Dr. Wiley speaks in his statement of "the interestsp which were found by him to be engaged in the manufacture of misbranded or adulterated foods and drugs.
 "One by one says Dr. Wiley, T found that the activities pertaining to the bu- reau of chemistry were restricted and various forms of manipulated food prod ucts were withdrawn from it's considera- ton and referred either 10 other bodies not contemplated by the law or directly relieved from further control"
 "Ths official toleration and validation of such practices have restricted the ac- tivty of the bureau of chemistry to a very narrow field. as result of which l have been instructed 10 refrain from stating in any public way 'niy opinion regarding the effect of these substances upon health. This restriction has in- terfered with my academic freedom of action on matters related directly to the public welfare.

Unless an agreement Is reached by that date. each side admits, lso,o0 hard coal miners in Pennsylvania will cease work.
 No Chance of Compromise
 lc there is any chance of compromise 1t was not shown today. President John Muite of the miners organization and ils colleagues said they considered the case hopeless so far as avoiding suspension of work, and prepared to return home to- morrow.
 The operators committee received the reiterated demands of the miners, offered in response to the operators reply with out comment. further than that they re- gretted the miners stand After adjourn ment George r. Baer notified President White that tho operators committee would meet the miners at any time, but regarded II impossible to coneede the de- mands.

 The bituminous miners have asked for a 10 per cent increase and the operators have offered to make a new agreement reducing wages 10 per cent.
 we expect 10 get the increase in the bituminous section," Mr. White said to- night "Should the unexpected happen, however, there is little doubt that the btuminous men will also favor strike. or that the policy committee would recom- mend such action.
 "The policy committee will probably deal with the anthracite situation for the best interest of tho whole organization.
 "The suspension of the work in anthra- cite fields will automatically go into eff feet April 1 unless a new agreement is reached"
 In "statement to the public" issued tonight, the anthracite operators commit tee reported the decision that they can not advance wages unress reeouped through an advance in coal prices to the public which they do not consider warranted by anything in the condition Of the mine workers under the present agree ment.

Regarding his disappointment that those who brought the charges Of which he was exonerated last summer were not dismissed. he says:
 ''I naturally expected that those who had made these false charges against. me would no longer be continued in position which would make a repetition of such action possible. The event, how ever. has not sustained my expectations in this matter. ! was still left to come into daily contact with the men who secretly planned my destruction.'
