Note Outlines Demands
By ARTHUR SEARS HCNNING.
Hi Ira to THbuna-Oniaha Hm I raard Wtr.
Washington, Sept. 6. There is
now every reason for confidence that
Secretary of State Hughes is destined
to u in all that he has contended for
in the dispute with the allkt over
the disposition of tlie tc-ritorics
teded by Germany and it allien to
the principal victors of the World
war.
The justice of Mr. Hugh.j' con
tention the America, by virtue of
its contribution to the victory, pos
sesses an inalienable fifth interest in
the former German colonic and is
entitled to equal rights in !" terri
tory ceded by Turkey already lias
Lecti conceded by the allies. They
set out to ignore the United Stales
in the formulation of the mandates
iov this territory, ostensibly because
America was not represented in the
oupieme council at the time, and they
1'aid no attention to the Wilon ad
ministration's protest against ap
proval of the Japanese mandate by
the league of nations council, os
tensibly because America was not
represented in the league.
' Allies Change Stand.
When Mr, Hughes took the mat
ter in . hand, however, thj allies
changed their attitude. He demon
strated that the allies., in ignoring
the United. States, were violating a
provision of the Versailles treaty
and were depriving the United States
of rights conferred by that treaty
which were unimpaired by the fail
ure of America to ratify that con
tract. .
Thereupon the allies asked the
United States to state, what changes
it .desired in the drafts 'of the
A-mandates for Mesopotamia and
other former Turkish territorks and
of the B-mandates for former Ger
man possessions in Africa, which
classes of mandates are awaiting the
approval of the league of nation's
council. The allies also indicated
their willingness to revise the terms
ot the C-mandates ' for the Pacific
islands, approved by the league
council in December, 1920, in such
manner as might be agreed upon by
the United States and Japan in the
discussion of the disposition of Yap,
the cable and radio center in the
western Pacific. '
The , note dispatched by Mr.
Hughe to the allies tastwe-ek sets
forth In - detail the . changes the
'nited States desires made . in the
provisions of the A and B mandates,
to as to protect American .interests,
, Insists on Open Door.1
In a general way Mr. Hughes in
sists on such revision of the man
dates as shall eliminate any possible
discrimiantion against the United
States and its nationals in the man
dated territories because . America
is not a. member of the league of na
tions. , . .
Furthermore, he insists that in re

Mine Uprising
Atributed To
Union Officials
Chairman of Operators' As
sociation DeniesGomper
Charge That Wage
Controversy to Blame.
Washington, Sept. 6. United mine
workers' officials were charged with
responsibility "for the invasion of
Logan county and proposed inva
sion of Mingo county by armed min
ers," in a statement issued last night
by Harry Olmsted, chairman of the
Operators' association of the Wil
liamson field. The statement was
declared to be in answer to that of
Samuel Gompers, which Mr. Olm
sted described as hypocritical and in
many instances false and misleading.
Mine guards and private detectives
are not employed by operators in
the Williamson field, Mr. Olmsted
said, adding Uiat Mr. Gompers had
"deliberately misrepresented condi
tions." The charge of Mr. Gom
pers that the uprising had been caus
ed by the failure of the operators to
put into effect the award of the gov
ernment wage board, was character
ized as another falsehood."
Under No Obligation.
''The mine operators were under
no obligation to do so," the state
ment said, "they having no connec
tion with the coal fields covered by
that award.
"Nevertheless, the increases al
lowed by the United States govern
ment were adopted in this field
promptly after the amount of in
crease had been fixed. It as never
before been alleged that the strike
was due to wage adjustments or any
cause other than to compel recog
nition of the United Mine Workers'
organization. . ,- '
; Coal is measured rather than
weighed in this field. The meu have
never asked to have -. the system
changed. , ., , A .
Denies Report of Lawlessness.
.-"Mr. Gompers'' makes himself
ridiculous to West Virginians when
he makes his plea about the miners
protesting against lawlessness in so
far as he refers to the United Mine
Workers. The miners are generally
law-abiding. Every disorder that
has occurred in the , mining fields
of West Virginia has been occasion
ed by the thugs and outlaws of the
United Mine Workers' organization
who camo to compel unionization of
these fields.
"The invasion ' of Logan county
and Mingo county was threatened
by the United Mne Workers'organ
zation in the Williamson field as
early as April and May, 1920.
"In Logan and Mingo counties of
West' Virginia, and Pike county,
Kentucky, having an aggregate area
of 1,633 square miles, there were
not employed as many as 100 peace
officers prior to the invasion by the
organizers of the United Mine
Workers."

Of Waste at Impres
sive Rate.
Praise for Congress
Washington, Sept. 6. President
Harding, in a letter reviewing
achievements of the republican ad
ministration, particularly with ref
erence to congress, declares that
"surveying the national situation, it
is plain we are working our way
out of a welter of waste and prodigal
(.pending at a most impressive rate."
The letter was written by th
president under date of August 29
to Senator McCormick of Illinois
and, it is understood, will be used in
the campaign in New Mexico, wher
Senator Bussuin, appointed to fill
out the unexpired term of Secretary
of the Interior Fall, is a candidate
for election. The letter, it also is
understood, is considered by repub
lican leaders as a reply to' attacks
on the legislative record of the re
publican congress by Chairman
White of the democratic national
committee and other leading demo
crats. Praises Congress.
"We have made much progress
towards retrenchment rnd greatly
increased efficiency," the president
asserts. "I cannot but account it a
monumental accomplishment which
has marked the work of the extraor
dinary session down to the time of
its recess."
Looking to the future, Mr. Hard-'
ing expresses the confident hope
"that congress, after the recess and
before the end of the extraordinary
session, will adopt both the tariff
and taxation measures and that
along with these it will pass the bill
to permit funding the debt owed us
by foreign governments."
"J his. I hope, he adds, "will
shortly be followed by arrangements
under which the debtor countries
will begin paying interest on their
obligations. Likewise I am confi
dent that the bill facilitating the
funding of the debt of the railways
to the United States will become a
law during the extraordinary ses
sion, insuring a large and immedi
ate demand for employment of men
