BRITISH OFFER TO

Federation Advises Unions to

COAL SHORTAGE IS ACUTE
Yorkshire. Coal Miners Today Will
Make Final Ceclslon on New
. . Piece Hate Proposal. -
LONDON, July 25. The miners' feder
ation today accepted the government's
offer of new piece rates for coal mining
and recommended that all. the miners'
unions accept the proposition and re
turn to work. The Yorkshire miners
will meet tomorrow and decide whether
they will accept the proposition. It is
believed that they will do so.
The government is leaving navy men
at the mines where the men have gone
out until work is generally resumed
and the railways are continuing their
preparations for increased services
should there be -any such settlement;
The government's piece rate offer ac
cepted by the miners' federation, ac
cording to Robert Smillie, a mine
workers' leader, coincides with the
resolution adopted by the miners' con
ference at Keswick. It removes a
jrrievance which was the direct cause
of the Yorkshire strike.
Other Grievances Remain.
There still remain other grievances
f the miners which may be the cause
of trouble. The first of these is the
omission of the government to take
eteps in the direction of the recommen
dations in the recent Sankey report for
the gradual nationalization of mines,
and the second, the government's re-
lusai to grant the demands of the
miners for an impartial expert inquiry
into decreased output, which the miners
assert is due largely to the failure of
xne mine owners to keep their mines in
proper working order.
The strike of approximately a quar
ter of a million men threatened to para
lyze many industries.
The government proposition, based on
xne interim report of the Sankev r.oa!
commission that the reduction of out
put through reduced hours would be
less than 10 per cent, carried a gov
ernment assurance that piece workers
should not suffer any loss in earnings

the "White House whether all republic

with tba president. It had been un
derstood that all would be invited. So
far as could be learned, Senator
Warren of Wyoming and on or two
other senators were all that the presi
dent planned to see in the immediate
future.
The president was in bis study early
today and among the many matters
before him was that preparation of in
formation and documents relating to
the peace negotiations requested by
the senate.
Sensor Borah, republican Idaho, in
speech in ths senate today regarding
former President Taft's suggestion for
adoption of senate interpretations of
the peace treaty, said the former presi-
dent had taken the ''amazing' position
of Inferring that opposition to the
treaty was largely the result of Presi
dent "Wilson's partisan courae last fall
and during the peace negotiations-
Borah Agalaat Taft Plan.
The real debate in the senate on a
league, of nations, Mr. Borah said, had
begun two and a half years ago, and
he and other senators had taken the
same positions they take now.
"I am opposed to any interpretations.
reservations or amendments in this
treaty," Senator Borah said, "and I
hope the opportunity will be presented
for ma to vote against it aa a whole.
"When the fathers submitted the con
stitution to the states there were men
who thought they could make reserva
tions. Virginia, New York, Rhode
Island and others did put in construc
tions and reservations, but when the
time-came to invoke these reservations
the powers construing them paid no
attention to them whatever.
"And you would put your interpreta
tions Into this ratification and then
turn over the power to construe them
to nine men sitting at Geneva. Unless
they hava been accepted by the other
powers, they wjll bind nobody."
French Pact Rapped.
Replying to a question Mr. Borah
said that while he opposed reservations.
he might vote for them-if the parlia
mentary situation permitted him to
express his views in no other way. In
discussing the Monroe doctrine Mr.
Borah said:
"If I had my way I would retain
Washington's policy (against entan
gling alliances), and, if necessary, let
the Monroe doctrine go.
"Mr. Taft's suggestion for preserva
tion of the Monroe doctrine would be
utterly futile. There is just one way
to preserve it, and that is to stay out
of European affairs.
"The proposed French treaty is made
for war and not for peace. Premier
Clemenceau refused to approve the
league until the French-British-Araer-ican
treaty was provided for."
"The agreement to come to the res
cue of France against Germany," Sena
tor Hitchcock, democrat of Nebraska.
interjected, "will have the same effect
as the Monroe doctrine has In America.
It will prevent war by giving notice
in advance of the protection to be
given France."

senator declared, that he had no dis

thought reservations necessary, but
said he hoped senators would fully real

henator Warren, republican, of Wyo
ming also saw the president, but he
declined to discuss their talk.
The subject of reservations also
continued under discussion today at
conferences of pro-league republicans,
nnd the legal effect of any qualifica
tions adopted was debated at length in
the senate. Senator Pittman, Nevada,
h. democratic member of the foreign
relations committee, argued that any
reservation or interpretation would re
sult in resubmission of the treaty to

dangerous field of possibilities. Sena

Treaty Consideration Rapid.
The foreign relations committee
made such progress today in its read
ing of the treaty text that members
thought it might be completed at one
more meeting. Adjournment was taken
until Monday, however, and It was de
cided that after the reading was com
pleted the document would be laid

eenate also adjourned until Mondav.
Tomorrow Chairman Lodge will see
secretary Lanslirg, and while the con
feronce primarily concerns the Colom
bian treaty, it is expected various mat
ters concerning the Versailles nego
tiations also will be discussed.
Senator Idgc did not call up today

indicated that action on the measure

Notice also was taken at the White
House during the day of senate discus

France, which Senator Lodge and others
have charged the president is with
holding from the senate in direct viola

White House officials made it clear that

The president plans, it was stated, to
present the French treaty after his tour
of the country, which will not begin
until about August 10, and may con
tinue lor several weeks. In debate sen
ators have pointed out that published
texts of the document require that it
must be laid before the senate at the
"same lime" as the Versailles treaty,
winch was presented more than two
Weeks ago.
When the president presents the
treaty he evill accompany it with an
explanatory address to the senate. No
statement was made at the White
House with regard to the charges in
the senate that the president violated
a section of the treaty by not present
ing it simultaneously with the treaty
of Versailles.
The president paid an unexpected
call on Secretary Baker in the state,
war and navy building just before
noon. He did not communicate his
intention to White House attaches, and
crossed the street from the White
House unattended.
After conferring half an hour with
Sir. Baker, the president called on
fcrecretary Lansing, remaining about 10
minutes. He then returned to the
White House. There were no intima

Japaneae Sincerity Doabted.
Ex -i President LI regretted Japan's
dealings with China during the early
part of the war, and he used bitter
words against the Japanese demands
contained in the historical 21 articles.
He eeemed to misunderstand Japan's
declaration as to the return of Shan
tung and appeared to doubt a little
Japan's sincerity on that point. Mr.
Tamamoto continued:
"Mr. Lt contrasted American conduct
in China to Japanese. The United
States was peaceful and generous and
showed in everything she does that she
is truly China's friend, with no motive
of aggression. This is why America is
liked by the Chinese

Chairman Lodge, of the senate for
eign relations committee, eaid today
the Colombian treaty would be taken
up by the committee next week, with
plans for its immediate ratification by
the Senate. Action on the treaty has
been urged by state aepartmeiit oni-
cials.
It was understood that an agreement
had been reached by which the com
mittee would eliminate the clause of
the treaty suggesting regrets to Co
lombia for partition of Panama.
Republicans have held up ratiflcation
of the treaty for several years because
of this clause, and some time ago the
amount of the damages to be paid Co

Mr. Tamamoto said that during his

with membership limited to English,
Americans and Chinese. To his mind
the exclusion of Japanese was ex

and Americans misunderstood Japan as

The commission adjourned until

The electric railway industry is fac

the federal electric railway commission

'The electric railways are face to

The granting of this demand would
mean a very material increase in
