COOLIDGE AND

ON ARMS MEET
'IrreconciliGbIes' Yield
on Geneva

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. q. -
President Coolidge got his Christmas
present from Senator 5orah when the
latter, after visiting the White House,
agreedswith Coolidge upon the parti-
ctpation in the preliminary confer
ence on disarmament" to be held
at Geneva, Switzerland, in February.
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire, an
other so-calIed "bitter antagonist
suecumbed to the Establishments of
Coolidge as did Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, who is not so "bitter," and
needed less coaxing.
Gibson Will Go.
AS a result, Hugh S. Gibson, Amer
lean minister at Berne, will represent
the United States in the preliminary
conference. it is announced.
So well did Cal work that Senator
Moses even congratulated the presi-
dent on his decision to accept the
league of nations invitation. The
agreement between Borah and Coo
lidge provided participation by the
United States under conditions which
Borah thinks will leave the United
States independent" whatever that
may mean in these days of interna-
tional banking and imperialist inter
ests. These include.
Three Conditions.
1. The United States is not to
join in any security compacts ar
ranged at the main armament con-
ference.
2. No agreement reached at the
conference proper is to be enforced
by the league of nations, leaving each
government to obey or not as it sees
fit and thinks worth while to keep
its "word Of honor" This is the same
scheme as the Washington Limitation
of ornaments" conference, which has
failed beautifully to "dmit" any ma
ton intact.
3. No member of the conference
shall provide for the reduction of
American land armament, which
means that the United States will
consent to be bound only by the OBJ
legations it assumes under special pro.
visions for further naval limitation
and upon such measures as do not
really reduce the size of armies, such
as agreements on the use of poison
gas.
No disarmament"
All these conditions clearly indi
cate that 1t is not a disarmament
conference bdt one to reduce" arm
aments--of other countries. Each
nation having the same idea. The re
suit will be another farce such as
the Washington conference.
An agreement by the preliminary
conference that American representa-
tives would be entitled to sit in the
armament conference under the re
servations outlined between Coolidge
and Borah will insure American par
ticipation, and the preliminaries will
give the United States chance tc
show the other nations the position

will stand for in the final conference

TRY TO BREAK
STRIKE With A
CALL TO WORK
Anthracite Opera 'rs.
Attempt StGmpe
tspeeIaI to rhe DaIIy worker,

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 27.-Large
advertisements in the capitalist news
papers in the anthracite region, in
vItlnu che $4,000 striking miners to
come back to work pending the out
come of the negotiations which are
supposed to begin Tuesday at New
York City, indicate the open shop in
tentions of the operators who seize
upon the surrender of Lewis to dis
euss any settlement, without regard
to the Tri-District demands over
which the strike arose, as an OPP
perfume time to smash the union en-
tirely-which would be the result Of
break in the line by a stampede
back to work.
District President Cappellini, when
interviewed, announced that there
would be no acceptance of the "in-
vitation to return to work" The ca
pitalist papers, however, are so anxi-
Gus to show that Cappellini should
not be considered as a bad man from
the operators standpoint because Of
this refusal to permit union wrecking
stampede, commenting upon Cappel-
lini's announcement as having moth
ing hostile in it,"
Another movement of the operators
on the religious front" is the wide
spread circulation throughout the
anthracite region of letter signed
by sixteen foreign-language priests Of
the upper coal fields, urging the
miners to return to work and leave
up to an impartial arbitrator all
lions.
The impression prevails in the an
thracite region that work may be re-
sumed in ten days, or at least that is
the second line of propaganda by the
operators who fail TO get the men
back to work at once.
Lewis Surrenders- DiplomaticalIy.
In the meantime both sides are pre-
pairing to meet in the negotiations at
New York on Tuesday, President John
L. Lewis of the Miners Union having
agreed to enter the negotiations with
any terms to be used as basis Of
discussion.
The telegram of Lewis which sur
rendered not only the Tri-District de-
