COAL PEACE FAR
AWAY, INDICATION
Sudden Adjournment of Mner-oper-
ator Meetings Breaks Chances of
Agreement on Triple Clause
Plan; Try 1t Again.
(By The United Press.)

Chicago, Dec. 7.--Peace in the coal
industry was as far way as ever to-
day following the sudden adjourn
ment of the operators-miners reor-
ganization conference here.
The conference broke up when the
opposing forces realized it was i'm
possible to get together on the
triple clause" plan submitted by op-
orators for reorganization Of the
industry.
The matter will be brought up
again at the miners-operators' regu-
lar meeting Jan. 3, when the reor-
ganization committee makes its re-
port.
This meeting will be held in Chi
cago instead of Cleveland, as original
ly planned, it was decided yesterday
"I am unalterably opposed to any
plan which includes forced arbitra-
tion," President John l.. Lewis OF
the miners said.
Miners are ready to agree to any
plan which does not include ar
bitration or the weakening of the
national organization by placing the
responsibility of wage negotiations
on the separate districts, it was
learned on high authority.
Operators, ON the other hand, in
sist that arbitration and district wage
scales are necessary to guarantee
rights to all competitive fields.

IN much the same manner AS the
United States made lis voice heard
at Lausanne. according to belief IN
British official circles.
Ambassador llaryey's speech at the
l.yoeum club Monday night, In which
he declared the fate OF Europe hung
upon the forthcoming weekend con.
ference. was inadequtely reported and
diplomats here are Just beginning to
discuss Il.
Considerable importance In this
connection is attached 10 the arrival
here OF United States ministers TO
Brussels aud Berlin.
Information Is passed on from Of.
flcial sources TO the effect that Iar.
yey. preparing his speech for Monday
night. intended TO sepak Gu some
innocuous subject. but changed mis-
plans at the last minute, presumably
upon information or instructions from
Washington.
Additional Significance Is lent the
participation OF an American OBJ.
server at the premlers' parley by the
fact that Raymond Poincare. prime
minister OF France, is nov expected
TO try TO exclude the question of rep.
arations from the London discus
sions, hoping theerby TO force a
financial conference at Brussels.
Referring TO the Brussels project,
Ambassador Harvey said:
III the premlers themselves are
unable TO agree. II Is useelss to ex-
pect results from q meeting Of
few understrappers at Brussels"
According to reliable information
obtained from British sources, Pre-
mier Poincare does not welcome CON
American participation in
the London conference. IL is said
in this connection that Poincare
and his government are likely to go
under If the premiers fail to reach
agreement Such agreement is con-
sidered doubtful by the British, who
say they expect the American OBJ
server at London will oppose French
plans to coerce Germany.
Ambassador Harvey may play
role similar to that of Richard Wash
burn Child at Lausanne.

at Paris on these questions. so they
differ now an dtheir meeting late
yesterday did not change this.
The former president has no in
tention OF appearing To approve what
the Tiger is saying In his country
except possibly the Frcnchman's
general view that the United States
must interest itself In Europe.
This is believed TO have been
made clear by the meeting.
Neither has the Tiger given way
TO the views of former President
Wilson as shown by the fact that he
declared right up to his visit to
Wilson that he had no faith In the
League OF Nations as n preventive
OF war. He prefers alliances of
few nations.
The fact that there has been no
agreement between Wilson and
Clemenceau on policies does not
mean that all clouds Of personal an
tagonism that might have lowered
over them have not passed. The
reverse Is true. The Tiger described
his meeting with Wilson even as
"affectionate."
The Tiger saw Mr.. Wilson for
about ten minutes In the study of

by Mrs. Wilson. who then left the

Chicago, Dec. Two womenwere
arrested when they alighted here
from Northwestern Limited Train
No. 8, today from the Los Angeles,
by police who had rushed to the
station on tip that Clara Phillips,
escaped hammer murderess" was
aboard.
Mrs. Phillips was not on the train
when 1t arrived and police declared
the two women taken into custody
had no connection with the Phillips
case.
Detectives later admitted that they
had taken the two women on the
supposition that one might have
been the fugitive. However, both
were able to furnish complete iden.
tification.
They gave their names as Clara
Hutchins and Elsie Coe Miss
Hutchins had been seriously i'll for
some time and was pale, leading au-
thorities to believe that she might
be Mrs. Phillips.
Miss Coe was connected with the
-. W. SoC anu COllpduy, iUCdltu III
the Munsey building, Baltimore, Md.
The two girls had been in Los
Angeles, since April, on account of
Miss Hutchins's ill health, but a
physician advised her to return to
her home in Baltimore.
She was i'll, nervous and pale and
appeared under a great mental
strain on the train, which had
aroused suspicious of fellow pass
engers that she was Mrs. Phillips.
Miss Hutchins somewhat resem-
bled Mrs. Phillips but police were
confident that she was not the
woman wanted.
After they had been questioned a
short time, they were taken out to
by officers.
Authorities said they desired to
allow Chief of Police Charles Fitz-
morris to question Miss Hutchins
before freeing the couple.
