COMMONS VOTES TO PROCEED
 WITH IRISH NEGOTIATIONS

London. Oct. 3i.-CBy the A P)-- The government obtained its txpected mandate from the house of commons to- night to proceed with the Irish neEoila- tions. The unionist motion, eensurins the government for initiating the rlsn negotiations, was voted down sss to %.
 The premier also achieved another or bis oratorical victories before an e1- pectant audience. So far as the move meut Of protest vas designed to draw information assto the proceedings of the conference. 1t failed. the premier gave no Information as 10 what has been de- cided. or is being discussed regarding Mir De Valera's claim 10 independence anr the rumored attempts 10 arrange concessions from Ulster for united Ire land.
 One piece Of information the premier did give It was that unless soriethins bappened within a few days. presuua- blv in the conference. to solve the unset lied status of Ireland's two governments. steps would be taken to give the Ulster parliament the powers necessary to make it a real government.
 Mir. Lloyd George declared that the time to question the negotiations was when he first proposed them to the Sinn Fein by public correspondence, last July Much of his speech was devoted to hold IlE before the commons AhE FAA1f1~N VT renewal of guerilla warfare if ths conference broke down.
 He declared the first thing the govern ment would have to do would be to ask the house to strengthen the crows | forces, but pointed out the cos of re- newed warfare and the reluctance of the country to incur greater taxation and ask more younger men to risk their lives. He asserted the governmen-s resolve to refuse concessions which would weaken the empire, but to ex- plore all paths to an honorable reace' and emphasized the fact that any agree ment must be ratified by parliament
 The motion was proposed by Colonel John Gretton. unionist, and seconded by Ruprt S. Gwynne. No conspicuous lead CTS spoke in it's support Those who most strongly advocated the policy ot l the motion laid much stress on their protests against negotiating with men who had denied allegiance to the crown.
 Arthur Henderson. in behalf of the la- borites, explained tha tthst party fa- vored the negotiations. although oppos- ing what he termed the previous policy of repression and retaliation.
 | Ex-PTemier Asquith supported the governments motion, but deprecated the suggestion that renewal of the war was the only alternative if the conferences failed. This point of view finds adher- ents among a section of the Irish ex- perts, who believe that a breakdown Of the conference might be followed by 2 continuance of the truce, pending fur ther efforts of diplomacy.
 The comment of one veteran parlia- mentsrian was that Mir. Lloyd Georges talk of further war was not intended as
 a warning to the Sim Sein. but to par liament not to harass those engaged in the negotiations

INJUN CTION APPLIES TO UNION
 COAL MINERS AND OPERATORS

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 31.-Collection of funds of the United Mine Workers of America through the ''checil-off'' system, by which union membership dues are de- ducted from miners wages by operators throughout the country, was enjoined to- day by Federal Judge A. B. Anderson. Further, his order enjoined all union of ficials and members from seeking "by any and all means to unionize the Will liamson coal field in West Virginia, where violence has marked the strike that began more than a year ago. The order is a temporary one. but effective until changed by the court
 Vain effort was made in court by coun- sel for the union to forestau the decree placing a ban on the "check-off'' and though officers withheld comment on the court order. it was said officially to be a staggering blow at the union. Counsel for operators in the hearing preceding ! the order had said that a strike might follow the levying of a ban on the "check-off." After issuance of the order, reports from Knox county, one big In- di2na producing center, said that 5000 miners planned mass meetings to deter mine their stand. The order itself indi- cated the possibility of many contracts l between miners and operators being broken by the ban on the 'check-off.'' f.'' | In giving his opinion, Judge Anderson 1 made it plain that he believed a con spiracy in violation of the Sherman anti ] trust law had been shown at the hearing for the temporary injunction in the suit 1 of Borderland Coal corporation. acting on behalf of three score other West Nir | ginia operators. This conspiracy the | court said, existed between the unior | miners and operators in the central com. petitive field, comprising Illinois, Indiana Ohio and western Pennsylvania, anG and that the closed shop operators o other states were as involved because O the ''check- off" He added that the trou ble in West Virginia was due to an at tempt to bring the only competitive fielC
 into the commission.
 How does this strike the man in tn street?" he asked. Here is an organ
 ization with enormous funds, all O
 which are collected by the operator through the check-off. The poor old con
 sumner. without friend in the world i
 milzed constantly by these operators ant
 miners. I am going to stop this check
 off now. These operators know now tha they are furnishing the sinews of wa
 for that struggle in West Virginia
 The court order as finally agreed upo after an all-day discussion of court an
 counsel as to the exact text, did not den
 the right of workers to organize, or llol
 that the union was an unlawful organ
 ization It also did not hold tn , "check-off'' was in itself unlawful, bu was aimed at the use of money obtaine
 through it.
 However, the order was of a sweepin
 nature, applying to every operator in tn country having agreements Tor tn

 A mixup came just before adjournment this afternoon when, by motion of a Missouri delegate, permission was sought for a representative of the Missouri Wo- mems Christian Temperance Union to address the convention. The motion was rejected, on an aye and nay vote on the ground that speech dealing with temperance would be partisan and i'm proper. Later J. W. Inzer of Chattanoo- ga.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE MEETS TO-DAY

St. Louis, Oct. 31 (by the A. P.)- Democratic national committeemne, here tonight for the first committee meeting tomorrow since the campaign of a year ago. were discussing at some length whether Chairman George White of Ma rietta, Ohio, will be succeeded by an other or retain the chairmanship for am other year.
 Chairman White today issued a for nal statement III which he said he has no idea of submitting his resignation at this time unless all clements of the par. ty can agree upon someone to succeed me-"
 There will be harmonious reorgan- ization fo the committee" said John F. Costello, committeeman from the District of Columbia.

speaker continued. The president to- day" he said, seems to say by his acts that the way to disarm is 10 dlsarm. Even so, his clear vision is dimmed by no illusion. None knows better than he that the tradzionS of centuries cannot be swept aside over night, none more fully realizes that to attempt too much is to jeopardize the prospect of any ful- iillment"
 Whatever the outcome of the Washing ton deliberations. the ambassador de. clared, conditions cannot remain the same. With the ending of the conference will surely come 10 the hearts of hun dreds of millions either gladdenins hope or deepening despair. So, too, with tho relations of our beloved countries. The bonds of friendship and forbearance, which now hold us more closely together than ever before in a century, are bound to be strsightened or relaxed by what happens in Washington. If We cannot act in unison now there is slight reason 10 believe we ever can.
 The project of raising from the strain ing backs of peoples the burdens of great armaments offers line of less resistance than was ever before presented No less | essential is the removal of the causes of war which still hover over the Pacific. More difficult, but is not a happy augury to be found in the fact that all such possibilities have disappeared from the Atlantic.
 The Washington conference narks only the blazing of the trail. only ths begiAning. Yet greater works are a follow in fulfllment of the common as, pirations of all mankind, pursuant. we may well believe. to the design of AL mighty God"
