Thorne Holds the Agreement is
Higher Than Prices Now
Charged.
INDIANA OPERATORS WILL
GET so PER CENT ADVANCE
If Agreement Stands Coal Will
Cost Country S700,000,-

Washington. July 3.-Clifford Thorne,

ators in the Indiana field have been re-
ceiving in the last six months would
be increased more than so per cent
Mr.. Thorne declared the tentative
coal prices are from 80 to 100 per cent
greater than voluntary contracts en-
tered into within the last three
months between operators and rail-
roads for the ensuing year
we are protesting against even a
tentative price fixing agreement" +"

bodies Of three more negroes were
found. One OF the negro dead was a
two year old girl.

least 500 white men have been placed
under arrest.
One group OF negroes fleeing from
