Three Conferences tjeld in
Endeavor to Prevent Legal
Action Fail Delay in In- i
dianapolis Is Anticipated.
Washington, Nov. 7. Eleventh
hour efforts by Samuel Gompers, to
settle the coal strike were met to
night by emphatic declarations
from the government that injunc
tion proceedings would be dismissed
the instant the strike order was
withdrawn and not before.
This final decision was given to
Mr. Gompers, heading, a delegation
of high labor officials, at the close
of the third- conference of the day
with Attorney General Palmer, and
after Mr. Gompers had talked over ,
the telephone wi(h John L. Lewis,
acting head of the .United Mine
Workers of America, Indianapolis.
Mr. Gompers, fighting "hard to
have the government drop its in
injunction suit set for a hearing to
morrow, plainly showed that lie was
under a severe strain as he left the
Department of Justice, flatly and
bluntly refusing on his way out to
say one word about the three con
ferences or hope of ending the
strike of more than 400,000 miners
before the United States could press
its suit against officers of the min
ers' organization. j
Palmer Statement Brief. j
Attorney -General Palmer, to
whom Mr. Gompers referred all re
quests for information", refused to
see newspaper men.
"Mr. Palmer wishes me to say
that he, will have no statement" to
night other than -that he made as
he left the cabinet meeting," his
secretary announce.
There were only 18 words in the
statement Mr. Palmer dictated to
newspaper men as he left the White
House after the cabinet meeting and
an earlier conference with President
Wilson. --
"The injunction proceedings
against the coal miners' leaders will
be dismissed the instant the strike
crder is recalled," said the attorney
general, and his utterance stood to
night as the final word from the
government on the eve of what may
prove the beginning tomorrow of
the greatst labor union litigation in
the history of the country.
Delay Is Expected. ,
Through the day, although it was
on the lip of all official Washing
ton that the government and the
miners were considering new plans
for ending the struggle without fur
ther report to law, the feeling grew
that hearing on the restraining or
der, set for tomorrow morning in
the federal-court before Judge An
derson at Indianapolis,", would , be
postponed "Without predujice to
either side."
The Department of Justice will
not ask for a postponement, but
whether it might oppose thrf request
if miners asked for more time, not
r.n unusual proceeding, officials de
clined to say. '
"The only thing that can stop the
proceeding started by the United
States is for the miners to "call off
the strike." the attorney general re
iterated time and again."
Gompers Is Persistent.
The persistency with which Mr.
Gompers presented plea after plea
to the attorney general indicated his
earnest desire" to bring peace to the
coal fields before the battle is waged
more heatedly in the fedral courts.

Lest We Forget!
When the special grand jury wasealled to investi
gate the burning of the court house and the lynching of
Will Brown on the night of September-28, among other
things it was charged by the court to go to the bottom of
the whole affair and place the responsibility, if possible,
where it rightly belonged. "

Fifty policemen were sent from the Central sta

ing to the admission made by Police Captain Henry
Heitfeld.- . . .
"Police Captain Henry P. Haze reported to me at
that time that the mob had been dispersed and that
the policemen at the court house had the situation'
well in hand," said Captain Heitfeld. ; , -
"I told the members of that entire police shift,
which we had been holding in reserve here, to go
home and stay home, so that we could reach'them by
telephone, if later developments demanded their pres
ence. , .' ' s
"It took us a long time to get them together
again. Three of us at Central station were calling
them by telephone and men at the fire-department
headquarters were helping us."
f More Work Yet to Do. N
: While a number of indictments have been returned by
the grand jury against men and boys alleged to have par
ticipated in the rioting, no effort has yet been made, as far
as is known, to attempt to place any responsibility on the
Omaha police department for its failure to disperse the
mob in its early stages, and to ascertain why many of the
police officers on duty surrendered their guns to members
of the mob. - ' Y ,"' ,

The greatest convention of teach
ers ever assembled in Nebraska
came to a close last night, when the
fifty-third annual session of the Ne

went into history.
An attendance of 5,000, the larg
est in' the history of the association;
20 nationally famous educators from
outside of Nebraska on the pro
grams; five big mass sessions in the
city Auditorium; nearly 40 section
al meetings of various groups in
hotels, churches and schools all
these were features of this, great
convention of Nebraska educators.

prano concert singer, and Jacques
TThibaud, the brilliant French violin
ist, in a special concert given free
to the teachers by the bureau of
publicity of the Chamber of Com

hundreds of the visitors to their
homes, but by far the. majority re
mained over. They will do shopping
and sightseeing and will proceed
homeward by many trains today.

their capacity .and hundreds of
teachers were sent to private homes

highest votes for each office will
be declared nominated and their
names printed on the ballot by

are voted for and the work of count
ing the nominating-'ballots is very
heavy.
Reorganization Referendum.
The question of reorganizing the
association will also be submitted
to -referendum vote of the teachers
within the next 30 days. This ques

DEADLOCK PLANNED TO

inistration Leader Con
fers With President Who
Approves Plan to Win Point
Proposed by Democrats.
Washington, Nov. 7. The first
affirmative step toward qualifica
tion of the peace treaty' was tak-en
today by the senate after adminis
tratis;! leaders, with the backing ot
President Wilson, had re-affirmed
their intention of voting against
ratification of the reservations
drawn by the senate majority are
adopted.
The initial test of strength oi
the reservation program of the for
eign relations committee found the
republicans almost solidly united
behind it, the group of mild reser
vationists who helped kill the com
mittee s amendments and the irre
concilable group of treaty foes
standing together for the first time
since the .long treaty fight began.
Debate First Reservation. .
By a vote of 48 to 40 the senate
approved after all efforts to amend
it had failed the committee s pre
amble to the reservation group, re
quiring that to make the treaty
bindng at least three of the four
great powers must accept the sen
ate qualifications.

the, first-of the 14 reservations was
under debate and' republicans leaders-were
claiming that they had saf'i
majorities pledged for the entire
group. Ihe mild reservatiomsts, it
was declared had turned down a
new democratic offer 'pf compromise
while the irreconcilable wing was
devising a plan of action by which
they hoped to defeat the treaty en
tirely. The best claim made by the
administration forces was that the
treaty would be wedged into a dead
lock which in the end would make
a compromise inevitable".
Hitchcock Visits Wilson.
The plan to vote against the
treaty and thus deadlock the ratifica
tion fight was declared to have
President Wilson s unqualified sup
port. Senator Hitchcock of Nebras
ka, the democratic leader; saw the
president during the day for the
first time since Mr. Wilson returned
from his speaking tour and went
over the entire situation surround
ing the treaty in the senate. After
ward Mr. Hitchcock said the ex
ecutive regarded the committee res
ervations as "destructive" and the
preamble as "very embarrassing"
and advised the senators to stand
by their guns. .. .
The president was said to have
asserted an aggressive position to
acceptance of reservations which
would impair the treaty, but to have
shown a willingness to leave the
matter of a compromise in the
hands of thj administration sena
tors to be worked out after the
deadlock stage had been reached.
Mr. Wilson explained, Senator
Hitchcock said, th-at he Bad sent for
the administration leader to give as
surance qf his support in the con
templated program and of his grati
tude over the successful fight aeainst
amendments.
Hitchcock Is Confident.
After the White House confer
ence the democratic leader declared
his conviction that there would be
no compromise until the deadlock
actually had developed. He con
ceded that most of the committee
reservations would be written into
the resolution arid that after the latter-had
been killed by democratic
votes an unqualified ratification res
olution also' would probably fail.
Then the time would be ripe, he

pearing under the auspices of the

Mr. Plumb came to Omaha from
Sioux City, accompanied by Mrs.
Plumb, nd was met at Union sta
tion by a committee who escorted
him to tfje Hotel Fontenelle.
Plumb Plan in Brief.
By the Plumb plan of railroad
control it ,is proposea to have the
government issue bonds for an
amount equal to an investment,

lect a governing body whose mem
bers shall be chosen by the gov
ernment, the railroad officials, and
the employes, each to have equal
representation: The plan contem
plates that rates shall be fixed by
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. '
In his address Mr. Plumb re
viewed railroad history, increasing
wages and prices, and the relations
between capital and labor.
"We have been told," he said,
"that the railroads are private prop
erty subjected to a public use. It
is part of our fundamental law that
the railroads are public highways.
I will venture to say that there are
not more than $10,000,000,000 of
