Miners and NINE owners mao Deen set
for IL o'clock tomorrow morning, at the
board of trade and meantime all Ques-
tons of action by the railWayCen and
transport workers, who together with
the miners who form the triple alliance,
had been temporarily suspended.
London, April 6th.-At the meeting
of the triple alliance this afternoon, at
which it had been intended to determine
what action should be taken to support
the Miners, a decision was postponed.
Washington April 9th. Failure of the
United States TO ratify the treaty of
Versailles will not be allowed to detract
from the Country's right to participate
in che peace settlement Secretary Hughes
declared in notes addressed to Great
britain, France, Italy and Japan. The
Note to Japan differed from the other
three in that it referred more specifically
to the Japanese mandate over the island
of zap. All four of them reiterated the
contention that the United States has
sacrificed no rights in the peace settle
ment by reason OF its unWillingness to
ioin the League of Nations.
Paris, April 9th Communication
of considerable length from Mr.. Hughes
United States Secretary of State, has
been received by the French Foreign
Office through the United States En-
bassy here. The document which the
date of April 4th, affirms the righls of
the United States in all settlements aris-
ing from the war. Identical communi-
cations were sent to British and tia
liam Govts, it is understood, with
notice that the text will be is
sued at the Stat Department in
Washington Immediately after all the
interested Governments have received
it.. ''Percinax" Political Editor of the
Echo de Paris, who appears to have had
access to the note, declared he consid-
ers that it seems that the United States
declines recognizing any decision Of the
Allies in the Treaty of Versailles, or
taken by the Supreme Council or by the
League of Nations. He asserts that this
IS a grave attitude on the part Of the
United States. The note will not be
given out here until it has been made
public in Washington. 1t was learned
in official ci cles today that the communi-
cation bears principally Upon the action
of the Council of the League of Nations
last December, in approving the Man
dates passed upon that meeting, lnclud-
inc. the Japanese Mandate over the
north Pacific islands, including the is
land of zap, but it also outlines the
Policy of the Administration regarding
the questions arising from the war and

London, April 7th.-The resignation
of Sir Thomas White from the Canadian
House 0fzCommons is the subject of ed
itorial comment in several morning pa
pers. Appreciative reference is made
to his work as Canada's Finaned Minis
ter during the difficult days of the war
and the conspicuous ability he showed
in tapping unsupported reservoirs of
native credit to enable the domin-
ion to carry on her part in the great
conflict. The Times in a grateful tri-
butte to the Elk Minister speaks of his
power of persuasive speaking and bis
high repu. alton for rigid integrity.
Queenstown, Ireland. April 7th.-Na-
val units here and at other home ports
have been instructed, as a result of the
strike Ct British miners. to bold them
selves in readiness for emergency ser
vice. Shore leaves has been curtailed,
even officers being required to return to
their ships by eight thirty o'clock in the
evening. Naval officials view the situa-
ton as being fl ed with the gravest pos
slbilities. The question Of shifting large
numbers Of the Crown forces in Ire
land to England, if disorders ensue, has
been fully considered, it is understood,
and if such steps be taken, it is said.
the forces will probably include many
auxiliaries regarded as especially quail
fed by their work IN ireland to deal
with elements seeking to stir up trou-
BILE. Officials, however, are aware Of
the possibility that the Sim Fem
ers may take advantage Of he oprortuni-
ty offered by disorders in England, and
military authorities are reluctant to de
crease the forces in Ireland.
Dublin, April 7th.- Sim Fein yester-
day issued an official statement declaring
that Lord Edmund Bernard Talbot h $

and religion to successful propaganda

some OF the Catholic Bishops have favour

to the majority Of Sim Feiners and have

the intense satisfaction Of the Allies if
the United States is disposed to resume

Of war questions.

union who conferred with Mr.. Lloyd
George this morning, refused to order

AS a result of this refusal he miners
