Rompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Issued a state- ment ht explaining his 'version ot the demands of the striking coal miners and declaring; that thi miner had no alternative but to strike on November 1. The Injunction obtained by the Gov croment at Indianapolis was chara- cterized as \not only a grave wron tut a gross blunder.\ Aocording to Mr. Gompers It bars omeffs or. me United Mine Workers from attempting to end the strike.

A Statement by Gompers. The statement of Mr. Gompers was Usaed after his return from New Tork. It reads: \Representatives of newspapers have Hied me for a statement regarding the eon etrllce and the situation. \In the first instance It should be known that the demands of the miners, which upon the surface seem so radical and far reaching, are by no means so. For several years the miners have not kid more than a half year's work, their working days averaging from 160 to 180 cays i!r year. Intermittent, by days and by weeks employment and then unem- ployment. 'The miners simply ask for a regulat- ion of tlio working time so that coal production and employment may be .\trular rather than Intermittent. If the cilners were permitted by the operators to work full time the supply of coal thus 1.1.4 1.4 .am nr-- m ilnwn ttl. nrlP. of coal on the market and tnin me rperators are determined not to permit. \The miners' case might better be fated by their demanding at least live (.ays ol six hours work per week, which is really more than they are permitted to work at the present time. An under- standing ot these conditions clearly khoTvs who are responsible for the pres- ent situation and the cause. \When In 1914 the miners received sn Increase of twenty cents per ton, the operators raised the selling price nve tollars per ton. Surely, the conditions r.d the standards of life of the miners nave deteriorated by reason of there king no practical advance in their \tges and their earning power, while tit cost of living has soared higher and Winer.

Leirls, actinp; president of the United Mine Workers of America, stated ht that the miners would be willing to resume negotiations with the operators immediately if the restraining order now in force against them was vacated. Mr. Lewis's state- ment reads: If the injunction is vacated ' the miners will be willing im- mediately to meet the opera- tors in joint' conference to ne- gotiate a wage scale. Asked if miners would return to work prior to opening of ne- gotiations, Mr. Lewis said the miners' offer meant only \nego- tiations without reservations,\ and would add nothing to this declaration. Under the restraining order, as construed by the miners' officials, any statement as to continuation of the strike would be a violation of the restraining order issued in Federal court here against them last week. In view of this Mr. Lewis's statement is taken to mean that no move toward calling off the strike would be taken be- fore reopening negotiations. RAILWAYS TO BE RETURNED JAN. 1 Hinos's Announcement of Wil- son's Intention Smashes Senate Flan. RECESS IS NOT PROBABLE Cummins Is Determined That Congress Must Keep at Work on Measure. Bftcial Dstpatch to The Sea. Washington. Nov. 4. President \Wil son is determined to turn the railroads back to their owners January 1, 1920, even if Congress has not completed its programme of railroad legislation by that time. Walker D. Hlnes, Director-Gener- al of Railroads, Informed Sena tor Cummins (Iowa), chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Commit tee, Mr. Hlnes was so emphatic In speak- ing of the President's plans that Sena- tor Cummins has determined to call the committee or Thursday to consider a programme of temporary legislation that will tide the roods over until a comprehensive permanent measure can be agreed to by both houses. There is such wide variance already apparent between the Senate and House committees on Important points that it Is doubtful if the com- plete railroad bill can be passed by January 1. As a result of his conference with Mr. Hlnes, Senator Cummins has de- cided that Congress mint not take a re- cess between the special and the regular session. Ha plans to keep the Senate at work on the railroad bill as soon as ihe peace treaty is disposed of. The temporary legislation to bo pro- posed probably will deal mainly with i all road finances and rates, which will be the big problem Immediately upon the return of the roads. The questions of a new transportation board, adjustment of labor troubles, regulation of water carriers, the funding of the amount In vested by the Government In equipment and minor matters will be left lor the permanent legislation that will follow, The plan to continue the guaranteed re turn In some form undoubtedly will be considered In the temporary bill, so would the various proposals for extend ing credit to the railroads through Gov ernment loans or the sals of securities with governmental approval. Mr, Hlnes did not go Into details as to what Congress should do, but simply warned that the President Is determined there shall be no delay In returning tfie roads. He pointed out that plans have been agreed to with railroad executives for the return of the lines. but added that some temporary legisla tion is essential. PORTO EICO TO KEEP FOOD.

That the peace treaty with Germany will go Into effect about November 20 was foreshadowed by an announcement following meet- ing ot the Supremo Council that all plebiscite and delimitation commis- sions would meet here November 10 for organization purposes. The purpose of this is to have the commissions fully organized and pre pared to assume authority in their re- spective districts on the day the peace treaty becomes effective. The Com- missioners themselves will be on the ground that day In Silesia, Memel, Schleawlg and Teschen to' take over the authority of the Germans, and will be supported by troops of the Allies. French 1 Command. Only the ratifying Powers will be represented at the organization of these commissions on November 10, and the occupying forces will be Brit ish, French and Italian, unless by that time the United States has ratified and her reservations have been accepted. In which event America will partici- pate. The Supreme Council has decided for- mally that the forces of the Allies in Upper Silesia shall be commanded by a French General, when the people decide by ballot whether this Important mining district Is to belong to Poland or Ger- many. It Is understood that the council pre- fers an American to head the Teschen commission, where the claims of Poland and Czecho-Slovak- will he decided. Until ratification ot the treaty by the United States a Frenchman will be chairman of this commission. An Eng- lishman will be chairman for the Allen-stel- n district of Bast IVuasla and an Italian for the Marlenwerder district of Cast Prussia. 2VMd for Caution Been. The extent and character of the Amer- ican reservations remain the subject of the greatest Interest here because It has been conceded that before America cjin participate the other Powers must make clear their attitude toward whatever reservations are adopted. With the question In America so near a decision, diplomats here are maintaining a dis- creet silence on the subject, preferring to wait until they know what the stand of the United States actually Is. No better evidence could be had for the necessity of weariness by the United States In protecting Its own Interests In every paragraph of the covenant of the League ot Nations than Is supplied by the manoeuvres In the Rumanian-Hungaria- n situation. Here European diplo- macy is seen In full action. Yesterday's note to Rumania, for ex- ample. Is attributed again by several French newspapers close to tho Foreign Office to American, hostility and com- mercial greed, despite the fact, as the Americans pointed out to-d- that Ue was drawn up in we irencn n'oreign Office, and the decision to send It was approved by Foreign Minister Plchon in the council. Characteristic comment was that In the Journal this morning, which eays : \Rumania it seems, pays dearly for the crime ot refusing to comply with the exactions of the American petroleum trust\ Italians, Rumanians and many of the officials of French departments speak of the League ot Nations as an Anglo-Saxo- n affair, ngalnst which the Latins must be on their guard. This seems to explain some of the diplomacy going on both with respect to Rumania and to the Adrlatla question, PRESIDENT GETS RETURNS. Much Improved, He Hears Elec- tion Results. Washington, Nov. 4. President Wil- son's condition was so much Improved that election returns were given to him as they came In during the early part of the night. The President was especially Interested In the returns from his home Stats of New Jersey. BLACK'S DEFEAT IN KENTUCKY IS Democrat Snowed Under by Morrow Made Treaty. Campaign Issue. SOLID SOUTH IS BROKEN Prohibition Amendment Wins Overwhelmingly Even in Mountain Districts. Eptdal Dstpstcs to Tns Ecu. LouisviLin . Ky., Nov. 4. Edwin Porch Morrow was elected Governor of Kentucky to-d- by a majority that may reach 25.000. Certainly be no less than 15,000. He Is tho third Re- publican Governor of this State, Govs. Eradley and Wlllson being the only other Republicans to enjoy the honor. Mr. Morrow's opponent was Gov. James D. Black, who ascended to the rbfflce from the lp when Gov. Augustus Stanley was sent to the United States Senate. Mr. Morrow's election Is conceded to be a signal, defeat of the policies of the Wilson administration. Mr. Black ran on a straight Democratic platform which embraced the League of Nations as the President fetched It from Europe. Mr. Morrow's platform avoided reference to national matters except Insofar as a general advocacy of rigid American principles Is concerned. The victorious Republican candidate eschewed refer- ences to the prohibition amendment and virtually all International matters. He confined .himself to local and domestic problems and his success was conceded even by Democrats many days before his election: Mr. Morrow's victory marks the greatest Republican triumph this State has known. Inasmuch as he owes his election to the votes of many young men, who by all their traditions and training should be Democrats, but who refused to vote for Mr. Black and his sponsor. Senator Stanley. Mr. Morrow was defeated for the Gov- ernorship four years ago by Mr. Stan- ley, but the latter's majority only was 431 votes. Due to the Kentucky elec- tions law, which Mr. Morrow promises to change, Mr. Stanley's victory could not be contested br Mr. Morrow. Mr. Morrow's election Is looked upon as more than a purely local matter. j It Is recognised as n break In the erst while Bolldly Democratic Soutn and a forecast of other defections from Democ- racy In the South. Missouri promises to follow Kentucky's example. Arkansas Is expected to elect a few Republicans to office. Neither of those States goes to the polls until 1S20, however. The Republican platform on which Mr. Morrow ran advocates woman suffrage among oth'er things that have failed of Kentucky's recognition. And although Mr. Morrow avoided the prohibition Is- sue during his campaigning. It Is be- lieved that he will show himself opposed to the newest amendment to the Fed- eral Constitution. COL. ROOSEVELT HAS SWEEPING VICTORY His Joy Increased by Birth of Third Son. Lieut-Co- l. Theodore Roosevelt, Re- publican candidate for Assembly In the second district of Nassau County, was elected yesterday by the largest major- ity ever given to a candidate In that district. He carried practically every election district In the assembly district. Ellas Raff, the Democratic candidate, who Is a lawyer, a war veteraa and a son of a tailor, was swamped every- where, even losing his own district In Sea Cliff by 1SS votes. In his home village. Oyster Bay, Col, Roosevelt beat his opponent by an average of six to one. In one election district oaiy one vote out ot the first seventy-fiv- e counted was for Raff. Col, Roosevelt was greatly elated over his victory, especially because a third son was added to his family this afternoon and was named Quentlri. In speaking of his election he said: \It was a big day for my family, a fine boy, Mrs. Roosevelt doing well, and elected from home district to the Assembly. \It will be my earnest endeavor to J stand fearlessly for the principles of juauie uim urucr, ana uj am m mo buiu- - tlon of the vital problems ot economic readjustment with all that lies In me.\ Oyster Bay turned oat en masse last night and celebrated tho victory of Col. Roosevelt. Baads were played and bonfires were started In the streets. CHILI APPROVES LEAGUE. Reparations Commission to Dectde Abont Ships. Washikoton, Nov, 4.

COOLIDGE WINS INBAYSTATEBY 125,000 MARGIN Eepublican Ticket Trium- phant in Landslide for Law and Order. CLOSE RACE IN BOSTON Governor's Action in Dropping Police Strikers Upheld Blow to Radicalism. Epedal Dttpatct to Tus Bcs. Boston, . Nov. 4. Massachusetts ranged Itself overwhelmingly in sup- port of tto \law and order\ platform on which Gov. Calvin Coolldge, Repub- lican, sought reelection to-d- and swept him back Into office, together with 'the entire Republican State ticket At a late hour It was estimated that his majority over Richard II. Long, his Democratic opponent, would be ap- proximately 125,000. It was tho greatest political landslide the Bay State has known in many years. Gov. Ccolldge appealed directly lo the people to support organized Gov ernment. His triumph Is generally In- terpreted as a tremendous blow to m and radicalism in tho labor movement, not only In Massachusetts but throughout the country. Gov. Coolldge: was specifically attacked by Long for his uncompromising attitude 'owsrd the striking Boston policemen ast September and tho strike became at once the principal Issue In tho cam- paign. Tho voterB yesterday utterly repudiated the action of tho policemen la refusing to remain on duty when recognition of their union was with- held by the constituted authorities. The surprising strength developed by Gov. Coolldge was general through- out the State, even In the manufactur- ing cities, where Long believed that he would have his strongest support. Even In Boston, one of the Demo cratic strongholds of the country, Gov. Coolldge was close upoa the heels of his adversary as majorities go here. The nominal Democratic majority In the city Is 30,000, but Long made claims that he would carry It by 40,000. With only two of the 21S precincts missing, the count showed that Long had received 46,396 votes and that (JooUdge had 41,64 couated In his be- half, a majority for Long of slightly more than 5,000. It has been years since Boston has made such a strong Republican showing as this. Complete unofficial returns from the 1.193 precincts throughout the State gave Coolldge a total of 317,191 and Loag 193,291, a majority of 123,900, but the Coolldge supporters assert that the ma jority, on the corrected and official re turns, will go to 125,000 at least and per- haps 130,000. The vote was tho heavi- est cast In years In a, State election. The greatest blow to the Democrats was In their failure to carry the man- ufacturing cities. Because of Longs claim that he was championing the cause of labor It was felt generally that he would show pronounced strength In these centres. On the contrary, Coolldge practically carried all. Lynn was the only city ot Importance outside of Bos- ton which did not assist in the crushing ot the Democratic candidate. Even In Lynn Long's majority was only a few hundred out of almost 20,000 votes cast there. Long admitted his defeat \by 160,000\ even before the polls were cloned In come of the cities, where he expected the strongest support. The early returns showed a tremendous falling oft In the Democratic vote. In comparison with last year, and corresponding gains by Gov. Coolldge. Longs admission ot de- feat came after returns were received from the mill city of New Bedford. His loss of strength among the workers was heavy. The Republican ticket which was elected to-d- was as .follows: Governor, Calvin Coolldge (reelected), Lieutenant-Governo- r, Channlng II. Cox (reelected). Secretary ot State, Albert P, Langtry (reelected). Treasurer, Fred J. Burrell. Auditor, Alonzo B. Cook (reelected), Attorney-Genera- l, J. Weston Allen. The striking policemen 'and telephone girls were Long's strongest supporters. During the campaign the policemen toured the State In automobiles and attacked the Governor bitterly for discharging them, asserting that his action was \a blow at organized labor.\ Notwithstand- ing the rebuke which the voters admin- istered to the principles he advanced Long said that he \believed In them thorouhgly\ and thnt. If he ever ran for office again he would not change his. platform. Ststement br Coolldge, Late ht Gov. Coolldge Issued a statement In, which he said: \Thanks are due the millions of people In Massachusetts. I give them freely, without undertaking to specify all who have supported the great cause of the supremacy ot law. The heart of the peo- - Conttnutd on Second Pagt. JIART8HORNE, TALES CO.. Membura N.

RIGID ENFORCEMENT WINS Reports Indicate Cities \Went Wet Cleveland Mayor Is Reelected. BfecUl Detpatch to Tax Sen Cixvsland, Nov. 4. Ohio votod again y to remain dry, giving the four prohibition amendments which went before the people a majority of ap- proximately 75,000; or three times as large as the majority by which the State entered the prohibition column. The four amendments were ratifica- tion of the action of the Legislature In cotlng for the constitutional prohibi- tion amendment, repeal of the State prohlbltloln law adopted last year by a referendum, defining beveragos con- taining not more than 2.7S per cent, ot alcohol by weight as and providing enforcement measures for the State prohibition law. The State enforcement law author- izes rigid enforcement measures and Its defeat was expected. Reports from the State generally indicated that the cities had voted wet on the amend- ments; the country districts dry. The returns came in slowly because of the many municipal elections. The dis- trict boards counted the votes- - that determined the local campaigns first. It was found that the voters were consistent as either wet or dry on all four propositions. The estimate of a majority of 76,000 for the prohibition amendments was made at Columbus late by Sec- retary of State Smith, who asserted that the drys made general gains throughout the State, although In some of tho larger cities the wets had mustered more votes than they did when Ohio \was made dry. The chief wet gains were In Cleve- land, Toungstown, Springfield and some ot the manufacturing cities, but the drys swept the rural sections clean and also added to their count of a year ago In Cincinnati and In Columbus. The State went dry only six months ago and the drys consequently were elated by the victory at the polls to- day. When tho early returns came In the drys refrained from a statement and 'he wets were optimistic, but the Into returns changed the entire aspect. The constitutional amendment provld-'n- g for the classification of property nlso was defeated by a heavy majority. Friends of the opposition admitted that It had no poslble chance of ratification and early gave up hope. MAYOR WATT'S VOTE REDUCED IN ALBANY Large Majorities for Rest of Republican Tichet. Special DffOeh Is Tns Sex. Albakt. Nov. 4. Mayor James R. A'att, Republican, was reelected y after the hardest fight that has been waged here In many years. Indica- tions are that the plurality for Watt will be under 3,000, which Indicates that his opponent, Capt. Reynolds King Townsend. a returned soldier, was able to cut Into the ordinary Republican strength by 12,000 votes. Two years ago Watt was elected by nearly 12,000 plurality and this year 10,000 more votes were polled. Town-sen- d carried several Republican wards. Others on the Republican city and iounty tickets went through by larger majorities. Clarence Welsh, Assemblyman from the First Albany District, who was furred down for renomlnatlon this year, ran Independently and received only a few hundred votes, the regular Republi- can candidate, Edgar C.

Wins Seven of Nino State Senate Seats and 31 in Assembly. The returns from Now Jersey at an early hour this morning Indicated tho election of Edward I. Edwards as Governor over his Republican oppo- nent, Newton A. K. Bugbee, State Comptroller. However, the Republi- cans still claim a victory for Bugbee, although the figures seemingly showed a plurality of 6,000 for Edwards. At 1 o'clock 1,511 districts out of 2,011 in the State gave Bugbeo 149,930 and Edwards 144,803. The swing was then going to Edwards, the previous 3,000 votes showing a loss of 30 per district for Bugbee, with about one-ha- lf of tho votes In Hudson county, Jersey's Gibraltar of democracy, still to bo heard from. At that hour Hud- son county was looming up with a possible Democratic plurality of '27,000, with Essex, a Republican county, trail- ing' along with an Edwards i plurality of 7,000 pr 8,000. The twisting of things political In New Jersey was due, politicians In both par. ties agreed, to the prohibition Issue, which popped up In the campaign at an early stage. Opposition to the Eigh teenth Federal amendment became high- ly popular, especially In the larger cities of the State, notably Trenton, the Re- publican home town of Bugbee ; Newark, where lives James R. Nugent, whom Ed- wards defeated for the Gubernatorial nomination, and Jersey City, the very wet home town of Edwards. The Republicans elected seven of nine members of the State Senate and prob- ably thirty-tw- o members of the House of Assembly, the Democrats getting twenty-eig- ht members. This Is a gain of two seats. A full delegation of sixty Assembly- men are chosen by the voters annually. The Republicans control both bodies of the Legislature. Prohibition became the dominant Issue In the closing days of the campaign. Mr. Edwards, who Is a teetotaler, was from start to finish for a \wet\ State. i He declared from the public platform that he would use the legal machinery of the State to mako New Jersey \as wet as the Atlantic Ocean.\ Mr. Bugbee took the position that prohibition already Is a part of the Federal constitution and that a Governor didn't have a single thing to say about It except to give or- ders to enforce the law of the land as he found It.

Stinging Defeat Is Given t Tammany and Also to Wilson Policies. BIG IEISH DEFECTION Wigwam Desperation Is Shown by Order to Safe- guard Ballot Boxes. IT EXPECTS A RECOUNT Newburger Leads in Judiciary Race and Untcrmyor Is Poor Tailcndcr. The Democratic party met a stinging defeat yesterday. Representative F. II. La Guardla, the Republican candidate for Presi- dent of the Board of Alderfaen, de- feated President Robert lJ?$Moran, the Tammnny candidate for reelec- tion, by n narrow margin. With only thirty-thre- e election dis- tricts missing out of a total of 2,567 Ln Guardla was leading by about 1,102. Moran headquarters at an early hour this morning acknowledged that the figures they had indicated Mb do-fe- by 000. They sold a recount would be demanded without doubt. Police Commissioner Enrlght sent word to every police station ordering that the ballot boxes be guarded with .the greatest care. Samuel S. Koenlg, Republican leader in Manhattan, suggested to the leaders of the other counties that the boxes be watched by Republican workers. The Democrntic plurality ln the city for Gor. Alfred E. Smith last year was 270,000. nebnke to Democratic Furty. t ... ... I it was cieur innt me voters casi their ballots as they had been talking and that the tremendous change ln the political complexion! of the city In a year was due In no small measure . to the unpopularity of the Wilson Ad- ministration ln Washington. The voters wished to rebuke the Demo- cratic party and they did so deci- sively. Irwin Untermyer and Justice Robert L. Luce, tho Tammany candidates for the Supreme Court, First district, were defeated. Judge Joseph E. Newburger, who was turned down by tho \Boss and Philip J. McCook, the Republican candidates, wtre elected. Untermyer was a poor fourth ln the race. He was beaten by Justice New- burger by about 80,000 votes. Now-burg- or ran about 57,000 votes ahead of Luce and McCook defeated Luce by about 30,000. Henry II. Curran, Republican, was elected President of the Borough ot Manhattan over Edward F. Boyle, Tammany candidate and chairman of its general committee, by about 6,000 votes. The Republicans captured two of the three City Court Justiceships. Richard H. Smith, who was also turned down for renomlnatlon, as waa Justice Newburger, ran first. He was followed by Davis. The one Tammany man elected to the City Court waa Louis Wendel. Joseph M. Callahan of The Bronx, whose election was sup- posed to be sure ran fourth. The other Tammany man defeated was Thomas T. Rellly. Foley Saved 1'rnni Wreclt, The only other office that \Boss\ Mur- phy saed out of the wreck was that ef Surrogate. James A. Foley, his son-in- -' law and former State Senator, had a plurality of some 23,000 over James O'Malley, his Republican opponent This victory was largely personal and did little to take away the sting of hte Tammany rout.
