COAL BOSSES ARE ASSAILED FOR 'ATTITUDE' Western Operator Disappointed at Refusal to Work With Government. Bn Scripps-Howard Sexcspaptr Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Until the coal mining industry is willing to admit the element of public interest in business, there is little hope that it will outline or accept ■ constructive program, declares Merle D. Vincent, Colorado coal operator. As vice-president and executive fnanager of the Rocky Mountain fuel Company of Denver, Vincent is engaged in operating union mines in the midst of powerful nonunion competitors, including the Rocke-feller-owned Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The Rocky Mountain Fuel Company is headed by Miss Josephine Roche of Denver, and is the only company in the state paying the Jacksonville wage scale and operating under a contract with the United Mine Workers of America. It has not cut wages. Company Is Disappointed "Our company was disappointed at the failure of the bituminous operators to accept the invitation to a conference extended by the secretary of commerce and secretary of labor,” said Vincent. "That in itself showed the disinclination of the industry to cooperate with the government in the attempt to solve its ills. Unfortunately, ownership and management are opposed to any interference or regulation by the government. Vincent stated that experience in operating under a union contract, with a basic wage scale of $7 a day, had shown that costs were reduced and production increased. Output Is Increased For the nine months oi 1931 ended with September, he said, coal production throughout Colorado had declined 21 per cent, while the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company had increased its output 3 per cent over that of the same period a year ago. The company is keeping 700 men employed. "No industry,” said Vincent, “can operate without three indispensable factors, capital, technical skill and management, and labor. Each has n right to security and constant income, adequate to maintain proper living standards. "The right of labor to a voice in the conditions under which it is employed is an essential element m this system.” LAUD RAIL VETERANS Fennsy Employes’ Order Elects E. B. Reed as New President.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BLAME ILLNESS FOR LONG SEIGE OF HICCOUGHING Ohioan Improved on 13th Day of Spasms; Gets Six Hours’ Sleep. By United Press MANSFIELD. 0., Nov. 20.—Hiccoughs which have racked Ira A. King, wealthy auto dealer, since Nov. 7, are one of the symptoms of a disease from which he is suffering, an attending physician revealed today. The physician, who asked that his name be withheld, also revealed for the first time that the victim has hiccoughed intermittently for several months. For the last thirteen days the attack has been continuous, the patient hiccoughing an average of seven times every sixty seconds. “Hiccoughs in this particular case are the symptoms of another condition in the body, which has improved steadily during the last twenty-four hours,” the physician said. “Diagnosis of the case has proved that the hiccoughing has not originated from a neurosis.” He declined to identify the malady inducing the hiccoughs, although previously it had been said to be an infection in the abdominal tract, which might necessitate an operation. "King slept at least six hours Thursday night,” the doctor said. "His appetite has been normal since he was admitted to the hospital, but he has not eaten regularly, because we believed it was not best for his condition.” 1 The physician expressed gratitude

for the vast interest that has been displayed in the case evidenced by thousands of letters and telegrams which have flooded the sick room with suggested remedies. Wired offers have been received from physicians in Kansas City, Houston, Texas and other western cities to fly to Mansfield and assist with their services.
