KERR SETS ASIDE RuMoRs.
Does Not Think Much of the Suits
 Against Coal Land Lessees.

New York, October 7.--John B. Kerr. general counsel for the New York, On tario and Western Railway, speaking of the report from Boston that certain New England owners of coal mining properties In the anthracite field Nin Pennsylvania that are held under lea. by the opera tors are talking of beg g.hning suit to break the leases because their royalties have stopped since the strike began, had this to say of the matter:
 Tn the first place there are very few New England owners of coal lands in Pennsylvania. Then all the leases, so far as I know, contain strike clauses. They provide that in case of a strike when the lessee Is willing to pay the prevailing wages to his employees, he Is excluded from the payment of royalties during the strike
 The leases also provide that the lessees are excluded from paying the royalties in case of an accident at mine that prevents the mining of coal, OF in case trouble on the railroads makes 1t impos- sible to transport the coal
 "In other words, all the leases I know anything about place the lessee in the position in which the owner would be placed If he were operating the mines.
 If an operator attempt to cut the wages of his men to less than the prevail ing wages and they strike, he Is not ex- cluded by the strike clause. But in the present instance the operators are willing to pay the prevailing wages and are ex- cluded from the payment of royalties
 The Churchman's association which in- cludes more than 100 of the representa- tive protestant Episcopal clergymen of the diocese of New York today passed these resolutions:
 Whereas, the present coal famine is the cause of widespread distress and great industrial disturbance. involving possible consequence of unprecedented gravity.
 And whereas, the public deprivation of a necessity of life raises an issue which is above the merits of any private quar- rel
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we rec ognize with gratitude and appreciation the patriotic action of the president of the United States in his endeavors to con- cilate the conflicting interests.
 And further be 1t resolved, that we pledge to the President our heartiest moral support in his further efforts to secure justice for the public"
