LONG STRUGGLE
OFFICIALS SAY
No Hope Is Seen Of Any
Developments ForeStaII-
Ing the Coal Strike Set

CAN CONTINUE FIGHT
INDEFINITELY, CLAIM
WaIkout in the Anthracite
Fields May Be Averted
By Negotiating An Ac-
CeptabIe Scale of Wages,
lRy enc AasocIaled pres.l

Indianapolis, Ind, March % =
Without hope apparently of any
developments forestalling the coal
strike set for April / officials Of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea here tonight declared that tho
miners were ready for general
suspension of many wecl& dura-
tion. None, however. would pre-
dict how long the walkout would
continue, asserting that their fight
could continue indefinitely.
While no official forecast of the
length of the strike was made, IT
was indicated authoritatively that
the union officials felt that any
wage conference with operators OF
the central competitive field was
doubtful until the big coal stocks
now on hand had been depleted.
Operators here said the stocks on
hand would meet the country's re-
quirements for two months, and
that meanwhile non-union fields
could supply almost half of the
normal demand,
While the strike in the soft coal
fields hinges on the situation in the
central competitive field, which is
the unions basis for ages Of all
soft coal districts, the strike in
Pennsylvania anthracite fields may
be ended before that in the soft
coal fields, for negotiations now
are under way for q new anthra-
cite wage agreement. Any new
wage scale must be appro"ed by a
referendum of the miners affected
by it, and the cessation of the
strike officials here said, rested
with the union'5 policy committee.
The opinion in union circles was
that the committee would end the
strike whenever a wage scale ac-
ceptable to the men had been ne
gotiated

Washington, March 22-The
resul1 of Mondays congress
sional election in the Third
Maine district continued today
to be he subject Of professed
satisfaction on the part of both
republican and democratic
leaders. .... -.-..
Countering yesterdays dec
laration by Chairman Adams
of the republican national
committee that the election of
John u. Nelson, republican,
left no doubt as to the pref
erence of the people, Chair
man Hun of the democratic
national committee came out
today with statement in
which he said:
"The republican majority
was reduced from 19.252 in
1920 to 5000 on yesterday.
This is a surprisingly fine
showing for a ek-ribbed re-
publican section noted for the
stability of its voters, With
these tremendous changes taxi

still greater changes are taxi

US. SENATE, NOT
JAPAN MENACES
PEACE, ASSERTS
Chester RoWelI, Speaker at
a Mass Meeting in San
Francisco, Urges Ap-
provaI of Pacific Treaty.
tHy The Assoeinted rress.l

San Francisco, Calf, March 22.-
Americas peace is no longer
menaced by Japanese militarism
but by the United States senate,
Chester Rowell. member of the
California state railroad commits
sion, declared in an address here
tonight at a mass meeting called
to urge ratification of the four
power treaty.
"And the only reason the menace
is not Immediately serious is that
the japanese statesmen are intel
ligent enough to treat that infa-
nous inuendo with the contempt
it deserves, he addeG. ''It is not
japanese yellow journals but os-
tensible responsible United States
senators who charge the Ameri-
can government with tricking Ja-
pan by a secret agreement with
England"
Mr. Rowell declared there never
would be war on the Pacific If the
powers bordering on the ocean
could be gathered into one room
and talk the matter over. This
treaty, he said, guarantees such a
conference and nothing more.
"Of these treaties, only one is
now menaced. That is the four
power treaty, the key to all the
others That is also the treaty
WHICH most touches Californians.
1t safeguards the security of our
coasts and of our commerce. 1t
sets at rest the unrest which was
troubling the peace of the Pacific.
Primarily, it is our treaty. 1t Is to
be voted on in the senate day af-
ter tomorrow. on that vote, Cali
fornia's voice in Washington is
now divided. We are met tonight
to say that California's voice at
home is united.

JULY PROPOSED
House Discusses Whether
Congress Shall Direct Re-
turn to the U. S. OF Ger
tain Troops Abroad.

Washington, March %. The
house gave its approval today to
provision of the army approprla-
ton bill which would require the
reduction by July of the regular
army enlisted strength to 115,000
men and then proceeded to enter
upon prolonged discussion OF
whether congress should direct the
return to the United States OF GER
tain troops stationed in China, Ha-
wall, the Panama Canal Zone and
on the Rhina. Secretary Weeks
has already ordered the withdraw
al of the troops from the Rhine.
The bill provides that before the
beginning of the coming fiscal
year approximately $500 troops
stationed in Hawaii; 1900 men OH
duty in the Canal zone and the en-
tire force Of 600 garrisoned in
China, as well as all but 500 men
and officers in the army of occu-
patton in Germany, must be
brought to continental United
States
Raises Point OF Order.
Representative Cargo, republi-
can, Pennsylvania, raised a point
of order against the provision on
the ground that congress was at
tempting TO usurp the power of the
president to direct troop move
ments. The point of order, how
ever, was overruled by President
Longworth, republican, Ohio, pre-
siding, who declared that while he
did so with personal regret" he
believed congress in appropriatins
for maintenance Of troops could
properly place such limitations on
the president and war department.
A motion to eliminate the provi-
sion from the bill was then made
by Representative Rogers, repub-
liean, Massachusetts,, but the house
adjourned before vote was taken.
The bill will be taken up again
Monday.
Rejects Amendment.
After extended discussion, the
house by decisive majorities re-
jected an amendment which would
have fixed the minimum enlisted
strength at levels other than the
115,000 recommended by the sub.
committee which framed the bill
Chairman Kahn Of the military
affairs committee, proposed that
pay be provided for $4,000 men.
exclusive Of 1000 Philippine
scouts.
Mr.. Kahn said he wanted an
army lagre enough to cope with any
situation. Declaring that the
United States was not legally at
peace with Mexico, he added that
''we also have a situation in the
west which may lead to trouble"
At the outset today the house
voted down a series of amendments
which would have increased the
$25o,000 carried for the officers
reserve corps to amounts as high
as $3,900,000.
