a record vote, Representative Mc-
Arthur. republican. Oregon, one ot.
the leaders in the fight for the in
crease, announced that telegrams
had been sent to all supporters of
the amendment to return here Tues
day. It was generally understood that
Chairman Kelley, in charge of the
bill, would insist on a separate vote
on the amendment. Under the rules,
one-fifth of the members on the
floor would have to stand up for a
roll call in order to obtain it.
Some of the members supporting
the committee bill were doubtful
whether the vote yesterday of 177
to 130, could be changed if another
poll was taken. Mr. McArthur de
clared advocates of the amendment
were satisfied a new test would show
an even wider margin in favpr of it.
There was no accurate count as to
how the democrats divided on the
86,000 proposal. Off hand, it was
stated they split about even,, but the
democratic leaders asserted that the
party stood about 2 to 1 for the com
mittee report.

No Retreat for
Miners, Asserts
Chief in Speech
Lewis Declares Effort to Beat
Men Back to Nonunion
Level Was Cause of
Strike.
Springfield, 111., April 17. "The
miner is not responsible for the ills
f throat industry and it Js poor
industrial leadership "that" carT 'cSv
ceive industrial improvement . only
through-a debased manhood and a
pauper level of existence," said John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, in an
address delivered before the Springfield-Midday
Luncheon club. M,r.
Lewis spoke in part as follows:
"The present strike in the anthra
cite and bituminous coal industry
is the natural sequence of the organ
ized effort of the coal operators to
beat the miners backward to the
level of subsistence obtaining in the
nonunion fields. The miners will
not retreat. The -human values in
volved are of infinitely greater con
sequences than the profit margins of
the operators.
"Miner Not Responsible."
, "The miner is not responsible for
the ills of the coal industry and it
is poor industrial leadership that can
conceive industrial improvement only
through a debased manhood and a
Dauoer level of existence. Approxi
mately 5,000,000 of the population of
our nation are directly dependent on
the mining industry and it is God's
Will that the children of the mining
camps be fed, xlothed and sheltered
to the same degree as those of other
citizens.
The principles at issue in this great
strike will not be compromised by
the mine workers. .The dream of the
coal operators that the mine work
ers will engage m a multiplicity of
conferences and negotiate, independ
ent district agreements will not ma
terialize. The union will not dissi
pate its strength or betray its mem
bers by such tolly, the problems
of the coal industry are national in
scope and organic in nature.
Claims Issue Is National
"When the present strike is ended
the issues must be settled in a na
tional way. Either the base must
be fixed by the 'central competitive
field in the manner heretofore cus
tomary, or a national joint confer
ence must be assembled with joint
representation of each producing
field in the bituminous coal industry.
"The competitive relationship of
each producing district would then
be considered and the interest of
each be fully protected. An agree
ment thus settled would apply in all
districts whether union or nonunion
and would be a contribution to the
stabilization of industry. Such a
plan would doubtless be met with
wails of protest from . those whose
special interests might be affected
but the logic and sound judgment
of ?uch a . plan would appeal to
thoughtful people." :

Genoa, April 16. Then Russian

definitely yet or no a to whether
they will put into practice the con
dition of the Cannes resolution and
the guarantee contained in the Lon
doit experts' report, according to
French communique issued subse
quent to the adjournment of a
lengthy meeting between the allied
leader and the Russian.
It seemed impotniblc. said the
French statement, to get anythiu?
tangible from the soviet delegates,
who astonished the allied representa
tive by demanding 50,000,000.000
gold roubles a the amount due Rus
sia because of foreign intervention.
This it two and a half time greater
than the amount the allies claim
from Russia.
Italians Not Pleated.
An Italian statement regarding the
meeting was more optimistic. It
pointed out that the subjects dit
cussed are more vast in scope than
was dreamed of when the Genoa
conference originated.
"Thi," says the statement, "it an
attempt to bring about the coexist
ence in the world of finance, econ
omy and commerce, of two opposite
regimes capitalism and commun
ism. This morning the experts were
ntniffolitic in a kingdom of figures
and in the afternoon the allied lead
ers took the discussion hack into the
kingdom of principles.'
The bolshevik delegates have been
asked to expedite the discussion as
much as possible, and the conversa
tions will be resumed as soon as pos
sible. ,
Saw Term Unnermissible. !
Rica. April 16. The executive
rnmicil of the Moscow soviet de
clares in a resolution, that the ternit
of the allied experts, presented at
Genoa, are an impermissible attempt
on the liberty, independence and sov
ereignty of the Russian people and
demands a decisive refusal by the
Russian government.
"The experts' demands arc unheard
of privileges which the Russians
themselves do not have," says the
resolution. "They are trying t put
Russia on the level of colonies,
where foreigners are masters."
Leon Trotzky, the Russian war
minister. has addressed a special or
der to the red army in the Caucasus
on the subject of M. Barthou's re
quest for the admission of the former
Georgiani" rrptiWrc'to the Gwa;'n
ference. declaring that this indicates
that European,- especially French
capital, is endeavoring to create a
route to Caucasian wealth, particu
larly Baku oil. . He points out that
such moves are generally ionuncu
by intervention, and orders the sol
diers to "be doubly watchful and
keep your powder dry.
McAdoo to Enter Race

n
Washington, April 16. Former
President Wilson's letter repudiating
the message given to the New York
Hemnrratic dinner bv Joseph P.'
Tumultv and the 'Consequent break
between Mr. Wilson and his leng

here by some democratic leaders as

McAdoo is olannine to become a
candidate for the democratic presi
dential nomination in 1924.
Mr. Wilson's " repudiation of the
message to the Jefferson day ban
quet was actuated, in the opinion of
leading democrats, not because of
the wording of the message oe
livered by jSk, Tumulty as coming
from Wilson, Thut because of the im-
nression created that it was an en
dorsement for the renomination of
James M. Cox.
Mr. Wilson, his friends say, is not
for Cox for another nomination and
does lean favorably toward the
nomination; of his , son-in-law and
former secretary of the treasury.
who was runnerup to Cox at San
Francisco in 1920. Party leaders
insist that McAdoo is quietly man
euvering for the nomination next
time and that this was one of the
reasons for the recent removal of his

Public Hearing to Be Held in
Clay Center Today Epper

pointed by the. legislature to inves
tigate relative cost of state and coun
ty 'rofrT construction"" 'afrived"1here
this evening preparatory to entering
the reported hostile federal road ter
ritory of Clay county tomorrow.
This county, represented in the
legislature by Charles H. Epperson,
has' been a constant name on Ep
person's lips in legislative halls and
before the probe committee and it
has been pictured by Epperson as
filled with men in open arms against
the federal road plan, angered with
the personnel of the state highway
department and really to lambast the
depratment from soup to nuts when
fthe committee arrives at Clay Cen
ter.
It is at the' request of Epperson
that the committee isto visit his
county and investigate good roads
conditions there. George Johnson,
state engineer, has stated that the
opening of Epperson's constant fight
against his department was due to
the fact that the Clay couny cotm
missioners and state highway de
partment ran a state aid road direct
from Clay Center to Nelson and re
fused to detour and go through Ep
person's home town of Fairfield.
The committee will give every
man, woman and child- with idea or
a kick on road building an oppor
tunity to present them at a public
hearing' at the courthouse and also
will view the federal roads of Clay
county given such a black eye by
Epperson. Members of the commit
tee here tonight are Governor Mc
Kelvie, Representative Fred Hoff
meister, State Senators B. K. Bushee
and M. F. Rickard and Attorney
General Davis.
Epperson went to Clay Center
from Lincoln Saturday night Osten
sibly for the purpose of gathering
friends for a sally on Johnson's de
partment at the courthouse tomor
row. Epperson . has stated publicly
that no explanation given, by John
son on certain road matter would
satisfy him. Johnson is accompany

that their next attempt to square
themselves with the public in putting
Norton on their ticket as a third

to "be issued-short'y by"Wray-either
from York or tbrougli J. H. Edmis-

The leaders received Wrays' con
sent to prepare such a statement and
it is probable that on this statement

third party will depend to straighten
out the muddle .of Norton s candi
dacy on a personal platform agreeing
in hardly, a single plank with the
plattorm adopted by the third party
at its Orand island meeting.

Head of Farmers'
Council Scores
Tariff Measure
Benjamin Marsh Says Whole
Schefne Is to Permit
Manufacturers to Con
tinue Profiteering.
Omaha Bc Iail Wlrr.-
Washington, April 16. "The
tariff bill reported by tbc senate
finance committee is the worst of
the many gold bricks hajided farm
ers by" the present "administration,1
declared- Benjamin C. . Marsh,
managing director of the farmers
National, Council, ' in a statement
made public.
"If the drafters of the tariff bill
really wanted to give farmers the
same help as they do manufactured
products, the duty on wheat would
have been placed at $1 a bushel in
stead of 30 cents;, on green hides at
least 6 cents a pound instead of
cents a pound; on eggs in the shell
at least 35 cents instead of 8 cents
a dozen, and on wool 45 cents to
50" cents instead of 33 cents. Of
course, wool being a staple product
in the home state of President Har
ding (Ohio) it fared a little better.
"The whole scheme of the tariff
bill as reported in the senate is evi
dently to permit high priced manu
facturers to continue the same prof
iteering which they carried on dur
ing the war. Whatever the text of
rThe tariff bill, it is clear that the
duties levied on manufactured prod
ucts are on the American basis cost
o production, while those levied on
agricultural products are on the
basis of foreign cost of production.
Once again the farmer is forced to
be the goat fpr the profiteers.
