AGAIN BREAK OUT
Police and Military in Armored
Cars PeWerless to Control
the Situation.
tsy Ths Assoelased PROM,

BELFAST, July IA fierce gun
duel was fought in the York street
and North Queen street areas tonight.
Sniping which began this morning
continued almost throughout the en-
tire day, developing early this even-
ing into sharp fighting in which the
police and military were obliged to
take hand. Several civilians Were
wounded.
After seven o'clock tonight the po-
lice and military in armored cars Were
virtually powerles to cope with the
shooting. Streets were closed to traf-
fic, tramway service was suspended
and only motor cars carrying people
on most urgent business ventured on
the streets. These took the precau-
tion of travelling at top speed.
Ambulance workers We're kept busy
taking wounded persons to hospitals.

WTTHHOLDS ASSENT
DISCUSSION OF FAR
EASTERN QUESTION
May Develop Hitch in Presi-
dents Plan to Reduce
Armament.
AMERICAN OFFICIALS
ARE VERY OPTIMISTIC
Believe That a Way Will Be
Found For Solution Ac-
ceptabIe to Japan.
lnx The AssoeIated Press.l

WASHINGTON, July 14.--Japan is
ready to enter the disarmament con-
ference but withholds assent to an
unrestricted discussion Of far eastern
questions as part of 1t. The view
point Of the American government is
that a solution of the Far Eastern
questions Is necessary accompani-
ment to any disarmament program.
Thus develops the first hitch,-if a
hitch 1t turns out to be in President
Of the heavy ornaments and then re-
duce the armament Itself.
The American officials. however, are
optimistic that a way will be found
for a satisfactory conference 10 which
Japan will be party and for pro-
gram of armament reduction accept
able to all.
The Japanese reply to the prelim-
mary question OF whether she would
receive an invitation to such con-
ference came to the state department
today through the American embassy
at Toxic. It's text was not made public
and department officials declined to re-
veal it's contents except to say that
1t expressed approval of the disarma-
ment discussion, but did not agree to
q consideration OF the Pacific problems.
During the day however, it became
known that the attitude of the Japan
ese government was known to the
gavernment here. This attitude Is that
The disarmament question is vast
one in itself, and If other questions
are introduced into the field of dis
-ussion the conference may be so
broadened as to endanger it's success.
Japanese officials are said to feel this
10 be particularly true If the questions
80 introduced are to affect the delicate
balance of diplomatic relations in the
orient. There is manifest in Toxic a
belief that such a debate might open
M a landlords box of troublesome
diplomatic intricacies which would set
FOR Mr.. Harding's conference a task
Of reimbursement even greater than that
attempted by the peace conference OF
Versailles.
The alternative, in the belief Of
Japanese statesmen would be to agree
beforehand on exactly what questions
win form the subject matter of the
discussion. To this is opposed the
opinion Of American officials that If
ali the nations first agree to come
into the conference whatever limita-
lions appeared advisable could be
axed by general assent afterward.
Just what viii be the next step OF
The president and his advisers did not
appear tonight. China having accepted
the invitation unconditionally during
the day, however, all of the invited
rowers were on record as agreeing at
least to discuss disarmament, and 1t
was the apparent purpose of the state
department to regard the assembling
Of the meeting as assured and to pro-
ceed IN due course to issue notes OF
Invitation In more formal character.

WASHINGTON, July 14-Reduction
of the enlisted strength of the army
to 10000 will be accomplished with
out changing the basic organization
and in manner which will provide
for a rapid expansion in time of emer-

department. Orders have been sent to
all field commanders, outlining the
system to be followed as decided upon
by the general staff.
A number of units will be placed

viii be designated on the active list
as their guardian or parent organiza
tions. The plan provides that the en-
listed personnel of the inactive units
viii. be transferred to the active units
and as many commissioned officers as
are available viii remain assigned to
the inactive units, but will be assigned
to such duties as may be necessary.
Commanding officers of units des-
ignated to act as guardians win secure

restored to the active list and brought
up to authorized strength It may le-

The commanding officer of the ac-

WASHINGTON, July 14-President
Harding's proposal that the soldier
bonus bill be recommitted to the fl
nance committee was the basis of tur-
bulent debate in the senate today,
charges of "dictation" being advanced
by democrats and denied by republi-
cans. BY agreement the vote on re-
committal will be taken tomorrow.
In preparation for final action, Sem
ator Kenyon, republican, Iowa, offered
an amendment which would instruct
the finance committee to report back
the bill early in January. Opposition
was Immediately voiced from both
Sides Senator Borah, republican, Ida
no, characterizing the suggestion as

Allied debts, tariff and tax revision

(5y The Associated Pr,ss.l

LONDON, July 14.-Premier Lloyd
George held a council of ministers at
the house of commons tonight to dis
cuss his meeting with Mr.. De Valera.
Later he proceeded to a dinner of the
liberal coalitionists, where he received
a great ovation. Apoligizing for his
late appearance, he said he had been
engaged in important tasks during the
day and after discharging them had
to meet his colleagues and report to
his sovereign, who, he declared, was
taking very keen and close interest
in the proceedings and to whose inter-
vention so much was attributable.
With reference to Ireland, Mr.. Lloyd
George besought his audience not to
attempt him into an indiscretion.
"The less said, the better at this
stage" declared the premier. sbut
there is a great fact--that Mr.. De-
Valera, chieftain of the vast ma jority
of the Irish race, has been in confer
ence for nearly three hours, with the
prime minister OF this country, dis
cussing various methods and sugges-
tions for the settlement of this long.

ages long number of disastrous blum
ders, and endless opportunities lost.
Let us trust that this one will not
be lost. I can only say, after the long
discussion, that am certain we shall
do our best to secure peace. Beyond

this moment because we both have our
difficulties to deal with"

president of the United States to dis

He went on to say: II am hopeful
that it viii result in pact of peace
that will make the Pacific a really
Pacific ocean. also trust that It will
lead to useful discussion of the prob
lem of disarmament upon which so
much depends for the future of our
race, because it matters not what
treaties are signed. what pacts are
entered into between nations, what
understandings they may establish; it
makes no difference what leagues or
associations they may found. if nations
arm against each other for war, war
will ensue in the end.
Therefore no treaty is of value un-
less it leads to an understanding
among nations that they will not util-
ize their resources, their wealth and
their strength for the purpose of de-
veloping the mechanism of human
slaughter amongst themselves. I am

Unions Counsel Lay Blame on
Imported Gunmen Used
By Mine Company.
MINERS TERMED AS
- BAND OF ROBBERS
Mine Operators Claim Both
Legal and Moral Right to
Work Non Union Men.

(sy The Associated Pre=sY


WASHINGTON, July 14.-ConfIict-
ing accounts of the causes of recent
disturbances in the 1Iingo, West Vir-
ginia, coal fields were given to the
senate investigating committee today
by representatives of the miners and
mine owners.
Neil Burkenshaw, appearing as
counsel for the miners union, said a.
lockout" had been put into effect by
the mine operators about a year ago
and that this had been followed by
eviction of workers from company
houses and erection of tent cities to
house ten thousand workers and their
families. Burkenshaw's charge that
continuation of guerrilla warfare had
resulted from importation of gunmen
by the operators who had "set aside
the constitutional rights Of their EN-
ployes, was Immediately denied by
representatives of the mine owners.
L. Taylor Vinson, speaking for the
operators, said Burkenshaw's state
ment would be challenged by the evil
dence and overthrown by the facts"
He attacked the United Mine Work
ers as "a band of robbers who have
adopted policy of taking the Mines
away from their owners. Mr.. Yinson
said that the Mingo coal fields, in
spite Of conditions, was today operat-
ing at 80 per cent capacity, and its
mine operators have both a legal and
moral right to employ no men awho
join this union. 4
Fred Mooney, secretary of the anine
workers district union, testified Sthat
$2,400,000 had been spent in the NJ ago
field by the international union s''for
relief" He denied that any of 5shis
fund had been used to purchase arms
and ammunition for strikers.
Mooney said he and other leaders of
the miners generally carried pistols"
when they went into Mingo, but
charged that the operators maintained
arsenals.
Deaths of 81 men had resulted IN
desuitory fighting during the year,
'five of them state policemen, shot
in the back from ambush" vinson
said, but Mooney said "at least one
union man" had been killed as well.
Frank Ingram, a negro, said he had
been arrested for no stated cause,
beaten and left for dead on the road.
1t was in an endeavor to "get him to
renounce unionism," he added. The
hearing will be continued tomorrow

ed witnesses on each side
