COLORADO COAL FIRM TO SLASH MINERS' WAGES Reverses Stand-Pat Policy; 20 Per Cent Cut ‘Due to Competition.’ Bv T'nltrd Prat* DENVER, July Rockefeller controlled Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, which two months a?o was “opposed to any reduction of wages of mine workers at this time,” prepared today “with the greatest reluctance” to cut coal minerV wages 20 per cent. Its miners are not United Mine Workers. Its wage scale under the proposed cut would be redt •rd from $6.25 to $5.25 daily. A statement by the company said the reduction Was “forced by competitive conditions." The Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, the only unionized corporation among the larger producers, has in force a wage scale about SI a day higher than the nonunion scale, its contract with the United Mine Workers has a year to run, and under it wages may be reduced when cut by a certain percentage of other operators. The C. F. & I. action, in view of ttage disputes in other coal fields, has resulted in speculation over what may happen in this field where in 1914 state militia fired into groups of striking miners, killing many men, women and children. The recent declaration against wage cuts had been hailed as a reversal cf policy since that Ludlow mastacre. In a letter to the industrial commission, dated June 2, Arthur Roeder, president of the company, made the statement about being “unquali-

fiedly opposed” to reduction of wages. “It is our conviction.” the letter continued, "that a reduction of wages and its subsequent lowering of costs of coal mining would not materially improve the output of Colorado mmes. “Consequently there would be no benefit to the operators, to the mine workers, to the state or to the communities largely dependent upon mining operations.” Thursday in a second letter to the industrial commission, the company directly reversed its stand by giving thirty days’ notice that because of “competitive and business /jnditions beyond the control of the company,” the basic wage scale of its mines would be reduced from $6.25 to $5.25 per day. “Our company was one of the last to make a reduction and did so only because it was forced to such action by competitive conditions and the general situation in the coal industry,” John C. Hamilton, secretary of the C. F. & I. said. WELLS RITES TONIGHT Eighteen-Year Resident Here to De Buried in Vincennes. Last rites for Robert E.

QUAKER SCHOOL PUPILS FOLLOW LIND'YS FLIGHT Institution Where ‘Eagle’ Studied ‘Three Rs’ Keeps Eye on Hero. BY HARRY W. FRANTZ United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 31.—When Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh pay their friendly “air calls” in far eastern countries, it is certain that no group in the world will follow their adventures with greater interest than students of the Friends’ school at Washington.

been eagerly interested in his aeronautical exploits. After his successful trans-Atlantic flight special exercises were held to commemorate the event. But the Friends’ school also hasextraordinary ties of sympathy with the countries of the far east, be-: cause of the large number of Japanese, Chinese and Americans now resident in the Orient, who attended it. The modest brick schoolhouse on I stree ! ;, in fact, seems peculiarly identified with the development of good will between the United States and far eastern countries. Most famous of the school alumni is the Princess Chichibu, who graduated in 1929, a few months prior to her marriage. She was the daughter of Ambassador Matsudaira, and during her school years made records for scholarship, athletic proficiency and personal charm which have become a “tradition” at the school. Her sister Masa also attended the school •and was exceedingly popular. Children of other distinguished diplomats from eastern countries have attended the institution. Julia, daughter of former Chinese

Minister Alfred Sze, was there six years, and her daughter Betty, a year, before the minister was transferred to London. Tlie boys of former Ambassador Shidehara of Japan attended the school. Last year Nasaru Debuehi, son of the present ambassador of Japan, graduated there, and since has entered Princeton university. The ambassador's daughter Taka is now at the sfthocl.
