OPERATORS DIVIDED
ON FIXING OF PRICE

Washington, Aug. 29.-Directors of
the National Coal association. meeting
mere to discuss government control of
their industry, were unable today to
agree as to whether they will accept
without protest the scale of prices
fixed for their product by President
Wilson
Two distinct factions, ii was learned,
have developed in the association
one willing to accept the situation and
the other anxious to fight the govern
ment in the courts. The operators who
are ready to sell at the prices named
are among the larger producers and
those who are showing opposition are
representing owners of small mines,
whose costs of production are high.
When today's meeting adjourned it
was announced that the opcrat tors
probably would have n definite an
nouncemcnt to make tomorrow. Those
who believe it unwise to test the Icy
hoped tonight to bring the opposition
TO their way of thinking.

Now as to the 'rustling card 1t
is the right and duty of employer to
know what kind of men are working
for him. We have adopted this sys-

are not disturbers and astators.

cause the first mine they walked out

WOULD INVADE ITALY
 THEN ON THRU FRANCE

ROME. April 20.--The predicted great offensive against Italy by the Central Powers continues to be the chief topic of discussion in military and political circles.
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg is credited with aiming at greater in- vasion of France across prostrate Italy. In this connection. General Dirossi, commander of the Monte negrin troops serving with the Italian army writes:
 A terrible and desperate attempt is in preparation against our lines. Everything foresees it and even the enemy announces it in order to in timidate us by threatening Italy with the fate of Rumania and Serbia.
 The artillery was active over the whole front. particularly between the F'rigido Valley and the northern edge of the Carso Plateau. The War oI- flee announces that all efforts of the Austrians were defeated and that a few prisoners were taken in minor engagements.

England will squeeze the blood out of our fingernails. Even if the war ended tomorrow, the bitter weeks are not over. Only one thing is left-to hold out"
