NO PEACE IN COAL FIELDS i AFIER YEAR .Twelve Month’s Dispute Has Had No Effect on Prices. BY ROSS DOWNING United Press Staff Correspondent PITTSBURGH, Pa.. March 31. Bituminous coal operators and unionized labor have battled one another for twelve months in the central competitive fields. One year ago today several hundred thousand miners in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, put aside their picks and shovels with the expiration of the Jacksonville wage scale agreement which assured them of $7.50 for each day of work. In twelve months much has happened in the striking camps. But whether such happenings have brought the disagreement nearer a settlement remains a question. Fight to Break Union The United Mine Workers of America and the operators have reached agreements in some instances in Illinois and Indiana and production with union labor has been resumed, at least temporarily. But in Ohio and Pennsylvania developments have been different. Both operators and union have been firm in their demands and aloof in their attitude. While most of the Ohio mines have remained idle. Pennsylvania operator’s have made rapid strides in the resumption of production on an open shop basis. In the Pittsburgh district, the cradle of unionized labor in the soft coal industry and for years the stronghold of the United Mine Workers of America, the most desperate battle of all has been waged. The Pittsburgh Coal Company, the largest producer of soft coal in the world, has led the fight to break the union. It has been followed closely by the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation. No Fuel Shortage Unlike most disputes between capital and labor in American industrial history, the present coal strike has had little or no effect upon the consumer. There has been no fuel shortage and so far as price of coal is concerned, $1 today will buy just as much bituminous product as it would a year ago. Approximately 275,000 persons, 200,000 of whom are termed noncombatants are involved in the Ohio and Pennsylvania fields, Colston B. Warne, assistant professor of economics of the University. of Pittsburgh, has estimated. Professor Warne believes 30,000 are on strike in the Pittsburgh district, 10,000 in central Pennsylvania and 35,000 in Ohio. After visiting the mining camps of Pennsylavnia, Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana declared “The hillsides of Pennsylavnia are the most fertile breeding ground for bolshevism I have ever seen.” LASHES SCHORTEMEIER Secretary of State Attacked by Adams as Steve’s Crown Prince, Bp Times Special LA PORTE.

Reproduction Basis for Ex-Corporation Counsel’s Book Traces History of Regulation. The late William Jennings Bryan, as a representative of the public of Nebraska, was the first attorney to use the argument that utilities should be valued for rate-making, purposes upon the “reproduction new” theory. This is the theory which practically all utilities demand now. This is one of the interesting facts brought out in “Public Utility Rate Making,” anew book by Taylor E. Groninger, former corporation counsel of Indanapolis, published by Bobbs-Merrill. The Union Pacific railroad had built a line through Nebraska, costing SIOO,OOO a mile. Came the Cleveland panic. The railroad went to U. S. Supreme Court with a contention the Nebraska legislature had fixed its rates too low. The panic had so reduced prices that the railroad could have duplicated the line for $30,000 a mile. Along came Bryan and argued that the reproduction new theory should prevail.* The situation is reversed today. Prices now are so mu<yr higher than they were when most utilities were established that the utilities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for expert talent to convince courts that the theory originally propounded by Bryan on behalf of the public should prevail. Groninger’s book traces utility rate regulation from the first Supreme Court decision recognizing the right of the public to exercise such control in 1877 to the most recent cases, covering every important point. He takes occasion to point out some of the needs in fair regulation of rates such as that municipalities should be represented by lawyers of equal ability and with the same kind of expert assistants as are the utilities. Gathered Material Five Years The author has been gathering material for the work for five years. Five years ago he was named corporation counsel by the late Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank. Without much previous corporation law experience he had two months in which to study at least the rudiments of law required in his mansized job. . Groninger went into office facing several important utility rate increase cases. Defeated in the first case he put up a vigorous battle for funds from city council with which to hire experts in the next one. The council grudgingly gave him $5,000. He made such a record in the two years and seven months he was in office that the Public Service Commission employed nim to supervise the valuation of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company. He carried on this work for a year and a half. He was ill for scvcial months thereafter. Recuperating a few months ago he gradually returned to private practice, completing his book meanwhile. • INDIANA MAN ACCEPTS POST IN NEW ENGLAND Herman M.

In the immediate vicinity of this city, several operators have signed agreements. The latest is the Ft. Harrison Mining Company. The same is true of the Wabash, Bardyke and Talleydale pits.

WHEN REICHSTAG ENDS LIFE TODAY MANY BILLS DIE Short Term Marked German Entrance Into League; Tariff Boosted. BY ERIC KEYSER United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, March 31.—Internal political differences mainly concerning cultural items like educational reform caused premature termination of Germany's , third postwar Reichstag today, nine months before expiration of the constitutional four-year term. Dui-ing its lifetime, the third Reichstag witnessed the birth of four cabinets. The first and last, the Nationalists, wielded v decisive power for the first time since the revolution, while the Socialists, also for the first time was the opposition party throughout. Boost Protection Tariff This status is clearly reflected in the Reichstag’s decisions during the two epochs of Nationalist participation in government. The Reichstag adopted high protective tariffs, chiefly on agricultural products, and revalorized war bonds and other government and private obligations. If the Nationalists suffer a setback in the general elections May 20. it probably will be because the l’evalorization was considered insufficient. On the other hand. Nationalist participation in government facilitated ermany’s foreign policy which, during the latest Reichstag term, was marked by the signing of the. Locarno Pact, and the called Berlin treaty with the Soviets. eGrmany’s entry to the League of Nations and the coxxclusion of numerous commercial ti’eaties. Many Bills Unfinished Because of differences which have been acute during the last four months, also evidenced in the cabinet itself, the Reichstag has left unfinished numerous bills, most important of which are the education reform bill and revision of the penal code. The budget, Agrarian relief and other pressing legislation were hurriedly passed by a special emei-gency program. The coming elections, it is. believed. will result in loss to the Nationalists and gain to the Socialists and, to a lesser extent, the Communists. However, the next Reichstag probably will have the same complexion as the preceding one. The German electoral system, based on publicity, prevents election landslides.

DENEEN BACK OF DRY RAIDS, THOMPSON SAYS Charges Federal Drive 've to Win Votes by Intimidation. BY C. C. NICOLET l United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 31. Verbal blasts supplanted bombs in Chicago’s pre-primary campaign today and hostilities between rival political factions centei’ed in a dispute between the city administration and Federal prohibition authorities. The dispute arose over the shooting of William Beatty, municipal court bailiff and Republican ward leader, who was wounded by Federal prohibition agents in a raid on a south side saloon Thursday night. The shooting was linked with the political war by charges of Mayor William Hale Thompson that his political rival. United States Senator Charles S. Deneen was using his influence to direct intensive Federal prohibition drives in Chicago as a means of "political intimidation.” Thompson, allied with State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe and Governor Len Small against the Deneen Republican faction, charged the special details of prohibition agents, ordered here recently from Washington, were going about the city “threatening those who did not promise to support the Deneen ticket in the April 10 primary.” ROUDEBUSH IS NAMED TO SUCCEED GLADDEN French Lick Superintendent Appointed to State School Post.
