LODGE FAv0RS AIR
LIMITATION FARLEY
MASS. LEGION TOLD

Marblehead. Mass. Sept. limit
ed States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge declared himself in favor of
an international conference to limit
air armament, but added a warning
against leaving this countrys shores
open to hostile attack, in an address
to the delegates of the Massachu-
sets Department, American Legion,
at their annual convention here to-
day. The nomination of Major
General Clarence r. Edwards,
commander Of the Twenty-Sixth
Division, in the World War. for
state department commander, was
the second high light of the DAYS
proceedings.
The senator arrived unexpectedly,
and was escorted to the platform
amid loud cheering. The convention
had Just approved a resolution for
an international air armament
limitation conference and Senator
Lodge said in his speech:
It SO happens that l was a dele
gate 10 the Washington conference
on the reduction of ornaments. in
the belief that it would foster and
promote peace. The results were
not all that were expected, but it
limited tonnage and the calibre of
guns to be used on ships.
You say that this is to be an in
ternational conference, and it must
be international. Nothing can he
worse than the disarmament of one
nation as an example for the 9TH
ers: 1t is an awful temptation to at
tack a nation not well defended, es-
pecially if the country to set the ex-
ample is the greatest and richest
country in the world.
Il have an awful horror of war
People say any war should be out
laweh. Yes. but when they tell YOU
that. they do not say how it is to be
done, and words alone will not out
law war If, which God forbid, war
should come. airplaneS are absolute
~ necessary for the existence of the
navy, and 1T would be awful to leave
us in such position as to be at
tackled with impunity. We are at
peace with the world. but the real
reason for our ability to bring about
reduction in armament was that we
had program which. if it had been
carried out. would have made us
the most powerful nation in the
world"
The convention went on record to-
day as faNoring a survey of all fed
eral prisons in this country by the
department OF justice to determine
whether any eX-scrvice men are m
carcerated therein for crimes grow
ing out of war injuries. 1t passed
resolutions asking for special gov
eminent relief for tubercular veter-
ans. and for the listing of shell
shock" victims as permanently DIS
abled, in order to gain more com
pensation for them. Another resolu-
ton passed asked that flags be half
masted on public buildings when an
eX-Serfice man dies.
Th8 election of officers shall be
held tomorrow. Major General Ed
wards only opponent for the COM
membership is John W. Reth, of
Rosllndale. There are four candi-
dates for the post of state adiutant.
Inc convention will close tomorrow
night with sham land and air bat
tie. In which troops of the Massa-
chusetts National Guard and battle

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 7-(By A.
Po-Complete agreement upon the
main points at .ssue between anthra-
cite operators md miners upon the
basis of Governor Pinchots peace
proposals was reached here today
Joint negotiations to make the agree
ment effective in a new wage contract
and to clear up outstanding differ
ences of lesser importance between
the two sides were called for to-
night.
All participants in the negotia tons
believe that a settlement will be
eventual and 1T is believed that Or
ders to resume work may be sent out
within week or ten days. Govern
or Pinchot, discussing the unsettled
points, declared there is no point of
dispute remaining between the two
sides which Is in any way likely to
justify continuation of the strike.
ANY final agreement by the union
representatives, and the Operatives
policy committee will be subjec. 10
approval by convention OF m.;3r
delegates from the three Unite,i Eire
Workers districts of the anthTa ,tte
region. The assembling of suc., q
convention would require at least a
week. but John l.. Lewis, president
OF the miners and other miners I'M
ion officials were certain a contract
would be negotiated and that their
recommendations would be accepted
by the tri-district convention.
Governor Pinchots announcement
that the miners union representa-
tives had agreed to take 10 percent
wage increase and abandon their de-
mand for check off" collection OF
union dues came at the end OF
brief session in which he met again

Mr.. Lewis and the governor remain

between the miners representatives
and the operators committee and I
confidently expect prompt and
complete agreement upon all de-
tails"
Mr.. Lewis followed him in a brief
address:
In acquiescng to the four basic
points of Governor Pinchot's pro-
posaI. the representatives Of the NINE
workers have been fully conscious
of the public interest. The mine
works. proposed to fight to the I'M
ish with the anthracite opertors and
had every reason to believe that the
end of such a contest would have
brought fuIfllment Of their major
demands.
We have. however. the natural
desire that goes with good citizen
ship to obviate the public embarass-
ment and discomfort and to newt
able suffering that would accompany
conflict between forces of such
magnitude.
