ONE RESPONSE
TO GOVERNMENT
ANTHRACITE MINE OWNERS
WILL ARBITRATE-ANSWER
FROM BITUMINOUS INDUS
TRY WILL NOT REACH PRES
IDENT BEFORE MONDAY

Washington, July 13.-Anthra-
cite mine owners today submitted
a response to the governments offer
of arbitration in the coal situation
that President Harding was said TO
regard as complete acceptance.
Meanwhile the miners union and
to a degree, the bituminous coal
operators continued to pursue a
policy which high officials declared
was intended to evade or delay an
immediate response and in which
officials saw a disposition to reject
the governments settlement plan II
public opinion would approve such
a course.
John L.. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers Of America
and other officials Of that organl-
zation called on Secretary DAVIS
today and were understood to be
endeavoring to induce the president
to make arbitration proposals to all
partially unionAed territory as well
az the mining area shut down by
the bituminous strike. $50 far as
the willingness of anthracite miners
to settle was concerned" Mr..
Lewis said, "arbitration in the an
thracite field would be considered
by the mine workers along with the
ibHtuminous arbitration proposals
at the general policy committee
meeting Saturday"
Responses from the bituminous
industry it was evident, would not
be in the presidents hand before
Monday.

TROOPS MADE READY
TO GUARD RAILROAD
FIRST STEP TAKEN TO BACK UP
WARNING TO STRIKING SHOP
MEN-TRUCKS AND AIRPLAN-
Es IN READINESS TO CARRY
THE MAILS.

Washington, July 13.-President
Harding took the first step today to-
ward backing up with the military
arms of the government his procla-
nation warning striking railway
shopmen against interference with
the transportation Of interstate COM
merce and the mails.
Instructions were sent at the dl-
rection of the president to Maj. Gen.
John L. Hines, commanding the
Eighth army corps area at San An
tonic, Texas, to prepare a sufficient
force of troops to give adequate pro-
lection to the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad which have
been attacked by striking shopmen,
particularly at Denison, Texas.
Coincident with these instructions
there went forth from the war de-
partment to c. E. Schaff of St. Louis
the receiver appointed by United
States court for the Missouri Kan
sas & Texas, the advice that he should
again call on the governor Of Texas
for protection for the railroad proper
ties, the receiver having reported that
previous appeals to the state execu-
tive had been unheeded. The receiver
further was promised that should his
appeal bring no protection from the
state authorities 'sthe federal govern
ment is ready to afford protection
and will take action if necessary as
soon as you have the reply from the
gsysrlss."
Officials in announcing the govern
ment's action emphasized it was TAX
en- because the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas was in the hands of receiver
appointed by a federal court and
consequently was under the supervis-
ion of the federal government.
Other developments in the capital
in connection with the strike during
the day included the receipt by Pres
,ident Harding of a telegram from B.
M. Jewell, head pf the railway en-
ployees' department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and heads
of the six striking shopcrafts, reply
ing to his proclamation and setting
forth the viewpoint of the striking
workers. So far as could be learned
at the White House tonight the presi-
dent had not determined whether the
telegram called for a reply.

OLD AGREEMENT
MAY Be REVISED
NEW TREATY POSSIBLE-RE-
CARDING MILITARY AND
NAVAL DEFENSES TO BE
MAINTAINED IN INTERNA-
TIONAL BORDER.

Washington, July ia pro-
posal that the century old agree
ment between the United States
and Canada regarding the military
and naval defenses to be maintain
ed on. the international border be
revised in permanent form and IN
line with the agreements reached
at the Washington arms limitation
conference was the chief mission
here today of W. L. McKenzie-King
prime minister of Canada, to con-
fer with Secretary Hughes. A new
treaty undermining the Rush
Bagot agreement probably will be
negotiated between the two coun-
tries.
The agreement, which the pro-
posed new treaty would modernlze'
was proclaimed by President Mon
roe in 1918 after having been ratl-
fed by the senate. It thus had all
the force of an international con-
vention, although not drawn in the
form of a treaty.
This understanding was negotla-
ted by Charles Bagot, British minis
ter to Washington and Richard
Rush, acting secretary of state. 1t
is in the form of letters exchanged
beween the negotiators on April 20
and 20, 1919, and provides that:
The naval force to be maintain
ed shall be confined to the follow
ing vessels on each side:
On Lake Ontario to ene vessel
not exceeding 100 tons burden ana
armed with one 1s pound cannon.
On the upper lakes to two vessels
not exceeding like burden each
and armed with like force.
On the waters of Lake Cham
plain, to one vessel not exceeding
like burden and armed with like
force.
All other armed vessels on these
lakes shall be forthwith dis
mantled, and no other vessel OF
war shall be there built or armed.
If either party should be here
saer desirous of annulling this stip
ulation and should give notice to
that effect to the other party, 1t
shall cease to be binding after the
expiration of six months from date
Of such notice.
The naval force so to be limited
shall be restricted to such service as
will, in no respect, interfere with
the proper duties of the armed YES
sells Of the other party.
Phe document is held to stand as
the only forerunner in history OF
the naval limitation agreements
reached in the recent Washington
treaty and has stood the test Of
years without being challenged.

FIGHT Of WEEKS
ON TARIFF BILL
DISPoSES OF AGRICUL-
TURAL SCHEDULES.-CONSID
GRAFTON OF COTTON, WOOL,
LINEN AND SILK WILL PROVE
EXTENDED.

Washington, July 13.-Completing
consideration of committee amend
ments to the agricultural schedule af
ter two weeks work, the senate
launched today into what promised
to be several weeks fight over tariff
duties on textile-cotton, wool, linen
and silk. The cotton schedule was the
first in order, but only one amend
ment was disposed of, this providing
for a duty of seven cents pound On
Egyptian cotton designed to protect
the growers of long staple cotton in
Arizona and southern California.
A flood of amendments to some
sections of this schedule were offered
by Senator Smoot (Republican) of
Utah on behalf of the finance COM
mittee majority, these representing
the work of the committee in rewrit-
ing rates. Senator Smoot explained
that the reductions approximated 4
per cent. on thread and fabrics and
much larger decreases in the duties
on hosiery and gloves, representing a
cut of 80 per cent. in the case OF the
cheaper grades in gloves.
Under questioning from the DEM
ocratic side Senator Smoot said the
committee majority also would pro-
pose some reductions on woolen goods
but said that these could not exceed
more than per cent. A sharp contro-
versy over the wooden schedule is
forecast.
The seven cents a pound on long
staple cotton was approved only after
a long fight and unsuccessful efforts
by Senators Cameron (Republican)
and Ashurst (Democrat) of Arizona
to have this figure increased first to
is cents and then to 10 cents. Sup
porting the higher rates, Senator
Ashurst told the senate that while he
was a Democrat believing in the pol
icy of a tariff for revenue only, he
would be untrue to his trust if, when
a protective tariff policy was to be
written into the statute books, he sat
idly by and permitted discrimination
against the interests of his state.
Opposing any rate on the staple
Senator Stanley (Democrat) of Ken
lucky declared it would be blunder
for the government to advance mil
Lions to reclaim the acrid lands Of
the Southwest so cotton could be
produced and then impose tax on
all of the people of the country so
that the cotton might be grown.
This brought fiery reply from Sen
ator Ashurst, who told of the great
consumption of Eastern made goods
by the people of the Southwest to
show that reclamation Of the land
had benefited the whole country.

OUR FOREIGN AGENTS

Since the war, Germany, France and
other European nations have been out
stripping the United States in their e..
forts TO increase their foreign trade. One
drawback from which the United States
has suffered in the past in competing for
foreign has been the lack of
coordination between the two classes Of
our foreign representaiiyes-ihe members
Of the diplomatic and Of the consular
service.
Plans are now under way, however. for
largely increasing the cooperation be.
tween these branches Of the foreign ser
vice. As Secretary Hughes Of the De-
pariment Of State recently announced.
An effort will be made to draw the
work Of these two departments more
closely together. to synchronize and har.
monte their endeayors. to make the con-
suls more or ess diplomats and the men,
hers Of the missions valuable adjuncts to
our foreign trade" One way. according
10 Mr.. Hughes. in which this co-ordina-
lion will probably be brought about is
BY making positions in the diplomatic
and consular services interchangeable.
Legislation is now pending in Congress
to make effective some Of the improve
ments in the foreign service proposed by
MIR. Hughes.
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of the De.
pariment Of Commerce, is no less DESTROYS
than Secretary Hughes Of bringing abou;
increased cooperation between the con-
sulaies and the embassies and legations in

toward this end, to some extent. by de-
Seloping the work Of the commercial at.
