tion be begun by cutting off some
of that profit?"
Reports coming into Walsenburg
tonight from all over the southern
Colorado field indicate that about
three-fourths of the miners did not
report for work this morning, when
a reduction in wages of pproxi-
mately 80 per cent went into effect
No disturbance had been report
ed from any point in the district.
Company officials tonight said
thev regarded the situation as en-
couraging, while union leaders said
every Colorado Frel and Iron COM
pany mine in the district would be
idle before the end of the week.

HERB|GGERNAVY
Admiral Baron KatO Claims
Nippon Wishes More
Than 60 Per Cent Ton
age Of Two Big Powers,
WOULD ASK RIGHT TO
BUILD DEFENSIVE SHIPS
Toxic Seems to Desire Re-
tention of BattIeShip
MutSu and Permit to
Construct More Cruisers
CBy The Associated Press.J

Washington, Nov. II (by the AS
sociated Press. Admiral Baron
Kato, head of the Japanese dele
CATION to the armament confer
ence. announced today that Japan
would ask modification of the
American naval limitation pro-
gram which would permit Japan TO
maintain a general tonnage
slightly greater than 60 per cent
OF that of each of the other two
powers.
Japan would ask, Baron Kato
said, for the right to maintain "a
type of vessel of strictly defensive
character" with tonnage approx
mating that maintained by the 9TH
er two powers.
The statement issued by Baron
Kato said
because of her geographical
position. Japan deems it only fair
at the present time that the other
interested countries should agree
that she should maintain a pro-
portion in general tonnage slightly
greater than 60 per cent, and, In
a type of vessel of strictly defensive
character, she might desire even
TO approximate that of the greater
navies."
Baron Kato's statement was
made at a conference with news
paper correspondents but he
would not give details as to the
notifications his delegation would
suggest, saying this was for the
conference to discuss. 1t was as
sumed. however, that the slightly
greater tonnage the japanese de-
sired would include the battleship
Mutsu, probably Just commits
stoned, and that the type of defen-
sive vessel referred to was light
cruiser suitable for policing waters
of the far east against pirates and
the like.
The Mutsu is a ship of some
$4,000 tons, armed with eight six
teen-iuch rifles. She is compare
BILE to the American Maryland
class and according to Secretary
Hughes program, each nation
wousd retain but one ship in this
class. Great Britain has no bat
tleship of this type. If the Mutsu
is later added to the ships Japan
is to retain, she will make the Sec
ond sixteen-inch gun ship for Ja-
pan, and it was assumed that it
this was granted the American
delegation would desire to retain
the West Virginia of similar char
to be launched Satur-
day.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
OF DAYS DEVELOPMENTS In
CONFERENCE TO LIMIT ARMS

Washington, Nov. II (by the AS
|sociated Press. )--Far eastern nego-
tiations awaited the reply of Japan
to China's declaration OF, rights, and
the American move for limitation
OF naval armament is slowing up
because of objections raised by both
Japan and Great Britain.
Discussion of the Far Eatsern
problems were advanced by the big
nine today to the point of an agree
ment that a general exchange. Of
views on Chiras program, should
precede any consideration of spe-
cific points Such general pre-
|sentation of views Japan was un-
prepared TO make, and the big.nino
adjourned until Saturday
Meantime Japan made known
her desire TO modify the American
plan of naval limitation to give her
a Slightly greater relative
strength, and the opposition of the
British to the submarine quota sug-
gested by the United States gave
es idence of such determination as
to attract attention of all delegates.
The days work seemed to indi-
cate that the first impetus of the
conference was giving way to
period of more deliberate discus
sion which might preclude the pos
sibility Of outstanding develop
ments for the immediate future.
Plans were made, however, to
tackle the third big job of the con-
fe 'ence, the Limitation of land arm
ament early next week at an open
session at which Premier BRAND
will make far reaching declara-
tion of the views Of France.
The big mines session on Far
Eastern questions today was largely
given over to a discussion of the
of procedure. The decision
to permit each power to present
statement before meeting
to settle specific problems is under
stood to have had the endorsement
of all the heads of delegations, al
though Japan made 1t plain she
accepted the Chinese plan only "as
a basis of discussion" It was de-
cided also that when specific points
are reached, the Chinese ten
points" are to be interlaced with
the items of the American agenda
in determining details of proceed
ure.
A contributing factor to the two
days delay was said to be the i'll
ness OF Baron Shidehara, japanese
ambassador. who is in charge of
Far Eastern problems for his gov
ernment, 1t was understood the
time required to communicate with !
Toxic and the delegation Of the
Japanese to give most careful eX-
animation to the Chinese proposals, |

iiate statement OF Japan's views |

when this petition is ready 1t will
be given to tho public as an evil
fence Of Japan's willingness to |
proceed with the discussion in the |
open.

which has been understood to he !

pese problems. continued its ST.

clared their willingness to give up
extra territorial privileges and
their lease to Kauang Toheou pro-
vided their governments title to
Indo-China was unquestioned. For
China's aspirations they expressed
sympathy but they also indicated
Japan's need Of expansion in some
quarter could not be minimized.
Formal announcement by Ad-
mira Baron Kato that JapaT
would ask for greater proportion
of strength than had been pro-
posed for her in the American
plan became tonight the center of
attention in the naval armament
negotiations. Making the first ex-
planaticn of the reservations with
which Japan accepted the plan,
Baron Kato also announced that
his government desired the right to
possess at least one ship of the
most formidable defensive type in
cluded in the armaments of Great
Britain and the United States. He
explained that he did not refer TO
submarines, but would not indi-
his mind.
The view behind the British OBJ
jections is that the quota of 10000
tons in submarines suggested by
the American plan for both Great
Britain and the United States IS
far too large. The British, in fact,
would like to see the submarine
abandoned entirely, but there are
considerations of national defense
which iinpel the American dele
gates TO hold determinedly to the
figure they first proposed. Late
today the question was discusse
by the American delegation with
Theodore Roosevelt, the American
representative Of the conference
committee of naval experts. but
there was no indication of a re-
cession by either the United States
or Great Britain.
The improbability of a decision
in the near future was indicated by
the announcement today that three
or four days more would be Sc
quired to complete the British case
for presentation to the naval COM
mittec. In the interim the ques
ton is receiving the lively interest
OF all delegations, and when the
committee meets to take up the
detailed Views Of the five powers
it may find before it n mass of
data and argument that it will
take weeks to assess.

MENNONITE COLONIST
MOVE TO MEXICO TO
START IN DECEMBER

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 17.-One OF
the largest vibrations of Christian
people of modern history is thar
of about 100000 Mennonites, $4,000
families, from Canaca TO Mexico,
which will begin in December
Their trek is expected to last two
years.
The Mennonites for the past
year have been looking for a new
home, claiming unjust treatment In
Canada during the world war.
Eight nations have invited them
J and "sharps," boomers" and
others have tried to influence
them.
..fter a dozen trips to Mexico.
during which representatives con-
ferred with President Alvaro Obre-
gon and officials of the Mexican
immigration service, the leaders
almost decided to settle in Mexico.
Then editorials from various
sources, save Mexican, declared
the Mennonites were making a
mistake" that religious freedom
which they sought could not be
guaranteed them under the Mexi-
can constitution. Another trip was
made to Mexico and state and ma
tional governments assured the
Mennonites that they could wor-
ship God as they pleased, that they
could hold all the tenets of their
religion and could enter that coun-
try and make their permanent
home.
Canadian Mennonites hold the
same belief as early members OF
the sect who settled in the United
States-that OF non-resistance,
The Mennonites, in defending their
belief, declared that they suffered
less In the early days at the hands
OF the Indians than did others who
waged warfare against the savages
Tho Mennonites still refuse TO en-.
ter any war.
Another peculiar custom of these
people is the washing or feet. They
say that the command of Christ to
the woman to wash His feet stands
on the same spiritual level as H
acts OF distributing food and drin'
TO the hungry and thirsty.
