j a mint Ion of witnesses that ia re- I'nlted Mine Worker* of America is
nulling in the issuance of an aver- horeby instructed to return to work
age of a warrant an hour. 'on Friday morning, December 16,
(Continued from rage 1)
Hand ia a shock to all the other
delegates.
Feeling between the British and
French has again become tense.
The French are charging the Brit-
ish with a breach of faith on re-
vealing their naval program yester-
day and the British reply that the
French are out of sympathy now with
the spirit of the conference.
The United Press ia able to reveal
the manner in which France has been
smacked in the secret meetings of
the committee of fifteen representa-
tives of other powers.
Balfour Accuses French*
Arthur J. Balfour, six feet tall
and graciousness personified, lost his
calm smile, in replying to th<
French.
They were breaking up the con
ference or would do so if they per-
sisted in their demands.
Secretary of State Hughes backed
him and let it be known that Ameri
ca is not disposed to see France build
her navy.
The Inference was that France
would have to be content with prac
tlcally what she has. plus the right
to a certain replacement—probably
between 1.7 and 2 on a scale of
5-5-3.
Senator Schanrer told the confer-
ees Italy would take the conference
allotted that nation, but It would bo
compelled to build if France did. He
pointed to the tragic economic conse-
quences France's course would have
nnd showed that Italy is anything
but sympathetic to the French stand.
Reply Kfaslve Way.
The French replied In what other
listeners terms an "evasive" man-
ner, evidently pointing out their
case was not finished.
Since yesterday's session there-
have been a series of private at-
tempts to straighten out the em-
barrassing situation caused by the
French policy.
This course was believed likely to
result today in a tamer mood on the
French part, for France—promised
non-Insolation when Briand was
here—was actually threatened today
with being outlawed should she per-
sist In a demand so counter to alms
of the arms conference.
For Balfour has pointed out that
French persistence would disrupt
the whole program, compelling Brit-
ain. Japan and America to build up
proportionately. Britain would have
to add seven ships and America five
within the next ten years to keep
pace with the French, he said.

laliena is expected to follow arrest

PITTSBURG, Kan., Dec. 17.—By
the largest vote ever recorded In the
history of District 14. of the United
Mine Workers, Howat and Dorchy,
deposed president and vice-president
are being re-elected practically
unanimously in the election figures
now being tabulated from 141
locals.
From A,(HN) to 7,000 Seen.
'Reports from a little more than
half the locals of the district show
4.080 votes for Howat," said John
Fleming, who is acting in his place
during Howat's incarceration in the
Columbus jail. This means that he
that the contract between the rep-
resented vea of the United Mine
Workers of Amercla, and the coal
operators of Kansas may be fulfilled.
Do not fail to report for work to-
morrow morning."

"Tho only way in which John I..

is that they have leagued themselves
with Governor Allen and his Indus-
trial Court in an endeavor to break
the Btrike. In the bringing of sol-
diers here Governor Allen and his
Industrial f'ourt have the full co-
operation of John L. Lewis This

"The state of Kansas under cor-'

impose a condition of industrial
slavery on labor, and In the efforts

to do this, they will absolute yall.
But before they realiie their failure,
in their blindness they will have
destroyed the coal mining industry
of Kansas and the business inter-

driven Into bankruptcy. Tis Isi the
price which the supporters of Gov-

experiment.
"That a few men or few women

"It will keep away a lot of the
men who have been working," he
answered. "So they have told ua,
there is a deep-seated prejudice in
this district against going to work
past bayonets. As for the scabs who
were imported from outside, many
of them have gotten out in the last
couple of days."
There are 300 men already here-
a machine gun company and three
cavalry troops, only a few of whom
have mounts. Four companies of In-
fantrymen are also expected. The

By chance the officers of the na-
tional guardsmen have chosen the
same headqtiaters as Van A. Bittner.
The coming of the national guards-
men will make unnecessary the arm-
ed guard looking after the safety of
Van Bittner and the other officials

women were marching.
The women said lhat they never
had any intention to visit the Still-
well hotel, but from the first day of
the marching a group of armed men
have been on duty in the hotel. Van
Bltlner's supporters say that these
are former service men who are in-
terested only in upholding law and
order, but representatives of the ex-
pelled district who saw them de-
clared that they were strikebreakers.

The operators and the provisional
