i 1
Administration la Attempting
To Convince Oriental Gov'
; ernment It Will Not Be at
Disadvantage in Meeting.
Wajhington, July 16. The Wash
ington administration is seeking to
convince Japan that it will not be
olaced at any disadvantage in the
forthcoming conference on limita
tion of armaments and far easten
problems.
President Harding believes that
Japan will eventually decide to par
ticipate in both branches of the pro
posed conference and wm agree to
discuss Pacific and eastern questions
with the other powers invited, as
well as the issues ot reducing arma
ments.
Friday the cabinet considered
Japan's response to the president s
invitation, which was a cordial ac
ceptance of the proposal to discuss
armaments, but failed to agree to the
econd proposal that the interna
tional ' issues, which make present-
day expensive armaments necessary
to be considered with a view to
general adjustment.
Following the cabinet meeting, it
was learned that exchanges are now
in progress between the United
States and Japan with reference to
Japan's implied objection to partici
pating in a discussion of the far east
ern and Pacific questions. Japan's
position, however, has occasioned no
ciclay in plans for the conference and
the president expects to issue the
formal call in the near future.
Every Phase Considered. -
Every aspect of the president's
proposal of a conference of the five
principal alKed and associated powers
and China, was considered at today's
session, with particular reference to
the attitude of Japan, and indications
that certain uninvited nations hav
ing interests in the far east would
like to participate.
There was general felicitation that
the conference was assured, in spite"
of the obstacle apparently raised by
Japan's position.
. Publicly, administration officials
made no criticism, faking the view
that the Japanese government was
entirely within its risht in seeking
;I to ascertain the range of subjects
" that would be considered under the
?; heading of far eastern and Pacific
i questions. It is understood that the
united States government has in
formed Japan that as it is only .one
oi me participating powers, . n no
not undertake to define the limits
of the conference procedure. That
determination. according-1 to the
government'! position, must be left
to the participating governments
when they meet irt Washington,
' No Objection Raised.
No objection exists on the part of
this government to diplomatic ex
changes prior to the conference mh
a view to agreeing in a tentative
way upon an agenda for the confer
ence. It contends that there is noth
ing incompatible between the views
of the United States government and
the desire of the Japanese govern
ment to ascertain the probable na
ture and scope of the conference and
that in the ordinary course ;of events
these will be worked out by the pow
ers before the conference convenes
formally, or by the conference it
self. Japan's position is being made
clearer in news dispatches from
Tokio, where it is evident the fear
exists that Japan will find itself
confronting a bloc of European
powers and America whose attitude
will be to the detriment of meas
ures Japan has taken to strengthen
her hold on China and the far east
The inclusion of China in the list of
nations asked to participate in the
resolution of the far eastern ques
tions is not pleasing to Japan and
suspicion is apparent in Tokio that
France and Italy were invited to at-
strengthen the case that the United
States will present with reference to
problems affecting the Orient and the
future control of the Pacific ocean.
President Harding still clings to
the opinion 'hat armistice day, No
vember 11, will be the most suitable
date for the opening session of the
conference and it is supposed that
his suggestion will be advanced td
the participating governments in the
preliminary convocations.

Washington, July 16. One hun
dred casualties resulted ' during the
last year from labor troubles in the
Mingo (W. Va.) coal fields, C F.
Keeney, president of the miners'
district union today testified before
senafe investigating committee.
Mr. Keeney agreed with represen
tatives of the operators who
placed the casualties in the same
period at 27 that the lead were
"mostly men on the other side."
R. H. Kirkpatrick, another union
witness, formerly mine foreman for
the Burnwell Coal and Coke com
pany, testified that an imitation bat
tle around a mine tunnel had been
staged by his superiors and himself
to get martial law declared and
beat the strike." .
W. E. Hutchison, another miner
and organizer, attributed the con
tinuation of the strike to the refusal
of the mine operators to deal in any
fashion with the United Mine
Workers, and to their alleged pol
icy of continuing to work the mines
with nonunion forces.

Harding In Favor
Of Amalgamating
Air Department
President Would Place All
Military and Civil Branches
Under One Central
Authority.
Washington, July 16. President
Harding favors the proposal to place
all the aircraft services of the gov
ernment, military and civil, under
one central authority. There has
been an impression that the presi
dent was opposed to this plan and
that impression was emphasized
when Major General Menoher, chief
of the air service of the army, asked
i the secretary of war to remove the
assistant chief who advocated the
amalgamation of army and navy
services.
It was learned today, however,
that the president is heartily in fa
vor of the proposed amalgamation
and that the joint reorganization
commission, which is engaged in
preparing plans for a reorganization
of administration of the executive
branch of the government, is in
clined to recommend the unification
of all the government's aircraft ac
tivities. The position of President Harding
in the matter is that amalgamation
will work for efficiency and economy.
One great difficulty pertaining to
the present separate aircraft services
that has impressed him is that there
is no systematic method of awarding
contracts for the construction of air
craft. One branch awards contracts
without regard to any other govern
ment aircraft organization and the
president believes that this is detri
mental to the upbuilding of private
aircraft manufacture in the LJnited
States.
Inference is drawn from what was
learned today of the president's posi
tion, that he is in favor of the amal
gamation of the War and Navy de-
