 The indorsement of the miners strike was given by rising vote cast by the delegates amid their own cheers. and afterward William Green. secretary treasurer of the miners union. declared that the miners were in the fight to the finish, and he said it might be neces- sary to ask other unions for financial as- sistance.
 Other developments also marked the convention session although it was cut short so delegates might attend barbe- cue staged on river island. 20 miles from this city. The "one big union plan, advocated by William L. Foster. was rejected by the convention without debate, and later announced was made that Mir. Foster woul darrive here next week to hold a mass meeting a week from tonight. Plans for unionizing un- organized workers also were laid by the convention, which In addition adopted a resolution declaring in favor of an "ln- tensive organization to combat the open shop"
 Aside from the convention work. the executive council of the federation gave US hnal consideration to the recent de. l clsion of the supreme court decision fin the celebrated Coronado coal case. and prepared it's report criticising the deci. sion. The council decided not to pro. pose any means for overcoming the de. cision on account of the convention hay.

The com mittee did not act on the amendment at todays session and later republican committee members hastily called to- gether, received another proposal fram- ed by Representative Edmonds. repub- lican, Pennsylvania. and designed as a substitute for the Bankhead. amend ment.
 The Edmonds amendment would have the effect of puttins American ships on a parity with those nations which do not have prohibition It would provide a fine of s10.00o on any ship of whatever registry on which liquor is sold during voyage starting or ending at an Amer ican port and after a second offenss would prohibit the entrance Of the ship to American ports. The proposal was taken under consideration by the major ity committee members with the belief being advanced in some quarters that it ran directly to many of the nations commercial treaties
 Action during the day was not entirely confined to congress for as on yesterday. executive officials discussed the matter and 1t was indicated at the treasury that Attorney General Daugherty might be asked for a ruling on the legality oi l liquor selling on American ships. Dr. Daugherty when asked about the possi- i bility of new ruling or rather a review If the ruling made by the department oi Justice during the Wilson administration ] to the effect that prohibition follows tho
