Wadsworth said. This is too

Our federal budget SO far has
balanced, but next year we face a

pay for these new expenditures,
the money should be provided

ROMA DISASTER CAUSES
PRESIDENT TO POSTPONE
ARMY-NAVY RECEPTION

The Army and Navy reception,
which was to have been held at
the White House this evening, for
which 1000 Invitations have been
out, was postponed today by Presi-
dent Harding because Of the feel
ing that such a reception at this
time, following SO closely. on the
disaster to the Army dirigible
Roma, would be incompatible with
the sorrow felt throughout the
service at the deplorable loss of
life. In q statement to the press
today President Harding said:
"On account Of the deplorable
loss of life in the Roma accident,
the Army and Navy reception. to
have been given at the White
House tonight has been postponed
to Wednesday, April 19. President
and Mrs. Harding feel that a re-
ception to the Army and Navy at
time when there is such deep
grief over the bereavements at.
tending the explosion of the Roma
would not be in accord with the
feeling Of themselves or their in
vited guests. 1t is impossible to
give other than newspaper notice
of the postponement."

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, February
23.-"knowing Lieut.. Clifford E.
Smythe as l did, cannot oelieve that
he has been correctly quoted in
Chicago relative to his letter to his
father, in which he is said to have
declared the Roma unsafe"
This statement was officially made
tkis morning by Loeut. Col. A. s.
service at Langley Field.
Relative to the Washington trip
of the Roma I desire to say that she
behaved very nicely under most try
ing, weather conditions. There was
nothing wrong except our speed.
which was little slow at times on
account, of the Italian engines not
working we'll in this climate. These
motors were replaced, and there was
hothing wrong with the craft when
to be her last fight.
Ordered to Return ON Boat.
Lieut.. Smythe returned from
ing the flight from Langley Field to
the capital on the Roma, because he
was ordered to do so. Several higher
officers wanted to make the return
flight for experimental purposes and
Lieut.. Smythe and others were sent
back to Langley Field by steamer to
make room for them.
There must be some mistake
somewhere, for am certain there
was no criminal negligence and don't
believe Lieut.. Smythe would have
made such charge, even to his
father.
The Roma disaster has cast a pail
Of gloom not only over Langley Field
and vicinity, but also the whole ma
tion. and charges rejecting on the
men who went to their death Tues
day should not be lightly made.
THE air service is making a thor

the Roma disaster and thus far there

criminal negligence recently or at

LIKE THAT WILSON FACED
Johnson and Brandegee Believed
Unyielding, and May Receive

President Harding, it was reported
IN well informed senatorial circles to-
day, is opposed to reservations to the
four-power Pacific treaty. 1t is said
he has indicated to senators that he
cannot look with favor upon the
reservations that have been offered
and others understood to be in con-
temptation.
AS late as last Sunday he was un-
derstood to be complaisant to their
acceptance. regarding them as su-
perf1uous. but. il their acceptance
would expedite ratification of the
treaty. willing to let them in. Since
then, however. the President is re-
ported as having become more Of the
mind that the reservations would
handicap the treaty and to have COM
municated this view to administra-
ton leaders in the Senate.
Senators Stick to Views.
Senators johnson of California and
Brandegee are understood to be tena-
cious of their views in support of the
reservations, which are shared by some
democrats on the committee.
Indications. therefore, today appeared
to point to the approach Of a stubborn
contest in the Senate committee on for

STAGE SET FOR MINERS
STRIKE, HOOVER WARNS
secretary Says Public Should Know
What to Expect When Wage Agree
mcnts Expire April /.

washington, Jan. 19.--Warnimg of
an impending general strike in the
country's coal industry was given to-
day by Secretary Hoover, who declar-
Ell that the public should know wna..
10 expect when the national agree
ments covering the wages and work
( ing conditions OF miners expire April
l.
The STAGE" MI. Hoover said, zap
pears to be set for strike in the
Of March"
Mr. Hoover did not indicate what
the governments plans for meeting
such an emergency were, but said
that there had been no conferences
between representatives Of the admin
'stration and the miners and opera
tors for about six weeks with no fur
ther discussions looking toward ad-
Justment Of controverted questions
scheduled at this time by the govern
ment.
While he did not discuss what the
governments attitude might be in the
event of a general coal strike, the inn
preston was gained that the admin
istration was regarding without un-
due alarm, the possible approach of
such strike situation
AS the time has approached for the
construction of new wage scales and
IUnISy In, otc
and employers in the union fields, ne
gotiations have twice been set on foot
between the mine workers and the
employers, with Mr.. Hoover as the rep
resentative Of the government, taking
a tentative part. Operators in the un-
ion fields, declaring that non-union
coal producing territory has been talk
ing an increasing proportion Of the
business, have announced their pur-
pose Of reducing wages when the con-
tract expires, while John L. Lewis, as
president of the United Mine Workers,
has in speeches before union gather
ings and statements, asserted that the
men would accept no reductions but
WOulu seek INCREASES.
Ordinarily wage negotiations in the
ibituminous industry have been begun
between an organization ~ operators
in what is known az the central COM
petitivc field, including Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the un-
ion. The agreement reached in this
area has been the basis Of similar
agreements in all the union outlaying
districts.
Certain Of the Pennsylvania oper-
ators have given notice that they
would not renew the wage negotia-
tions this year in association with
other sections OF the central field, on
the ground that West Virginia wage
scales, chiefly non-union, were the
chief competitive factor.
Secretary Hoover some weeks ago
induced the operators to meet with
President Lewis, and submitted a pro-
position that the entire question be
submitted o arbitration. This, the un-
ion representatives refused, on the
ground that the constitution of their
organization forbade the submission Of
the question to outside arbitration in
advance OF direct negotiation with the
employers. This position has remained
unchanged, although Mr.. Lewis was
called to Washington last week for q
conference with Secretary Hoover.
