THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. JULY 23. 1919. 'BLOW FOR BLOW IS GALL TD DEMOCRATS Chairman Cummings. Tells Party to Defend Wilson. PETTY CRITICISM DISGUSTS United and Aggressive Action i Campaign of 1920 Solicited in Address to Omaha Leaders, OMAHA, Neb., July. 24. "Blow for blow" was the slogan and rallying" call to democrats here tonight when Homer K.. Cummings, chairman of the" demo cratic national .committee, addressed a crowded meeting of Nebraska demo crat ic leaders at the Omaha "Athletic club. The national committee was repre sented not only by Mr. Cummings. but by Mrs. Klizabeth Bass, associate mem ber of the committee, and Mrs. Antoin ette Funk of Washington, D. C, head of the women's editorial bureau of the democratic national committee. "W. D. Jamieson, director of finance for the national committee," also took part in the day's speaking. "The time has come," said Mr. Cum mings, "for democrats not only to stand together, but to stand together ag gressively, supporting an affirmative programme- by positive- action. If I have any power in t h-e o a n sel of the party t propose to uso it for pressing every advantage . that comes t our hands. We have the aggressive now and we shall not lose it. Criticism of AViison Scored. - MThe campaign of 1920 has already begun. I am ticed of having men criticise the president on petty grounds. The manner in which hennas been traduced has been the moat shameful, dastardly, disgraceful, hu miliating spectacle that this country has ever seen. "The time is here when democrats should resent this sort . of thing, when they should give blow for. blow and then some." Speaking of what he termed the ob structive tactics of partisan repub licans in the senate as regards the league of nations covenant, , Mr. Cum mings said: ' "No man and no 'nation intentionally placing obstacles in the way of a league of nations will survive long enough to outlive the memory pf such an offense against humanity and civil ization. League Issue "Cleareat."- MThe covenant of the league of na tions has become one of the great facts of history. The treaty of peace, in cluding the covenant of the league, must be accepted or. rejected. Sena torial critics can no longer find a com fortable hiding place under tbe pretext that they favor a league of nations but are opposed to tbe suggested form of a league of nations. The issue is clear cut and unmistakable. They are ei their in favor of this particular league or they are opposed to any league at all. - "It is said the praised covenknt of peace is too vague. It is one of the chief merits of the draft that it does not pretend to pass upon every con ceivable question, but provides within itself a certain degree of flexibility so that new adjustments may be made as nsw conditions develop and so that readjustments may be made where er rors have crept in. The criticsm of vagueness is the product of superficial minds. The constitution of the United States is looked upon as one of the most perfect of public documents, and yet it required ten amendments within a year after its original promulgation, and it has been amended from time to time since then. "We ask for the establishment of a league of nations because we know that if it is not now secured it may remain forever an unrealized dream." BRITISH STRIKE NOW END COAIi MIXERS SAID TO FAVOR COMPROMISE. Committee Appointed to v Pleee Rate Offer by Government. Consider Made LONDON", July 24. (By the Associ ated Press.) Today was fully occu pied with conferences betweeit Premier lloyd George and other members of the government and the mining in terests and closed with the prospect of settlement. According to the strike leaders in Yorkshire, the whole trouble arose through an attempt by the coal controller to evade the piece rate pro visions of the Sankey report, which the government had adopted as a work ing basis. One result of today's conference be tween the premier and the miners" executive was a new piece rate offer on the part of the governmnt, w-hich the miners federation appointed a sub committee to consider. The sub-committee held a conference this evening with the coal controller. No official report of this conference has been issued, but it was unofficially stated that when the miners' federa tion meets in the morning to consider the sub-committee's report there is every prospect that a settlement will be reached. In the event of the government's offer being accepted it involves the appoint ment of a amall commlttee representing: the coal mines department and the min ers federation, to adjust -a formula adapted to the requirements of the dif ferent districts. The settlement will come none too soon. Evidence is accumulating hourly of how heavy the coal shortage is pressing on all industries and public services. The government has Already stopped the export of coal from Cardiff and the railways have plans laid, for a severe restriction of their services to begin Mondav if the strike is not set tled. A satisfactory aspect of the atrike Is the fact that there have been no dis orders of any kind and no attempt to hinder the naval men who have been engaged in keeping as far as possible the mines from flooding. The situation in regard to pumping and ventilation underwent a great improvement today. There have been some extensions of the strike movement, but'at the same time many strikers have resumed work, notably in Nottinghamshire, where it was announced late tonight that the strike had ended. FIGHTERS FOR PROHIBITION Straw Vote Shows "Drys" Leading 13 Ballots.

GIBBQNS APPROVES LEAGUE Cardinal Expects Congress Will Ratify Document in End. BALTIMORE", July 24. Cardinal Oib bons today authorized the following statement with regard to his attitude toward the league of nations: "It is my firm conviction that after thorough and honest discussion in both houses of congress both parties will finally arrive at a common agree ment, based on a Just and sincere league of nations that will give us a reasonable guarantee against the hor rors of war in the future as well as well-grounded assurance of lasting peaoe, without in any way impairing American sovereignty or surrendering any American right, and without in volving us in entangling alliances. 1 am sure that an early adoptian of the league of nations will infuse intense joy throughout the United States with out distinction of party, and will be haiLed with satisfaction by the allied powers of( Europe.'

The airmen tonight received from Mr. Praeger a telegram stating that the orders applying to the two pilots had not been revoked and asserting that where flying conditions are such that they cannot operate, they have the option to resign." Safer Machines Desired. According to the men at Belmont field, the strike will affect the aviators at Chicago, Cleveland, Bellefonte as well as Belmont park.

They further asserted hey had asked for stabilize -s. which. in a fog, would show whether the men were flying on an even keel or unside down. These Indicators, the men say, cost $75, but they were informed, thev say, by Mr. Praeger that they "should steer by compass, as.the turn indicators were too expensive." The pilots further complained that under the present system mechanics ho work in the hangars and never fly receive equal pay with the men who risk their lives carrying the aerial mail. This pay ranges from 12000 to J360J a year, they said. The aerial mail pilots are not em ployed under the civil service law. They are civilians with the same status as postmen. Virtually all are former army aviators. MINERS' HEARING IS NEM WAR. KKLIKK COMMISSION TO SIT AT MKUtORD MONDAY. Eastern Oregon Claims for Losses Will Be Considered - in Portland Later.

The government, more than two years ago. Issued a nation-wide ap peal for miners to prospect and develop their property for chrome and man ganese ore. both of which were sorely needed at that time In the manufacture of war materials. In response to this appeal, numerous miners and corporations began heavy development work and were getting prepared to turn out these two grades of ore when hostilities were brought to close. The mining men consequently suffered heavy financial losses. Congress appropriated $8,500,000 to recompense the miners for the losses they sustained, and the commission. which is now conducting the hearings ls determining the adjustment to be made. John F. Shafroth. ex-United States senator from Colorado, is chairman of the commission. The other members are Philip N. Moore, a prominent min ing engineer of New York, and former Representative Martin D.
