ASKS HARDING TO ARBITRATE IN MINGO ‘WAR’ President of United Mine Workers Asks for Executive Action in W. Virginia. WOULD ABOLISH GUARDS WASHINGTON*. Aug. 27. President Harding is giving careful consideration to the request of John L. Lewis. presi dent of the United Mine Workers of America, for a conference of mine oper stors and workers to end the industrial situation and threatened war in Mingo and Logan bounties. West Virginia, it was stated at tWP White House tol*r. The President discussed the situation with Senator Sutherland. West Virginia, and it is understood the feasibility of calling a conference was considered. Suggesting a conference between miners and operators. John L. Lewis, international president of the i’nited Miue Workers of America, has sent a telegram to President Warren tt. Harding asking -him to take the first step in arbitration . of the Mingo County, W. Va.. mine difficulties. Mr. Lewis, in his message, states Federal troops are not needed in Mingo County hut that the protection of the rights of citizens is needed. He suggests that the conference, which he proposes. take up the question of abolishing the private detective guard employed by mine operators and of settling the differences between the miner? and the operators on any honorable basis. The message to the President follows: “The disturbed situation In the coal Gelds vl Me-'* Virginia warrants me in addressing you this message. The presence of many hundreds of armed agents of the notorious Baldwin-Felts detective agency, employed by the coal operators together with the acts of brutal violence which they have committed, has developed a sense of outrage In the minds of the mine workers of the State which has resulted in their assembling in large bodies to put an end to such an Intolerable sit:, nation. LOW TTPE OF MEX AS DETECTIVES.

"The Baldwin-Felts Defective Agency maintains Its chief offices in Roanoke. Va.. and does an interstate business, presum ably making it amenable to the regulation of Federal statutes. This concern employes as Its agents men of the lowest j type and character and equips them with | rifles and side arms to act as guards in j the coal fields. The coal operators of Logan. Mingo. McDowell and Mercer : counties in West Virginia employ these gunmen by the hundreds, and evidence conclusively, shows that these armed men practically control the county government in each of the aforesaid counties Brutal outrages are committed by these thugs from time to time upon the persons of the mine workers who are em ployed in that section. No redness is possible to such citisens. because local authority Is entirely set aside by these in flueaces. "The Influence of th's notorious agency has In the pat extended even Into th* councils of th State government and ap peals for protection which, from time to 1 time, have been made hy the injured ! mine workers to the chief executives of l West Virginia have been denied. The cost of maintaining this private army In ’ contravention of the constitutional guar- - antees of our citizenship and *he sta- I tales governing such matters is charged to the production cost of •■oai and the public rompelled to bear the burden. In other words, the coal consuming public is com ! petled to pay for the maintenance of tnese Hessians of industry. "In Mingo County since the Innugura tlon of the present lockout of the mine workers more than forty men have beep killed, which killings are directly trace- i able to the murderous acts of these de p raved men who kill as a part of their dally work. I call the attention of your I Excellency, to the fact that the chief wit- j ness for the Mingo County coal operators j before the senatorial committee re<-entiy investigating the strike, was a Baldwin- I Felts thug named I/tveiy. who upon his i return from Washington. deliberately mardred two nnarmed mine workers on the steps of the courthouse at Welsh. McDowell County. West Virginia. FEDERAL TROOPS NOT NEEDED. "This bloodthirsty act was the culmina i tion of a long series of such outrages which resulted in the present ontbnrst of indignation on the part of the West Virginia miners and their assembling in large bodies to resist such assaults. In the minds of the mine workers of West Virginia there can be no peace so loVg as the Baldwin-Felts thug system is Id such- complete control of the machinery •f the law and such terrible acts go un- j rebuked. ■ "Federal troops are not needed in Wes Virginia so much as the recognition of the rights of citizens as guaranteed by star constitution and iaw and the surrender by the Baldwin-Fe'ts army of privately employed gunmen to the consttted authorities of our Government. The United Mine Workers of America deplorethe situation in West Virginia which has disturbed the domestic tranquillity o* our Nation and affirma Its allegiance to the principle of obediente to tbe law of the land. “I offer aa a constructive suggestion to meet the present emergency In West Virginia that your excellency direct representatives of the operators In tbe disturbed sectlons'of West Virginia and representatives of the mine workers to appear In conference to give consideration to the following propositions which are Involved : L “That the Baldwin-Felts guard system in West Virginia be abolished 2. "That an adjustment of the eontroversy raging between the Mingo County coal operators and tbe mine workers of that section he effected upon any honorable basis which can be found. "I make these suggestions to your excellency In all good faith and sincerity and with a full appreciation of the public Interest which is involved. 1 pledge the cooperation of the United Mine Workers of America in an honorable attempt to ad Jnst the Mingo County situation ami If directed by yon to do so will gladly arrange for adequate representation on the part of the mine worlers in any confer-eji'-e which yon may Initiate." Mr. Lewis is cooperating In a similar conference called by Governor Warren T. McCray for Tuesday for the purpose settling Indiana mine difficulties. KILL \.

The records of Superior Court. Room 5. reveal the fact that John Worthing ton. who now Is held in Chi- -go following an Investigation of recent mail robberies and bank swindles amounting to millions of dollars, is mentioned in connection with a stock transaction of the Calptol State Bank of Indianapolis, which went into the hands of tbe receivers in 1916. In 1918 Edgar A. Ktrause, R. D. Gar rett. receiver for the First National Bank of Peoria. 111., and Wolfe Adolphus submitted an intervening petition to Judge T. J Moll of Superior Court. Room o. asking that they be considered as stock holders and be permitted to share in the division of the assets of tbe Capitol State Bank like any other stockholder The records show that an organlzei of the proposed Capitol State Bank went to Chicago In 1913 for the purpose of gettting sufficient capital stock so a charter conid be Issued. EXTENDED LOAN OF *90.000 TO BANK. The organizer, who was also an official of the proposed bark went to Chicago and secured from John Worthington's hank, which was known as the American Banking Association, what might be called a “loan" of $90,090 with the notes of the subscribers of stock and their certificates of stock as seeuritv. Worthington, according to the evidence, gave the bank organizer what 1s termed a “deposit slip” showing an amount on deposit totaling $90,000 The bank organizer actually did not receive a cent of money from Worthington, only tbe de posit slip. On the strength of this deposit slip, to gether with the subscription notes andcertificates of stock by the stockholders tbe bank here received its charter. During the course of time, the or ganizer of the bank redeemed ail of these notes and certificates of stock held by Worthington except three valued at S2S.000. Worthington, the evidence showed, did not return the three certificates of stock on demand and the bank officials here "cancelled" the certificates of stock. PETITIONERS CASH IN OX CERTIFICATES. The three Intervening petitioners claimed they purchased directly or iDdl rectly from Worthington these certificates of stock which had been cancelled hy the bank ofcfl isls. Two of the petitioners claimed they received tbeir certificates of stock from H. J. Froellch, who had obtained the certificates from Worthington. it was claimed. Wclfo Adolphus claimed he obtained bis certificates from Worthington personally. The court held the three Intervening petitioners had purchased the certificates of stock In good faith and wore entitled to share like any other stockholder. Tbe evidence showed the three petitioners did not know thnt Worthington had been holding these certificates only as surety on the loan.

CONFESSION OF MURDER GIVEN LITTLE CREDIT Seymour Authorities Believe AH Brookses Were Implicated in Atrocious Crime. Special to The Times. SEYMOUR. Ind., Aug 27.—The con fessifin of Ben Brooks that ho murdered Amazona Montgomery was re-alved with some skepticism hero today an 1 lud'cations were that the Inveatl Jat'.on will not bo greatly Influenced by i*. Authorities bad the Impression that Brooks did not toll the full truth when he naiiuied responsiliii'.y for 'the crime in a confession to G. ,A. II Shldeler. *nl erintendeut of the Indiaua Reformatory. He and his father n>l two brother* wore rushed to the reformatory to cecupe possible tnqb violence, following the murder. One point which Brooks. did , not explain to the complete satisfaction of the officers was how he happened to moot Montgomery iu the thicket where the body was found two days after the man disappeared. Another was why he killed a small dog. which always followed Montgomery. and which was found lying dead hy Its master s body. The confessor merely said ho shot Montgomery in self-defense, following an argument when the latter came at him with a drawn knife. Brooks tried to absolve from ail blame his father and two brothers who are held here with him. The technical charge against, tbe quartet is chicken stealing, preferred hy the murdered man some time ago. It was planned to continue the iDquest here. Mrs. Ben’ Brooks testifying ns the first witness gave conflicting testimony as to the movements so her husband on the day Montgomery disappeared. ••Well, be didn't say anything to me about it," she said without emotion when informed Ben had confessed. The potnt now which remains unsolved is whether more than one man was im plica ted. M’CRAY ASKS PAR VALUE FOR BOND ISSUES (Continued From Page One.) Idle ears on the side track and idle loco motives in the round house do not produce incomes er pay dividends. The tales have advanced so ateadlly that in many instances they are 100 per cent more than they xjre in 1911 R \II ROADS MUST SHIRE WITH OTHERS. "The railroads must share with the farmers and manufacturers the burden of the present situation by reducing their freizht rates to a reasonable bit*:*. The present high rates of freight will restrict production and paralyre industry. With decreased freight rates, operating i penses must bp correspondingly reduced.” But the entire burden should not fall upon the railroads alo: e. the Governor pointed ont. The wage earner must do his share In the proeram of reconstruetlon hy accepting the wage reductions -.Thiel), the Governor said, are inevitable. We must all deflate together. In as near a true and equal proportion a* is possible." ho said. "The perpetuity of our institutions is not secure unless ihe masses of workmen, farineis, manufacturers and. in fact, so ciety in genera!, feel end know that un der these Institutions they will each re reive a square deal based upon prin cl pies of what Is right, rational, and practicable ASKS JUSTICE AND SYMPATHY. •We must approach and solve all these perplexing and disturbing ques lions with common sens*, mutual trust, auu with the fullest respect, for the rights of each other. They must be dealt with according to an exalted standard of Justice and human sympathy, with the spirit of malice towarj none and charity for all as the corner stone, and determined hy the broad principles found in Uie Golden Rule.'as proclaimed hy the lowly Nar.arece ages ago. and which still stand as the Itest measure ever proposed for tb" settlement of human differences "The question of what ran be done In order to bring about as speedily* as possible a better business situation Is one that Is vitally pressing. It is a question that concerns every person in the Nation, and doubtless can be answered In a variety of wuys, any one of which may seem to be the real panacea for our pres ent Ills to the person wno offers the suppose*! remedy. "To my mind there are several influ enres. each contributing their part to the general unsatisfactory business situ atfbn. (he solution of which wouid assist in stabilizing conditions as iast as they could be pla <..] in operation. BETTER DEMAND FOB FARM PRODUCTS NEED. "First In importance is the solution of the question of creating a better demand for the products of the farm and range. The farmer now Is bearing more than hi* proportion of the economic burden and we must find a way to readjust this load. It cannot continue longer without serious and everlasting damage to the agricultural industry. Agriculture arid its allied occupations form t.he corner stone of a very large part of our national wealth, equaling ths total value of rll other industries combined. 'The fact that the farmer has been unable to dispose of his products, both of the field and of the pastures, during the last, year at prices that would return the original coat of production, has had a great deni to do with the underconsumption of the country during that period. It should he plain to all that one of the first things to be done to revive business is tr> place agriculture on a firm business basis, by providing credit for legitimate uses and by the extension of the limits of our present market area. "The world sorely needs the surplus of food products that have accumulated In this country oud some way should he provided whereby those starving nations which are now being kept, alive through (he henefieetire of others could be enabled to purchase our products, through a system of International credits and thus support themselves and at the same time stimulate and prevent our most important snd deserving industry from giving Into general bankruptcy. MARKET LIMITED. ‘■The trouble at present is that we are confronted with a limited market both at home and abroad. If our foreign trade could be extended, our factories would open up their doors, the wheels of industry would begin to whirl, our home market r.oitld Improve simultaneously in ft rest proportion with the foreign demand and condition* wouid begin to Improve Im mediately. "We therefore must reach the inevitable conclusion that we must cultivate a foreign demand for a part of our prod nets even tr, the extent of financing the countries needing our suppl es. We have reached the point when we must be commercial Interna ionaiists whether we like the doctrine of internationalist or not. "We are living under the influences that were created by international complications. The burden of debt under which the world now U struggling, and will continue to struggle for generation* to corue. was brought about by international itrtfe. Tha torribie woe and suffering. the bloodshed and sorrow that shocked and stunned the world, was caused by the ambition of the war lords
