BRITISH WITHHOLD
RESERVATION COURSE
lindon. Nov. 15. (Hy A. P. i The
adoption by the I'uiteil States Senate
of the reservation lo Article X of
the leagiic-of-nnlions covenant is con
sidercsl insufficient to draw an official
declaration from thp Ilritish Govern
ment as to its attitude. It is pointed
out that the reservation has not been
signed by President Wilson. Aloreovcr,
it is noted, until the I'nited States asks
Great Hritain formally to usspiit to the
proposal it is impossible to forecast
what Great Britain's response will be.
The position of Great Britain at
the moment is believed to be tliut the
treaty is virtually a finished product,
ami that she is strongly inclined to
support the pact she already has signed.
The general belief expressed hero is
that the Senate's reservation, if ap
proved, would necessitate a new treaty.
Pails. Nov. 15. (By A. P.) The
French Foreign Office considers the
leservations stu the German peace
treaty In the American Senate as con
stituting a question of extreme deli
cacy, and the office is not disposed nt
present to make any official statement
on tlie subject.
Nevertheless persons of Importance In

Philadelphia's complex transit prob

ordinances proposed by the Itapid Tran
sit Company.
Af the request of Chairman (latTuey.
of Councils' finance committee: William
Draper Lewis, lawyer and transit ex
pert, is preparing a report on Ihe eom
pniij's proposals, which were scathingly
attacked jesterda.v by Transit Dii tor
Tvv ining.
"The hearing probably will be held
uexl Friday afternoon." announced
Mr. Cafl'ney today. The finance
chairman presided at yesterday's
hearing, held Jointly b.v Councils'
limtncp and street railways com- i
mittees.
Air. Lewis today would make mil
comment on the outstanding featntes '
of yesterday's session, notably the I
counter proposal of Mr. Twining for j
the operation of the Frnukford "L" by'
the company under a lease extending to '
lid" and with au annual rental of
MiOII.CKIO paid the city by the com
puny.
"My lepoit will go directly to Mi,
(Jiifl'nev," Air. Lewis stated.
Operation of the Frankfort! elevated
on a live-cent fare would b" impossible
under the plan proposed by Director ,
Twining the Hapid Transit Co. con
tended today .
Air. .Mitten's Answer
Air. Mitten's comment oji thr louu
ler-tironosal was:
"The director's proposal for n lease
running until 11)57' ties the hands of
the incoming city administration. The
Hapid Transit Co.'s proposal, revoenble
on six months' notice, avoids this.
"The company cannot giiaiantee
$000,000 rental for the Frankford "L"
with a. five-cent fare when ou the city
tranf.it department's own showing the
Frankford "L" cost will be 7'j cents
per passenger."
The company executive filso attacked
the alternative plan of municipal oper
ation of the city's high-speed lines,
suggested yesterday by Director Twin
ing.
"the directors proposal tor muni
cipal operation." said Air. .Mitten,
"after unnecessary expeudituie ou the
makeshift Sanson! street terminal, sac
rifices tlie grentesr puniic advantage ot
the Hapid Transit Co. proposal.
through operation of the Frankford 'I.,
and Alarket street lines. Including free'
transfers yvitn suriacc lines."
Silent on "Dead Capital"
Air. Alitten in his formal teply to
the chargeh made at yesterday's com
mittee hearing in City Hall was silent
on the question of "dead capital" and
"watered stock" which tlie transit di
rector scathingly attacked.
"Municipal transit plans undertaken
Bix years ago." declared Air. Alitten,
"hnve failed to date to produce trans
portation for a single passenger. Dis
cussion of the dead past does not pro
duce transportation for Philadelphia
now."
The transit problem hcie, in view of
yesterday's develonments. marks it as
one of the most importnnt which must
be grappled with early in the Aloore
administration. , -

he Mnvor-elect, while the audience
roared its appreciation.
Savannah displayed the southern hos-
pitaiuy ot tradition in entertaining tin
delegates loday. When .Mayor Stewart,
of this city, learned that Mr. .Moore und
his party of IIS men and women were
to spend a half day In Savannah, he
wired un invitation to the convention at
Charleston.
"A live city." said the .Mayor-elect
when telegraphing acceptance.
Jvispect Terrapin Farm
When the delegation arrived here
from Charleston nt II u. m., Savannah
started In to show how to do the thing
called entertaining. Automobiles car
ried the delegates to Ihe county farm
where, they saw a demonstration of
sugar cane grinding; I hen to a terrapin
farm nud theii to a luncheon that had all
the hallmarks of n banquet.
The afternoon was given over to a
boat ride. The steamer Howard sailed
for Philadelphia at ti p. m. Inst night
with tlie delegation aboard.
Mnyor-elect Aloore was met at the
Charleston depot by Henry S. Coldlug,
of the Savannah board of aldermen.
Mr. Coldlne is a member of the noUce
committee and as such he excited decpj
appreciation wlien lie opened several
suitcases searching for "moonshine."
He began with the Mayor-elect's. No
contraband was found in Mr. Moore's
baggage. When others in the delegns
tion tried to hide their supplies, Alder
man folding thought the joke had
gone far enough,
"A gentleman can bring in his sup
plies," announced the alderman. "We
only get after those who bring it in
to Hull."
This announcement evoked cheera
from those who had some of the pfr
proliiliition juice.
.Mayor Donnelly Hurl
Mayor Donnelly, of Trenton, a mem
ber of the Philadelphia party, tripped
over a suitcase in the train on tjie way
from Charleston to Savannah, receiving
n severe and uncomfortable shuUing.
Mr. Donnelly went to a surgeon on his
arrival here and found that some liga
ments hud been strnined. The injury
was more hurtful because of an old
break in the left arm.
Mayor-elect Moore expects to begin
holding conferences on the cabinet sit
uation as soon as lie arrives in Phila
delphia ou .Monday. It is certain that
lie will be confronted with rival sug
gestions from tlie commitlee of one
hundred, the Hepublican Alliance and
other interests, and from friends of
the Vnres.
Air. Moore will not appoint any man
who will not be subordinate to him in
every way politically and administra
tively. Some pue suggested that the cabinet
question nud the cubinel speculation
could be quickly answered by writing
".L Hampton Aloore" after every direc
torship. This was offered as a piece
of wit. lint those who know the sit
uation realize that this wit told the
truth and Air. Moore says that those
who do not "go along" with the new
administration will be brushed aside.
SAVES 17 FROM WRECK
Heroism of One Man Responsible for
Rescue of Helpless Crew
Sanlt Ste. Marie. .Midi., Nov. 15.-
(By A. P.) John Auderson, keeper of
the" Chicago life saving station, is the
hero of Great Lakes today. His heroism
in taking cjiarge of rescue work of tlie
wrecked steamship II. R. Hunuels,
which was pounded to pieces on the
shores of Luke Superior, will live in
the history of life saving worn.
When tbe Hunnels was dashed ashore
yesterday morning the Grand Alarais
lifo saving crew had no leader. Ander
son was aboard the i'nited states sub
marine chaser 4.'18 at Grand Alarnis.
He Jook charge of the rescue work
immediately. The Hunnels' crew of
seventeen men were helpless.
Anderson put the crew of the 4!18,on
duty with the coast guard men; rigged
up the beach apparatus and with a
single shot sent a line over the wrecked
vessel. A breeches buoy sent to the
ship froze to the cable and could not
be used.
Tbe rescuers were, freezing, but a
thirty-foot surf boat was rigged out.
Anderson "took charge, made four trips
out aind back and took off all the crevv.
Anderson was swept overboard three
times and each time crawled back into
the craft and continued his work of
rescue. .

John Lovitt, president of the coun

The Issue was brought up by the

The same group advertised for last

"I mav attend the meeting on Mon

radicalism,"
Air. Lovitt announced that all but

Operators and Men
Agree to Negotiate
I,
Cuiillliiicd Truiu Page Or.r
I'nited Aline Workers' was recognized
"ion asked the I'liltcd Aline Workers
some weeks ago to negotiate a wage
scale covering -the central competitive
held." he suid, "and they agreed. The
operators' answer to the same request
was, it refusal unless the strike was
withdrawn. Again we hear a refusal
of the proposition made bv vou us a
representative of Jlie federal govern
ment. "How long is this situation to con
tinue, the mine workers accepting
every request of the federal govern
ment and these men on the other side
accepting nothing? ll is unfair that
one side of this controversy 'should be
constuiitly influenced to yield by coer
cion nnd moral pressure. The question
now is when will the" government tell
the operators whut they must do.
"The federal government lias dragged
the workers' representatives into court
and told them what to do," Green said.
"F.very Americiin is interested in (be
miners getting n decent American wage
and that thought should be uppermost
in the minds of federal government offi
cials, if it takes a 00 per cent increase
of wages the federal governmeiifshould
see that they get il.
"Hitler lu .My Henri and Soul"
"I take exception to the statement of
tlie chairman that the demands of the
miners are impossible. Let's "not preju
dice the miners' case before the public
before we have gone into conference.
"Our government has) treated the
miners unfairly. 1 feel bitter in heart
and soul regarding the action the gov
ernment has taken. The miners have
not been given a fair trial."
H. M. Clark, president of the Associ
ation of Bituminous Coal Operators in
Central Pennsylvania, expressed amaze
ment ut the charges of bad faith in the
face of the walkout on November 1 "in
violation of contract."
"For many years." said he, "the
operators in central Pennsylvania have
made contracts with the mine workers
in district No. 2, which have invuri
ably recognized tlie rights of organized
labor, and not in one single instance
hnve the miners kept those contracts."
Air, Clark contended that Pennsyl
vania operators should negotiate their
own contracts nnd that the dillicultiea
of other states should not be dragged
Into the discussion.
Operators were ready, to resume ne
gotiations, he said, on the basis sug
gested by President Wilson, nnd they
would nqt ask the mine workers to re
sume work as a condition of resuming
negotiations.
Phil II. Penua, of Terre Haute, de
clared the operators thought that
Secretary Wilson made a serious mis
take iu raising the old question of en
larging the central competitive field.
Air. Penna reaffirmed his position
that the central competitive district
would not consent to enlargement of
the field, but that it wus not their in
tention to, prevent outlying operators
from meeting and making their own
agreements. He predicted that there
would not be a general resumption of
production before the end of 1!)20, and
then only after innumerable strikes,
if the conference adopted n basic scale
for the whole country.
Chicago. Nov. 15. fP.v A T v
Virtually no increase in tlie number of
bituminous coal miners returning o
work was. looked for todny, Saturday'
generally Having been regarded as at
least a half holiday at mnny of the

miners seem intent to stand on their
