Great Lakes Trade Affected. Mine owners who live here ex- pressed hopes that Lewis and Far- rington would reeth an agreement. They claim that the future of the coal trade of the great lakes is affected by the controversy. X For years Ohio and Pennsylvanla operators have shipped annually on an average of 20,000,000 tons of valued at approximately $100,000,00 to the northwest. They point out that should the Illinols miners and operators reach a separate agreement, the Illinole mine owners would have the advantage over those of this séc- tion in furnishing fuel to the north- wes! ‘ long as they have est. The Illinois operators have ex- pressed their willingness to negotiate an_agreement. Between 50 and 60 per cent of the coal shipped up the lakes is mined in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylva- nia, while the remainder comes from other districts In these states, Ken- tucky and West Virginia. Of that mined in eastern (Ohio S0 per cent Boes into the lake trade. The policy committee was expected to arrange affairs In such shape that the strike, once it started, would run automaticall Steps also were to be taken, it was understood, which will make it unnecessary for the interna- tional officials to send out orders from Indianapolis. PRESIDENT URGED TO ACT. President Harding has been asked by the Peoples’ Reconstruction League, through its executive secretary, Benja- min C. Marsh, to have the government take over the coal mines and operate them in case of a nation-wide mine strike. A letter was sent to the President today by the league, in which it as- serts that “the iraminence of a coal strike demands immediate action by the administration to compel the profi- jteering coal operators to pay fair i wages to all operatives.” The letter to the President requests the government “to take over the coal mines under impiled authority if the coal strike occurs, and to pay decent wages to the miners.” The President is reminded in the' letter that the Newton-Kenyon bill, now pending be- fore Congress, empowers the President, when the Federal, Trades Commission certifies a public emergency exists, to take over any or all coal mines and to operate them, and suggests that the President In person, request Congres: immediately to enact the Newton: Kenyon bill Mr Harding and his cabinet were urged in a telegram taken to the White House today by Representative Upshaw, democrat, Georgla, to take action to compel mine operators to meet the miners in a wage confer- ence before the present contract ex. pires on March 31, or, in event of re- fusal of the operators to do so, for the government to take over the mines and operate them until the operators agree to such a conference. The telegram was from E. L. Quinn of the Atianta (Ga.) Federation of ‘Trades, and Mr. Upshaw requeste that the matter be brought before the cabinet at its meeting today. REPLIES TO WARNING. Ry the Associnted Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 24.—At torney General Daugherty’s warning to coal miners against violence durs: ing the strike set for April 1 was in- terpreted by Williain Green, zecre- -treasurer of the . Ugited Mine kérs, as’indicating; that the forces of the government would | be used against the strikers for the benefit of coal operators, who, he add- ed, “constitute the only group which thus far has committed violence.” “The only impression which can be obtained from an analysis of the at- titude of the government,” he said in & statement, “is that If necessary the miners will be coerced in order to guarantee a production of coal, but the cosl operators may commit vio- lence by rafusing to carry out their contract and at the same time re- ceive the protection of the govern- ment.” In his statement, Mr. Green' sald: “The Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Daugherty, is certainly Ppremature in issuing a warning to the miners against violen: There is no disorder in sight among the ooal miners nor is any violence threatened. If the Attorney General wants to put down violence why does he not pro- ceed againat the coal operators, who, in refusing to comply with an agree. ment which they solemnly made, have menaced the public peace and public ‘welfare. A group of men which does violence to an agreement is no less gullty than thosse who commit violence during public stress. and turmoil. “Two years ago the government com- pelled the miners to do what it want- ed done, The miners were subjected to court prooceedings, their leaders were arrested and the executive, Judicial and military branches of the government were utilized in order to compel the miners to return to work. “The Department of Labor has failed in its efforts to persuads the coal op-| erators to comply with an agreement, and now comes the Attorney General warning the miners against violence.” THIRD STEP TAKEN IN CONSTRUCTION OF BIG CATHEDRAL | (Continued from First Page.) | | and Mrs. James Parmelee; Dr. and Mrs. William C.

When he was informed there was none, Senator Robinson atked for a mll‘ call on the adoption of article L. The clerk had started the call and Sena- tor Ashurst had answered ““No." Then Senator Roblnson asked to withdraw the request for a roll call, since, he said, there was particular objection to article 1. But Senutor Poindexter of Washing- ton demanded the reguiar order, which | was the continuance of the roll cal By a vote of 74 to 15 the Senate agreed to articlel.

The Senate then proceeded to vote on ‘the first reservation offered by Senator-Hobinson of Arkansas, under which, If any controversy should arise between any of the contracting powers and outside powers, and a confere: in_atcordance with the terms of the treaty should e calied, the outside powers should be in- vited to take part. The Robinson reservation was de- feated, fifty-nine to thirty-three. Some democrats, who were counted upon ta vote for the treaty, joined with the opponents in supporting this reservation, It was known, how- ever, that this'would be the case, and when the vote came on ratification of the treaty. ‘the democrats. who so voted were expected to swing back to the support of the pact. : At this point Senator Hitchcogk of Nebraska. proposed an amendment to article 1I, providing that confer- ences among the four powers in re- gard to difficulties with outside powers. should be called only in the event of “unprovoked aggression” by outside powers. On the Hitchcock amendment, the véte was sixty-three to tWenty-nine, defeating 1 Other Amendments Killed. An amendment was offered by Sen- ator Shields of Tennessee, to article 11, providing that the United States gives Its consent to the treaty for the -sole purpose of aiding by its friendly offices.in removing friction between the high contracting parties concerning- their insular dominions and possessions in the Pacific ocean region, but without purpose to de- part from the traditional American foreign policy, which forbids partici- pation by the United States in the settlement of questions and conten- tions of foreign nation The amendment, which is consid- ered by some of the democrats a slap at the league of nations, was voted down, 73 to 18.

They argued that the op- position had misrepresented the terms of the treaty and the situation it would create, and asserted that re- jection of the four-power plan would Jeopardize the whole program of the arms conference. Both Senators Glass and Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, assalled th course of their party leader, Sen ator Underwood of Alabama, who was 2 member of the arms delegation and who has worked actively for ratifica tion of the treaty. Mr. Glass de- clared the Alabama senator had made but a poor explanation of his posi- tion, and Senator Caraway declared the leader Instead of taking his democratic colleagues into his confl- dence had conferred regularly with the republican leader, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, and with President Harding. Galleries Crowded. Throughout the day and again last night the Senate galleries were crowded and long lines of men and women stood for hours in the corri- dors waiting for a possible chance of admission. senators heard the afternoon debate, but a unanimous agreement that no business was to be done at last night's session thinned out attendance on the floor to a handful. The evening session opened with an attack on the treaty by Senator Wat- son, democrat, Georgia, who paid his respects to Willlam Jennings Bryan for the latter's advocacy of ratifica- tion. Making his final stand against the treaty, Senator Borah pleaded that his country would not depart from its pathway of freedom to project itself into entanglements, the danger of which, he said, already began to be. come apparent. He gquoted a speech recently made by Trotsky, the Rus- sian_bolshevik leader, predicting that ithe day soon would come when Russia could have her reckoning with Ja pan and alluding directly to the nev four-power arrangement. In & colloquy with the Idaho sena- tor, Senator Brandegee gave his opin- —— e 1 ed by Senator Johnson of California, &n opponent of the treaty, providing that/if 2 conference is held by the four powers, to arrive at an under- standing as to measures to be taken in case of & controversy with an out- side power, those measures should be “pacific.” ‘This amendment was de- feated, 65 to 26. Reed Plan Defeated. Article III, which provides that the jtréaty shall continue in effect for 1ten years, and may thereafter be con- tinued, was up next. Senator Reed of Missouri offered an amendment the effect of which was to limit ab- solutely the life of the treaty to ten years. It was defeated, 64 to 29. A second amendment to this article offered by Senator Reed proposing that any of the contracting powers |: desiring to cease to be & member of the compact could do so by giving two years' notice at any time. This was deteated, 63 to 28. Article III was adopted by the Senate by 2 vote of 67 to 26. Article IV Adopted. Article IV of the treaty, which pro- vides for the abrogation of the Anglo- Japanese alliance when the four-pow- er treaty has been ratified by all four powers, and which also provides for the exchange of ratifications of the four-power treaty, was adopted by the Senate, 73 to 8, many of the op- ponents of the treaty supporting it. dizposdd of amendments to tie treaty. The resolution of ratification was then before the Senate and Senator Lodge offered the committee reservation, known as the Brandegee “no alliance” reservation. To this Senator Walsh of Montana offered an amendment provid- ing that in case any controversy shail arize between any of the contracting parties and outside powers, and a con férence of the four powers is held, in conformity with the treaty, the outside nations should be invited to attend. ‘Walsh Amendment Fails. The Walsh amendment to the com- mittee reservation was defeated 55 vote on the Walsh amendment showed eight democrats and one republican counted upon to vote for ratification as voting for the Walsh amendment. The democrats were Senators Broussard, Dial, Fletcher, Kendrick, Myers, Pomerene, Ransdeli and Trammell. The republican was Senator Norris. .Senator Robinson off Arkansa: miediately reoffered the Walsh amend- ment, but as a’separate reservation. It was defeated, 56 to 36. An amendment to the committee reservat offered by Senator Pitt- man, providing that the United States should have the right to invite any outside poweér with which a contro- versy may-have -arisen to a confer- fm- “| ence of ‘he four powers, held in ac- cordance with the treaty, was voted down, 60 to 31. : Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, republican, an opponent of the treaty, then offered a series of amendments. His first provided that the United States consented to the ratification of the treaty with the. understanding that the ‘' Anglo-Japanese alliance should not, in fact or in substance, be renewed during the life of the four- power treaty. It was rejected, 62 to 80. By a vote of 59 to 27, the Senaje turned down a reservation offered by Senator La Follette providing that none of the contracting parties should enter into any separate arrangement or understanding with another power, with reference either to their insular possessfons in the Pacific or to the Asiatic mainland, which shal, in any way, prejudice the objects and rights of the parties under this treaty, or which shall be inconsistent with the terms of the four-power treaty.
