MINERS
Commercial Transport Men
Support Coal Diggers.
SPREAD OF TIE-UP FEARED
Orders Issued to All Branches of
AVorkers to Hold Strike Or
ganizalions in Readiness.
LONDON. Oct. 19. (By. the Asso
ciated Press.) There were no new
developments today in the coal strike.
In all the coal regions where the men
have laid down their tools, order wa
maintained by the strikers.
One feature tonight which bore pos
slbilities of a widening of the strike
waB the prospect of the 25.000 London
commercial transport men ceasing
work. The men on Sunday nlKht
passed a resolution declaring them
selves as supporting the miners. A
conference was to have been held to
day to take final action, but the meeting-
was adjourned until tomorrow.
Meantime orders have been issued
to brandies of the union throughout
the country to have their strike or
ganizations prepared. Should the
transport workers in all parts of the
country walk out. it is estimated 180.
000 men would be involved.
Hint Raclna; Suspended.
By an agreement between the board
of trade and the Jockey club, all horse
racing is to be suspended.
Announcement was made tonight of
the su.spension of the sailings of
nearly all the passenger steamers be
tween England and Ireland. Excep
tion is made for vessels carrying the,
mails. The railroads began to restrict
their passenger service.
It is reported tonight that in the
Middlesborough iron district nearly
30,000 workmen have been rendered
idle in the iron and dependent in
dustries. The house of commons tonight dis
cussed the coal strike with great
moderation and an absence of vin
dictiveness, but without arriving at a
nearer prospect of a settlement. Pre
mier Lloyd George explained his un
employment scheme as he outlined it
yesterday to a deputation which vis
ited him, but added Tittle to his pre
vious statement except that the
scheme would embrace the building
of new arterial roads around London.
Premier Offer Solution.
The premier contributed nothing to
the coal discussion which was largely
confined to the labor members. The
latter emphasized the urgency of ar
riving at a settlement before the dis
pute grew to graver proportions.
William Brace, labor member for
the Abertillery division of Monmouth
shire and president of the South
Wales Miners' federation, suggested
that the two shillings the miners de
manded should be granted temporar
ily, pending the creation of a per
manent wage board and the whole
matter reviewed by the end of the
year.
He asserted there was evidence that
the miners had purposely restricted
the output and declared that if it was
to be a fight to a finish, every man
muMt be withdrawn from the mines
regardless of the damage and loss in
volved. One Vote Prevents Strike.
James Henry Thomas of the Na
tional Union of Railwaymen, support
ing Mr. Brace's suggestion, said it
was no secret that 17 days ago a spe
cial meeting of the railway delegates
decided by only one vote not to etrike
forthwith, after he had made the ut
most efforts in favor of peace.
He begged the house not to mini
mise the danger, but to remember
that the same people were meeting
tomorrow and that the spirit of the
workers was such that, even if they
felt a mistake had been made, there
existed a feeling of comradeship
which drew them together.
After Mr. Brace's speech, a cabinet
council was held to consider the sit
uation. Hence, it was late when Pre
mier Lloyd George rose to reply. He
began by complimenting the house on
the moderation and absence of bit
terness with which the question had
been discussed.
Brace's Plan Obncare.
He then referred to Mr. Brace's
suggestion. which, he complained,
was in many respects obscure. He
said if a settlement was to be at
tained it must be on something more
definite, which would not merely
postpone the dispute to the future
and sow the seeds of further trouble,
not only in the mining, but in every
other industry.
Reviewing the history of the dis
pute, the premier reiterated the de
sire of the government to listen to all
arguments. He contended that any
settlement should include some in
ducement to increase the output and
lengthily criticised Mr. Brace's sug
gestions. He argued that if at the
end of the year it was found that
the output had not been increased,
and an attempt was made to with
draw the increase in wages, there
would be another strike.
t.overnment for Peaef.
The government was not entitled
to keep the country in suspense all
that time. The government sincerelv
desired to find an issue to the dis
pute and was prepared to examine
any scheme giving an Increased out
put for increased remuneration.
At the conclusion of the premier's
speech, a discussion ensued between
Mr. Lloyd George and the labor lead
ers on William Adamson's proposal
tnat the government summon a meet
ing of the miners' executive and coal
owners.
Arthur Henderson, chairman of the
labor party in the commons for sev
eral years, thought the premier could
not have a more favorable moment
for bringing the parties together
again. Mr. Lloyd George replied that
he wanted to consult his colleagues
and did not desire another premature
conference.
WILSON IS HELD FALLIBLE
(Continued From First Page.y
ate reservations. The election of
Governor Cox, he said, meant the ef
fort to have the Untted States Join
the league of nations without change,
as it was brought back from Europe
by President Wilson.
Mr. Root declared that it was well
understood in 1919 and "is well un
derstood now. that the other parties
to the treaty would have been con
tent to accept" the senate reserva
tions. "Several European nations already
have given notice of half a dozen
changes in the covenant which they
propose to urge at a meeting of the
assembly of the league next month.
The only reason why the changes
necessary to meet American objec
tions have not already been consid
ered is that Mr. Wilson simply would
not negotiate for them."
At the outset of his address. Mr.
Root said:
"I think a large majority of the
American people earnestly wish for
an organization among civil lze.d na
tions, through which the nations shall
co-operate to prevent future wars
and that the United States shall do
her full share in that organization. I
certainly desire this very strongly.
Fonr Purposes Noted.
"The plan of the league of nations
relied upon the effect of four things,
taken together, to prevent war," Mr.
Root asserted.
"First Upon delay to afford time
for investigation and for passions to
cool and sober judgment to prevail.
"Second Upon having the facts as
certained and determined and made
public to all the world, so that the
misunderstandings and deceptions
under which the people of a. country
are so often led to consent to war
may be obviated.
"Third Upon having a fairly rep
resentative body not a party to the
dispute express publicly a responsi
ble and matured opinion aa to . how
the controversy ought to be settled,
and thus bring to bear upon the action
of the parties the well informed
opinion of the civilized world.
"Fourth If any party to the agree
ment were to violate it by making
war without the stipulated delays,
necessary arbitration or investigation
and report, or were to make war In
violation of the unanimous opinion
of the other nations, then upon the
practical outlawry of that party from
the advantage of trade, commerce
and customary intercourse with the
members of the society of nations.
with all the consequences flowing
from such an outlawry."
Chief Objections Cited.
The principal objections to the
league. Mr. Root said, may be roughly
classified as follows:
"First Objections to the general
defensive alliance with all members
of the league, established by arti
cle 10.
"Second Objections to submitting
to the council of the league questions
of purely American policy, such as the
Monroe doctrine, or questions of immi
gration, upon which the European
countries, approaching that subject
from an entirely different point of
view and with opposing or different
interests, would almost necessarily
differ from the American policy.
"Third That the scheme practically
thrust aside the whole system of de
velpoment of international law and of
arbitral decision which had been the
settled policy of the United States for
many generations, and depended for
tne treatment of questions of right as
well as questions of policy upon the
council, which would be composed
not of judges, but of diplomatic rep
resentatives or the powers.
"Fourth That the scheme created
a super-government, which would de
stroy the independence of the United
States.
Por Held Centralized.
"Fifth, that the working of the nlan
under the covenant was not so ar
ranged as to articulate with the con
stitutional government of the United
states; that under it the Dresident
alone could practically carry on the
entire toreign attairs or- the United
States by agents of his own selection
to the practical exclusion of the pop
ular branch of our government."
Mr. Wilson in "being unwilling to
accept reservations" to the peace
treaty and league of nations, has left
us practically wnere we stand to
day," Mr. Root said.
Mr. Cox declares," he continued,
'that he will insist UDon the treatv
just as Mr. Wilson negotiated it, and
upon tnat understanding Mr. Wifson
is supporting Mr. Cox for the nresi.
dency. The democratic platform says
substantially the same thing.
xn tne other hand. Mr. Hardine:.
who voted for ratification of the
treaty with the senate reservations.
declares that he would do it again
unaer tne same circumstances."
League Features Afforded.
Mr. Root said it was plain that the
issue is not between a league of na
tions and no league of nations. "The
question is whether the agreement
creating the league shall be accepted
absolutely unchanged, or ' shall be
modified to meet American objections.
I would be glad to have the provisions
of the agreement changed so as to
obviate these objections. Then would
rollow an ordinary common sense
negotiation as to the best way to
obviate the objections. Regarding
tnis process l nave to say:
"First I think the American objec
tions can be met and obviated with
out interfering with the scheme of
the league or impairing its useful
ness. "Second Without pretending to
have any special knowledge, I think
there .are clear indications that the
other nations concerned are willing
to make such changes as are neces
sary to meet the American objections.
"Third I think the objections
ought to be met an obviated. The
covenant contains eome provisions
which are unnecessary, unwise and
injurious, and they ought to be
changed.
"Fourth There is nothing unusual
or distressing about negotiating the
necessary changes. If the other par
ties are willing as they seem to be
lt will be a simple matter."

PARTY CRITICS VARY
WIDELY OVER TILT
Republicans Rap Wilson;
Democrats Hit Harding.
PRESS VIEWS COMPARED
Xew York Tribune Declares Chief
Paid 3fo Attention to Cox in
Demanding Explanation.
THE OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 19. (Special.)
Two widely divergent partisan com
ments on the exchange of corre
spondence between President Wilson
and Senator Hardine; over the. state
ment that the repuoncan presidential
candidate had been approached in
formally by a spokesman of.EVanc
relative to the establishment of an
association' of nations were afforded
today by the editorial columns of the
New York Tribune (republican) and
the New York World (democratic).
Under the heading, "The Latest
Fulmination," the Tribune said:
"The president's letter to Senator
Harding concerning informal ap
proaches to the latter by a French
representative who suggested that
the United States lead the way to a
world fraternity is characteristically
arrogant. -Wilson
Declared Incensed
"If Mr. Wilson v had his way, It
would seem, no one except himself
would be allowed even to whisper
in relation to a subject whereof he
has proclaimed a monopoly. He is
so incensed at others venturing to
consider it that he angrily puts for
ward two alternatives as the only
ones possible.
"The first is that Senator Harding
is a liar and the second, if No. 1 is
rejected, is that the French govern
ment is dishonorable. In either case,
there Is a sufficient revelation of a
perturbed state of mind.
"But, though the less said about the
taste of the outbreak the better, it is
not unwelcome. It contributes some
thing to popular education. It tends
though doubtless not so intended, to
bring to public notice faith which
partisanship has obscured namely
that, the league of nations, so far as
it now exists, la regarded by its prin
cipal membes as tentative and experi
mental and that there is no strong
objection to recasting it or even dis
carding it altogether in favor of
something better.
Cox Not Even Consulted.
"From another point of view the
president's letter is interesting. The
president is the captain of his party
campaign. He openly exercises com
mand. Cox is not even consulted. The
poor chap is ignored as of no conse
quence." The World comments unjer the
heading, "Super-Government at Mar
ion," accusing Senator Harding of
having indulged in secret diplomacy
while having so often condemned that
policy.
"As president of the United States,
Mr. Wilson is naturally interested in
Senator Harding's boast that a super
government has been established at
Marion," said the World, which con
tinued; '
"He has therefore written to the
republican candidates, asking for per
sonal verification of the reports of
the Harding speech at Green Castle,
Ind., Saturday.
Capitol Declared Moved.
"The American people have no
knowledge that the capitol of the
United States has suddenly been
moved to Marion, O. The French for
eign office has denied to correspond
ents that anybody has been acting as
an ambassador from France to the
front porch and declares that if 'some
Frenchman'-talked with the republic
an candidate he was not acting as a
spokesman for France. Senator
Harding seems to be the only person
who can clear up this mystery, and so
far as he now undertakes to do so,
it appears that what he said about
France or the French government
was not true at all.
"The sepator is doing a great deal
of talking about secret diplomacy and
a super-government undttr the league
of nations, but if he was telling the
truth in bis speech at Green Castle
he has revealed the most remarkable
example of secret diplomacy under a
super-government that any civilized
country has ever known. When a can
didate for president pretends to be
carrying on diplomatic negotiations
with foreign powers, government un
der the constitution is in effect nulli
fied." Harding's Policies Sonnded.
It is learned that not only repreaen
taives of France, but also of several
other governments have been taking
pains to ascertain something of the
proposed foreign policies of Senator
Harding, assuming that he will be
the next president of the United
States.
Commenting on the Wilson-Harding
correspondence, a special writer
in the Washington Post, in a manner
likely- to be more disquieting to Mr.
Wilson than the report of Harding's
Green Castle speech, said to day:
No Reason Why
Some years ago a prominent advertising
agency employed a much heralded writer of
'compelling" advertisements to prepare a cigar
ette campaign.
When the "copy was submitted it appeared
to be a series of paintings of prominent chib
houses with a sentence informing the public that
Blank's cigarettes were smoked at the Blink's
Club, price two bits.
The irate agency chief tore his hair and de
manded to be shown a single reason adduced why
any one should smoke Blank's. "
"Quite true," was the soft answer, "but what
reason is there for any one to smoke any
cigarettes?"
So also, what reason for ginger ale, cigars,
gum, neckties, jewelry or a multitude of things
we are so unreasonably but so ' convincingly '
taught by advertising to want.
The simple, direct command unsupported by
reason or argument is frequently the most effec
tive advertising method.

"It is true that every diplomat !
ready to do what he legitimately can
to Influence Senator Harding's policy
in favor of certain matters ia which
his government is particularly In
terested. I have talked to on man
who went to see Senator Harding on
behalf of officials of the French gov
ernment who regard the league of
nations as a failure and wanted to be
assured that America's policy toward
France would not be unfavorably af
fected by this fact.
"When it became evident to the
French foreign office that the league
covenant would never be sanctioned
by the United States senate, M. Jus
serand, the French ambassador, went
to Senator' Lodge -and to other sen
ators for guidance and advice as to
what France might expect in the
future. It is probable that the
French ambassador . gave assurances
from his government and talked far
more freely with Senator Lodge and

U. S. PUNISHING EVADERS
DRAFT DESERTERS CHECKED
BY GOVERNMENT.
Military Authorities Report Dis
posal of 163,738 Slacker
Cases TJj to July 15. -
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. Draft
evaders who had been apprehended up
to July 15 and their cases disposed
of by the military authorities num
bered 163,738, it was announced to
day at the war department. The total
number of draft desertions which had
been reported to the provost marshal
general was 498,033, but examination
of government records showed that
161.354 men classed as deserters had
enlisted in the army, navy or marine
corps or in the armed forces of the
allies, so that the total number of
desertions still listed now numbers
163.911.
The department's announcement
added that probably several thousand
men had been apprehended and their
cases disposed of since Juljr 15.
"The number of desertions is being
reduced and will be further reduced
after examination of records in all
cases has been completed." said the
department's announcement.
"One of the reasons for giving pub
licity to the fact that the list of
deserters was to be published was to
cause all those persons in whose mind
there existed doubt as to their final
status to write to the war department
in order that their records could be
investigated."
