K. if Thev Do Not Nullify President Wilson Says. Washington, Nov. 7. President Wil son today told Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, administration leader in the senate treaty fight, that he would be entirely satisfied with any reservations supporters of the treaty might feel ! justified in accepting, provided they did j not nullify the league of nations cove nant and were designed for1 the pur poses of interpreting the terms of the treaty. The President, Senator Hitchcock said, expressed '"his very strong ap proval" of what had. been done up to date, and agreed that no contpromise would be offered unless a deadlock was reached on a resolution of ratification. . Senator Hitchcock outlined his pro gram as, first, an endeavor to defeat the reservations reported by the for eign relations committee, ' and that if that failed, to vote.'down the resolution of ratification containing them.

' ' - ' - - - . -- BUT LITTLE CHANGE NOTE IN GENERAL STRIKE CONDITIONS Curtailment of Passenger Train Service, Discontinu ance of Bunkering of Foreign-Owned Vessels and Other Restrictions Forecast Future Possibilities. Chicago, Nov. 7. Curtailment of passenger train service, discontinuance of bunkering of foreign-owned vessels at American ports, restrictions in some - places of the use of public ; utilities and appeals for coal from various cities as the strike of approximately 425,000 bit nminous coal miners today round ed out its first week gave the nation further indications of the distress in store should there be a protracted suspension of mining operations. Other disarrangements of the country's routi ne were expected today, with little ' change in the general conditions 'surrounding the strike itself. Government agencies still remained hopeful that developments at Indianap olis, when the motion filed by attor neys for the United Mine Workers ot America asking dissolution of the re straining order issued last week by Judge Anderson will be argued, might point the way to an early ending of the strike. To the , states . already reported suf fering from a coal shortage. Kansas, Nebraska, Alabama and Iowa today was added Oklahoma. "Follow the first law of nature, which is self-preservation, and take any coal you can get your hands on," was the reply- of Governor J. B.' A. Robertson of Oklahoma, to one county's appeal for aid. ' While it officially rras announced by the director general of railroads that no general curtailment of train service was contemplated, sixty-six trains today had been annulled in the central west. Regional directors had orders to elimi nate service where absolutely necessary in the public interest. Operation of some of the coal mines in Oklahoma, plans for . which it was expected would be completed yesterday. will be started as soon as everything is in readiness, it wis announced. West Virgiina operators reported forty-four mines in union districts being worked and a1 slight increase in production also was reported by Colorado mine opera tors. New Mexico producers said but half the miners normally .employed were on strike. Small cities and towns of Kansas re ported suffering by many families was imminent with the coming of cold weather. FIRST VOTE WON BY REPUBLICANS Would Have Stricken Out Provision Requiring Ac ceptance by Powers. ' s -. - - I " Washington, Xo 7. In." the first test of strength on the reservations io the peace treaty proposed by the for eign relations committee, the senate re fused today, by a vote of 48 to 40, to strike out the provision which would require acceptance of the reservations by the other powers. Senator McCumber, North Dakota, was the only republican who voted tp strike out. Three democrats, Reed, Mi souri Walsh, Massachusetts, and Gore, Oklahoma!, voted with the republican majority.' r By the same vote and with the same partisan alignment, the senate rejected another amendment, offered by Senator McCumber, to the preamble, proposing that acceptance of reservations "might be effected by exchange of diplomatic notes. The committee preamble re quires such an exchange of notes. The i senate also rejected a proposal by Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, to , require that all four instead of three of the great powers be required to ac cept the reservations. On this vote the mild reservation group of republicans swung over with the democrats. RITCHIE HAS SMALL LEAD IN MARYLAND yoInctown THREE .jfi w,m nn improper purpose.

The miners' attorneys will argue a motion for dismissal of the govern ment's proceedings on the ground that the government is without equity in the matter. There was no disposition on the part of either miners or government repre-' sentatives today to concede any point to - the opposition: The miners are standing on their declaration that they are willing to open negotiations imme diately if the restraining order is va cated. The government's legal repre sentatives have announced that they intend to continue with the court pro gram which has been started.

Bulgaria asked that ' the clause for the protection of racial minorities, which she accepted, be modified so that Ottoman subjects who left Do brudja, Thrace, or Macedonia, to seek refuge in Bulgaria be granted facilities( to choose with regard to their nation ality. The reply says this point has been noted by the allied powers and that measures will be taken to better: the status of this refugee population. Bulgaria's proposal for the creation cf a corps of frontier guards is ac cepted, but the men are to be recruit ed by voluntary enlistments only and their number must not exceed 3,000. A slight change 'is. made in the na val terms, Bulgaria being allowed to retain a certain number of small -vessels for the patrol of. fisheries, etc, all manned on a purely non-military basis. The allies assure Bulgaria ' that the reparations commission will have the power to facilitate, if necessary, the conditions for the payment," of the sums due on renaration. Payment may be made by means of- property, real estate, . concessions, ete.; instead of by currency, if the reparations commrs sion so decides. Bulgaria is given ten riavs in which to make reply.

The oper ators have not replied to the proposal. The operators repeated today that their non-union mines are working 100 per cent normal and that many . union miners are either returning to their old jobs or seeking work in other fields.
