DID A en the the THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK TUESDAY. NOVEMBER. 11, 1919. big happening on Armistice Day, Frank Morrison, Secretary of the American Federation of Labor, when told of the announcement by acting President Lewis of the Miners' Organization, refused to say anything.

Edgar Wallace, legislative representative of the miners, who had been waiting for hours to hear what happened, likewise was silent, and others at Federation headquarters declined to comment on the settlement. Some officials said a statement might be issued later in the day by President Gompers or the Executive Council. There was much discussion among Labor leaders as to how the miners themselves might view the action of the executive officials of the miners in calling off the strike. One of the spokesmen for the union said large numbers probably would go back to work today and stay out tomorrow, while many idle today would work tomorrow. "We may expect the worst, sort of chaos for a time," he "because the men struck for more money and better working conditions, which they have failed to get." Mr.

Wallace thought there would be difficulty now in negotiating a no new wage agreement with the operators. Mr. Brewster on his arrival here today from St. Louis declined to comment on the settlement of the strike. "So far as operators are concerned the situation is unchanged," Brewster said.

"We have always been ready to resume negotiations with the miners when the strike was called off." Mr. Brewster was in conference today with number of operators who came here with him, and later they went to the office of Fuel Administrator Garfield. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor was to meet this afternoon and it was said at Federation headquarters that no statement of the strike settlement would be forthcoming in advance of the meeting. Despite the, announcement by union leaders that strike would be called off, "the Railroad Administration's coal distributing organization will continue to function until a majority of the strikers return to work," officials of the Central Coal Committee said, explaining that so far as the work of the distributing organization was concerned the strike would not have ended until something like normal production had been restored, Huge Reserve Coal Stocks. Officials gave the first intimation of the reserve coal stocks after hearing of the announcement by the miners' officials.

Director General Hines estimated that the coal held under supervision of the Central Committee aggregated about 15,000,000 tons. This, together with coal in storage and at tidewater bunkering stations, constituted what was estimated as a 30- days' supply for domestic consumption. The daily production, however, during the strike augmented this supply somewhat, officials said. Figures for 6, the the only bituminous day for output which on the November production was made public, show that approximately 486,000 tons were loaded from mines. Normal daily production before the strike was estimated by Railroad Administration officials at tons.

Investigation of the strike was proposed in a resolution introduced by Senator Jones, Republican, Washington, after press reports of the miners' decision to recall the strike order had been read at the request Senator Pomerene, Democrat. Ohio. The resolution was referred to the Senate Labor Committee, which recently completed an investigation of the steel strike and which will determine whether a coal inquiry is advisable. The resolution would give the committee authority to suggest any measures for Federal action to prevent recurrence of similar strikes. Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, said the resolution also should be broad enough to authorize investigation of Judge Anderson's injunction order.

In presenting the reports of the miners' action. Senator Pomerene said he believed the miners were entitled to some wage increases and that he could see no reason why there should not be an amicable adjustment of the controversy. PLOT TO DEPOSE SULTAN OF TURKEY DISCOVERED Berlin. Nov. 11 (via London) -A plot to depose the Sultan of Turkey has been discovered.

says a. nople dispatch dated Monday, received here today. TAILOR SHOP LOOTED; 29 SUITS STOLEN Morris Pines, a tailor whose shop is at 648 Bedford ave. and who lives above the store, found his shop looted when he entered it this morning. Pines has three padlocks on the door of the shop, all of which were broken.

The goods stolen include large quantities of cloth und silk on rolla and 29 suits of clothing which had been left for cleaning and repairing. Pines estimated the loss at $2,000. He notified Policeman Alster of the Clymer st. etation and Inspector Carey of the 16th Inspection District Detective Bureau, and they began work upon the case. This is one of a number of similar robberies that have taken place in the Eastern District within the past four months.

Paul Knoblock, 25, of 362. Hart was arrested today by Detective McCambridge, charged with grand larceny. It is alleged that he stole ten sable skins from the fur warehouse of Ellsworth Krohan at 24 Lombardi while he was making repairs in the factory building as an electrician. Knoblock admitted, the police say, that he had stolen and resold one skin, but denied any knowledge of the stealing of the nine. The skins were valued at $1,500.

POLICE TRAIL GIRL TO BOSTON IN QUEST OF LEMKE CASE CLUE Former Sweetheart of Boy Found Dead on Boat Gone From Flushing. The scene of official and private investigation of the mystery that surrounds the death of John W. Lemke, of Flushing, who was found strangled to death aboard his yacht in Flushing Bay, Oct. 19, clad in woman's garments, has shifted to Massachusetts. Police and private detectives engaged by the Lemke family are endeavoring to trace a former sweetheart of John Lemke's, a Flushing girl, who has moved to some place in the neighborhood of Boston.

As in. the case of Mrs. Manly, it is not believed that the girl is implicated in the cause of Lemke's death, but that information she can give may give a hint through which some exit from the tangled evidence may be gained. Twenty-three days have passed since young Lemke's body was found under the most mysterious circumstances that have surrounded a death in many years, and the solution of the problem is, on the statement of private detectives, about as far away as ever. The extent of the investigations by the police has not been revealed, but it has been learned that they are working along the same lines as private detectives and that men from Headquarters have transferred their activities to Massachusetts.

The investigators are now working on the two women whom Lemke knew--Mrs. Manly and the mysterious Flushing girl who has moved to Massachusetts. Mrs. Manly had known Lem.ke long and intimately and although once dropped from the thread of the investigation by the police, was again called to Headquarters Friday night for further questioning. She was not detained, and last night, according to a relative at the Hotel Netherlands, Manhattan, where she had been stopping, she left for Canada and will not return within a week.

The girl for whom the investigators are now searching is said to be a member of a well known Flushing family. According to report, it is thought possible that Lemke might have incurred the enmity of a Flushing man, whom the boy accused of having insulted the girl. The police will. not say when the girl left Long Island nor will they give her name. They say that her new home could not be located and detectives are still trying to locate it.

Although William Lemke failed today, either to confirm or deny the reported offer of $10,000 reward, his statement to The Eagle is that he has intended ever since his son's death to give a liberal reward for any information leading to a definite clue. It is his intention to see this case through, he says, and the cost will not figure if he is able to learn how and why his son met his death. GARFIELD IS ASKED TO RETURN TO CAPITAL Washington, Nov. 11-Fuel Administrator Garfield is at his home in Massachusetts, but at the request of Chairman Brewster of the Operators' Scale Committee, officials here communicated with him over the telephone requested that he return to Washington. Mr.

Brewster would not say what he desired to discuss with the Fuel Administrator. GEN, YUDENITCH HAS STARTED AN ATTACK AGAINST GATCHINA Helsingfors, Nov. 10-Gen.

GRAND JURY STUDIES ALL HYLAN LETTERS The extraordinary grand jury in New York County held no formal session today.

It was said today there will be no formal session of the grand jury until this committee has finished going over the papers which were seized. This, it is believed. will take up the remainder of the week. CHINA WILL LEAVE TSING- TAU SETTLEMENT TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS Peking, Wednesday, Nov.

5 (By the Associated Press)-Official denial is given reports that the Chinese Government contemplates opening direct negotiations with Japan over the restoration of Tsing-Tau. Chinese attitude on the subject appears to be unchanged and the country China's unanimous in preferring that claims await decision by the League of Nations. The Shantung Provincial Assembly has telegraphed the Government to remain steadfast. Japan, having ratified the Peace Treaty, according to opinion here, chooses to communicate with China regarding the return of Tsing-Tau, China must consider it a subject not to be discussed until the League of Nations takes it up.

This makes a total of 130 shops, members of the Printers League, employing about 1,000 compositors, which are said to have resumed work on the employers terms of a 48 hour week and a $6 increase. Many of the printing concerns continued 'to work today with smaller forces than they had before the strike land walkout in the printing industry, started more than four weeks ago, but they were able to obtain at least partial operation of the presses. Threats and intimidation, it was claimed by members of the Printers League, have kept some of the pressmen from returning to work, although they desired to do so. Mr. Green denied the claim made by members of Printing Pressmen's Union No.

51 that a committee of this local was negotiating with the employers for a settlement and a return in a body to the International fold. The Buttrick Publishing Company, at 223 Spring Manhattan, had 70 pressmen and 40 feeders report for work this morning.

Smuggled In Under Red Cross Disguise -Real Leaders Still Sought. What has so far been done in the movement to root out the revolutionary element in this nation, has merely scratched the surface of the larger the nets stretched by the raiders in the task ahead, ten was learned today. last few days those caught have been to hit chiefly the small fry. The chief purposes of the raids was to get a line on the leaders. That is not by any means an easy task.

In fact, it is a colossal one. There are, it has been estimated, somewhere in th neighborhood of 1,000,000 radicals in this country. They are Left Wing Socialists, Communists, members of the Communist Labor party, and Bolsheviks. They have thousands of meeting places and hundreds of publications which sow the seeds of radicalism daily and nightly. But a man may be as radical as he pleases and yet never come in contact with any of the members of the Inner Circle.

He will not know them by name; he will never see any of them. The members of the Inner Circle are not all known to one another and the identity of the leader may be known to one or two and no more. They meet in groups of three, never more, at one another's houses. They keep no minutes and no records of their proceedings. Inner Circle Issues Orders.

unto word to Inner strike. Circle The that strikes passes that on have so far occurred are all part of one big plan most ingeniously thought out, as it was explained to The Eagle, which has for its object the curtailment of production and the boosting of the cost of living no that the masses may be ground and new recruits for radicalism gained in that way. The Inner Circle is in direct touch, it is said, with Lenine and Trotsky, through agents in this country. It is supplied with finances from Russia which are brought here by trusted agents. Securities to the amount of $2,000,000 were brought here by an interpreter, a Russian, who came into the country under the wing of a Red Cross worker.

Millions and millions of dollars in Russian money have found their way into this country in various ways. Some of it has been carried in by sailors. Much gold and considerable platinum has been smuggled in. It is known where a great deal of this money has been banked and, there is reason to believe that the financial agents here are known. This is all part of the plan, the tentacles of which reach into all parts of the world like the arms of an octopus for the world revolution which was discussed at the Third Internationale held in Finland.

Because of the extreme care which has been exercised in selecting the members of the Inner Circle it is a monumental task to get on the inside. These men have no halls to meet in. They have passwords and an associate must be personally known not only over a period of months but of years, his integrity and trustfulness A member of the Department or tested beyond the shadow of a doubt. Justice might not have much trouble in joining a radical organization nor in attending their meetings but. there it would stop.

When he attempts to penetrate to the Inner Circle he runs against a wall of adamant. Small Results From Raids. While the Government agents have been after the men "higher up" the Lusk Committee has been scooping up minnows from the sea of radicalism, it is said. Their raids have spectacular but productive of few results and today a man in close touch with the situation said that the Lusk Committee was giving th radicals the best advertising they have had in many months. Immigration Commissioner Camminetti arrived here today to take personal charge of the deportation cases.

Department of Justice agents were busily engaged in preparing the cases of radicals gathered in the raids of Friday night with a view to shipping them from the country The prisoners are at Ellis Island. Thousands of radicals have fled from the city following the raids but all their meeting places are closely watched and those who the authorities have warrants for cannot escape the iron ring thrown around them. Among other places being watched is the Mexican border. On the other side of the Mexican border radicals are very strong. Assistant United States conferred Attorney James W.

Osborne 2d with Assistant District Attorney Alexander I. Rorke at District Attorney's office today relative to possible prosecutions of the radicals seized in the raids Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Mr. Rorke has been in charge of cases against radicals on behalf of District Attorney Edward Swann's office and recently secured the conviction of two Finns for criminal anarchy under the New York State statute. While neither Mr.

Rorke nor Mr. Osborne would discuss what transpired during their conference, it developed that the purpose of Mr. Osborne's visit was to learn whether the radicals who were arrested could be prosecuted under' Section 260 of the advocacy of criminal anarchy a the laws of this in State which makes crime punishable by maximum imprisonment of ten years. It develops that there is no Federal law corresponding exactly to the New York State criminal anarchy statute and that therefore the Federal Government is attempting to ascertain whether it would not advisable to turn the prosecution over to the State authorities. Attorneys Charles Recht and Walter Nelles of the National Civil Liberties Bureau, representing James Larkin, the Irish agitator and strike leader, and Benjamin Gitlow and the other 35 prisoners detained at Police Headquarters on the behest of the Lusk Committee, later went into conference with Mr.

Rorke in an effort to adjust bail for the prisoners' release. Larkin and Gitlow are being held in $15,000 bail for examination tomorrow. The attorneys are endeavoring to have the bail reduced. It was announced that they have funds sufficient to bail out the entire group.

In a talk with one of the officials he told me frankly that the matter of a jail commitment for contempt of court on was the least worry any miners' official had. Most of them, he said, never, apparently gave it a thought. The one great question was to do that which would be of greatest value not only to the coal miners, but to other unions as well.

The right of Labor to strike when and where it pleased was really we the issue involved as most of them saw it. Strength of Public Opinion Underestimated. I am very largely of the opinion that these Labor leaders underestimated the strength of public opinion against them. They persistently have regarded this matter of the injunction and the order to rescind their action on the strike as a movement by the Government in favor of the operators. There was an apparent inability or lack of vision to discern the greater issues behind Washington's course.

The extremists fought bitterly for every inch of ground. The declaration the Washington officers of the American Federation of Labor, headed by Mr. Gompers, gave them great encouragement. Then, too, the defiant telegram from the representatives or 10.000 miners in Bellevue, district denouncing Judge Anderson's order "ravings of still encouraged them and tion to ignore the order. confirmed them our their It was the most dramatic night.

possibly, in the history of Union Labor. half hour for dinner was permitted, and at 7 o'clock the arguments and debate began anew. During the night the members of the conference would leave the assembly room in pairs and by threes and sit around the balcony overlooking the rotunda, talking in undertones with frequent vigorous and expressive gestures. Recess at 2 A. M.

At 2 o'clock a recess of 15 minutes was taken to give the members an opportunity to get a cup coffee and atretch their cramped limbs. At 4:10 adjournment was announced, with the decision to abide by the order of Federal Coum. It was an historic night for Labor. for the reason that it saw the end of the greatest industrial strike ever declared in this country, with the greatest number of men involved. It was the first time also that the Government, backed by adequate laws.

in such a summary a labor controversy of such magnitude. The next step in these proceelings is up to the Government. it undoubtedly will open negotiations to bring the miners and operators together for a conference and the adjustment of their differences. Just what shape this will assume will rest with the President and the Attorney General. Way Open to Negotiations.

(By the Associated Press.) Indianapolis, Nov. 11-The recall of the strike order will open the way immediately for a resumption of the negotiations between the miners and the operators, as the operators have announced that they would be ready to consider a new wage agreement at any time the strike order was withdrawn. question of just how many of the coal diggers would obey the order rescinding the strike was problematical early today. In some districts it was considered that the resumption of work would be general, while in others would be only partial, and in some, it was said, the return would be very slow. The meeting was probably the most momentous ever held' by the miners' organization, if not the most weighty ever conducted by a labor organizatien in this country, for, in the view of labor leaders, it was to determine whether an organization would be forced by Governmental pressure through the courts to discontinue al strike, when apparently all the memhers of the unnion were behind the walkout, which was being conducted without any form of violence or dam- 820 to property.

Labor in general, as represented by the executive committee Amerjean federation of Labor, had offered its unqualified support to the miners in their strike, while obedience or disobedience of a Federal Court order hung in the balance, and this fact gave miners' representatives who favored holding out an argument which weighed heavily with some of their colleagues. On the other hand, the President's designation of the strike as unlawful. placed the coal workers in the position of defying the Government of the United States. If they refused to call off the strike, and, aside from the consequences attaching to disobedience of the Federal Court order, many were adverse to considering anything which could be construed as lack of Americanism. No Statement by Operators.

Washington, Nov. 11-President Wilson probably will telegraph both the coal operators and officials of the United Mine Workers of America. asking them to get together and settle their differences, it was said today at the White House. At the same time the President probably will renew his offer of the services of the Government toward mediation. While plainly showing their relief, administration offcials said the action of the union officers in voting to obey the mandate of the Federal Court at Indianapolis, ordering the strike called off, was what they had expected from the first.

Officials of the American Federation of Labor showed surprise, but would not comment. They said a statement might be issued later by President Gompers or the executive council of the Federation. Some administration officers said the miners' action had put the issue squarely up to the coal operators. Representatives of the operators here, however. had no statement to make, explaining that any pronouncement would come from Thomas T.

Brewster of St. Louis, head of the scale committee. Labor Leaders Surprised. Labor leaders here who got their first word from Indianapolis through press dispatches, were distinctly sur. Former Attorney General Gregory denied in a statement issued in Manhattan today he given assurances to Labor do leaders that the Lever Act would not be enforced against their organizations in attempts to better working conditions, as claimed by offiof the American Federation of Labor.

"While Attorney General I did not at any time give assurances to anyone that any law would not be enforced against any class of citizens," he said. "I gave no assurances that the Government would not seek to enforce the Lever Act against workers." COL. BELL LEFT BULK OF ESTATE TO WIDOW Will of Late G. A. R.

NO ARTICLE TEN IF IT IS AMENDED, HITCHCOCK STATES Administration Forces in Senate Lined Up for Final Battle on Reservation, 1013 1010 16130mit AlT Washington, Nov 11--With a vote imminent on the Foreign Relations Committee amendment to Article of the League of Nations Covenant, the adoption of which President Wilson has characterized as a virtual rejection of the Treaty, Senate Administration leaders today rallied their forces for the final stand. Unless a break comes in the ranks of opponents to the League of Nations adoption of the reservation seemed assured. The reservation stood up yesterday under repeated onslaughts by supporters of the League and was before the Senate unaltered from the form in which it came from the committee.

The reservation provides that under Article 10, which pledges member States to preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of all other members, the United States shall assume no obligation to use its naval or military forces except on express authorization of Congress in every specific case. Senator Hitchcock, Democratic leader, declared that if the reservation were adopted there would be no Article 10. He added there would be no objection on the part of the Democrats or President Wilson to a reservation saying the United States could not make war without action by Conthere was objection to the declaration, "assumes no obligation." London, Nov. 11-Arthur U. Balfour, former Foreign Minister and now Lord President of the Council, opening the League of Nations campaign today, declared that the future of the League would be dark indeed unless all the Powers, and particularly Great Britain.

were prepared to take an equal share in the burdens the League casts upon them.
