MINES MAY GO NON-UNION, IS OWNER'S HINT Bicknel! Area Operator Is Quizzed on Railway Conspiracy Charge. ‘By United Press WASHINGTON, March 15.—The Knox Conservation Coal Company will have to “go non-union, like every one else,” if it. is not able to make a satisfactory wage agreement with its men after April 1. 1928, when the present agreement expires, E, D. Logsdon of Indianapolis, company president, declared, testifying before the Senate coal investigating committee. The company mines more than 2.000,000 tons a year, or one-tenth of Indiana’s production, and employes about 2,200 men in normal times. Its mnies are located in the Bicknell area. Logsdon said the company now is unable to sell coal to the Pennsylvania Railroad, its largest single customer before the strike of April 1, 1927; is losing money, and is operating only part of its mines. Called to Show Conspiracy He had been called by the United Mine Workers to testify as to its charge that the Pennsylvania and! other roads were in a conspiracy to | depress miners’ wages by refusing to buy coal from union-operated mines. Logsdon testified that the Penn- 1 tylvania, formerly his largest single ;

customer, taking more than half the output of his mines, had not bought coal from him since the Knox Consolidated renewed production late last summer, telling him the road was “not in the market.” He refused, jhowever, to testify i that he believed this was due to I any hostility against union labor, ! saying that the reason given him I was that the road could “buy cheaper elsewhere.” He stuck to this j attitude, in the face of severe questioning by committee members. Counsel Is Wrathy In cross-examining Logsdon, C. B. Heiserman, vice president and general counsel of the Pennsylvania, asserted he intended to disprove the mine workers’ charge. Heiserman brought out from Logsdon the statement that the Pennsylvania never had in any way discussed or brought up the subject of union operation with Logsdon. “If he answered any other wpy, he wPuld jeopardize whatever chance he might have to get the Pennsylvania’s business,” said Senator Couzens of Michigan, bringing an angry answer from Heiserman that “the committee can believe that if it wishes.” H. A. Glover, an official of the Knox company and chairman of the marketing committee of the National Coal Association, testified that he belipved depressed prices were due to competition between operators to sell coal rather than to railroad domination.

M’CLURE BEACH MAY BE CLOSED Health Conditions Reason, Says Morgan. McClure Beach, along White River at Twenty-Sixth St., probably will be closed to bathers this season, according to indications at city hall. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health secretary, who refused permission to open the beach last summer, said he feared the municipal beach will not be sanitary this year. Morgan ordered the park department to close the resort last summer because the stream was polluted by sewage from Broad Ripple. The city plans anew sewage system for Broad Ripple, but the project will not be completed for a year. Purification of the stream by use of chlor.ne may permit opening of the beach, Dr. Morgan said. Riverside Civic League has taken steps to have the beach open this season. The organization is preparing to cooperate with other civic bodies in the neighborhood in its demand. It was indicated legal action may be resorted to. James Angelo, concession holder, filed a suit to mandate the city to open the beach last tear, but }ost. Angelo has the concession again this year.
