Delegates said no vote had been taken. The union heads, who include inter- national officers, district presidents nd members of the executive board and scale committee, resumed _their deliberations at 7.30 tonight, but it was the general belief that no formal ac- tion would be taken before tomorrow. In view of the provision of the court order instructing the miners’ chiefs to present to the court for approval their order withdrawing the strike call of Oct. 15 within 72 hours, it'was predict- ed tonight that no announcement would be made by the miners befors the expiration of that time. The court order was, signed at 12.25 p. m. Satur- day, therefore the union officials must report to the court by that time tomor- row. Although today’s meeting was closed and extraordinary measures were taken to prevent the proceedings from becoming public, it was ascertained connected remarks dropped by as they left tke hall for lunch and dinner that the discussion brought out wide diverzence of opinion as to what course the coal workers should pursue with regard to the order of the court. Alexander’ Howat, president of the Kansas district. remarked to Frank Farrington, president of the 'Illinois district as’ they passed newspaper- men: “That was a good &peech you made, Frank. T agree with it fully. Mr. Howat, before leaving Kansas for the conference here, gave.out a atement in -which We declared that gardless of injunction, prisons and judges,” Le interfded to fight. Another delegate said: “It isn't a_question of going to jall, These men have no fear of that.

Lewis, acting president of the mine workers, at the close of bath ssions today, said: We haven't a thing to give out at this time.” There was every indication that the majority of the mine workers are de- termined to weigh carefully all phases of the issue before taking any step. The only action of the government today in connection with the strike was the serving of 43 copies of the temporary injunction issued Saturday. Those served were men whom federal agents failed to reach awith the origy inal - restraining order. The writs served are returnable Dec. 1 instead of Nov. 20, the date on which the original orders are returnable. At 19.30 o'clock tonight delegates in- tercepted in the corridors adjoining the | convention halM said that the miners’ general committee expected to stay in continuous session until some decision was reached, and ome man vredicted that this would not occur before 2 a. m. It was stated, however, that should the delesates asree it was mot likely any statement would be made before to- morrow. . CALL TO FIX DATE AND PLACE FOR REP.NATIONAL CONVENTION icago, Nov. 10.—A formal call will be issued tomorrow by Will H. Hays, chairman, of the republican national committee for a meeting of the com- mittee In Waghington, Dec. 10, to fix the date and place for the national convention in 1920. Thig information was learned from authoritative sources toight following ‘an informal session of twenty-five members of the committee, It was learned also from this same source that the meeting today was one of a series of informal gather- mal gatherings which hawe been held the second Monday in the month re- cently at various state headquarter: These meetings, it was said, will be continued for some time, A detailed plan of organization which will provide for full participa- tion of republican women in the fu- ture affairs of the party was adopted at today's meeting. ‘The plan adopted was Tecommend- ed by the republican national wo- man’'s executive - committee of which Mrs. Medill McCormick of Illinois was chairman, appointed a year ago to work out a practical method by which ‘women could take an active part in the party managemerit. In pufting this plan into effect the committee today created a woman's division of the republican committee and elected Mrs. John.G. South of Frankfort, Ky, chairman. There will be a representative of the woman's division in every state. In addition there will be a national wo- man's council of 100 members, 't personnel of which will be announc later, WET LEADERS AGAIN CLAIM VICTORY IN OHIO Columbus, O., Nov. 10.—If the official vote bears out wet leaders in Cincin- nati who reported a gain of 764 votes for the wets, Ohio last Tuesday ap- parently voted. against ratifying the federal prohibition amendment by more than 700 votes.

During the day the reservation drafted by the foreign relations committee almost identical with one which President Wilson has announc- ed he would regard as a rejection of the treaty, weathered all attempts to alter it and rallied repeatedly 4 support which seemed to insure its final a ceptance. A vote is expected tomor- row. The reservation provides that under the article, which pledges states to preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of all members, the United States shall as- sume no obligation to use its navat or military forces except on exuress authorization of congress in every specific_case. s The debate which summed up six months of senate discussion of the subject reached a high pitch of bit terness several times during the’ day It developed another ‘spirited clash on the question of Ireland’s status under the article, Senator Williams, demo- crat, Mississippi, assailing ~ Irish- Americans who oppose the league and Senator Walsh, dezorcrat, Massachu- setts, replying in g speech charging that the administration had undertak- en to deprive him of all federal patron- age because he di treaty without qualification. Just before adjournment the unit- ed republican forces backing the reser vation were almost split by a demo- cratic proposal to make the qualifi- cation -even more sweeping in - its recovered their hold on the situation the committee draft had passed. The amendment on which the repub- licans momentarily. divided was intro- duced by Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, a staunch administration supporter, and would have added to the reservation a proviso that the Tnitef States “releases all members of the league from any obligation to it under Article Ten and declines to par- ticipate in any proceedings by the council authorized thereby. Republicans of the group irrecon- ciliably opposed to the trealy quick- ly displayed their pleasure and three of them, Senators Borah, Idaho; Fall, New Mexico, and McCormick, 1ilinoi: announced theywould support the pro- posal. & After some discussion the irrecon- the restrvations were atiached, had vet out to make the qualifications as on- noxious as possible.

RAILROAD BILL HAS RIGHT OF WAY IN HOUSE TODAY ‘Washington, Noy. 10.—The railroad Dbill will have the right of way in the house tomorrow with final vote set for Saturday, under an agreement reach- ed tonight by leaders. Action on the bill will be followed immediately by adjournment of the special session of congress, the agrecment provides, con- sideration of the measure by the sen- tte going overd until the regular ses- ion beginning in December. Under a rule adopted tonight the house agreed to meet two hours earlier than customary and to begin i night sessions_immediately. General | lgdebate will end on Wednesday. The house programme was framed after Representative Mondell, Wyom- ing, republican house leader, had been {informed by Senator Lodge that sen- ate leaders hoped to dispose of the Serman peace treaty by the end of the week. In the formal report on the house railroad bill, made today by Chair- man Esch of the Interstate Commerce Committee, it was revealed that the re contained u mandate to the for general increases of rates within sixty days after their return to provate operation. ~Unless | such applications for increases are ymade to the TInterstate Commerce { Commission, the bill will deny them | the guaranty, including continuance by {the government of their standard re- |turn for six months and their privilege {of obtaining government loans. Simultaneously with the report om the house measure, Senator Cummins, chairman of the ' senate interstate | commerce committee, submitted a re- i port, expressing his’ individual views on the senate plan of permanent rail- |road legislation. Defending the anti- strike provisio of the senate bill, Sen- lator Cummins declared that “strikes by railway workers must cease” and {that the arbitration boards created by {the bill would, “give justice to all.” Anti-strike legislation is not a_part of the house measure, Chairman Esch {in his report declaring that the house committee decided that such . provi- sions were ‘“unwise” and in lieu hereof adopted plans for conciliation {through voluntary ‘arbitration of dis- | putes.” His report provoked the first attack on the house bill, Representa- tive Blanton, Texas, contending ~ that the measure, particularly because the labor provisions, was “ridiculous. “The public has no guarantee or even promise against continued tie-ups of government industries,” Represen- tative Blanton asserted.
