ALL MB OF COAL
IN ENGLAND STOPS
Mo Sign of Mediation Seen in
Conferences.
PARLIAMENT IS AWAITED"
Government Reported Contemplat
ing' Compromise Offer, Provid
ing for Action by Tribunal.
LONDON. Oct. 18. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The cessation of coal
mining: throughout the country seems
complete, for, although the miners in
some districts appear to have entered
the strike in a half-hearted manner,
there is no sign of any break in their
ranks, and consequently the dislo
cation of the country's industries is
becoming widespread.
Nor is there indication of any medi
ation growing out of today's confer
ences, all parties apparently await
ing the reassembling of parliament
tomorrow.
There was an unconfirmed report
tonight that the government intends
to offer the miners a compromise of
one shilling a shift advance, provided
they accept submission of the whole
dispute to an independent tribunal.
Other Industries Are Hit.
The strike will hit the iron, steel
and cotton industries seriously. The
great blast furnaces in the Middles
borough district are beginning to
damp down; thousands of furnace
men and steel workers are idle. The
1 ees-side district provides a third of
tile whole Uritish output of pig iron
and it is feared, should the strike be
prolonged that some 25,000 men will
be without work.
Liverpool and Manchester announce
the impending suspension of the
tiamway services. The visit of the
I'rince of Wales to the city on
Wednesday has been rescinded, and it
ir. announced the pageant which was
to have been a feature of the lord
nayor's show has been abandoned.
Frank Hodges, of the miners' union,
h: s issued a statement intened to
p ove that the miners' wages since
1! 14 have not advanced commensu
r tely with the advance in the cost
of living.
Persons Hart 1b Disorders.
Disorders occurred in Whitehall
tt Jay during a demonstration of
unemployed men who had sent a
delegation to Premier Lloyd George
In Downing street. Several per
sons were injured in attempts to
break through a police cordon and
others were hurt when some stone
work from a window in the treasury
DiMiaing reu. An ugly situation de
v. loped. There were 1000 unemployed
were.
j ne aisoraer started when the tin
o .iployed demonstrators tried to
beak through the heavy police guard
and get into Downing street. During
tl is rush the window stones from
tl e treasury crashed down. Police
r inrorcements were rushed up and
irounted police were called out to
ai dist.
Settlement Is Expected.
.ionn rtoDert ciynes, ex-rood con
troller and orwe of the most moderate
o." labor leaders, has expressed con
fidence In settlement within a week
ii' both sides could be brought to-
BKiner to discuss calmly the con
tioversy. He advocated a.3 a basis of
a -reement the granting of half the
n ens' demands and submission of the
remainder to an impartial tribunal.
J. H. Thomas, general secretary of
the National Union of Railwaymen,
also has made moderate statements
and these men are relied upon to do
ineir utmost to shorten the strike.
Newspapers contrast the attitude
of Clynes and Thomas with that of
C. T. Cramp, president of the Na
tional Lnion of Hallway Men, who
1 as given significant warning to that
union or the "serious situation which
win Oe created if the miners are de
1 sated." They also call attention to
: n utterance by another prominent
laborite, Kd win Bevin, secretary of
the Dock Workers' union, who yes
terday accused the government o
having engineered the strike and
charged it with double dealing.
The transport workers and the rail
way men were evidently marking
lime today in deciding whether they
ould lend their support to the strik
ing coal workers. They appeared In
clined not to take precipitate action
pending possible arbitration between
tovcrnment and miners.
South Wales Is Radical.
The miners of the vital South
"Vales coal fields represent the bel
ligerent section. The bulk of the ex-
;remists of the federation are to be
found there and they are eager to
carry on the fight to the bitter end.
With the shipping, steel and iron
and other Industries already hard hit,
many thousands of men are out of
work In various parts of the country,
and it seems certain by the end of
the week that the total will be many
scores of thousands unemployed.
The general public already has be
gun to feel the effects of the restric
tions on coal supplies for lighting and
for storing away. The people awoke
today to find themselves faced with
sharp fall weather, which demanded
either fires or warmer clothing. If
the cold snap continues, it undoubt
edly will have an important effect
upon the situation.
All available supplies of coal have
been placed under government control.
LEAGUE FRIENDS ACCUSED

plete statements of their receipts, ex
penditures and pledges at Chicago on
Mnursday, October 28.
The report of Mr. Hunt's invest!
gation of the League to Knforce Peace
proved the sensation of the day.
iiojena oi confidential letters be
tween Mr. Tart, George W. Wicker
sham, Theodore Marburg and others
were given.
Houston Testimony Reported.
In his summary Mr. Hunt said that
Herbert S Houston testified before
the committee that he had talked with
the German chancellor. Lord Robert
Cecil and David Lloyd George in
regard to the United States enter
ing the League of Nations, and Ed
ward A. Filene of Boston, who has
been abroad on a similar mission,
19 now "in Germany on a mission
to get Germany into the league."
The correspondence and data
which follow bears out the- charge
which I am about to make." Mr.
Hunt's report said, "that this organ
ization has, through its officials, by
correspondence and conference, talked
with various officials of foreign gov-

emments about getting this and other (
countries into tne league oi iaiiono
peace treaty, all of which, fn my esti
mation, is in violation of the Logan
act."
Letter Is Made Public.
Mr. Hunt also reported that William
H. Short, secretary of the league,
took from the files certain letters be
tween Mr. Short and George W.
Wickersham in which Mr. Short pro
posed a campaign in the interest of
Governor Cox and Mr. Wickersham
"agreed in part." Mr. Short refused
to give up the letters, the report
stated, on the ground they were per
sonal. A letter from Mr. Wickersham -to
Mr. Short, dated July 30, 1920, said:
"Thank you, my dear Mr. Short, for
Arthur Sweether's memo. It is very
logical and sound. How much better
was Governor Coolidge's speech of ac
ceptance than that of Senator Hard
ing's." Other correspondence shows that
ex-President Taft threatened to re
sign from the presidency of the
league if .it took a partisan part in
politics and reiterated his belief that
Senator Harding will be elected and
that "the one hope 'of securing the
league with the Lodge reservations
is through the republican candidate."
f 25,000 Declared Expended.
The Hunt report . saia that the
league to enforee peace spent $2500
to finance a letter sent by Samuel
Gompers to 50,000 local unions asking
the union members to bring pressure
to bear on senators to have them vote
for the league of nations.
Other items of expenditure (riven in
Hunt's report include bills for pub
lication of advertisements in 44 cities.
and two bills, one of $24,583.25 and
the other $10,534.22. from the West
ern Newspaper union.
A letter from Theodore Marburg of
Baltimore to Secretary Short, dated
August 12, 1920, said that the "most
direct road to ratification of the
treaty) is the complete defeat of the
political party which has suffered the
conscienceless senate to ride its neck."
Another letter from Mr. Marburg
to Mr. Short, written at Baltimore on
April 29, 1920, discussed an article on
the league of nations written by
Hamilton Holt and added:
Article Reprint la Crged.
I strongly urge that the article in
question be reprinted in the type and
style of a newspaper clipping that
from the Times, preferably, and sent
to every delegate to the democratic
and republican conventions before the
meeting of the conventions."
The correspondence quoted ex-
President Taft as opposed to any par
ticipation of the League to Enforce
Peace in the present political cam
paign. A letter from Mr. Taft to Mr.
Short on August 19, 1920, said:
I am opposed even to a series of
questions propounded to presidential
candidates by the League to Enforce
Peace. Such questions cannot but
take on a partisan attitude."
Goltra Manager Testifies.
Joseph Davis, St. Louis attorney.
who managed the campaign for Mr.
Goltra, later testified that the na
tional committeeman had given him
approximately $4000 to spend in the
campaign. A large part of Mr. Gol
tra's examination was devoted tp his
activity as attorney for the Hostetter
Bitters company of Pittsburg in hav
ing the government remit taxes and
penalties of $162,000 assessed for fil
ing alleged false tax returns. Mrs.
Hostetter is Mr. Goltra's sister.
The witness denied that his suc
cess in having the fine remitted last
spring was in any way connected
with the fact that he was working
in the interest of the campaign of
Attorney-General Palmer for presi
dent, and denied he had ever dis
cussed the case with Mr. Palmer.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
committee, also questioned Mr. Goltra
about a moving picture film in which
William Jennings Bryan was to star
and to finance which he had sought
aid of the head of the Hostetter Bit
ters company. The witness said Mr.
Bryan had approached him with a
request that he help finance the mov
ing picture which was to visualize
Mr. Bryan's temperance views and he
had agreed. He went to Mr. Hos
tetter, he said, to borrow the money,
arranging to pledge bonds for secur
ity. Mr. Bryan and George Dalton,
who was to have produced the film,
later disagreed, and nothing ever
came of the venture.
Partisan Suppot Opposed,
On August 7, 1920, Mr. Taft sent
two letters to Mr. Short, one being a
confidential note, which said:
"I am enclosing this with a more
formal statement because I do not
wish to threaten to resign as a means
of preventing action by the executive
committee, which the members of
that committee may think it wise to
prepare to take, but if they conclude
to take any action looking to the
support of one party rather than the
other In the campaign, I wish to re
sign my position as president of the
league.
"I feel that Harding is going to be
elected and that the only chance for
the league with the Lodge reserva
tions is through him and his success.'
The "more forma,!" letter which ac
compamed the private note said in
part:
Hope Put la Republicans.
The one hope of securing the
league with the Lodge reservations
through the republican candidate.
His statement has not been thorough
ly satisfactory to me, but I still think
that circumstances will require him
to conform to his vote, twice record
ed in favor of the league with the
Lodge reservations and he had said
nothing since his acceptance speech
which will prevent him coming to
this solution of the difficulty which
will confront, him in any attempt to
negotiate a peace, a new association
or a league such as he suggests
his acceptance speech."
That the League to Enforce Peace
solicited $5000 in subscriptions from
a numbeer of wealthy men and worn
en was indicated in a letter from
Secretary Short to Mr. Wickersham,
under date of July 2, 1919. The letter
asked Mr. Wickersham to solicit such
subscriptions from Mrs. O. H. P. Bel
mont. T. Coleman Du Pont. Elbert H.
Gary, James W. Garard, William H.
Nichols, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., all
of New York, the late Murray Crane
of Dalton, Mass., and through Sen
ator Crane reach the late Theodore
N. Vail.
Financial Conditions Viewed.
More of the organization's financial
condition is indicated in a telegram
from Herbert S. Houston to Edward
A. Filene. sent on February 21. 1919.
when Mr. Filene was attending the
meeting of the mountain congress
for the league of nations at Salt Lake
City. The telegram which refers to
the money-raisers as "the troupe"
follows:
"Schiff, Cleveland Dodge. Morrow
and I are giving luncheon Tuesday at
Bankers' club and hope to raise con
siderable funds. Chase of Boston,
sending $16,400. Hill reports $50,000
of the $60,000 in definite pledges in
Chicago. Hope you are getting
abundant funds in the west. Best
regards to all members of the troupe."
A confidential letter from Mr.
Short to President Taft on July 8,
1919. said that Senator Hitchcock
democratic leader in the fight for the
league of nations, was present at a
conference with Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, when plans were made
to have labor unions bombard sena
tors with pleas for ratification of
the treaty and league covenant

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. Attorney
General Palmer today directed the
United States district attorney at San
Francisco "to make a full and com
plete investigation" of reports that
40 barrels of whisky and gin were
withdrawn from Dond at San Fran
cisco for the entertainment of the
delegates to the democratic national
convention. - .
At the same time Mr. Palmer In a
telegram to Acting Mayor McLeran
of San Francisco called upon that
official either to produce the proof
of or publicly retract a statement
attributed to him that Mr. Palmer
knew all about the whisky transac
tion at the time.
Qnlz Reveals Withdrawals.
Mr. Palmer's message to the acting
mayor was predicated upon special
dispatches from San Francisco ap
pearing in newspapers in Washington
and other cities. Theee dispatches
said facts as to the withdrawal of
the whisky bad been disclosed by a
grand jury .investigation.
Mr. Palmer's telegram to Mayor
McLeran follows: .
"My attention has just been called
to a dispatch from San Francisco that
40 barrels of whisky and gin were
withdrawn from bond on order of
Dr. William C. Hassler, city health
officer, ostensibly for use in the San
Francisco municipal hospital, but ac
tually for entertainment of delegates
to the democratic national convention,
according to facts revealed by grand
jury investigation. The dispatch fur
ther states as follows:
Palmer Knew, Says McLeran.
'Acting Mayor Ralph McLeran de-
lared that Attorney-General Palmer,
who was attending the convention,
knew all about the transaction.'
"If you have been correctly quoted
call upon you either to produce the
proof of your statement or publicly
retract it. I knew nothing about any
iquor being withdrawn in San Fran-
isco for any purpose. If my name was
used by any persons withdrawing
liquor it was entirely without my
knowledge or authority. If you have
any facts or 'information upon which
he statement was based, you should
furnish them immediately to the
United Slates attorney, whom I have
directed to make full and complete in
vestigation of this matter."
Later Suva announced that he had
been investigating the reports of
liquor withdrawals for the democrats
for some time."

Cox Renews Assault on Senators, I
Preaching League Gospel in
Northwestern New York.
BUFFALO. N. T., Oct. 18. Preach
ing his league of nation gospel today
in northwestern New York, Governor
Cox renewed assaults against Sena
tor Harding for alleged "wiggling
and wobbling" upon the league issue.
To six large audiences at Syracuse,
Rochester and Buffalo, and in two
rear-platform addresses en route, the
democratic candidate carried his
preachments upon the league, de
claring that it was "inspired by
God" and a "pledge" to American
soldiers and mothers.
At the Broadway auditorium and
Genessee hall here tonight. Governor
Cox declared that Senator Harding
had made a "slip" in stating that he
had been approached "unofficially"
by a French representative regard-
ngr "a world fraternity."
The French government," said
Governor Cox, "very promptly and
properly denies that there have been
any official overtures of any kind.
want to ask Senator Harding . . ,
whether it is not true that the 'rep
resentative of France" was not
Maurice de Kobra of Paris. If this
be true, and I have strong reasons
for believing that it is ... . we
have an instance of the kind of
counsel he will seek in international
affairs."
Governor Cox said that Mr. de Ko
bra. a correspondent for the Paris La
Liberte and who recently traveled
with the governor before going to ac
company Senator Harding, was an au
thor and humorist.
"Slip" Occurred in Speech,
Senator Harding's slip occurred.
Governor Cox continued, "in one of
his back platform speeches. The re
straint imposed by the intellectual
guard that has been with him for
weeks was for the moment with
drawn. The statement comes from
Marion that no more extensive speak.
ing tours will be made. Obviously
the republican party insist upon being
protected from the blundere of its
candidate. The circumstance creates
the question . . . as to what pro
tection America can devise against
presidential blunders if Senator Har
ding should chance to be elected.
Governor Cox reiterated that Sen
ator Harding had taken 13 variant
league positions and the democratic
nominee predicted that the American
people would. not approve an attempt
to "wiggle into the presidency.
Governor Cox asked whether, if
elected. Senator Harding, in carry
ing out his proposal for "plural gov
ernment," would consult with the
Johnson-Borah or other groups.
That a storm, a cyclone, of pro
test from republican men and women'
has followed Senator Harding's Des
Moines speech was asserted by Gov
ernor Cox to all his audiences.
"They've followed him until they
are dizzy and couldn't any more," he
declared.
Irsh Question Discussed.
Special reference to the Irish ques
tion was made tonight by Governor
Cox, who challenged Senator Hard
ing's position that it was not a mat
ter for "official America."
The nominee asserted his opponent
"had voted against every proposal of
self-determination in the senate from
the beginning of his service until
now, including every proposal for the
freedom of Ireland."
"Senator Harding- says that this is
a domestic question. said the gov
ernor, "that concerns Great Britain
and Great Britain alone. My Judg
ment is that it has become a world
tragedy. I call your attention to the
fact that English papers have been
predicting Senator Harding's election
and that three days after he ex
pressed himself against the interests
of the Irish people, Balbriggen, Ire
land, was burned to the ground by
hiritish soldiers. t
