ACCEPT ARBITRATION;
OTHERS OUT OF Line
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although
the anthracite operators have sub
mitted what President Harding is said
to regard as complete acceptance OF
the governments offer of arbitration
in the coal strike, the situation with
regard to the bituminous operators
and the miners union continued under
cloud of uncertainty today with both
sides pursuing a policy obviously dis
turbing to administration officials. De-
clarng the intention is to delay or
avoid an immediate response, high Off
cials see in the course pursued a dis
position to reject the governments
settlement plan if public opinion would
approve such course.
The anthracite operators attached
two conditions to their acceptance or
arbitration yesterday one that a sep
arate commission consider wage scales
In that industry and the other that
the commission be required to submit
a decision by August 10, agreeing in
the meantime to pay the wage rate OF
March 81, as suggested in the presi-
dents proposal. They asked that the
proposed separate commission should
De required to set up a permanent
method by which wages and working
conditions would be adjusted automat-
ically, in the future and proposed that
to assure a non-partisan adjudication
the commission be composed of three
representatives of the public and one
miner and one operator.

SALES ON u. S. SHIPS
ASKED BY DAUCHERTY
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Views of
the various interests concerned in the
question of the legality Of the sale of
intoxicating liquor on American YES
sells on the high seas as well as for
eign vessels coming within the three
mile limit were sought by Attorney
General Daugherty on opening hear
ings on the matter today prior to rem
dering a formal opinion. The opinion
was requested by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair as a result of the
controversy precipitated by the An
heuser-Busch brewing company in at
tacking the shipping board for selling
liquor on American flag vessels.
The shipping board itself will not
be represented at the hearing, that or
ganization taking the view. it was
said in official circles today, that
since Chief Counsel Schlesinger of
the board already had rendered a de-
cision upholding the legality of the
liquor sales at sea, it had no further
interest in the matter until the ques-
tion was decided by the attorney gen.
eral
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
however, would be represented during
the course of the hearings, it was un-
derstood with other interests repre-
isented including the anti-saloon league
and the steamship companies.

PAVING GAR LINE
IS OPEN QUESTION

Whether or not the street car COM
pany will be required by law to pave
the middle of South Eighth street is
still an open question" said William
H. Kelley, city attorney, Tuesday, in
answer to complaints from south end
residents that the work remained un-
finished
The case is still before the Public
Utilities commission at Indianapolis,
and probably will not be decided for
some time"
The street car company objected
to paving their right of way on the
ground that it did not give any benefit
to their patrons, and therefore should
not be charged to the company, but
TO the land owners
One utilities commission of a near
by state ruled that such stand is
justifiable. and refused to permit
such orders to be enforced against the
utilities
THE question probably will have
to be settled in the higher courts, .
said Mr.. Kelley, ''as the utilities com
mission is not the final authority on
such matters

more modern terms and giving per-
manent form to the essential princi-
pies OF the century-old Rush-Bagot

ent on the Great Lakes and the St.

uted to by George Graham the Can

added, expressed themselves as well
pleased with the sympathetic manner
in which thir representations were re-
ceived by Secretary Hughes, and un-
derstood that formal negotiations

new treaty would modernize, having
now all the foN;e of an international
convention although not drawn in
treaty form, was proclaimed by Presi-
dent Monroe in 1918 after having been

Mr.. King to be one neither of accept
ance nor rejection but of postpone
ment until what is considered a more
opportune time for its consideration
IN view of the magnitude of the expen-
ditures involved.
The Canadian ministers were pre-
sented TO President Harding yesterday
after lunching with Secretary Hughes
and last night they were dinner guests

REPORT DEADLOCK TIGHT
tBy Associated P-esso

LONDON, July 13.-Prime Minister
Lloyd George told the house of COM
mons this afternoon, he was afraid
a deadlock had occurred at the Hague
but he had no information that there
had been breakdown at the confer
ence on Russian affairs.
THE HAGUE, July 13.-Actual dis
solution of The Hague conference on
Russian affairs probably cannot take
place before tomorrow as the session
of the sub-commission on credits has
been postponed until then and no
meeting is planned for today between
the Russian and non-Russian dele
gates.
Meanwhile experts representing the
countries which have tried to reach an
agreement with the soviets are hold
ing meetings for the discussion of
their final stand on the question of
foreign owned property in Russia con-
fiscated by the soviet, about which
all the minor differences center.
Firm in Stands.
Many of the delegates have made
train reservations for tomorrow or
Saturday or have advised the hotels
they will surrender their rooms. The
deadlock over the property question is
SO tight and both Russians and non
Russians are so firm in their respec-
tive stand that it seems unlikely any
formula can be evolved to save the
conference from disruption
The non-Russians seem including to
break up the meeting in a parliament
ary way and talk of the necessity of
the various sub-commissions making
their reports to the main commission,
which in turn must act upon them.
Lltvinotf, the chief Russian delegate
has been so precipitate in his methods
that the entente group has been un-
able to soften the abruptness of the
clashes and pave the way for peace
ful ending.
