TO NAME TICKET EARLY IN JUNE

CHICAGO SELECTED AS PLACE FOR G. O. P. CONVENTION IN. JUNE, 1920. Washington, Deci 10.—The republican national committee today selected Chicago and Tuesday, June Bth, as the place and time for the national convention at which the party's 1920 candidate for president will be nominated. On the roll call Chicago mustered 44 votes to nine for St. Louis, whose boosters had made a stubborn fight for the honor. The choice of the convention date was unanimous. The committee also authorized the creation of two new departments of party organization to deal respectively with policies and general party welfare. The former, composed of selected members of the committee and the other of men and women representing labor, capital,, farmers and others, will go to work at once sorting out subjects to be dealt with in the 1920 campaign. The plan of Will H. Hays, the national chairman, for limitation of individual campaign contributions to SI,OOO, formally was approved. After hearing the report of Chairman Hays and adopting a resolution approving his efforts for party organization and harmony, the committee ended its session and many of the republican leaders, who had come to Washington for the gathering, left for their homes. Despite the committee meeting today the maneuvering of the friends of various candidates was conspicuously in evidence, but the only result appearing on the surface was a statement by Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, declaring he was not seeking the nomination and would not permit any personal ambition to interfere with party harmony. During the past few days, a movement in his favor has been actively promoted. Senator Watson’s statement follows :

“This statement is made for the purpose of defining my position with reference to the republican nomination for the presidency. “Not at any time have I Seen a candidate for this place, having repeatedly declined to permit the use of my name, but many of my friends in Indiana, and in other states, have insisted on my becoming a candidate, and I feel that I should definitely say that I am not seeking the presidency; that I shall not become a candidate, either actively or passively, and that my sole political ambition is to succeed myself as senator from Indiana. “I cannot but decline to enter into any factional strife in my own state. The future of our country is too perilous and fraught with too many dangers and the Republican party is too great an agency for their proper solution to permit one who believes in that party, as I do, to be the cause of serious differences in our own ranks. “I will not permit any personal ambition of mine to interfere, with the harmony that pervades the ranks of my party at this critical time—a harmony that I believe to be essential to the welfare of our country, and for that reason, I decline to permit the use of my name as a candidate for the nomination as president.”

COAL STRIKE COMES TO END

MINERS VOTED WEDNESDAY TO ACCEPT TERMS OF PRESIDENT WILSON.

Indianapolis, Dec. 10.—The coal miners’ strike is ended. With but one dissenting vote the general committee of the United Mine workers of America in session here this afternoon voted to accept President Wilson’s proposal for immediate return to work pending a final settlement of their wage controversy with the operators by a commission to be appointed by him. Telegrams were sent out to -the four thousand locals of the union tonight by international officials of the mine workers, instructing the men to return to work immediately. Full instructions with regard to the agreement will be sent out tomorrow morning. Operators tonight predicted full resumption of operation Friday and shipment of coal from the mines beginning Monday morning. Miners, operators and government officials alike were highly gratified over the settlement tonight and all sides appeared confident of a final satisfactory settlement of the fight by the commission. The action today ends a tie-up of the' coal industry of more than five weeks duratiofi and one which was more far reaching in its effects than any other in the history of the country. As a result of the strike the ocuntry was fast approaching a complete shutdown of industry and widespread suffering among its one hundred million inhabitants. The decision of the miners came after many hours of debate, in which the radical element in the general committee made incendiary speeches against operators and others interested in settlement of the strike and for a time threatened to defeat all efforts to settle the strike at this time. The conservative element, led by Acting President John L. Lewis and Secretary Treasurer William Green, gained control of the situation this morning and succeeded in putting down practically all opposition by the time the question came to a vote. One concession was made to the radicals, the convention agreeing to the calling of a general convention of the miners at a future date, at which time the action of and reasons for the general committee will be fully explained. The opponents of acceptance of the president’s plan made their fight principally on the theory that only a general convention of the mine workers had power to call off the strike.

Members of the general committee tonight steadfastly refused to make public the name of the delegate who cast the one dissenting vote. Two statements were given out following the adjournment of the conference by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, who first submitted the president’s proposal to Acting President Lewis and Secretary Treasurer Green at a conference in Washington last Saturday, and came to Indianapolis Monday to await the outcome of consideration of the plan by the miners* general committee. Mr. Palmer’s first statement expressed his gratification at the decision of the United Mine Workers and commended Mr. Lewis and Mr. Green for “their wise and patriotic action.” Two statements were given out by the international officials of the miners, one of them having been prepared during the meeting this afternoon to announce the decision. The other statement was dictated to newspaper men by Acting President Lewis. Mr. Lewis’ statement declared that the action of the general committee was taken with consciousness of the responsibilities of the miners to the nation during “this acute industrial crisis and firm in the conviction that the word of the president of the United States will secure for the miners just consideration of their merited claims.” He stated that the international convention of the miners would be reconvened in Indianapolis and a supplemental explanation given the delegates from all of the 4,000 locals. Mr. Lewis declared that the action taken today should “demonstrate to the people of bur country that the United Mine Workers of America are loyal to their country, and believe in the perpetuity of our democratic institutions. No greater demonstration of such facts ficould be given than our action in accepting the proposal of the president of the United States.
