PARTY LEADER MAKES PLEDGE TO BACK COX

Sen. Walsh Holds Conference With Governor Gives Views on-League. r.y Associated Press: DAYTON, O.. July 20. Gov. Cox, democratic presidential standard bearer, Thursday was pledged the vigorous and unqualified support of Sen. David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, a leader among senate democrats, who differed widely from the administration on the League of Nations and who fought for reservations. Sen. Walsh arrived here unexpectedly Thursday and was Gov. Cox's guest at dinner before leaving for the east. "I shall aid in every way possible to secure Gov. Cox's election," said Mr. Walsh. "I voted for him from the first at San Francisco and shall continue my most loyal and vigorous aid." Sen. Walsh said he had not learned Gov. Cox's position regarding reservations and other details in the league controversy, adding that he had not come here to discuss or advise with the candidate on that or any subject. He called solely to talk over campaign affairs, he said, with D. J. Mahoney. Gov. Cox's son-in-law. and while here the governor Insisted upon Thursday night's visit to Trail's Fnd. liven should he and the governor differ on the league. Son. Walsh said he still would support the governor enthusiastically. "Most Progressive IeiiKrrnt.' "He was the most progressive and liberal candidate in the held at San Francisco," Mr. Walsh added. The senator was the sole visitor Thursday at Trail's End. He arrived just when Gov. Cox was finishing the first rough draft of his acceptance address, and prepaflns to be the guest of honor here Friday at the "home conilng'' .and non pclltlcal celebration planried by thct governor's friends In Dayton and others In the Miami valley. This will open with an extensive parade at 2:30 o'clock, but under revised plans made Thursday, all speechmaking was eliminated from the program. Gov. Cox will review the parade, however.

He aims to hold it within 9.600 words, and might be able to reduce it somewhat. liefore Friday's celebration he planned to start the reduction and polishing off process with assurance of its being ready Saturday for advance distribution to the press. Hope that the league would not be the campaign's paramount issue was expressed by Sen. Walsh, who led the successful effort in the platform committee at San Francisco for the words in the league plank stating that the party does not oppose reservations making America's obligations clearer and more specific. "I hope we can devote more attention to American questions." said tho senator to friends here, asserting that opposition to profiteering should be stressed. Delicate JueMioii. To a query as to whether he approved the statements of Pres't Wilson and Gov. Cox after their white house conference, Sen. Walsh declined to answer. The senator declared to visitors that he still favored league covenant reservations and would never vote for the league without reservation to article ten. The republicans, he predicted, would seek to make reservation of article ten their principal fight, and he said Gov. Cox should be "very careful" what position he took. That Irish questions would not be campaign issues also was predicted by Mr. Walsh. "I don't think they will figure at all," he said. "People of Irish blood w 111 vote Just as they alw ays have, republican or democratic, as Americans, regardless of their views on Irish independence. I a sides rushing his acceptance address. Gov.

FOUR GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO CONFER ON GOAL Committee Representing Coal Industry Will Attend New York Meeting. Py Associated Press : WASHINGTON. July 29. Moans of averting winter coal shortaed and of defeating profiteering, in the coal trade will be discussed at a conference in New York Monday by representatives of four government departments and a. com mitte; from the coal industry. Acting Attorney General Ames, in announcing thu conference Thursday mht si'.id the government hoped to develop a program on which the coal interests could come "half wuy" in solving the coal problem. Mr. Ames, who with Attorney General Palmer will direct the torma tion of the plan declared thero was no reason for a scarcity of fuel at the present time and that if a shortage existed it was through faulty distribution. He added that tncre were 'no economic reasons" lor the high coal prices which obtain throughout the country. This particular phasv of the situation, he said, is being given close study both by the departnnt of Justice and by many representatives of the coal industry who feel that present conditions should undergo a change. Discuss JJinbai go. Although tho question of an embargo on export coal will be discussed at the coming conference, Mr. Ames said it a-ppeared that the embargo could be discarded as an effective means of increasing the supply available for domestic use. L,ts than ten million tons of coal navo been exported during the first six months of this year, including shipments to Canada, he asserted, an I this amount had not therefore materially reduced the stocks here with a production for the period estimated at I'.'.OuO tons. Wage questions probably also will come up for discussion since Secretary of Labor Wilson is understood to have recommended a reopening of the wage award In a prepared repo;t on the coal situation in general and strike conditions In the Illinois and Indiana fields in particular, submitted Thursday to I'res't Wilson. The labor secretary returned to Washington yesterday, and at the request of the president immediately set to work on the report. His recommendation for reopening the wage award, it is understood, would be merely to bring under it wages of mine laborers hich were omitted from the award of the bituminous coal commission. Other features of the secretary's report were not disclosed. Imite Others. .Secretary Commerce Alexander, Secretary of Navy Daniels and Chairman Benson of the shipping board havo been invited to send rep-rescntatve-s to the New Y'crk conference. The interest of thtso departments in finding a solution to the difficulties besetting the coal trade Mr. Ames said, lay in the faxt that both the navy department and shipping board wer heavy purchasers of coal for bunkering while the department of con.-nurco always h:.j been of aid to the industry in a supervisory w ay.

An official statement from the state department Thursday disclosed that representations have been made to the Uritish government regarding its policy touching the exploitation of oil fields, and the distribution of oil from mandate countries. Th-3 subject had been discussed informally between the department and Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, here, and the American embassy in London also is believed to have been gathering information on the subject. The exchanges between the two governments on the oil question are understood to have begun to take on a formal character more than a month ago and a note was addressed to the British government which was not in any sense a pretest, tor the state department at that time had little beyond press reports upon which to work, but was rather Intended to develop the intentions of the British in regard to the oil fields of Mesopotamia and perhaps some of the Balkan countries. Much Confusion. A good deal of confusion exists In official circles here as to the nature of agreements repart(d to have been made between Great Britain and Prance and i erhap.s other entente countries regarding the distribution of oil as in Asia Minor. Information is being sought particularly by this government as to prewar agreements and the extent of governmental control over the oil lields as distinguished from undertakings arranged by private oil interests which occupy a different status from an international standpoint. Assertions have been made and taken notice of by the state department that the arrangements that are now being made for the distribution of oil between the allied countries are in ,:.7e with the plans formed by the economic conference, an outgrowth c the peace conference in Paris fron which the t'nited States governmen. withdrew when the senate wlthh :d its approval of the peace troa. That conference projected a co- tinuation in the period after the wa.- of the system of joint conti ol of t production and distribution of t :w materials under which these materials were rationed among the entente nations until normal conditions should be restored In the economic world, ltcsists Appeals. While readily subscribing to the original agreements as very necessary war measures the Washington government is understc od to hae resisted the appeals of the entente powers to continue in the combination now that the war has ended, holding that there is no longer necessity for any such sstem of rationing and that the ordinary forces of business law should be allowed to prevail. As petroleum Ls one of the most important of these raw materials which was rationed during the war and m view of the rapid diminution (f this country's supply, naturally the government here has felt It necessary to omit no effort to maintain the open door for oil consumers of all nationaities, no matt r where the oil riflds be located.

Goodrich Sneaks Out of Town as He is Quizzed

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. July In a speech before the Indiana senate Thursday night, Sen. James P. Nejdl, of Lake county, made direct charges against what he termed the machinations of Gov. Goodrich and his cohorts in interfering with the progress of the special .session of the assembly. When he challenged the governor to appear before the houses Friday morning and declare his altitude on the tax measures it was discovered that the governor had suddenly left the city. His friends were reticent to ray where he had gone or why. Opponents of the Goodrich administration led by Nejdl believe he left in an attempt to dodge the issue.

MOVE TO FORCE DECLARATION OF PEACE IS KILLED Action to Compel U. S. to End War Dismissed in Supreme Court. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, July Chief Justice MrCoy of the District of Columbia supreme court Thursday dismissed the petition for mandamus to compel Secretary of State Colby to promulgate the congressional peace resolution vetoed by Pres't Wilson ar.d declare the United States at peace with Germany and Austria. Harry S. McCartney, an attorney of Chicago, who filed the petition, noted appeals and announced his intention an appeal to the district court of of seeking a writ of certiorari from tho United States supreme court to transfer the case to that tribunal without waiting for the action of the district appelate division. De'fe'iiso Powers. Waiving the point of absence of formal d?mand as pointed out by tho court, government attorneys called the attention of the court to the section of revised statutes of the United States in which is set forth the power of the secretary of state over the laws passed by congress. The attorneys asserted that the secretary may declare as laws only such acts of congress as had received the approval of the president or had been sent to the secretary by tho president of the senate or the speaker of the house, depending on which body was the last to pass tho .act over the veto. As the peace resolution, after being vetoed by Pres't Wilson failed of re-enactment in the house, the government contended the peace resolution never reached Mr. Colby an I a manamus to compel him to promulgate something which he has never received would be vain and useless.
