S. Press of Japan Givea 8pae to Dis- cussion of Various Phases of ths Treaty as Accepted by Washington a Few Days Ago Toklo The Japanese press com ments favorably on the ratification by the United States of the treaty, but give the "no alliance" reservation adopted by the senate a mixed reception. Says tli Chual Shogyo Shlmbo: "The ratification should be credited to President Harding, who, reflecting on the failure of his predecessor In dealing with the results of the Versailles conference. Included Senator Underwood in the delegation at Washington to provide an enortlve Issue. "Now that the quadruple treaty la ratified, passage of the supplementary the naval and Chinese treaties will not be difficult, and the attitude of the senate may safely be said to have been decided. "The reservation la not likely to have particular significance, nor alter the International conception of tho treaty. Settlement of the attitude of the American senate toward the treaty and Is a matter for congratulation must be welcomed as Xorecasting ratification by all." The Hochl Shimbun thinks the reservation cannot be made, an excuse by the other powers to hesitate in ratification of the entente, "because the reservation is nothing but an explicit representation of what the Unit ed States really meant in reference to the entente. The newspaper adds : America had nothing in view in concluding the entente but abolition e of the alliance.

LEWIS SHE UNION IS DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN DEMANDS Labor Leader Says Wages Are Not Money; But Only Pounds of Life's Blood to Nourish Body Of People The business concern which cannot meet Its fixed charges Is bankrupt; failure to provide a healthful standard of living for his family a working inana fixed charge mean eventual physical and moral bnnkrupt cy to the nation. This was the exion; on which B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts unions, based his plea for workers Tuesday before the United States railroad lubor board. Figures comparing railroad em ployes expenditures for food with minimum requirements for bnro sub slstence as worked out by Professor M. E. Poffn, food specialist of the Uni verslty of California, showed that railroad mechanics In 1921 were able to purchase but 64 per cent of the meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary for maintenance of their families at the lowest level of safety, Mr. JeweiJ aid. High wages rather than a further cut, were urged on the board by Mr. Jewell In lilt fight against the 10 per cent alash proposed by 205 roads now before the board. Wages, he asserted, were "the life blood of the nation and reduction of wages means reduction of nourishment to the bodies of citizens." The railroad Induatry does not today pay a living wage to the mechanic employed In Ita shops," said Mr. Jewell, "we have measured the average monthly earnings of men In the railroad shops by every possible atnnd-arand In every instance they are found wantlug. "The purchasing power of real railroad famine are demonstrated by the analysis of 254 Itemized monthly expense accounts. They are distributed over the country, but In no sense selected.

The following women are among those running for congress this year; Mra. Ellen Duance Davis of Philadelphia, Mrs. Wlnnlfred Mason Buck of Chicago, Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer of Hill Top, Cook county, Illinois; Mrs. Irene Cleveland Buell of Ashland, Neb., and Mrs. A. K. Gault of St. Peter, Minn. The latter two are sisters. The Philadelphia candidate, seeking the Democratic nomination, is a of Benjamin Franklin, who as a boy exchanged argumentative letters with a friend defending the propriety of educating women and their fitness for education. He explained In his autobiography, however, that he took this advanced stand perhapa a little for dispute's sake. Though times have changed, the present candidates encounter an ittltude of surprise sometimes, Judg-nfrom remarks of Mrs. Buell and Mrs. Huck. Mrs. Huck, who Is the daughter of the late Congressman William E.

Mrs. Gault, the Minnesota candidate, s Mrs. Buells sister. The two have filed papers In accordance with an agreement of long standing between the sisters that If one ran for congress the other should do likewise, Mrs. Buell says. Mrs. Bueil set the example. The Nebraska woman, who classes herself as a progressive Democrat, adds that their father was the first mayor of the municipality of which Mrs. Gault is now mayor, and that polities runs in the family.' Similarly, Mrs. Huck. Republican, says that common interests with her father and determination to continue his work led her to file for congressman at large to fill the vacancy creat."'he says the fact ed by his death, that she is happily married and the mother of four healthy children influenced party leaders to desire her cansay didacy.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, declared Sunday on his arrival here to attend congressional hearings. There are 600,000 miners ready to stay out of the mines "indefinitely, until the operators are ready to discuss with us ttie question of new wage agreements in the central competitive fields, Mr. Lewis declared, adding that, while the union courted investigation for anthracite and the bituminous industry, it seeks no government intervention, but does ask for the support of public opinion la forcing the operators to continue bargaining with miners over and wages working conditions." Discussing coal reserves and the effect of the strike on the interests of consumers, Mr. Lewis strongly expressed his opinion that "a pinch would come earlier than expected. He declared nonunion mine production hud been "greatly exaggerated, and that operators had been more or leas openly following tactics that forced a strike so thdy could get higher prices and greater profits. "There won't be a single man return to work this week," Mr. Lewis said, from the 600,000 men who went out It takes a little longer in the nonunion fields for us to get the reports. In the West Virginia panhandle, for instance, right along the Ohio line, there are about 5000 or 6000 men in nonunion mines for whom meetings are being held. They'll probably be out soon. There are meetings here and there In nonunion territory all over the United States. Well get the returns luter. In the union territory we know what happened, the operators arent even going to try to run the mines. Taking notice of the suggestion by Chairman Borah of the senate labor committee that the government ought to Intervene further into the situation, Mr. Lewis remarked that he was "afraid nothing much could be done with the 'operators. Every attempt has been made to get them to meet their obligations to continue collective bargaining with us, he continued, and I assume they will maintain their refusal no matter who tries to get them to confer. We stand ready, now as ever, to enter any conference with them to dfscuss the terms of a new wage contract which will allow us to resume work. If the miners today were occupying the position of refusing to discuss a wage contract, as the operators are, they'd be morally castigated uy all the citizens of this land. Although the operators regard each other as competitors," Mr. Lewis said, and are not acting in concert, we know that we can't get a general wage scale, without unity of action in die central competitive field, because a difference of a cent a day in wages means cents per ton in the selling price of coal, makes turmoil in markets and doses up old mines to open new ones. "Still they were a unit in wanting suspension, he continued. They had loaded up all the big consumers with coal on the strike scare, and held up the market prices while the loading was going on. Now they think that if trey're shut down long enough therell be a scarcity, nnd a runaway market. Their disposition made the e str'ke Ihcvit-.ible.- : estimates the maximum production of the nonunion mines ut Mr. Lewis 4,000,000 tons a week, much of which he said, was good only for coke. Further, he declared, the middle west could not pay the freight to get nonunion employment of a few additional men, with a view of mining from 2000 to 3000 tons of ore for shipment to the mills of the Arthur plant. It was learned Tuesday from reliable sources. The mines at Bingham; it Is said, will mine 2KK to 3000 tons of ore dally for the next several weeks. As the capacity of the Arthur plant Increases mining operations ut the mines will increase. Truckloads of furniture are moving along the roads to Garfield and Magna, bringing in new families to the two towns each day, according to Information received from Magna. Merchants are looking forward to the return of normal times. As the mining and milling operations increuse more men will be given employment, the payroll will increase and supplies must be purchased. This will bring prosperity to Salt Lake and the surrounding country, It was said. As the mill are going to commence operations, we, the Commercial club, of Arthur, feel that after one year of drouth and hard times, we should celebrate the occasion of good times for the future, Dr. Westphal, president of the Commercial club, says in a statement Issued Tuesday. Following la the statement issued Tuesday morning from the offices of the Utah Copper company in regard to the resumption of operations : Telegraphic advice has been received from Colonel D. C. Jackling to the effect that the statement published in the newspapers and attributed to Colonel CliarleB Hayden Is correct and represents approximately what the compnny expects to do regarding resumption of operations. This statement was, ineffect, that production at first would necessarily be on a small scale and tliut It would gradually be increased to approximately 5 per cent of the combined capacity of the Magna and Arthur plants at Garfield. "Milling operations were started in a limited way at the Arthur plant Tuesday and be built up to the economical capacity of that plant as rapidconsidered toly as all' conditions gether seem to justify, and In accordance with a general policy of production that will be prescribed from time to time by the executives of the company. "No more definite forecast of future plans can be given at this time than has already been outlined In Colonel Jack ling's statement." Five hundred and fifty men are on the payrolls of the Utah Copper company, officials said Tuesday. They are divided as follows: 170 men at the mines ; 80 on the B. A G., and 300 at the plants. Three shovels are at work at the mines, one making a grade change on P level and the other two loading ore. The Nevada Consolidated mine at OH MONT, WAT A McGill, MlNLlTE.
