CAMPAIGN
DELAYING RUSS RELIEF
STATES COMMISSIONER
tBy Associated Press)

GENEVA, Sept. 30.-Charges that a
systematic campaign was being waged
to put oostructions in the way of in
ternational relief for Russia, by inter-
ests which had political objects in
view, we're made in the assembly OF
the league today by DR.. Fridtjof Nam
sen, high commissioner of the interna-
tional committee for Russian relief.
Dr. Nansen's charge was made in a
speech which he delivered after the
assembly had decided on a report pre-
sented by Delegates Motta, of Switzer-
land, that the league could not under.
take an appeal to the nations of the
world for funds to feed Russia.
DR.. Nansen, aroused by this action,
made a lengthy appeal to the assem-
bly, on behalf of Russian relief. He
claimed there had been misrepresenta
ton in some sections of the press re
garding his plans for relief.
Alleges Misrepresentation
The whole situation was being sys
tematically misrepresented, he declar
ed and it was perfectly evident that
this campaign came from some cen
trail source, from someone who had q
political interest in obstructing Rus
sian relief.
DR.. Nansen said he thought this
campaign was due to fear in some
quarters that relief for Russia would
strengthen the Soviet government.
He did not think that such would
be the case, but even if it should be

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. The
agreement reached between President
Harding and Senator Willis of Ohio,
a few days ago, in regard to the dis
tribution of Ohio patronage, will re-
suit in Willis withdrawing his oppo-
sition to the confirmation of nomina-
tions for appointment to several i'm
portant federal positions in Ohio,
which nominations have been heh
up in the senate for some time.

patronage has been distributed on the

nee. it is understood the president has
assured the senator that his own can
didates for the same positions will be
satisfa ctorily taken care Of else

of the foremost attorneys IN the Buck

lican convention last year he was
floor leader for Mr. Harding. Soon
after Harding assumed the presidency

idle MINERS FLOCK
TO See union HEAD
BEGIN JAIL Sentence
CBy Associated Press)

PITTSBURGH, Kans.. Sept. 30-All
coal mines of the Kansas district were
idle today, coincident with the appear
ance at Columbus of Alexander Ho-
wat and August Dorchy, president and
vice-president of the Kansas union
coal miners, to begin serving their
sentence of six months in Jail for call
ing strike last February, according
to headquarters of the Operators as
sociation here.
COLUMBUS, Kas.. Sept 30.-kan-
sas coal miners flocked today to the
little district courtroom here, where
their union president Alexander NJ.
Howat and vice-president August
Dorchy, were scheduled to appear.
The mine workers themselves made
a holiday of the occasion and many
came in from the fields in chartered
cars. Although no official statement
was forthcoming that the men pro
posed to strike in the event their lead
ers went to jail. belief was expressed
by John Flaming, member of the I'm
ions district executive board that a
Walkout was almost certain.
Ignore Industrial Court.
In their statements that they pro.
posed to serve the Jail sentences Ho-
wat and Dorchy took the position that
to furnish the bond would constitute
recognition of the industrial court.
We are willing to stay in Jail until
Industrial court law is taken off the
statute books and the miners of the
district are wiling to remain on strike
until that time, if the other miners of
the country support them" said Ho
wat
The controversy between officials OF
the Kansas miners and the industrial
court has been in progress almost
constantly since the legislature passed
the law creating the tribunal. Howat
has insistently refused to recognize
the court or obey its mandates. The
industrial court law provides that
strikes may not be called in indus
tries producing commodities regarded
as essential to the general welfare.
