Senator Lodge Will Open The Debate
On The Naval Treaty Today

Washington, March 2S.-The Sen
ate finally untangled its parliamen-
tary difficulties over the four-power
treaty supplements yesterday by join
ing the two supplementary agree
ments together and then ratlfylng
them both by unanimous vote.
One of the supplements, itself in
the form of a treaty, defines the
geographical scope of the Horsepower
pact so as not to include the japanese
homeland. The other, attached to the
first by toGay's action in the form of
preservation" H." stipulates that issues
which are purely of a domestic char
acter cannot be brought before the
four-power conferences.
The vote on the double rat
ification resolution was T3 to 0, op-
ponents Of thefour-power plan joining
in giving approval to the supplements
because they interpreted the two
agreements as limiting and curtalllng
the operation of the principal treaty.
Several attempts to attach other re-
servations which had failed when the
four-power treaty itself was under
consideration were defeated by the
usual pro-treaty and anti-treaty line
up.
AS soon as the vote was completed.
Senator Lodge called up the naval
limitation treaty. establishing a five
five-three capital-ship ratio for the
United States, Great Britain and Jap
an. Debate on it is to begin tomorrow,
and the Administration managers eN-
pect to see it ratified by an almost
unanimous vote by the end of the
week
The plan of combining action on
the two four-power treaty supple
ments was proposed by Senator Lodge
after he had decided it was unneces-
sary to present two separate ratltlca-
tions resolutions. The treaty oppon-
ents. holding that the domestlc-ques--
tions supplement really was a part OF
the four-powcr pact, protested that
the method finally settled upon by
the Republican leader was but a weak
and unsatisfactory way 10 solve the
parliamentary problem confronting
the Senate, but Mr.. Lodge and other
Republicans insisted 1T would be en-
tirciy effective.
BY Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
senior Democratic member of the For
cign Relations Committee, it was de-
clared that the Senate's action in CIV
ing belated approval to the supp!e-
ment rs an admission to Japan that
the supplements provisions are not
part of the four-power treaty.
Other Democrats also argued that
the only proper procedure was to re-
consider the vote ratifying the four
power past so as to include the sup
plcment in that ratification. !Adop-
ton of the domcstic-questions sup
plement as preservation to the
geographical supplement, however,
was bv vive voce vote.

Miners AWAIT
DEVELOP PMENTS
IN PROGRAM
District Chiefs Will Press
Fight In Unorganized
Coal Fields
HARD COAL STRIKE
Operators Are Prepared for Long
Siege-Farrington to Meet En-
ployers Tomorrow.

indianapolis, March %. = With
plans complete for the nationwide
coal strike, union leaders here yester-
day awaited developments in their
program for a complete tie-up OF the
country's coal industry through their
call to 100000 nonunion miners to
ioin the 100000 union workers in the
suspension of work next Friday Md
night.
No action, however, was contem-
plated to be taken from the unions
international headquarters here yes
terday, but district union officials bor-
dering the nonunion fields were eX-
pected to make formal calls for action
on the part of nonunion workers.
The nature of the activities among
the nonunion workers has been left to
the discretion of the district leaders,
but within each field, it is understood,
the union had many organizers, VINO
had been enrolled some time ago as
nonunion employees.
Interest in the program OF striking
the nonunion fields centered largely IN
Pennsylvania, where half of the coun-
try's nonunion men are employed.
West Virginia, too, was center OF
u>on attention, for many stubborn
battles have been fought there with
the operators. Other States with nom
union workers whom the lnion hoped
to draw into the strike were Alabama.
Kentucky Tennessee, Colorado and
Maryland.
Union men here held out no hope
that the walkout in the anthracite
districts would be ayerted, On the
contrary, they expected the negotia-
tions would continue some time after
April / and that the hard coal fields
would be tied up pending the settle
ment.
For the soft coal fields no settlement
was in sight for any field, although
both Northern West Virginia and IL
linois union officials were to hold wage
negotiations with operators.
Operators declared. that they were
ready for a long cessation of work,
but some predicted that miners in
some localities would be ready to make
separate wage agreements in 80 to 6o
DAYS. District union officials, now
ever, asserted that the men would
stand solid indefinitely, declaring that
their unity would in time force the
operators to begin wage negotiations
on the basis of an interstate contract.

i MILLIONS
Democrats and Republicans
Join in Rivers and Har-
bOrs Increase
LEADERS ARE ROUTED
Cut Which Was Made in Military
Forces is Neutralized by This Latest
Vote

Washington, March 2S.-The Re-
publican leadership Of the House was
routed today when d coalition OF Dem
ocratic and Republican members IN
creased by more than so per cent the
amount carried in the army approprl-
aticn bill for river and harbor work.
Not only was the appropriations
subcommittee ovcrridden, but the plea
Of Representative Frank W. Mondell,
the Republican floor leader, that the
House support the committee, fell on
deaf ears.
The action of the House increased
from S27 ,635, ,260 to $42,Sl3,G6l the
appropriation fc" continuation or en-
istlng rivers anG harbors work. The
vote was l5S TO 81. Taken il COM
mi.tee Of the whole, where they was
no roll call, House insurgents IN vot-
inc this larger sum followed substan-
italy the recommendations or the
board of army engineers whose esti-
mates had been mercilessly cut by
the Appropriation Committee. ,,
Aside from the cries of pork bar
rel" and claims that certain members
who are willing to vote to reduce ap-
preparations for the army and navy,
vote Just the other way on rivers
and harbors bill affecting their local
interests. the action in the House to-
day was mainly significant III that 1t
again illustrates the state OF leader
ship in that body. Furthermore, 1t ac-
-cpntuatcs the jealousy between COM
mittees which has been apparent Tor
some days.
The fight for larger rivers and
harhors budget was led by Chairman
Dempsey, Of the Rivers and Harbors
COMMUNICATIONS which committee
appropriating powers recently were
iaken--assisted b. Representative
james r. Mann, of Illinois, who led
the Republicans when they were IN the
minority, but vino was noSed out OF
the majority leadership by Mr. Mon
dell.
The Appropriations Committees
battle to sustain its own bill was fur
thcred bv Mr.. Mondell Representative
Anthony, ot Kansas, in direct charge
of the army budget, and Representa-
tive Stafford of Wisconsin. When the
vote came, however, it was ) to
against the committee.
On the other hand. the committee
only a few days ago won a somewhat
similar fight over the size Of the
army, defeating a coalition OF bigger
army" Republicans and Democrats.
Today was the first time the out
sidcrS have been able to make an ap--
nrcciabIe dent in the hreastworks OF
the powerfully intrenched Approprl-
ations Committee, which now wjeIds
unprecedented power in the lower
chamber.
Members Of the Rivers and iiarbors
Committee have been rcStive for some
days over thecuts Of the estimates for
river arG harhor work. Having yield
ed its appropriatjng powers, however,
that committee could only await It's
time on the floor Of the House and at
tempt to override the more powerful
rival committee.

ARMY. AIR ROUTE
TO CANAL ZONE
Weeks Calls Defense Essential
Planes to Fly There Under
Their Own Power

Washington, March 2S.-Plans for
early establishment of an air route
to the Panama Canal Zone rs a
measure of national defense are being
made by the War Deartment, Secre-
tary Weeks announced yesterday.
When landing places have been sur
veyed and selected, he said, army
planes will be sent to the zone under
their own power.
a regard the Canal Zone and Ha-
waii as the two most important posts
the army has" Mr.. Weeks said.
The secretary said he had repeated
ly told congressional committees that
he would not be responsible for any
reduction in the garrisons of these
Appropriations Committee as an econ
omy measure in framing the army
appropriation bill.
The war secretary indicated that in
the event of any threatened attack
on the Canal Zone it would be regard
ed as vitally necessary to increase i'm
mediately the air forces attached to
the defenses. 1t would be necessary,
hr said, to send planes under their
own power in order to get them
quickly to the scene. and the air route
will be laid out with that purpose in
mind.
Loss of the army dirigible Roma
has prevented experiments with that
type of craft as an airplane carrier
he added. which appeared to him to
be probably most promising military
