was based on the superior defensive
strength of the warships and the limita
tion upon their armaments was for the
purpose of limiting their power of resist
ance to contact with pirates and priva
teers.
"The introduction of the submarine
Into naval warfare has changed all of
this. This craft ia almoat without powers
of defenae beyond the ability to submerge
to escape the enemy. A gun even of light
caliber on a merchant ahlp successfully
could defend her against a submarine.
Theer are now no pirates and the prac
tice of privateering baa been abandoned
by civilised nations by general agreement.
.' t.ana Ifa Leaver Needed!.
"Therefore there can now be no reason
tor! tha maintenance of even small cali
ber suns on merchant ships unless It Is
designed to make them superior to sub
marines, and thereby deprive that Class
cf warships of their undoubted right with
safety to warn and search such mer
chantmen.' In reality, therefore, any
such armament of a merchant vessel now
might be regarded as offensive arma
ment, i . .
"If submarines should be required to
stop and search merchant veasels before
attacking them and to remove the pass
engers and crews to places of safety, It
ts not fair that the submarines should ba
compelled to expose themselves to de
struction at the hands of merchantmen.
Therefore, by a general agreement among
the belligerents submarines should be re
quired to adhere etrictly to the present
provisions of International law to stop
and search merchant ships to ascertain
their belligerent character and to remove
the passengers and crews to safety be
fore sinking them.
"On the other hand, merchant vessels
should not be permitted to carry any ar
mament at all.
"There Is grave doubt of the legal
right to carry armament- on merchant
ships, and It is submitted that all nations
should be animated by a desire to save
the Uvea of Innocent people and there
fore should not Insist upon the exercise
of any supposed technical right.
Qaeettoa Pat l'g Sqaarely.

such a declaration conditioned on a similar

"Tho United Btatea government has
been very much Impressed with the argu
ments that have been advanced In cer
tain quarters that any merchant veasel
which carries guns In any position cap
able of ' use agalnat warships has for
feited Its non-oombatant character and
may be regarded aa an auxiliary cruiser
and ta seriously considering the annouoe
ment of a purpose to treat these vessels
on that baata because of the changed
conditions In maritime warfare result
ing from the Introduction of the sub
marine and Its defenseless character."
The foregoing Is subatanlally the- note
which Secretary Lansing announced yea
terday ba had transmitted to "a foreign
power or powers." He refused to discuss
tha aubjest further.

COAL MINE WORKERS
STAND BY CONTRACT
Convention Odes on Record Con-,
demninf Strikes in Violation
of Agreements.
FAVORS DEPARTMENT OF MINES
INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., Jan. 28.
The United Mine Workers' conven
tion went on record aa condemning
strikes in violation of contracts with
operators. Complete approval waa
riven to the work done in organizing
minera in the anthracite regions.
Tha convention also went on rec
ord aa favoring the creation of a
federal department of mines, the
head of which shall be a member of
the presidents cabinet.
Contrary to expectation the delegates
did not dlacuaa the question of prepared
ness which Is denounced In President
White's report. Tne committee on officers
reports made the folic wing report:
The question of preparedness likely
will become a great national question
and will range from 'no preparedness '
and 'reasonable preparedneea' to "un
usual preparedness.'
"Somewhere along the line will he
found the earnest advocates of the dif
ferent theories of defense and offepe
esger to se their Ideas bear fruit.
'Members of this committee feel that
the matter of testing the attitude of th-i
convention on preparedness can beat be
done by concurring In the report of Pres
ident White."
The report waa concurred In and puts
the convention on record as commending
President White in condemning prepared,
ness. ,
Hares Mealies ta TJeyle.
Frank 3. Hayes, vice presldont of tha
t'nlted Mine Workers, today replied In
the convention to the attack made yes
terday by K. I Doyle of Colorado, on
tha management of the Colorado strike.
Hayes said Doyle was one of the handi
caps In the strike and declared ho was
indiscreet He gave an instance where
Doyle, aa secretary of the Colorado min
ers, sent a telegram to International Sec
retary William Green to "send $10,000 to
buy guns."
Hayes ssld Doyle wanted to continue
the strike when it waa lost. "It Is crim
inal to continue a strike when all hope
of winning it Is gone," declared :e vice
president.
W. R. Fairly of Alabama, an Interna
tional organiser and a federal conciliator
In the strike, also defended himself. He
was one of those mentioned In Doyle's
attack.
Secretary Oreen, whose name also fig
ured In Doyle's attack, also defended
the management of the atrlke. In reply
to Green's queatlona. John McLennan,
president of the Colorado miners, said
Ioyle did not represent the sentiments
of the Colorado mine workers.
Resuming consideration qf the report
of the committee on off leers' reports, the
convention adopted a recommendation
that a memorial be erected to the men,
women and children killed at Ludlow,
Colo., during the strike.-
Minnesota Primary
Law Upheld by the
Supreme Court
ST. PAUl Minn., Jan. 21 The con
stitutionality of the Minnesota, presiden
tial primary law today was upheld by
the state supreme court in a decision
handed down in the case of Walter N.
Carroll of Minneapolis, whose attorneys
hsd petitioned to have the law declared
unconstitutional.
Mr. Carroll attacked the law after
Julius A. Schmai, secretary of state, had
refused to accept proffered filing petl-
jtlone of Mr. Carroll for delegate to tha
national convention and ror presidential
elector. Two main points In controversy
over tha law were decided In effect by
the court as follows:
That candidates for delegates cannot
file until February t. when tha time for
filing petitions for president expires.
That presidential electors, though they
make affidavit to vote In the electoral
college, for the man nominated by the
Minnesota primaries, should follow tra
dition and cast their ballot for tho na
tional party candidate nominated for
president.
