6,0G4 woes

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-With cleo
ton returns in from all except eight
counties, and tabulation made Of the
vote on all the constitutional amend
mcnts voted on in the general cleo
ton, there appears now a probability
that only one Of the four amend
ments voted on carried, it was an
nounccd Tuesday.
A late surprise in the vote comes
in the fact that there is probably
one addition to the losses, in the
matter of the amendment to increase
the salary of the Superior court
Judge in the Muscogee circuit,
which would mean that the only
amendment to have carried will be
that. increasing the salary of the
judge in the Augusta circuit. The
vote on the Muscogee circuit salary,
with the eight counties missing, was
5,424 for and 24,O73 against, Civ

HARD COAL MEN
WILL ARBITRATE
Accept Presidents Offer for Settling
Coal Strike-Soft Coal Men and
Unions Evasiye

WASHINGTON. July 13-Anthraeite
mine owners yesterday submitted a re-
spanse to the governments offer of ar
bitration in the coal situation that Pres
ident Harding was said to regard as a
complete acceptance.
Meanwhile the miners union, and to
n degree, the bituminous coal operators,
continued to pursue policy which high
offlcials declared was intended to evade
or delay an immediate response, and in
which officials saw a disposition to re-
ject the governments settlement plan if
pubHc opinion would approve such a
course.
Response from the bituminous indus
try. it was evident, would not be in the
Presidents hands before Monday.
Two conditions were attached to the
anthracite employers acceptance of arbi-
tration, one that a separate commission
consider the wage scales in that indus
try. and second that the commission be
required to return a decision about Aug
10. Meantime, they agreed to the Pres
ident's suggestion of paying the wage
rate of March 81. though protesting
that this would embarraSs rather than
assist the effort to restore normal con-
ditions." because public demand for
decreased prices of anthracite is imper-
alive.
