On the final ratification roll calls the affirmative expression of senate opinion was all but uni mous. Not a s'ngle vote was cast against the Far Eastern treaty : . ,. . 1111 f I ui up ii iu iiaraiiicc a new uin r.'ghta to China and there was on ly ona dissenting voice when the constitutional "advice and con sen" was given to the pact for revision of the Chinese tariff. The totals, respectively, were t to 0 and 58 to 1. Momentum Unexpected Tbe momentum with which the ratification program was swept to a conclusion exceeded the expec tat'.ons of the administration leaders who had not hoped to end the debate before tomorrow night. By the day's accomplishment the senate set a new record for ac tlon, four far-reaching Interna tional covenants having been rati fied within two days, and six within the last week. Virtually no difference of Ion developed over the Far East-jig erh treaty, although Senator Bor - ah, Republican, Idaho, expressed a fear that it ana tne otner r ai i Eastern settlements of the armsi xw reocent cases have been re conference might be interpreted j ported to the police station where in years to come giving "moral assent" to all the acts of aggres slon that have been committed in the past In the Orient.

Most of this period was taken up with the fight over the four-power pact, and since Its ratification last Friday the obstacles In the pathway of quick completion of the administration program faded hourly A compilation of the results of the seven ratification roll calls show that on five of the seven treaties the senate acted with vir tual unanimity. The vote follows: Yap treaty, 67 to 22. Four power treaty, 67 to 27. Supplemental four-power treaty 65 to 0 Navai limitation -treaty '74 to 7. Submarine and poison,. ' gas treaty, 71 to 0.

Two active traffic officers are now on duty and many recent arrests and convictions have added shekels to the city treasury, and what is more important, a marked de crease of auto accidents is noted on the city police records.

Friday night. President S. A. Keller stated at District 19 headquarters today. WASHINGTON. March 30. While stating that a general strike in unionised, bituminous coal mines ia ... certain to begin Saturday Secretary of Labor Dav is declared in a statement tonight that the situation- leaves no ex cuse for an "advance in coal pric es and no prospect of coal short- ago for the public. " , Reviewing the government's ef forts during the last two monthv to achieve a settlement in ad vance, Mr. Davia expressed ."keen disappointment at the failure or certain operators to fulfill tho terms of tho obligation" to con fer with the miners for the mate Ing of new .wage agreement which might have prevented sua. pension of work. . . , Mediation EfforU Fall "All the government's efforts lis the proffer of mediation, concilia, tlon and compromise," he " said, "have failed to save the country from th national strike test of economic strength between em ployer and employe In tho coal Industry. "In this effort tho president and myself have had neither le gal right, nor personal desire to dictate any program; Our one de sire has been to Induce, by per suasion and urgence. tho opera tors and miners to discharge the obligation they assumed them selves to confer ' again for the shaping of a new agreement.' Operators Criticized The miners, the secretary said. had alwayi- been willing . to con fer through their union represen tatives, but5 the operators, ' al though for differently assigned reasons In several localities, have "turned their backs on a chance to lay bare, not only to tha mln-, ers but to tbe public at least their reasons for declining a new wage agreement." A conference for the operators, he said "would have removed any stigma of bad faith." "There may be faults on both sides of this bituminous dispute." he declared, "but the side that openly repudiates Its written and signed obligation has crippled its case before the bar of public opin ion." Anthracite C&ae Different The agreement repudiated, the statement explained, was that contained in the wage contract between operators and miners In the tentral competitive field, in cluding Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania, which has constituted the basic wage contract for all other coal fields' in former years. ' The situation as to anthracite mining, it was added, "forms a pleasing contrast because operat ors and m'ners are meeting di rectly together." Further complications- In the coal industry, Mr. Davis contin ued, were due to the existence ot over-prodnction, amounting to, "fully 30 per cent over develop ment in the bituminous fields." One result of-this, it was pointed out, was to laave available in storage new stocks ot coal, esti mated at 10.0vd.000 tons for an thracite and 65,000,000 tons for bituminous.
