HOPES Of RUSSIA
BLASTED BY u. S.
PLEA FOR TRADE RESUMPTION
REJECTED BY HARDING
SOWETS MUST MAKE GOOD
Only by Satisfactory Performances
In Future Can They Win Bust
ness Relations with America.

Washington, d. president Hard
tng formally rejected the Russian So
Wet governments overtures for the
resumption of trade relations with the
United States.
The announcement was made by
Secretary of State Hughes, following
the cabinet meeting when the Russian
question was discussed and the decl'
sion reached that official resumption OF
commercial relations would produce
no appreciate trade with a country
which is being progressively impov-
erished' by the communist economic
system.
Production, the administration
holds, is conditioned upon the safety
OF life, recognition of the guarantees
II, private property, sanctity OF n
tract and rights of free labor, and UNI
Gil the soviet government effects
changes in its system which estab
fishes a sound foundation for produc-
ton and commerce, the United States
will be unwilling to consider a renew
al of trade relations.
The question of recognizing the So
Wet government and the defacto, IL
not the dejure government OF Russia
is no directly involved in the Russian
proposals and was not passed upon.
The decision of the administration
was communicated to Litvinoff, the
soviet envoy at Reval, Esthonia, In the
following statement.
THE government OF the United
and grave concern the plight OF the
people of Russia and desires to aid
by every appropriate means in pro.
moting proper opportunities through
which can be established
upon a sound basis. 1t is manifest to
this government that in existing cir
cumstances there is no assurance for
the development of trade, as the sup
plies which Russia might now be able
10 obtain would be wholly inadequate
10 meet her needs and no lasting good
can come so long as the present caus-
es of progressive impoverishment con.
tinue to operate.
1T is only in the productivity OF
Russia that there Is any hope for the
Russian people. and it is idle to ex
pect resumption of trade until the
economic bases of production are Sc
curely established. Production is
conditioned upon the safety of life, the
recognition by firm guarantees OF pri-
vate property, the sanctity of contract
and the rights of free labor. IL funda-
mental changes are contemplated, In
volving due regard for the protection
OF persons and property and the es-
adjustment of conditions essential to
the maintenance Of commerce, this
government will be glad to have con-
vincing evidence of the consumption
OF such changes, and until this ev-
idence is supplied this government is
unable to perceive that there is any
proper basis for considering trade re-
l~ations."

CARD OF THANKS.

We feel deeply grateful for the
sympathy of our friends and the
community, so generously extended in
our recent sorrow and bereavement; a
sympathy beautifully expressed in the
nameless tender ways that soothe and
comfort in distrss and grief; the
touch of gentle hand, the tone of a
kindly voice, the unspoken thought of
a floral offering. These were ours
in rich measure, and in the fulness of
our gratitude, we wish publicly to ex-
press our heartfult appreciation of the
many thoughtful deeds and words
that ministered to our little daughter
in her agony, and came as a solace to
our wounded spirits.

Bandit Holds Up
 Seven Clerks In
 Railway Mail Car
[RepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIn1

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 5-Au- thorlties announced late tonight they were without definite clues as to a masked man who boarded an Atchi- son, Topeka & Santa Fe passenger train from California near Ottawa Junction, Kan, early today and footed the mail car after compelling a mail clerk to bind six of his fellow work CTS. Contents of eight sacks of mail were taken. No estimate of the value of the haul was available.
 The robbery occurred while the train had stopped at the junction for coal. The man. according to the clerks, apparently boarded the train at Quenemo, Kan. Masked and armed, the bandit ordered the six clerks to put up their hands. He took a revolver from F. F. Doudna of Kansas City, who was in charge of the registered mail pouches. Then he compelled Doudna to tie the others with wire.
 Forcing the clerks to lie on the floor. the robber spent almost an hour ransacking the registered mail pouches. He leaped from the train when it reached Holiday.
 The mail clerks were tied with wire.
 Earl Doudna, the clerk selected to truss up the others. was the only man in the mail car who was authorized to carry firearms. The robber at once selected him, the other clerks said, as the man to cover most carefully with his pistol.

FOCH GRATEFUL F0R RECEPTION II HIM DURING ANE ER|CAN VISIT
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

CHICAGO, Nov. 5-Nati9nal and international unity of ideals, with a united execution of the duties which those ideals involve was declared to the the greatest need of a war weary world by Marshal Foeh. who tonight expressed to Chicago his appreciation of Americas reception to him.
 We have but one thing to remem- Der out of this war" he told a mass meeting tonight. That is, where na- tions are united no force can stop their forwa d march. With a clear execution of our duties we can se- cure what the world needs most-a just peace"
 The speech came after a day that was crowded with ceremony and plaudits. Acclaimed as a world hero wherever he went, the climax came before a huge throng tonight after the French party had been the guests at banquet.
 Marshal Foch expressed his grat- ification of the greeting which Amer ica gave him and said he understood it as an expression of satisfaction that the armies under his command had done what you wished them to do." He declared that victory came not from unity of command. but from a unity of feeling-a unity of ideals.
 From the men in the first line to the man furthest back there was one idea-victory," said Marshal Foch. Therefore, we chiefs had but to lead forward those elements which came from every direction with but one thought That unity of clements is needed now in obtaining a lasting peace"
 The military display during his visit to the Tinted States in peace time impressed Marshal Foch so much that he commented
 Look! Soldiers everywhere," he said to National Commander Han ford MacNider of the American Le- zion as they were reviewing troops parading in his h, nor and who had acted as his escort.
 Commander MacNider explained that this is not a military country. notwithstanding the array of sol- diery which has met the marshal in every city he has visited.
 Marshal Foeh smiled.
 At the University of Chicago the honorary degree of doctor of laws was conferred on the marshal. At Lincoln park he laid a wreath at the feet of the Lincoln statue. Tomor- row the marshal will become a Knight of Columbus, making the one mlll1onth man to have become such knight. A monster Knights of Co., lumbus demonstration is planned.

COLORADO MINERS
 THREATEN ID WALK
 OUT F WAGES CUT
rRepubIican A. p. Leased wireI

DENVER, Nov. 5-A walkout of all union miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company coal mines in Colorado was the threat of officials of the United Mine Workers of dis triet I5 if the company attempts to put in effect a 30 per cent wage re- auction authorized today by the state industrial commission.
 While the reductions are author. ized by the commission in only II of the company's mines in the state, John P. McLennan, president of the United Mine Workers of the district, indicted today in a statement at Pueblo that the men would be called out in all the company's mines if the wage cut is put in effect at single mine.
 Approximately 5000 men are em- ployed in all the mines of the com pany in Colorado and approximately ? TOO are employed at the II mines where the wage reductions are au thoriZed.
 The reduction would put the min ers' pay back to the scale of 1917 This would reduce the scale of day men from $7.75 to $5.25 a day and the scale of pick miners would be reduced 24 cents a ton. The present scale is $1.04 and $1.07 depending on the location of the mine.
 An attempt was made by the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company on Sept. to put the 1917 scale into effect in F of it's mines in Huerfano and Las Animas counties. This was followed by walkouts tha spread during the next 10 days to all of the companys mines in the state. The industrial commission took Jurisdiction in the case and after a two day hearing at Walsenburg ordered the former wage scale restored and compelled the men to return to work
