An- derson In tho United States District Court here y ngulnst tho leaders of tho United, 31 lno \Workers of Amer- ica who had been enjoined by Judge Anderson from any action to promote the strike of coal miners and had been commanded to cancel tho strike order. The Information, which names-amon- others Frank J. Hays, John L. Lewis and William Green,, respectively presi- dent, acting president and secretory of tns mlno workers, charges them with \jointly severally, knowingly and wil- fully Ignoring, violating and disobey- ing tho temporary restraining order\ and that they are now Ignoring It. Judgo Anderson fixed the ball In each case at $10,000 and a hearing on the Information was set for next Tues- day morning.

The Government charges further that instead of advising the men to re- turn to work the union leaders con- spired to contlnuo tho strlko and through statements to the newspapers let the miners know that they were not In favor of ending the trouble. FecretTv Green of tho union, In com menting upon the filing of the contempt proceedings, declared that \while this action was not unexpected, It Is unjus- tifiable and la another evidence of a mistake on tho part of the Government.\ Lewis \Wants 31 P.

Increase in wages recom- mended by William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor, but that they wold not go back for the U per cent. Increase recom- mended by Dr. Harry A. Garfield, Fed- eral Fuel Administrator. \The miners hold that the Govern- ment canot break I'.' word,\ said Mr. Lewis.' \They yet believe that tho Gov- ernment Will redeem its promise.\ District Attorney Slmms, who Is in charge of the enforcement of the In- junction, said this afternoon that the proceedings against Lewis and tho other miners' leaders named In the Informa- tion would be pushed and that removal proceedings to obtain the appearance In court here of officers who reside outside of Indiana would bo begun at once. He also announced that he would shortly begin proceedings against officers of two local unions In Clinton, Ind., for alleged violation of the Injunction by payments of strike benefits to miners. 'The officials of Local 2,011,\ he said, -- t.lrt benefits by check, trying to dis- guise the real nature of the nctlon by stating that they wero for overpayment tit cuts.

The Injunction ex- tends to any person, whether a miner or hot, who In any way encourages the strike, and the bank which honored checks drawn against strike benefit funds are liable to prosecution.\ Mr. Slmms also said that tho citations against the men named to-d- were only a start In the prosecutions- ngalnst al- leged violators of the Injunction and that the action might be expected soon.

If a miner knows of the Injunction and the subse-- auent order of tho union officials re rclndlng the strike order, constitutes violation of tho Injunction, and the Gov ernment wll proceed on this theory, re gardless of whether officers aro guilty of soma specific act of encouragement of the strike. \The Government waited patiently while the conference was going on in Washington, hoping that somo plan for averting tho impending dlastcr conse- quent on the shortage of fuel would be evolved.

TOTAL T0W $322,985,000 Latest Shipments Go to Coun- tries Having Favorahlo 'Balanco of Trade. Hptrtnl fl'tpntfh to Tnr Srv Washington, Dec. 3. Gold exports from tho United States for the month of November approximate $67,000,000, bringing tho total amount since the war embargo was lifted last Juneto $322,985,000. Against tho export fig- ures for November there is on offset in Imports of less than $11,000,000, making a net loss In the hugo gold reserve piled up hero during the war of $56,000,000. Practically all of the gold exported went to tho Orient, a destination from which officials say It probably never will return. Tho bulk of the exports went to Japan, a good sharo to- India and some to China. All of tho oxi ports wero from San Francisco and tho entire quantity found its way to countries that havo a balance of trade against tho United States. Imports nil camo In on the Eastern seaboard and wero from allied coun- tries, principally Great Britain. In all theso nations tho Unltod Staten has a favorable balanco of trade and tho dol lar Is at a premium on exchange. Officials here tako the view that the course of the gold movement Is a nat- ural, one though there are many who believe that tho real need of the nation Is relinquishment to debtor nations that they may be kept In position to do busi- ness with us and meet their obligations. When the European war ended the United States held most of the entire world supply of gold and a slow dis tribution of tho metal Is looked 'for. This will operate. It Is expected, to main tain the gold standard among tho na- tions UBlng 1L It will likewise tend to decrease, the clamor In some quarters for a nremlum for gold production in this country to meet the fall' In relative value of tho metal. Slnco the ombargo on gold was lifted the trend has been all one way. Japan has been reaching out for tho metal and is getting it In settlement pf an un- favorable 'trado balance. Europe has continued to send a relatively small quantity to this country In settlements. Figures on the mommy export oi goia since the embargo was lifted follow: Juno, $82,973,000; July, $54,673,000; August, $45,189,000; September, 0: October. 444,100,000; Novem ber, $67,000,000; total, $322,985,000.

FOE JtOOSEVELT PLAN Assures New Voters They Will Have Equal Voice in Councils. Eighteen hundred men and women tilled every nook and cranny of the great ballroom at the Hotel Astor last night to do honor to AVI11 II. Hays, chairman of tho Republican National Committee, and to Mrs. John Glover South, chairman of tho women's di- vision of that committee. They wero guests at a dinner to them under the auspices of the Repub- lican Women's Executive Commltteo of tho State. This great outpouring of .Republi- cans, coming from every section of tho State, roared with approval as Chair- man Hays called thorn to arms for 1920. Outlining what the party should stand for, he declared that It was sim- ply a matter of a Roosevelt square deal \exact Justice for labor, exact Justlco for capital and exact Justice for tho public.\ They renewed their applause when ho added that tho third sido of that trlanglo must not bo lost sight of. Again the diners roso to enthusiasm when tho 'chairman declared that wo would not forget that while we fought In Franco to make certain the, right of freo government In tho world, wo havo a republic to prcsorvo hero, \4 repre- sentative Government and not ft Bol- shevik syncopation.\ Tho women Wero particularly inter- ested when the chairman said that they wero to bo a part of tho Republi- can party wero not 6lmply to 1 an annex. Telia of Work by Women. Mrs. South, who comes from Ken- tucky, oko of tho work that had been done In organising the women through- out tho country. It waa with particular fervor that the Republicans greeted Lleut.-Co- L Roose- velt, who reminded them In every ges- ture and movement of his face of his father. Tho prominence \of his teeth and the half shutting of the eyes when he smiled led to a murmer of wonder at the strik- ing way in which he was developing tho traits that were so distinctive to the Colonel. Herbert Parsons, member\ of the na- tional committee from New York State, referred to the guest of honor as a \hujnan dynamo.\ He declared that tho recent victory of the party in the local election was due In no small measure to the work of the women. MUs Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the executive committee of the women's division, said that Col. Roosevelt had always been her guide In politics. \Let us stand for what wo think Is right she said. \The Republi- can party always has stood for what was best In tho past and wo know that It will continue to do so.\ Mrs. Harriet T. Upton, daughter of former Congressman Taylor of Ohio and who Is known as the \Simeon Ford of Ohio,\ sent the diners Into convulsions of laughter when she described how when a little girl, before Will Hays was born, she had assisted her father In making up poll books. Chairman George A. Glynn of the State committee told of the work of or- ganizing the women In New York State, and Miss Julia Arthur thrilled the diners with a recitation of the \Battle Hymn of tho Republic\ each verso of which was sung In turn by the audience to the accompaniment of the big organ. United States Senator James W. Wads-nort- h, Jr., who Is opposed for rcnomina-tlo- n by some of the women In the State, had been expected. He sent a telegram saying he had been detained In Washing- ton by a meeting of tho Senato Commlt- teo on Military Affairs. Senator William M. Catder was present, and such of the members of the Houso of Representa- tives from this Stato as could get away from their legislative duties. There was not the slightest reference by any of the speakers to the feeling on the part of some women against Senator Wadsworth. Replying to somo published criticism that he had not been Invited to speak, Mrs. Arthur L. Llvermoro, chairman of the Women's Executive, Commltteo, who presided, said that only thoso had been asked to speak upon whom dovolvcd tho responsibilities of the organization. She said that perhaps no State chairman here had ever been con- fronted with the perplexing problems that Mr. Glynn'faced. \The Republican party,\ Mr. Hays said, \stood during tho war, first, for tho uso of every possible means to win the war; second, for a peace with vic- tory only, and third, for a sane prepara- tion for the solution of the problems of peace.

DENY SOAPA FLOW BLAME Supreme Council Sends Ulti-- . matum to Rumania Must Answer by Dec. (I. \fly le Associated rress. Pahis, Dec. 3. Germany is willing to sign tho protocol putting tho peaco treaty into effect tho moment certain clauses objectionablo the pro- tocol aro eliminated, Uaron Kurt von Lersner, head of tho German delega- tion here, told tho Associated Press this afternoon. When the German plenipotentiary was shown the statement given out this morning that on Monday ho had Informed Paul Dutasta, secretary of the Peaco Conference, that' Germany had decided not to sign the protocol, Baron von Lersner said: \I havo full powers to sign tho pro- tocol and am ready to sign it at any moment when tho question of Scapa Flow is eliminated and referred to Tho, Haguo, and when there also are elimi- nated tho paragraph relating to the evacuation of Lithuania, which we consider already settled and final, and tho paragraph which would permit the Invasion of our country by armed forces In times of peaco on any trivial pretext\ Corrects Wrong Impression. Baron von Lersner 'pointed out that this waa tho-Ers- t time he had received a newsnaDcr correspondent hero. He said he Was consenting to talk In this instance only beeauss he thought that an erroneous Impression was being cre- ated by a misinterpretation of Ger- many's Intentions. \Wo have represented to the Supreme Council,\ he continued, \what we con- sider ample proofs that tho German Government is not responsible for the sinking of the ships at Scapa Flow; and yet in order not to delay tho final con- clusion of peace we will submit the matter to Tho Haguo Tribunal.\ Tho German plenipotentiary pointed out that tho paragraphs of tho protocol to which his Government objected were additions to the protocol as provided for In the peace treaty. While It was not true, he said, that Germany was seek- ing to profit from any circumstances to delay making the peaco effective, she did not consider It possible to sign tho ad- ditional clauses to the protocol uncon- ditionally. Ilrnaon for Failure to Men. The report to which tho head of the German delegation referred said that Baron von Lersner called on Secretary Dutasta of tho conference on Monday and told him that Germany had decided not to sign tho protocol presented to her by tho AMies as a condition for putting Uio peace treaty Into effect. The attitude, the report said, Is taken as confirming the reports of a sharp re action In Germany within the last fort night. Trained observers of German de velopments havo expressed to members of the Peace Conference the view that there has been a complete transformation of the situation In Germany brought about, in their opinion, by tho failure of the United States Senate to ratify tho peaco treaty. These observers declare .that whlla the vast majority of tho Germans, bofore tho Senate's adjournment, desired the peaco treaty ratified as soon as possible, they aro now supporting tho Govern ment's attitude In resisting the demands of the Allies for Indemnity for tho sink inc of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, recompense for which was provided for In tho urolocol. The question upon which the German representatives hero, however, appear most sensitive, is the insistence upon tho trial of German officers accused of the commission of crimes In France and Belgium. The Supremo Council to-d- ad dressed a note to Germany protesting against the Increase of Gormany'a arma- ment contrary to the provisions of the peace treaty. Ultimatum Sent t IluinU. Tho council decided to-d- to extend the time allowed Rumania In which to remit a reply to the latest allied noto by six days. This will glvo Rumania until December 9 to answer the council's noto, which fixed December 2 as the original time limit for a response. An official note of explanation regard- ing the delay, after reviewing tho history of tho relations with Rumania, says: \All these patient efforts resulted In an attitude conciliatory In words only, but negative In deeds.\ The council decided on November 15 tb make a last appeal, as the time limit for Rumania's answer expired December 2. \The Rumanian reply, however,\ the note says, \was not In conformity with that expected by the Supreme Council. \If tho Supreme Council had Inilsted upon Its formal notification,\ the note continues, \it would have, in view of tho indefinite reply received from Bucharest, severed relations with Ru- mania, since, desplto repeated requests.

In view of tho German Government's denial of sponslblUty for tho sinking of German warships in tho Scapa Flow tho British Admiralty pub- lished a numbor of documents, Includ- ing all the secret instructions of the German Admiral von Router to his of- ficers on the preparations for and the method of scuttling of vessols when- ever the signal to do so was given from his ship,\ tho Emden, hs .Inten- tion being to. send. tho. vejwelaif) the bottom should tho British attempt' lo seize them without tho consent of tho German Government.

This letter discusses nt considerable length the negotiations then proceeding at Paris regarding the fate of tho Ger- man ships. It gives no actual instru-lion- for tho scuttling of tho vessels, though one sentence runs: \Their sur- render to the enemy remains out of the question.\ The British Admiralty docs not claim this as proof that tho German Govern- ment ordered the scuttling of tho war- ships but It claims that the letter proves the German Government was able to communicate with Von Ileuter. Moreover, It says, opportunities wero available for such communication, not- ably In the arrival of two German trans- ports, tho Bardenla and tho Schlcswlg, on June 17, bringing provisions for the German ships and taking away the sur- plus crews. \Indeed.\ esvs the Admiralty, \June 17 vwas the date of Von Router's secret orders to nis omccrs concerning the projected scuttling.\ GENERAL STRIKE IN ITALY DECLARED OFF Socialist Deputy Announces Agreement of Leaders.

The serious disorders In Milan Tues- day are believed to havo been due large- ly to rumors In circulation there that two Socialist Deputies had been lynched In Rome. Slgnor Rlposst, Maximalist member of the Socialist executives, ad- dressed a great mass meeting In Cathe- dral Square In Milan with such violence of language that the crowd began at- tacks upon the soldiers. The uniforms and Insignia- of rank were torn from officers by persons acting under the leadership of anarchists, who wero espe- cially active during the disorder. Two civilians and ono carabineer were killed. An' he was dying the carabineer said: \I hate to die by tho hand of an Italian.\ Crowds surrounded the cnrablneors and stoned them until the carabineers were forced to fire upon the people In order to effect their escape. Major Lulgl Allochlo was fatally wounded and many other officers were Injured. The clash In Rome Tuesday night which resulted In the death of one civilian took place when a crowd was on Its way to the station to endeavor to persuade the rallwaymen to strike.
