LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Indieations on
Thursday were that the miners had
rejected the terms Of the government

fields. Reports from the big districts
in Scotland and South Wales were

promise proposals recommended by
the delegate conference Of the British
Miners Federation that met in Lon

Final Result Friday.
The Anal results of the referendum
will not be known until Friday. The
terms Of. the government that were
voted on were district settlements in
yolving longer hours, these to run
three years, and a national tribunal to
be set up to consider appeals from
Che owners and the union. An ar

Cook Opposes.
A. J Cook, the miners secretary,
took sharp stand against recon-

when the matter was voted on at the
delegate conference and the recon-
mendation carried by narrow margin
II the results of the vote are as the
early returns indicate, for the second
time the miners from the pits will
have turned down compromise recon-
mendations made by the delegate

WILLIAM e. McDERMOTT, feat
w ure writer for the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, takes the prize for
literary pap fed to the readers of
this exploiters publication con-
corning the visit to that city Of
Queen Marie of Roumania.
This no doubt results from the
fact that the two great neighboring
industrial centers, Cleveland and
Detroit, are astir more than ever
with protest against Marie's com
ing. The prostitute press is ever at
its job of trying to smoothe out the
rough spots for its owners and
their retinue of parasites.
Peter Witt, member of the Cleve-
land city council, for instance, is
no Bolshevik. He, leads the protest
against difficulties.
Socialist members of the Cleve-
land city council were ousted during
the war. Eugene V. Debs got his
ten-year sentence to prison from
Cleveland judge. C. E. Ruthenberg,
Alfred Wagenknecht and Charles
Baker got jail sentences in Cleve-
land during the war. The statue
that stands in the public square de-
dicated to Tom Johnson and free
speech is a relic OF the past, a
curiosity for sightseers.
Short shrift was therefore made of
the effort of Councilman Witt to
read to his fellow council members
a statement prepared, not by Rus
slams, but a committee of Cleveland
Hungarians against the belly-crawl-
ing subseryience of American off,
cialdom to the visiting Roumanian
monarch.
1t was the Hessian army of Queen
Marie that was sent into Hungary to
help destroy the Hungarian Soviet
Republic and erect the tyranny of
the dictator, Horthy, with the bless
ing of the Paris peace conference,
and Herbert Hoover, American food
administrator in Europe. The Hun
garians like other national minori-
ties, restless under the Roumanian
lash, protest and suffer the usual
punishment, death or imprisonment.

sger and the councils clerk de-
cided that the document proposed
by Witt contained sections that
? would offend the delicately attuned
ears of Cleveland's do-nothings and
their guest, "Romany Marie" Refer

women was held to be especially in
delicate. Mind you, there was no
denying that Queen Marie's jailers
and soldiers had stripped and beaten

Teller in their midst. So the
sergeant-at-arms was even called in
to put the gag on Witt. If Marie
had come to town next Monday as
planned, she would probably have
given the local agents OF big bust
ness some lessons on how to deal
with obstreperous parliamentarians
like Peter Witt.

Cleveland Writer Sees
Queen Marie Here Like
"Alice in Wonderland"
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

dealing cruelty with the Hungarian
people.
But / cannot be made to believe
that the beautiful Marie has had the
slightest thing to do with the beat
ing Of helpless women. Even Mr..
Witt admits she is charming
woman, and charming women are
not usually bloodthirsty.
why should Marie be made to
answer for either the good or the
ills of her state, or for the conduct,
noble or ignoble, Of her individual
subjects?
"She is not a policy or govern
ment, but a woman, a queen and
guest. We ought to try to be nice
to her.
"By the way, speaking of this
amiable rough house as to who shall
be invited to the queens party, has
anybody thought to ask the queen
whom she'd like to have? After all,
it's her party, isn't?"
Only the finished product of
capitalist newspaper editorial broth
ell could turn out such an "Alice in
Wonderland" attitude toward life.
Yet it is the pap that daily news
paper readers are supposed to feed
on, not only on the occasion of
Queen Marie's visit, but every day
thruout the year.
1t Is true that General Averescu or
the Bratiano brothers in turn be-
come the power in Roumania's ter
ror government. But the queen can
escape no blame for the crime COM
mitted in her name and in the name
Of Ferdinand the doddering king.
The active part that the Bloody
Marie plays in determining the pol
icies of her government is revealed
by the fact that she is now in this
country developing those contacts
that will result in huge loans being
advanced to bulwark her crumbling
throne.
To be sure, nit-wits of the kept
press, who quickly pass away If they
gave birth to an idea Of their own,
believe that Marie is here on
friendly visit having parties" in
all the principal cities, wading
around in the rain and snow, just
for the fun of it. The price that
Marie has put on her visit is a
s100, 100000 loan. She has no doubt
already received pledges for that
amount. Not for pin money. Not
for cigarettes. Not cosmetics. Not
TO decorate herself as queen. But to
maintain the tyranny she heads
over the peoples of many tongues
thrown together under Roumanian
rule by the Versailles peace pact.
That is why she hasn't had much
time to worry about the kings
royal bellyache at home. She has
not been in a position until now to
rush back to the royal palace at
Bucharest to see that Ferdinand
does not overeat. 1t is only now
that she is able to cut short her
tour at Louisville and rush to New
York preparatory to sailing home
with her Christmas gift from Ameri-
can finance securely pocketted.
Marie has attended to the growing
ailments Of her royal government,
that needs continuous applications
of precious gold in order to keep it
alive. That gold will be supplied by
Wall Streets international bankers
because world finance must plug up
the leaks in its sinking imperialist
ship OF state.
