MINING HELPS
IN RETUBJ 10
NORMAL ST'TUS
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 21.—What •
is described us a form of indus
trial seil'-government will be con
sidered at the twenty-fifth annual
convention of the American Mining
Congress here October 9 to 14, ac
cording to W. J. Loritig, president
of the Congress.
"A vital problem in obtaining low
er costs in production and distribu
tion," said Mr. Loiing, "is the de
velopment of a national policy which
will tend to do away with the need
less friction and unending strife
between labor and capitul. Perhaps
the most important discussion of
the convention will be the consider
ation of the methods in this country
which have been adopted by some |
of the largest mining enterprises in
this country and wnich have result
ed in a form of industrial self-gov
ernment, thereby, giving to the em
ployes a direct participation in the
consideration of the problems of the
developing of profitable production."
The reported success of these ex
periments, according to executives of
the Congress, "leads to the belief
that under certain conditions It
might be possible to inaugurate a'
policy for the mining industry
which would be of advantage In en
abling both labor and capital to prof
it by increased production."
The executives said they expected
an expression at the convention of
opposition to an alleged Increase of
I "government paternalism."
Government and states exhibits of
mineral resources are planned in
connection with the convention. The
Republic of Mexico will participate,
as formerly, in the exposition, and
will display a collection of minerals
representing each of the important
mining states in Mexico.
BRITAIN REFUSES 10
WITHDRAW HER TROOPS
I
Paris, Sept. 23.—Premier Lloyd
George's move against the Turks is
regarded in France as having a mo
tive other than merely the neutrali
zation of the Dardenelles. It is the
feeling in French circles that the
British are planniug to seize the Dar
denelles for Britain alone, in order
to create another Gibraltar on Bos
phorus. This is in keeping with the
century-old dream of England to bot
tle up the Black Sea. The withdraw
ing of the French and Italian con
tingents from Chanak has played di
rectly Into the hands of Britain's
Premier in this particular.
But the official statement from
London and the British government
is a refutation of this suspicion on
the part of the French. The govern
ment's view on the Dardenelles sit
uation as issued is that the Straits
must be neutralized and kept open
for all the countries of the world
under the League of Nations or some
other effective International organi
zation.
Paris, Sept. 22.—Great Britain
stands firm in her determination to
keep her troops in Chanak, even
tho by so doing, she is causing her
Ally France to grow restive and be
:ome offended. The government re
fused categorically to withdraw her
troops from this section, and has so
Informed the French government,!
which has resulted In a strained re
lation between the Allied powers. I
Paris, Sept. 22.—The situation in
the Near East seemed a little more
hopeful, at least from the viewpoint
of the Allies unity. At the resump
tion of the conference today between
Lord Curzon and Poincaire were in
practical agreement. Disturbing
reports continue to come from
Constantinople and it is reported
that the Turkish Nationalists are on
the point of issuing an ultimatum to
the Allies demanding the evacuation
uf Thrace within forty-eight hours.
Malta, Sept. 23.—The British are
sending further military detach
ments for the reenforcement of the
British forces in the Dardenellos.
Preparations are gling on and the
reinforcements are expected to leave
soon for Constantinople.
Athens, Sept. 22.—Greece will nev
er permit the Tjirks to again invade
Thrace. She considers this a part of
her homeland and the retention of
which is "an essential preliminary
condition to any peace conference."
This was the announcemet from the
Foreign office today.
London, Sept. 23.—A Reuter das
patch from Adana says that it is re
ported in that city from Angora, the
seat of the Turkish government that
General Vlachapoulos, ttecommand
er of th« Greek troops operating
against Kemal Pasha has been cap
tured in Asia Minor.
Constantinople, Sept 23.—Heavy
concentration of troops under the di
rect command of Mustapha Kemal
Pasha is being carried on at Ismid.
This latter place is just east of the
Bosphorus beyond Scutari, and With
in artillery range of the British out
posts.
Constantinople, Sept. 23.—Turkish
airplanes have appeared off the
Greek islands of Chios and Mytllone
near the coast of Asia Minor and
bombarded the islands.
Constantinople, Sept. 23.—T h e
Frcnch government has sent a wire
less message to Mustapha Kemal Pa
sha, requesting him not to take any
hostile action until the arrival of the
French Emmissary. Within thirty-six
hours the world will know whether
the Turkish Nationalists have chos
en war or peace.
LEAGUE OF NATION'S WILL NOT
