Lewis Plan IS
HARD hit IN
H()NAT Vote
Radical Kansas Miners Score
Heavily Over Interna-
tionaI President
COMEBACK PLANNED
Scheme of President Lewis to- Ap-
peal to Public Sympathy is lmperll-
ed

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16.-In a ses-
sion yesterday of the United Mine
Workers, marked by violent uproar,
the Kansas radicals under AleNander
Howat scored heavily against John l..
Lewis, president of the union.
Bv vote of or to S64, the dele
gates by a rising vote registered its
disapproval of a ruling by Lewis
which denied Howat the right to ap-
neal to the convention for restora-
ton of his membership in the union.
The vote was taken amid scene OF
intense excitement Threats Of physl-
cal violence were hurled about the
auditorium, and in the course OF the
debate Lewis charged that Kansas
extremists had deliberately plotted to
get" him during demonstration IN
the convention. Aiding Howat IN his
marshalino of the insurgent elements
was Frank harrington. head OF the
Illinois miners.
President Lewis plans comeback,
today. His people demanded Il roll
call. He himself processes confidence
that when only accredited delegates
vote he will win by an easy margin.
And if ne wins he thinks the pubic
will be treasured against fears tnac
the Howat extremists are actually IN
control OF the miners organization. he
feels sure that the plan Of campaign
based on the report of the scale COM
mittec will be protected.
In the meantime, however. 1t IS re.
copniZcd that the carefully conceived
plan of Mr.. Lewis and his associates
20 win the favor of public opinion over
the coal operators has been enda1ger-
ed. and the whole conduct OF the pego-
tiations with the operators between
now and March Is, and of the strike
that probably will be called as OK
April |. has been thrown into douot.
The situation may get completely ouC
Of the hands of the moderates.
Howat. whom Lewis expelled from
the union for refusal to call OFT un-
authorized strikes, appeared on the
floor of the convention today ana ask
ed that the convention pass on MS
case. He and Lewis engaged III a run
ming debate, which ended when Lewis
ruled his plea out Of order.
Howat appealed from the chars de"
cision. Lewis decided to let the con-
vcntion vote on the appeal. although
holding that Howat had no standlrG
in the convention, He and Howat made
set arguments. The convention was
amazed when Howat won.
Few either of the miners leaders or
of the coal operators watching the
convention from the side lines belleve
that negotiations can go far enough
under the Lewis plan by March 81 to
prevent strike.

Oppose Juvenile Court

The following letter mas been re-

itself:
Hon. James Duncan,
Mayor.
Alexandria, Va.
Dear Mr.. Duncan:
note that you have been appointed
one of committee to go to Richmond
to oppose the establishment Of Ju-
vcnilc Court in the State. This is to

Courts are largely responsible Tor

In the wOve of crime sweeping the
I United States we are paying the pen.
atty for quarter of a century OF
wallowing in maudlin sentiment.
Juvenile Courts, as administered,
are doing much greater harm than
good. 1t is notable that many of the
most startling crimes Of today are
committed by very young men. These
are the boys who ten years ago were
being put on probation, parolcd, Civ
cn suspended sentences and the like

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 16.-Republican
members of the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Senate COM
mittee on Commerce have informed
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board that they approve in sub
stance what is known as the Hard
ing-Lasker plan for direct and indi-
rect subsidies for the American mer-
chant marine. The Committee men,
bers urged Lasker to have the
President get the plan before Con-
gress as soon as possible, and it is
understood that the Executive will go
before joint session sometime next
week.
Under the direct subsidy plan it is
understood that payments would be
made direct to American vessels.
The payments would be graduated in
accordance with the speed Of the
vessel, the minimum payment being
one-half cent for each ton for each
one hundred miles. 1t was estima-
ted that an appropriation of $780,
100000 would be necessary to carry
out this part Of the program.
The indirect subsidy would pro-
vide for giving the American mail
and a percentage of American i'm
migration to American vessels. The
plan would also provide for prefer
entail rail rates on goods carried i'll
Americans bottoms.
A plan to pay the soldier bonus
ont of the current revenues OF the
government through savings effected
in cutting down the military estab-
lishment and in cutting down the
general expenses of the government
was being worked out today by the
House Ways and Means Committee.
1t is understood that the plan has
the endorsement of the President
and that his letter to the Committee
will outline in detail plan for pay
ing the bonus by such means.
While the details of the plan have
not yet been worked out, it is
known that the plan involves the
using of the savings of the current
year effected by General Dawes to
pay the first cost of the soldiers
bonus. Up to this time this saving
