Columbus, 0., Jan. 6.—Defending the action of himself and Acting President John L. Lewis in agreeing to accept President Wilson's proposal for set- tlement of the soft coal miners’ strike, William Green, international secretary of the United Mine Workers, declered the only other alternative was “dis- aster and defeat for the miners' or- ganization.” £ “We could have whipped the coal operators, but we could not if we had wanted to whip the strongest govern- ment on earth—our government. which had just finished whipping Germany. “If we had not accepted President Wilson's proposal of settlement, the powers of the | federal government would have been turned loose on us with greater ferocity than anything we have ever seen,” Green continued. “We knew we had reached the limit," he asserted as the delegates, with loud applause and cheering, voiced approval of what he said. “With every mining community in the country honeycombed with federal agents. gathering evidence against our, men, our funds tied up’and women and children freezing and facing starva- tion, how, in the name of God, could we go on with the strike?” Green con- tinued. Green's speech followed an attemnt on the part of some of the delegates, led by Robert H: Harlin, president, of the Washington miners, to defeat the purpose of the motion b Philin H. Murray of Pennsylvania to apnrove the actions of the officers, bv requiring the award which is to be made -by the president's commission to be submit- ted to a referendum yote or a recon- vened convention of the United Mine ‘Workers. Secretary Green and Acting Presi- dent Lewis warned the delegates that to do otherwise than to accent the proposal would not be keepin~ faith with the president’s proposal and that the commission mizht not make any award if the miners should decide to reserve the right to a referendum on the commission’s findings. Lewis ruled Harlin's_amendment_put of order. Both Lew: and Green stated that acceptance of the president’s pro- posal meant that the miners acreed to abide by the decision of the presi- dent's commission. Lewis declared the public and the commission are enti- tled to .know whether the operatérs and the miners will abide bv ‘its de- cision. “If they do not agreed to abide Dby the decision, then there can be no arbitration,” Lewis said. The presi- dent’s proposal. Lewis said, was predi- cated wnon his belief that it would be acceptad by both parties. Lewis will, address the conyention {fomorrow and then the danvention wiil wvate o1 the motion to affirm the -us tion of the office The debate over {he Harlin amend- ment and the sveech of Green clarified the conventlon ‘situa- tion and developed the real purpose of the convention, which is to accent or reject the president’s proposal to arbi- trate. BANKERS ARE TO HOLD ANOTHER CONFERENCE Washington, Jan. 6.—Bankers repre- senting clearing house associations in all parts of the country, meeting here today at the call of the federal reserve board, failed to take final action on the question of interest rates on bank bal- ances, but decided ' to conference at which it is expected an tigreement may be reached to put a top to competitive bidding between New York and inland cities for out-of- town deposits. At the request of the bankers, the federal reserve hoard tonight i a call for a second conference at Chi- cago, January 23, to be attended by three representatives from each federa reserve district. A resolution adopted by the con- ference gave out the following pro- | positions as the “opinions” of the meeting: That the present “sliding scale” for advancing or reducing interest rates is not satisfactory. That existing regulations should not be abrogated until more satisfactory regulations are adopted governing the rates paid on deposit: That the federal reserve board should always be free to establish the rate of discount without reference to any cléaring house regulations as to the payment of interest. * That payment of high rates of inter- est on bank or commercial balances is unsound and is bad banking, and that every effort should should be made to avoid seh practice.

Paris, Jan. 6.—"The last recourse of Austria is to appeal to the American people not to leave seven million souls to perish most miserably,” said Ba- ron Eichoff, head of the Austrian del- egation, today. “I wish to say to the wives and mothers of America, in behalf of the wives and mothers of Austria, whose pride always has been large fami- lies, that they today stand in terror of maternity because of the agoniz- ing conditions under which the new generation ig being born, Still-birth is welcomedvin Austria as a providen- tial geliverance from the woes of in- fancy and from a miserable future.” Baron Eichoff said he had not been { officially informed of an’ unfavorable {reply by the United States to the re- { quest for credits necessary to buy food, but had been given semi-official- {1y to understand that the American { government was unable. to do any- thing without congressiondl author- ity. continued Baron Eichoff, “it is no longer a simple political or eco- nomic question, The economic and political results of ‘the starvation of Austria_have been sufficiently dwelt upén.
