ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE PUT UP TO GOVERNMENT <Cntinnd From Page Od.) ers to returi to work at the old aoale. •econd, a wage Increase for day mine workers applicable to the entire central competitive Seld. SAYS CONDITION DTE YO T. S. BLUNDERS. Mr. Lewis said the condition In Illinois L directly due to the blander* of the United States bituminous coal commiarion. His statement follows: "The present situation in the Illinois coal fields is directly chargeable to the lamentable blunder of the United States bituminous coal commission which, la Us majority award, failed to provide adequate compensation for certain classifications of mine workers. "This award was affirmed by President Wilson over the protest of the national officers of the United Mine Workers and In violation of the pledges of the United (States government that Justice would be rendered the miners. "Since the rendition of the award the mine workers In most of the coal producing fields have been employed but a small percentage of full time due to the miserable breakdown of the nation's facflities. “In the meantime, the coal operators are charging unprecenented prices foi coal and are enthusiastically engaging in what one may term the sun dance of the profiteers. "In certain sections coal Is selling at the outrageous and indefensible price of from sll to Sl2 per ton f. o. b. the mines. PTBLIC BEING SANDBAGGED. "The Amerlcm public is being sandbagged by these daring commercial vandals who stagger beneath their loot. “When the basic agreement between the mipers and operators was consummated in New York on March 21, repr tentative* the mine workers at that time attempted to secure the acquiescence of the operators in an arrangement which

r v Chinee No Likee NEW YORK, July 20.—A1l tickets held bv Americans for the G 1 Wing boat excursion must be indorsed by •a reputable member of the laundrymen's organization. Americans went the last time when fifty-seven Chlnamen-owned watches were reported missing. V J would give Justice to the day workers and monthly men. “Their efforts were repulsed by the coal operators, since which time the united mine workers have in every way assumed the obligations of the wage agreement to which the Illinois coal operators party. “The publicly expressed desire of the Illinois operators to now amend the wage agreement has not been officially transmitted to the officers of the national union, which has supervision oTer such matters. If a settlement is made in Illinois which motlifles the basic interstate agreement prompt action will be taken by this office to force an immediate shutdown of all mines operating in the central competitive field, involving some 200,000 men, until similar modifications, together with other improvements, are arranged j for in the coal producing states.” OPERATORS WORK FOR U. S. INTERVENTION CHICAGO, July 10.—With coal digging at a standstill throughout Illinois and 1 an impending walkout of 210,000 minor* i In the central competitive fields threaten- j ing the fuel supply of the entire corn- I try, Illinois coal operators today were j trending every effort toward securing j government Intervention. The Illinois operators planned to ap- j peal to President Wilson tb reassemble j the federal bituminous coal commission I in order to reopen the award negotla- | tions. ' % The operators are reported to be ready j to recommend to the commission that the increase granted the men be adjusted so that the workers will get an increase cf rs.ii per cent over the amount they reeeii and before the commission made its award last April. Tl-K the operators believe, would make the t ‘al percentage of increase granted the day men the same as that allowed the minors in the April award. • .? operators believe that a speedy settlement of the situation in the central feid I- possible if thejfederal government revives the coal commission. President Wilson is awaiting advice from Secretary of Labor Wilson before he takes any action with regard to calling upon the laborers in the coal industry to settle their difficulties ana to use their efforts for a maximum production, it was stated in a dispatch from Washington ttKiay. HALF OF INDIANA MINES ARE IDLE FROM STRIKES TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 20.— Prae. tieally half of the coal mines in Indk ana are idle today as a result of the spread of the Illinois strikes across the state line, according to reports received here. t ' v AU mines are reported down in the Clinton, Jasonyille and Bicknell districts, and approximately twenty mines In the Terre Haute district are Idle, according to these reports. Other mines are reported closing “every hour.” Ed Stewart, president of district No. 11, United Mine Workers, today telegraphed John I. Lewis, International president, stating that the mines were closing against the advice of offiicals and urging that arrangements be effected between operators and minors of the central competitive field for presentation of the case to “such authorities as would have the right to take this question up for adjustment.”

FARRINGTON SAYS FOR LEWIS TO ‘KEEP OFF’ BPRIXGFEIT.D, 111., July 26.—President Frank Farrington of the Illinois miners’ organization today Issued a statement declaring the miners and operators in Illinois and other bituminous fields will gbt together quickly If International President John I. i/owis will “keep his hands off.” Farrington declared there was no material change in the Illinois situation today except that a few Independent companies had agreed to grant the miners' increases. “We are doing everything possible to get all the miners back to work,” Farrington said. “It is better to straighten out the matter nqw than later when coll weather has overtaken us and the country Is in more desperate need of coal. “There can be no hope of a steady production of coal In this state until the matter Is adjusted," he said. Farrington, referring to the statement Saturday In which John W. Lewis, international president, said a settlement in the Illinois field meant a strike, said the result would be to combine Interests against Illinois miners. He believes adjustment in Illinois would lead to a peaceful settlement of unrest in other field*. He said Lewis should only call a Strike on merit and not because of any successes Illinois miners might have. * Increases asked by miners can be granted without causing raises In coal prices to the public, Farrington's statement said. 5,000 KANSAS MINERS QUIT KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 20.—Five thousand union miners quit work In the Kansas coal fields shortly after noon today, according to telephonic advices front the miners' headquarters at Pittsburg. Asked If the men bad any specific reasons for laying down their .tools, union headquarters declined to outline them.

Charges Negligence; Asks Big_Damagcs JERSEY CITY, N. J.. July 26—A verdict for $9,000 was returned by the Jersey circuit court against Dr. Frederick W. Zlekell, dentist, who was charged with responsibility for the death of a patient, Mrs. Cornelia Ollert. It was claimed that Dr. Ziebell was using an electric drill on Mrs. Ollert June 13, 3916, when a heavy thunder shower broke, and the drill, affected by the electrical disturbances, transmitted an augmented current of electricity that burned Mrs. Ollert’s mouth and gave her a shock from which it was contended lockjaw developed. She died two days later. It was alleged that Dr. Ziebell failed to haye the wire which transmitted the power to the drill proporly insulated. The doctor denied this. Town Bailiff Falls on Torpedoes; Hurt BELAIR, Md 0 July 26.—Fourth of July torpedoes, which exploded in his pocket when he fell on them, caused injuries which mly prove fatal to Town Bailiff George A. Noonan. Prior to the Fourth young men In the town bad been bursting torpedoes about the town streets, much to the annoyance cf townsfolk and nervous livestock. Bailiff Noonan attempted to stop the noise-making. He captured a supply of the objectionable fireworks. He put the booty in hi* coat pocket. In a scuffle with young men. which followed. the officer tripped and fell. The torpedoes !n his pocket exploded with great force.

NORREL ROASTS ‘LILY WHITES’ Predicts Disaster for Them at Coming Election. Editor The Times —I again desire to speak to the colored voters of Marion county through the columns of your paper, for I feel it-my duty as a citizen and a voter to give thqm the true status of the man and measures for whom they are called upon to vote in the coming election. I have waited patiently for Lawyer Henderson to make some explanation as to his continued silence on the republican county ticket, but he remains dumb as an oyster, notwithstanding the boasted claim of “Big .Tack,” the "Lily White” henchman, that Henderson would come back and wipe up'the earth with me. Henderson, and all others know that the “Lilly White” bunch are clannish, never intended that a colored man should be on the ticket, and never Intended that Henderson should be on the Ticket as a Justice oftbe peace, because nfter the primary was held the “Lilly Whites” cut down the number of Justices of the peace to three and after the election raised it to five, and never appointed Henderson, as they had promised to do to fill one of the vacancies. All they want is the colored man’s vote on election day. They are saying that I have no persona! following. It is true that I do not carry the voters around in mF pocket, nor do I claim such power as is claimed by the white bosses and the colored wardheelers, but there is no denying that I was thought enough of by 6.591 men, without reward or hope of reward, to be honored with their vote at the primary for the office of state senator. Now, can it be said that these men are not open to reason and cannot be advised as to their best Interests, and that they will not vote for the men who will best serve them, regardless of party affiliations? I appeal to the class of men, now making six or seven dollars a day in the founderles, factories and manufacturing plants of this city, who are entirely Independent of political influence. They are the same men- who supported Dr. Charles Surouer Williams, W. E. Henderson and raj self, and whose vote may alwnys be relied upon to be cast in the lest interest of their people. PARTY IS SECONDARY. Party with them is a secondary consideration. They are the people who will teach Harry Hendrickson and the “Lily White” gang a wholesome lesson on the second of November. They will inquire of Jim Watson, the I whip of the house when he wm bos* of I that body, why he didn’t raise his voles or do some tet for the colored cons’ fleuts in faior of some of the vital i Nation* in which tbev were interested. He never, in all his life, while In public office, so far as anybody can show, proposed a colored man for any position of honor or trust, or aided any of them to secure such a position. He will be placed in a position ou his record as against the record of Thomas Taggart, the lifelong friend of the colored man, as I said before. Taggart, when he was mayor of the city of Indianapolis, often found pleasure in giving colored men positions of honor and trust and at nil tlmos treated tium with due consideration sud fairness

What say you, Mr. Watson? We are after you. I suppose you will take the same attitude as Henderson has taken, but we wi!'. make you coma out into the open and teli fhg people why yon have remained sjlent all these year* toward the colored people and yet ask them to support you and the ticket for party's sake. A FEW WORDS TO COLORED VOTERS. Just a few words more. Mr. Colored Voter, have you watched the proceedings of this special legislature? ' Did you know that Mr. Newman, who introduced the bill to repeal the prli mnry law, only- received six votes more then Silas Pritchard did at the primary? There still is a posalblllty that the mai chine will be able to accomplish the | repeal of tho primary law, and thus ! forever prevent a colored man from getj ting on the ticket, and securing a posl--1 tlon where he can benefit his people. That is the sole reason why the republican machine wants the primary law repealed, for If they succeed in their design no colored roan can ever aspire to hold an office Ja this or any other county of this state. Yon can see why Newman wants it repealed. Let us take a united stand against the | repeal of the primary law. It may have I Its faults, but it It much better even a^ ■ it is than the so-cr.lled tax reform bill. This entire republican county ticket must be defeated at the polls, for we | have learned that we can not trust them. Born in corruption, defiled by Us ■ bosses, It can not survive the light of ! Investigation. They have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. We all remember Rev. William Holder, a poor demented man who was sent to Julietta. % The circumstances surronndlng his death hare never been satisfactorily explained. Under the pressure brought to hear it appears that the superintendent of that Institution has resigned on account of ill health, but does this clear the skirts of the commissioners who have permitted i this man to remain in charge for years, in spite of the recommendation of the : grand Jury that he be removed? SAYS AUDITOR IN CONTROL. Is It not true that the county commissioners are dominated and controlled by Leo K. Fesler. the nrrogant county auditor, a well-known “lily white,” who engineered Henderson’s defeat? The whitewashing administered under i the direction of the grand Jury does not 1 prove that he Is competent and qualified : to hold the office for which he draws a salary, and we nre informed that this man dominates and controls the republican party of Marlon county. We contend and believe that even the most loyal colored henchman will say that Leo K. Fesler and Harry Hendrickson have no respect or appreciation for the work done by the colored voters of Marlon county. A petition is now being circulated for signatures for an independent republican ticket, and in a few days, it will be publicly announced. Henderson. Prichard and other lifelong colored republicans will either have to support this ticket or give some reason to the thousands of men who voted for them why they do not. If I may be permitted to again uso the columns of this paper, I promise an article that will furnish as much entertainment as- this or the previous article has done. I waut the support of all colored republicans who intend to vote at the coming election. JAMES R. NORREL. July 23, 1020. *

APPROVE PLANS ’ TO RESURFACE Delaware Street Improvement Given O. K. ,At the week'y meetings of the Board o*l public works today the question ol widening and resurfacing North Delaware street, between Sixteenth and Nine teenth street, was taken up. The report of City Engineer F. C. Llngenfelter shows the cost of the work es timated at *28,884.40, Including the street and alley Intersections. Not including intersections the cost is placed at $27,811.30. The engineer estimates the cost at $lO.Ol a lineal foot. The appraised valuation of property affected is $180,840. The board approved the report of the engineer and the matter of hearing remonstrances will be the next action. Under the plan of the engineer, the Jog at Sixteenth street will be eliminated and the roadway widened from thirty to thir-ty-six feet,' taking three feet from each side of the street. The board, which had previously advertised for bids on ten Jobs of grading and graveling, found when they opehed the box that no bids had been received on the work. It was said that the-scarcity and high price of gravel was largely responsible for no bids being received, as most contractors could not keep their bids within the engineer's estimated costs because of high prices for gravel.

It Is said, but took a spin into the wind to test the seas. In the meantime the question was put to Capt. Burton of the Shamrock, who agreed. Reiolute returned to the committee boat and signalled her agreement later, Nicholson said.

BUSH TAKES THE PART OF THE SENATE. Lieut. Gov. Edgar D. Bush said today : “The senate Is contending for what the platform calls for, for what the people want, for what Gov. Goodrich recommended In his message and in the light of these clreifftstances I see no reason why the hrnse conferees should try to bold out longer. “There may be technicalities, but there can’t be any compromise on what is right or wrong.” • Speaker Jess Esehbach of the lower house was anxious before the legislature adjourned Saturday afternoon to be abie to place In Joint conference committee the substitute tax bill which was passed by the^senate Instead of giving approval to the Tuthlll house tax measure which legalized the horizontal increases of the state tax board. The presiding offb-er of the senate did not transmit the Kiper substitute tax bill Bnd In this way the bill was not in the bands of the conferees during the week-end recess. It Is the subject of open discussion In the corridors of the statehouse that Representative Mendenhall will not consent to the amendments made by the senate to the Johnson ‘home rule” bill. Representative Mendenhall is a member of the conference committee considering the Johnson "home rule” bill. It is the opinion that the senate and the house will remain deadlocked until the presiding officer of the senate sends the substitute tax bill to the lower house for consideration.

England's Women Economize Rigidly LONDON, July 26.—Women of means and good social position are radically reducing their expenditures. An exclusive restaurant, catering only to thp wealthy Class, is said to be running at a lo*s of over *5.000 per week through the falling off In trade, and the flower shops are feeling the effects of the new "economy.” “Women are ordering one gown where they used to order three." said a fashionable modiste. “I know of several cases where women who formerly had a new gown for every one of the days at Ascot are only getting one. “They win show off the new gown the first day and on the second day will wear cloaks to hide the fact that they are wearing the same gown again." Commercial travelers have a tale of woe to tell, for they find that orders are not coming In as lavishly as before at this time of the year and many wealthy women are making their own lingerie—or having It made by a woman employed by the day.
