This petition, in addition to asking that the present restraining or- fer be made a temporary injunction, wsks for a court order to compel the migers’ heads to withdraw their strike cull In thelr defense against that part of the government's prayer for a man- datery erder to rescind the strike, the matners, it is understood, will bring up the question of whether or mot the unfon offiicals can call off the strike if ofdered by the court. The miners hays contended at all times since the sirike call was issued that as the walk-out was ordered by the Cleve- land conventlion, they were powerless o arrest it and that only another ses- slon of the convention could authorize the miners to return to work.

Washington, Nov. 7—The first af-; firmative etep toward qualification of the peacé treaty was takow today by the senate after administration leaders, with the backing of President Wilson, had reaffirmed their intention of vot- ing against ratification if the reserva- tions drawn by the senate majority are adopte The initial test of strength on the reservation program of the foreign re- lations committee found the republi- cans almots solidly united hehind it, the group of mild reservationists who helped kill the committee’s amend- ments and the irreconcilable group of treaty foes standing together for the first time since the long treaty fight began. : By a vote of 48 to 40, the senate approved, after all efforts to amend it had failed, the committee’s preamble to the weservation group requiring that to make the treaty binding at least three of the four great powers must | accept the senate gualifications. The only republican who did no tswing into line for the proposal was Senator Me- Cumber of North Dakota, while three democrats, Senators Reed, Missouri, Gore, Oklahoma, and Walsh, Massa= chusetts, voted with the majority. When adjournment was reached, the | first of the fourteen reservations was under debate, the republican leaders were claiming they had safe majorities pledged for the entire group. The mild reservationists, it was declared, had turned down a new democratic offer of compromise, while the irreconcila- le wing was devising a plan to defeat the treaty ‘entirely. The plan to vote against the treaty and thus deadlock the ratification fight was declared to have President Wil- son’s unqualified support. Senator Hitehcock of Nebraska, the democratic leader. saw the president during the day for the first time since Mr. Wilson returned from his speaking tour and went over the entire situation. Afte ward Mr. Hitchcock said the executive regarded the committee reservations as “destructive” and the preamble as “very embarrassing.” % The president was said to have as- serted an asgressive opposition to ac- ceptance of reservations which would impair the' treaty, but to have shown a willingness to leave the matter of & compromise in the hands of the admin- istration senators to _be_worked out after the deadlock stage had been reached.- Mr. Wilson explained. Sena- tor Fitchcock said; that he had sent | for the administration leader to sive ussurance of his support in the con- templated program and of his grati- tud eover the successful fight against smendments, After the White House conference the democratic leader declared his con- viction that there would be no com- promise until the deadlock actually had developed. He conceded that most of the committee reservations would be written into the ratification resolution and that after the latter had been killed by democratic votes an unquali- fied ratification resolution also would probably fail. Then the time would be rine, he declared, for the senators favoring ratification without reserva- tions apd those ting ratification with rescrvation to get together. By leaders of the reservation repub- licavs the possibility of such a com- 2 hatically denfed, and . ared tne group had gone as far as it would go in curtailing treaty qualifications. As it was adopted by the senate, the reservation preamble was as follow: “The_reservations and understand- ings adopted by the senate are to be made a purt and condition of the reso- lution of ratification. which ratification is not to take effect or bind the United States until the said reserva- tions and understandings adonted by the semate have been accented by an exchange of notes as a part and con- dition of said resolution of ratification bv at least three of the four principal allied and assoclated powers, to wit. Great Pritain, France, Italy and Japan.” The roll call on the preamble fol- lows: For Adoption. Republicans: Ball, Borah, Brandegee, Calder, Capper, Colt, Cummins, tis. Dillingham.

As a result of the day’s developments four separate elements in the senste were claiming to hold the balance ot power which ultimately would decide the treaty's fate, The democratic leag~ ers claimed it on the basis of their deadlock ‘program, and the republicai leaders on the strength of the united republican ‘support of the committee. The claim of the mild reservationists was based on their determination i force acceptance of reservations jusl as they had forced rejection of ame: ments. 53 The fourth element, the irreconeila- bles, although not admitting they had any definite plan. pointed out that should they decline to support certain reservations in their present form they might secure ihelr defeat and then kill the treaty on a vote for unresel ratification.

VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL AT LABOR CONFERENCF Washington, Nov. 7.—Vice Presi- dent Marshall visited the international’ labor conference late today, making & short address and shaking hands with the delegates. The visit came as'a surprise at a moment when the labor delegates were putting forward amend- ments to the convention on hours of work. Announcing that he spoke for nobody but himself, the vice president told the delegates that he occupied “the most unique position of any official on tho face of the globe,” for the reason: that “I am-without power or:authority .or: influence.” “ER Mr. Marshall stated that he di know enough about the probiems } fore the conference to discussthemrin- telligently, g “I have troubles enough of my own,” he said, adding amid laughter and ap- plause, “I preside over the senate of the United States” “But I do have some idea as fo how the many wrongs which exist in the relations of labor and capital are tg be solved,” he said, “and I cannot help saying this to you: ¥ % “For God’s sake, get at the solutio: of these problems in a spirit of amity and concord and friendship and com- mon human sympathy.’ * S. R. Parsons of Canada announced today that he dissented from the ma~ jority report of the employer repre- sentatives on the draft convention re- garding a 48-hour week, giving as his reason that “until the United States has spoken Canada must keep silent.” He argued that it would be “sui- cidal” for Canada to take action 80 long as wacertainty exists as to wheth= er the United States will ratify the treaty of peace, and, in case of rati- fication, whether reservations may be adopted imposing restrictions on labor legislation. 3 The labor group today introduced its amendments to the proposed draft con- vention submitted by the organizing committee. The two principal changes suggested were that the legislation should refer to “commercial undertakings” as weil a sto industrial establishments, and that the eight-hour day and 4§-houm week would he laid down as maxima instead of a simple declaration for 43-hour week. Saturday half holidays week were and a 44-hour mendex “recom w9 WOULD CREATE A NATIONAL DEPARMENT OF EDUCATION Atlantic City, S. A'Hearne, o N.
