OPERATORS BREAK COAL AGREEMENT Continued from Pago One. would, in the emergency, be provided, it wa* said, and every arrangement possible to provide coal to the consumer would be mad “The public is going to know." said Mr. Kschbach. "Just who is to blame in this situation. We hope the operators will provide the coal and distribute it through the regular sgenc4*« and channels. 1 * Mr. Each bach and Governor Goodrich both have expressed a determination to arrange for the * production and distribution of coal through emergeacy channels if the retailers and operators fall to co-operate. "Not all operators or retailers." said Mr. Each bach, "are failing to take care of the people. One little operator told me he would provide me five carloads a day for distribution. I wouldn’t dare give hia name. I suppose. for he might be froxen out." Attftade ef Retailers. Indiana retailers apparently are taking an attitude eomewhat different from that of th# operators. They have requested the commission. Mr. Eaohbach announced, to reopen their case, and give them an opportunity to present coat statements, which, they aay, will show that their margain of 92 25 a ton is too low. Mr. Eschbech has aet Wednesday morning aa the time for tha hearing. The request was made through the Indiana Retail Cos) Merchants' Association. Retailers will appear individually before the commission. They objected to giving coat statements at the public hearing DM5i k Attorneys have advised the retailers to fill all orders from domestic consumers until the supplies they have are exhausted, and'they aay the retailer* are following this policy. The retailer* also, they assert, are endeavoring to obtain additional supplies of coal from tbe mines, in order that the shortage will not become acute, They sire selling now at the margin fixed by the commission, they say. Legal Action Anticipated. Indications are that the operators intend filing suit for aw injunction to prevent the commission from continuing its prices In effect. In event the commission rules that it has regulatory power over coal sold under contracts entered into prior to July 31. whan the law became effective, and directs that its prices be made the prices of contract coal. It Is believed the operator* will file suit at once, alleging that the commiaaion has violated sections of the Constitution which forbid the impairing of con-

tracts.

ntract

Coal men were rather bewildered today In regard to a situation arising from the fact that niany contracts have clauses providing that in the event prices are llxed by state or national governments, the contracts may bo.canceled by either party. There Were no indication* that any contracts have been canceled. Both coal men and large coal consumers are “sitting tighr until they understand more fully what Interpretations the commission will place on Its order*. Thi coal consumers fear that If they cancel their contract*, they may not be able to buy coal on the open market. Operator# say there will be little coal on th© open market in Indiana, at least for some time. The operators, on the other hand, do not wish to cancel their contracts if they think the commission is not going to rule that it has regulatory power over contracts entered Into before July 31.

Stataa ot Coa tract Coal.

Whether contract coal in Indiana la subject to prices fixed by the state special coal and food commission is a question being discussed by coal men and lawyer*. The price fixing orders issued by th# commission Wednesday make no exception of contract coal, but som* persona hav* Interpreted tbe order# as applying only to ••free'*

or open market coal.

James W. Noel and Howard S. Young, attorney* for th# commission In a statement issued Friday, said that it is their opinion that the prices apply to contract coal. Mr. Eschbech has given out no interpretation of the orders. He said the question is one for the courts to decide. The attorneys, in their statement, said: "The com mission has Issued orders that are definite and plain aa to their meaning, and it declines to render an ©pinion construing the orders This will be the duty of the court when any case ia properly pnesented. It is the opinion of counsel, however, not speaking for th* commission, that when such question is presented to the court the court will, without doubt, decide that all contracts made prior to the order of th* commiaaion must yield *• to price to the prices

fixed in the order. All Goal Affected.

"It ha* been decided from time immemorial that when the price fixing power resides in the state, all contract# made between parties are deemed to be mad# in contemplation of the possible exercise of that power by the state. The law Is read into every contract and every contract made with respect to coal Is subject to the superior power of regulation on the part of the state. If auch is the law. then all deliveries made after the orders were promulfrated must be made t,t not to exceed th* price# fixed t>v the commiaaion in its order, regardless of prices fixed in prior con-

tra©* s.

"Ord.tr \'o 1. fixing price# provides that tha maximum price for coal f. o. b. mtae*. for delivery in the state of Indiana, shall ba aa provided in th* ord*r and Section 1? of th# statute provides that any on# who shall ask. demand or receive a higher price shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor

and punished accordingly."

It has been eatimated that about 99 per cent, of the coal mined in Indiana is produced to fill contracts, and that the remaining 10 per cent, is “free"’

coal.

Uhaage In Practice Reported. Some persons who had contracted for coal recently complained vigorously that high open market prices caused mine operator# to disregard the contracts and sell coal mined to fill contracts in the open market. Now that prices are established for open market coal th# operator* it l# said, are using their covl to fill contracts, and are saying that they have no coal for the open market. The informal interpretation that places contract coal under the prices established bv th© commisaiun is causing operators

*1 ask tbe mothers of Indiana: Was not that the pledge? You will find the league of natioaa published in the Democratic campaign book. You will not find it printed in the Republican campaign book. Now I will ask you whether it ia fair not to present this greatest question. I contend you are

entitled to both aides."

Other mention was made of Senator Watson aa one of the twenty-nine men who signed the round robin of opposition to the league along with Senator Harding and Henry Cabot i/odg*». senator from Massachusetts. Governor <~o* saying that the rank and file ef the Republican* had no more to do with th* making of tbe nomination at Chicago than "a man from Timbuctoo" asserted that Senator Watson was In Room 4*4 of the Blackatone hotel, where the senatorial oligarchy picked the Republican nom-

inee

"The next day the delegates were given the privilege of ratifying." he continued, “and they-did ratify without any reservations. The Indiana vote was finally cast for Harding, and yet what kind of showing had he made in th# Indian* primary?" Mr. Cox presented the league of nations as a greet moral issue, which th* churches had approved. "We were agreed spiritually in those days that we ought, to end war." he said, referring to public opinion before the political campaign came on. and added: “The element of aocial responsibility was the creed of Chriat Himself." Fewer to Deelare War. Replying to an argument against the league, he asked whether the superintendent or principal of the dS’ew Albany schools was present. Mr. McClain, the principal, waa present. Then the Governor brought out answers that the congress has ths exclusive power to declare war. The Governor then asked whether the President has any more right to declare war than the chief of police of New Albany and the answer of Mr. McClain was satisfactory to tbe speaker. Governor Cox was introduced at New Albany by John W. Ewing. Democratic canlidate for congress in the Third Indiana district. The Governor waa somewhat hoarse at first, but his voice soon cleared and he said he liked tbe morning sun bath and the large audience ao well that he refused to stop when the schedule time was up. The special train stopped a few minutes at Bordens, between New Albany and Salem. The Governor leaned out of hia car window to shake hands with many who crowded up. *Tt ia little less than a crime that the league of nations should have been made a political question," he said in a brief talk at Borden. “Men and women ought not to be asked to pass upon a question so important in °* partisanship of a campaign. The senatorial oligarchy defied the interest of America and of civilisation when they did it. You have in Indiana a member of the senatorial oligarchy and you ought to leave him at home. He has been In the senate long enough. Any man who signed the round robin against the most humane instrument in the world does not deserve a place la th* United States senate. I believe that Indiana upon reflection will not keep a member of the senatoriei oligarchy in the seAte. The senatorial candidate for the presidency within the laat thfee days has declared positively against the league of nationa. I am for the league of nationa. and I am for it with all my soul." Hour Behind Schedule. The train was almost an hour behind schedule when it reached Salem at 10:30 o'clock, where an open air audience of more than 4.000 persons awaited the candidate. The Governor stood on a truck in a hot sun and again devoted his time to the league or nations, inviting and arguing questions. He asked one himself and it wa# whether there waa an Irishman here. < "Yes. Tom, Tom." severs) shouted. Mr. Taggart wa# sitting on the truck near the nominee for President and he stood up and acknowledged the greeting. After Mr. Cox completed his speech. Mr. Taggart said, in a few words, that the best and about the only way to reduce the taxes ia by the reduction of armies and navies. Mr. Cox renewed his promise. If elected, to bring the freedom of Ireland before the Teague of nations under provision of Article 11. In opening his Salem address the candidate, commenting on the large audience, said it indicated "that the soul of Indiana has been aroused as it always has been when vital questions of the nation arc at issue." A baby cried. ’Don’t you worry about that babv; it is music to my ears," he said. "Every time I bear a baby I am nerved for this fight, for we are fighting for the babies." Let Ged Talk. He Urgvs. "Strip yourselves down to your very consciences and let God Almighty talk to you.” the Governor said in his league appeal. He .then told of how the churches. Jew and Gentile. Protestant and Catholic have indorsed the league, saying that Pope Benedict. in his latest encyclica!. has joined hands with the Protestant churches of the league. Governor Cox said the Idealism of Lincoln and Roosevelt is lost this year In the Republican leadership. Ts there a Republican here, who will deny that if Theodore Roosevelt had lived that senatorial oligarchy would have dared to nominate one of Us members, a man who called Theodore Roosevelt a Benedict Arnold?” he asked. At Salem, as at New Albany, he won applause by saying that "no person, who has asked me a question, baa been jailed. Out the front porch at Marion has been locked up." he addvd. Inviting questions from the crowd he askm4: "What objections have you heard to the league of nations?’ “Why. that it iwiil drag the boys over to Europe xo fight?*’ The Governor then, as at New Albany. asked whether the superintendent ef schools was present, and. finding he was. brought out by questions and answers that under the Constitution only the congress can declare

war.

Asked.

Question

"What other question. boysT* inquired the candidate. “About the six votes for Great Britain and one for the United States, in the assembly of the league of nations." somebody asked. The candidate made the usual answer about the requirement of unanimous action in the council giv. ing one vote as much power as many

votes.

“The boys who were in service in France will tall you Canada is entitled to a vote.” he said. Th$ nominee catied attention to a reservation offered by Senator HltehJ cock and rejected by the “senatorial oligarchy." providing that in disputes between the United States and Great Britain neither shall have a vote, nor shall the British dominions have a

Says He DM N*t Write Letter Prt«r to Cox Meeting at Kaaiuui dty. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. October 9.— United States Senator James A. Reed has disclaimed authorship of a note made public on the occasion of the address of Governor James M. Cox- here last Saturday night in which the senator’s regrets were expressed that a previous engagement kept him from attending the meeting. HOOVER SPEAKS AI THE COLUMBA CLUB Continued from Page One. the domination of extremists in government. View ef Preseat Treaty. "My personal view with regard to the practical development of a league is that some articles in the present treaty must be abandoned and aome modified. But a great many parts of the present treaty are good and intertwined with the stability of the world. They offer opportunity to secure co-operation of the great majority of nations who hav# joined it. Therefore. I believe that in keeping faith with the promise to use alt that is good in the covenant for the development of the great principle to which it has pledged itself practical Republican statesmanship must build upon the foundations of the existing treaty and include in it the great step forward in international justice now settled by Senator Root. Principle Will Net Down. “Tbe issue of this principle of proper organized action of nations to prevent war will not down. It belongs to no party and no creed. It will be the critical issue of forwardlooking men In all nations until it succeeds in finally overthrowing militarism as a basis of world rela-

tions.”

In his argument that the major issue of the campaign is party responsibility. Mr. Hoover said: “As our# is a government that must be based on parties, it is fundamental that when a party fail# in statesmanship, or fails to carry out its promises, it must accept the penalties of that failure: it should be retired that its leadership may be reformed. "This is the real f sue and is immensely more deeply seated than superficial partisanship. Drifting Since the Armistice. "I believe that since the armistice the present administration has made a failure by all the tests thattw# can apply. No man would be so narrow as to condemn the patriotism of onehalf of hi* countrymen. “But If we are to maifHain and sustain party government, if we are to hold through this our only means of expression of the will of the ma- ! jority. any party that fails a# a par;y ' should and must be retired from

office.”

Mr. Hoover reviewed the support, given by the Republican party to- (

ward winning the war.

"But with victory accomplished, the | leaders of the Democratic party, dis- | regarding this co-operation, decided i to ignore one-half of the people of! the United States and to make peace j alone. Here I believe lie# the begin-; ring of its failure, in statesmanship. ■We have simply orifted in the last two years. In political leadership, this party has. at least for the pres-

ent. ceased to function.” N#t a Dispute •£ Principle.

Regarding interparty disagf cement over settling treaty questions, "in which enters only the principle

of peace ‘

of policemen to arraat economic forces. There is no better example of the total futility of th# methods employed in the handling of thl sugar

problem.”

Mr. Hoover said he would not attempt to outline a solution of thea# problems, but there should be advance planning and co-ordination in our federal machinery and a proper executive budget system. Relatlaashtp t* Industry. "There i* a wider problem of govemmental action for which the Republican party must find solution than any question of departmental reorganisation, and this 1# the profound question of tbe relationship of th# government to Industry. I regard it as the greatest Internal problem facing our nation. For many years, th# development of our transportation, fuel, power and water by private initiative has been one of the stimuli that has created th® greatness of our country. This wa# accomplished with great rapidity and little need of government intervention when the problems are local and when they were filled with speculative profits. The moment, however, that we decided as a nation, and rightly decided, that we muat control rates and combinations and therefore limit profits to be earned in the operation of auch utilities. at that very moment we started to undermine private initiative in the development of these essential tools of production and service. Our national action In relation to these matters during the laat quarter of a century has been devoted almost entirely to providing a v/tst series of negative checks against misuse of economic power. We are now face to face with a great social and economic problem as to how we ar# to produce initiative that will secure broad economic development of our tools of production end service, and at the same time protect the public from unlimited power in operation. Transports!ioa Kitvatloa. "We need no more profound example of the result of these forces than in the present condition of our transportation system. During the heavy movement season, there is scarcely a part of the country where the railway# are able to move our total production, where our producers are not suffering from the immovable gluts and where our consumers are not suffering from the shortage in delivery. It affects our farmers, our manufacturers; It affects our Arork people. Our transportation aysCph is not equal to the movement of the commodities that we require if we are to maintain our standard of living.” Another great problem which Mr. Hoover mentioned was in relation to the bituminous coal Industry in the--eastern states. He said that the dif-| ficulties involved in this problem could be largely cured by co-opera-tive action of the great consumers, by co-operative action among the coal operators. ,by the development of great electrical power production at certain strategic points, and by the co-operation of the workmen. “Wo must insist on the necessary social views of th© prohibition of combination,” he said, "but if we insist upon this view, thfre must be some national plan to secure «>is cooperation to the common good.”

ON BOARD SENATOR HARDING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Octabar 9.—On tha laat tap of bla mid western speaking trip. Senator Harding's schedule today added two more states. Kansas and Oklahoma, to tha Hat of thoss into which he has carried his campaign. The first stop today wa# at Wichita. Ka*.. and he was to sueak at Oklahoma City tonight. Along the way many cities turned out crowds to see him, and rear platform speech** of only a few minutes were arranged at various stops. A nation “aelf reliant," agriculturally. industrially and politically, waa espoused by Senator Harding in his addraaa in the Wichita Forum. Many farmer* and students of tha state agricultural college were in the audience and the Republican nominee outlined at length his policies for the protection of tha American farmer. Restates f.eagae P*aftien. Taking his cue from th# argument for seif-reliant agricultural America, he restated his position on the league of nations, and repeated that ha opposed going into the Versailles covenant or any other international agreement Involving obligations like those of Article 10. The crowd cheered him repeatedly aa he praised the American farmer and struck at the Democratic administration and the Versailles league. When Georg© M. Hamilton, president of Wichita Chamber of Commerce, opened the meeting with a short speech discussing the international wheat show in session here, th# audience several tiroes !nt*«runted him with a demand for "Harding." Governor Henry J. Allen, who made the nominating speech for General Wood in the Chicago convention. introduced the nominee. Greeted by Crowds. The Forum waa packed. Other crowds cheered the senator as he rode through the downtown district on his way from tha train. Bafara entering th* Forum he and Mrs. Harding paid a vtait of Inspection to the wheat show in company withGovernor Alien and Senator Arthur Capper. "I have not very much patience." said Senator Harding, "with a man who is more concerned with the lands across the sea than he ta with our own. I don’t want a mortgaged republic; I don’t want a mortgaged manhood and womanhood in America, much lea* a mortgaged youth. "The Democratic nomine# for President has said he favor* America going into the covenant as negotiated by the President at Paris. I’m not.

I trust that maketi my position reasohably clear. "I found no fault with the President going abroad after the war. 1 thought it was a fine thing, hut tlj* President did not stop to think of America when he was shaping this covenant for a supergovernment of the world.” The nominee said that despite the Presidents opinion to the contrary, if th© league called for war under Article 10. the nation would be "honor bound” to respond. He added that h«! wished the nation to play it# part in the world, but was not ready to lay down any specific plan. Nst Oar-Man Job. "If I stood this morning and attempted to lay down the plans for future conduct of the world.” he continued, "you’d think I was mad. as I would be. No one man is big enough to work out human destiny, I do not propose that one man shall make the plan; that’s the trouble with the Paris plan notv." Under his administration. Mr. Harding said, a plan of world association for disarmament and peace would be worked out by common counsel. He said he would se*k advice in the task "without regard to partisan connections. and without regard to sex.” adding that he was '’willing to trust the judgment of th© mothers of America Turning to domestic questions, the nominee said he felt that the nation should "put Its own house in order" rather than concern itself too much with international affairs. At home, he said, there must be a policy to coordinate agriculture and industry to insure maximum production. The senator argued for "a good, wholesome American policy of protection.” Maud* f*r Protection. "I am a protectionist," he said "from tha soles of my feet to th# top of tny head. I believe In A«arican markets for American products first. It's only eight years since all the expenses of this country were paid by indirect taxation. It'e different now. Of course, the. war cost enormously, but I do believe an efficient Republican administration with a Republioan policy of protection enn materially cut down th# cost of government and the coat of Hvlng.”
