The vote in the committee was 8 to 1, A minority report presented by ' Representative Rodenburg of Illinois, Republican, held that no action should be taken pendihg a decision by the . „ United States circuit court of appeals, which now has under advisement the ;i appeal from tb£ verdict of the United States district court at Chicago, holdin;; Berger guilty of violations of the ' espionage act. The majority report was signed by Representatives Dalllnger of Massachusetts, chairman: Rose of Pennsylvania. Lnhring of Indiana, Randall of . Wisconsin, and Cole of Ohio, Republicans; Eagle of Texas. Robinson of North Carolina, and Wefty of Ohio, Democrats. A separate report from the same members In their capacity as elections committee No. 1 of the house, which passed on the contest filed by Joseph J. Carney, defeated "Democratic candidate against Mr. Berger. held that Mr. Carney had no rights in the case and that expulsion of the Socialist would leave the seat vacant. In reviewing the writings of the Socialist representative-elect, the majority report says: "After a careful consideration of all the evidence, in the opinion of your ' committee the admitted acts and writings and declarations of Victor L. Berger and of the men with whom he was associated In the management and control of the Socialist party from the time of the entrance of thts counfVy into the war until their indictment by a federal grand jury, giving their language its ordinary, every- ' day meaning and without considering any other evidence, clearly establishes a conscious, deliberate, and continuing purpose and intent to obstruct, hinder, and embarrass the government of the United States in Its prosecution of the war and thus to give aid and comfort to the enemies of our country. "The writings and activities of Mr! Berger and his associates could have had no other purpose. That Victor L. Berger was disloyal to the United States of America, and did give aid and comfort to its enemies at a time when its existence as a free and in dependent nation was at stake, there cannot be the slightest doubt." The report declared that the fact that Mr. Berger is a Socialist did not enter into the question. "The only question of fact at Issue in this case," the report continued, "is whether or not Victor L; Berger was disloyal to the United States of America during the war between this country and the Imperial German govern •sent, and gave aid or comfort to Its enemies."

PRESIDENT'S APPEAL MS BARLEYCORN IN LAST STAND Number of Distillers Attack Constitutionality of War Dry Act in Kentucky. Chicago, Oct. 27.--With Its back against the wall "demon rum" stages what is believed to be its last fight for existence this week, when the Ken tucky Distilleries and Warehouse company attacks the constitutionality of the wartime prohibition act in the United States District court at «Louisvllle, Ky.

John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers, Says Strike Order Stands-- Coal Operators Ae» cept Arbitration Offer. Washington, Oct. 27. -- Efforts of Secretary Wilson, to avert a strike of coal miners in the central competitive fields failed, the miners rejecting a proposal from President Wilson that the controversies be arbitrated. The operators previously had accepted the president's proposal. After the rejection by the miners the conference of the two scale committees here whs. adjourned .with every prospect that the strike would oeciir November 1, as called. --* John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, announced that the strike order stood and that half a million soft coal miners would quit work November 1. Official notice that mediation efforts had failed will be sent at onc^ to all districts, he stated. 'The operators accepted the' p^esi ident's offer in toto," Thomas T. Brewster, head of the Coal Operators* association said. The president's appeal tovthe miners read : "I have-4wm-'watching- with deep and sincere interest your efforts to bring about Just settlement of the differences between the operators and the coal miners in the bitbiulnmis coal fields of the country. "It is to be hoped that the good judgment that has been exercised by both operators and miners in years gone by in the adjustment of, their differences will again prevaiHn the present crisis. 'All organized society is depending upon the maintenance of the fuel supply for the continuance of its existence. The government has appealed with success to other classes of workers to postpone similar questions until a reasonable adjustment could be arrived at. "With the parties of the contror versy rests the responsibility of seeing that the fuel supply of the nation is maintained. At tfils time, when the world is in need of more supplies, it would be cruel neglect of our high duty to humanity to fail them. 'I have read with interest the suggestion made by you that the wage scale committees of the operators and miners go into conference without reservation for the purpose of negotiating an agreement as though no demands had been made or rejected, having due regard to the interests of their respective groups. I am In accord with that suggestion. "No body of men knows better the details, intricacies and technicalities of mining than do the miners and operators. No body of men can work out th^ details of the wage scale on a more equitable basis.' Their judgment would undoubtedly be based upon a sum total of knowledge of the industry. "Whatever their differences, may be, no matter how widely divergent their viewpoints may be from each other, it^ls a duty which they, owe society to make an earnest effort to negotiate those differences and to keep the mines of our country In operation. 'After all, the public Interest in this vital matter is the paramount consideration of the government and admits of no other action"than that of consideration of a peaceful settlement of the matter as suggested by you. 'If for any reason the miners and operators fail to come to a mutual understanding the interests 'of the public are of such vital importance in connection with the production of coal that It Is incumbent upon them to refer the matter In dispute to a board of arbitration for determination and to continue the operation of the mines nending the decision of the board." •THE NI8HTMARE , AmftM iAikv NIWI, IAB0R QUITS PARLEY!

Chairman Baruch asserted that in his opinion, as a result of the conference, "there will be manifested an Increasing effort on the part of employers to see that not alone proper wages are paid but that the human rights of the Workers,are considered." The public group In Its report emphasized that the rfgtit of collective bargaining--the rock on which the conference was wrecked--was neither rejected by the conference nor opposed by any single group. The difficulty over that issue, the report points out, arose alone over the method of making collective bargaining effective.

DRY MEASURE •louse Repasses the Measure Over the President Veto 176--55.!, - . -i Executive Declares Object of Legislation Served by Demobilization of Army--Against Changing of Public" Customs Except by Amendment. Washington, Oct. 29.--The president vetoed the prohibition enforcement bill. At 5:15 o'clock with the time of adjournment near the president's veto message was read to the bouse. Barely two hours later the house in a ly»ld-over session voted decisively to override the veto. The vote was 176 to 55 with two members voting present. Action in the senate will come later in the week. There Is no question but that its vote to override the veto will be equally as decisive, so the president's action will have served merely to stay the enforcement of the bill temporarily. The president's veto message follows : • "To the House of Representatives: "I am returning without my slgnnr ture P. R. 6810, 'an act to prohibit intoxicating beverages, and to regulate the manufacture, production, use and sale of high-proof spirits for other than beverage purposes, and to Insure an ample supply of .alcohol and promote Its use In scientific research and In the development -of-fuel, (lye and other lawful industries.' "The subject matter treated in this measure deals with two distinct phases of the prohibition legislation. One part of the act under consideration seeks to enforce war-time prohibition. The other provides for the enforcement which was made necessary by the adoption of the constitutional amendment. I object to and cannot approve that part of this legislation with reference to war-time prohibition. " "It has to do w-lth the enforcement of an act which was passed by reason of the emergencies of the war. and whose objects have been satisfied with the demobilization of the army and navy and whose repeal I have already sought at the hurfds of congress. Where the purposes of particular legislation arising out of war emergency have been satisfied, sound public policy makes clear the reason and necessity for repeal. "It will not be difficult for congress. In considering this important matter, to separate these two questions and effectively to legislate regarding them, making the proper distinction between temporary causes which, arose out of war-time emergencies and those like the constitutional amendment of prohibition. which Is now part of the fundamental law of the country. "In all matters having to do with the personal habits and customs of large numbers of our people, we must be certain that the established processes of legal change are followed. In no other way can the salutary object sought to be accomplished be made satisfactory and permanent. "WOODROW WILSON. The White House, Oct. 27, 1019."

TO BROADEN WELFARE WORK Plan to Assist Peoples in Eastern Europe; Campaign to Increase Mem- , J^rship Opens November 2d, ^ Closing .November 11th. 1#iMShington, D. C.--In a message prepared before his present illnefts President Wilson makes au appeal for a generous response to the Third Red Cross Roll Call. The president's mes-' sage reads aa follows: As president of the United States and as president of the American Red Cross I recommend and urge a generous response to the Third Red Cross Roll Call, which opens on November the second with the observance of Red Cross Sunday and appropriately closes on Nbvember the eleventh, the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. Twenty million adults joined the Red CroSs during the ,war, "prompted by a patriotic desire to render service to their country and to the cause for which the United States was engaged in war. Our patriotism should stand the test of peace as well as the test of war, and it Is an ^intelligently patriotic program which the Rod Cross proposes, a continuance of service to our soldiers »and sailors, who look to it for many things, and a transference to the problems of peace at home of the experience and methods which It inquired during the war. Stress on Membership. It la on membership more thaa money contributions that the stress et the present campaign Is laid, for the Red Cross seeks to associate the people In welfare work throughout the land, especially In those communitlaN where neither official nor unofficial provision has been made for adequate public health and social service. It is In the spirit of democracy that the people should undertake their own welfare activities, and the National Red Cross wisely intends to exert upon community action a stimulating and co-ordinating influence and to placf the energies of the organization be» hind all sound public health and wel* fare agencies. The American Red Cross does not purpose Indefinite prolongation of Its relief work abroad, a policy which would lay an unjust burden upon our own people and tend to undermine the self-reliance of the peoples relieved, but there is a necessary work of completion to be performed before the American Red Cross can honorably withdraw from Europe. The congress of the United States has Imposed upon the Red Cross a continuing responsibility abroad by authorizing the secretary of war to transfer to the American Red Cross such surplus army medical supplies and supplementary and dietary foodstuffs now In Europe as shall not be required by the,army, t« he used by the Red Cross to relieve the distress which continues in certain countries of Europe as a result of the war. Program Deserves Support. To finance these operations, to conclude work which was begun during the war, and to carry out some comparatively inexpensive constructive plans for assisting peoples in eastern Europe to develop their own welfare organizations, the American Red Cross requires, in addition to membership fees, a sum of money small In comparison with the gifts poured ir^o Its treasury by our generous people during the war. Both the greater enduring domestic program and the lesser temporary foreign program of the Red Cross deserve enthusiastic support, and I venture to hope that Its peace-time membership jEilJ exceed rather than fall below tta Impressive war membership.
