THE CoAL-FTxING SCHEME
AND It INEQUALITIES

. ANo fbs atEa ALI tE4@
Complaints Of the effects OF gov
ernmental regulation of the price Of
coal az the mines are being received
at Washington from many quarters.
The statement is freely made that
a price Of So n ton at the mine for
hituminous coal will force many of the
small mines to shut down. as they
cannot produce the eoal at that price.
A group Of Birmingham coal opera
tors appeared before the federal trade
commission today to present their side
Of the case. Many operators have also

figures on which the prices are based,
They are Also anxioas to learn why
they we're not given a hearing before
the prices were fixed.
AS a result Of the hearings row be-
ing held. the federal trade commission
will send inspectors TO the mines for
the purpose OF verifying the state
ments made as TO the cost Of produc-
tion. These inspectors will look into
all features OF the conditions Of pro-
duction, including the rates OF wages
paid to labor and other related fea-
lures,
1t is virtually assured that relief
Will be given by the federal trade conn
mission where such is necessary. This
naturally means a concession that will
permit higher rates at certain mines
should the present prices nxed by the
government be found conhscatory.
Incidental TO the drive from all quar-
ters, the hituminous operators from
Michigan have cited the absence of
prices for Michigan mines as evidence

An important phase OF the argument
advanced by the operators is that the
prices at tho mines as they nov stand
will necessarily force the smaller
mines to close down. and thus In the
aggregate serve TO decrease materially
the coal output.
Indications are now that this fea-

MENACE, PROPOSED
MEASURE ASSERTS
Amendment to Bill Against
Unlawful Associations Pro-
vides Imprisonment for
Membership in Them.

Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 30.-
Having found the Unlawful Associa- :
tons Act of 1916, which was aimed
at the Industrial Workers of the
World, inefficient to cope with the
activities of that organization, the
Hughes government introduced a bill
in parliament the middle of July to
make the law more drastic. Although
not officially stated, the amendment
of the original law intended practi-
cally to outlaw the order or the In
dustrial Workers of the World was
prompted by two mysterious but sus-
picious explosions which all but sank
steamer bound from Sydney for
England just after she had left sgd
ney early in July.
Reward for Information.
In the belief that explosives were
concealed in her hold in order to
wreck her, while the vessel was be-
ing loaded with cargo at Sydney, the
New South Wales state government
offered a reward of $4,000 for in
formation which would lead to the
conviction Of the supposed conspira-
tors.
In explaining the amending bill in
the house Of representatives the
prime minister, William M. Hughes,
said there was abundant evidence
that the Industrial Workers Of the
World organization was still very ac-
lively at work in Australia and the
measure would enable the authorities
to deal with 1t forthwith. Mr.. Hughes
described the Industrial Workers as
"a menace to this and every other
country
To Deport Foreigners.
The bill, he continued, provided for
six months Imprisonment of whoever
became member of an unlawful as
sociation: for the deportation of 9TH
er than Australian-bo born British SUBJ
jects; for the prevention of circula-
tion Of literature Of ansunlawful asso-
citation; and for the searching Of
premises suspected Of being used by
an unlawful association. Further
more. any member of the federal pub
lie service who was an Industrial
Worker would be put out Of that
service.
A few days after Mr.. Hughes
speech the police in Sydney made
sweeping raid on the headquarters of
the Industrial Workers Of the World
in Australia which are in that city.
They seized quantities of literature
and searched about 500 men and
women whom thSy found In or near

for holding the national peace conven-
tion of the Peoples Council of Amer
lea, at Hudson, Wis, were virtually
abandoned tonight by Louis p. Loch-
ner. executive secretary of the coun-
Gil, who returned here shortly before
midnight frto Hudson, where he was
escorted to q train by citizens.
Where the meeting will be held now
is problematical, Mr.. Lochner said
He stated that Milwaukee and Chi
cago were under consideration but un-
til he hears from members of the
council now en- route from New York
on a special train, no decision will be
made.
I'VE went to Hudson to state our
position to the mayor and the city
council" said Mr.. Lochner on his ar
rival here.
When We arrived there, we were
told that the mayor and council were
discussing our proposed meeting in
executive session.
The mayor refused to see me at
that time and later called me on the
telephone, saying that the council had
no desire to hear what we had to say.
Where we will go now Is hard to
say at present" Mr. Lochner said.
I'VE have an invitation from the may
or Of Milwaukee and are considering
that city. We also have in mind Chi
cago. Several of our meetings in that
city recently have been very success
full and 1t is possible that we might
meet there"
Asked II Fargo, N. D., would get the
meeting, the executive secretary re-
plled that 1t was unlikely.

Navy League Issues Full
Apology for Statements
Made Regarding Mare Is
land Investigation.
INQUIRY NOT HAMPERED
TO SLIGHTEST DEGREE
Believed Action Taken Will
End Bitter Controversy Be-
tween Department and Col.
Johnson.

tsf MORNING JouHsAl SPECIAL LEASED wisrl
Washington, Aug. 30.--In a state
ment today the Navy league announc-
ed its acceptance of the report OF the
naval board on the Mare island ex-
plosion and expresses regret that in
former statement it gave currency
to an opinion that the investigation
was being hampered by the navy de-
partment under the influence of pow
crful labor interests. The former
statement led to the bitter controversy
between the league and the navy Of
ficials.
Makes Full Apology.
The leagues statement also regrets
that in referring to labor influence it
was not made clear that it did not
refer to the standard labor unions, but
to "the Germanized /. w. W." The
statement, issued with the approval
Of Col. Robert NJ Thompson, presi-
dent of the league. says the organi-
zation is convinced there were mo
hampering Instructions or restrictive
directions as to the method of investi-
gation.''
While the navy department was in
vestigating the explosion which killed
five and injured more than thirty in
July, the league issued a statement
declaring a reliable informant had
told them a time fuse leading to the
black powder magazine had been
found but investigation was being
blocked By powerful labor influences.
Fact as Claimed. s
The issuance of the statement
caused a bitter controversy with Sec
retary Daniels, who at once cut all
connections with the Navy league, or
dered all it's members excluded from
naval ships or stations and refused
to accept for the navy contributions
of comforts being made for seamen
by thousands of women throughout
the country.
The official report of the Mare is
land disaster, made public a little
later, confirmed the finding of the
time fuse and charged q criminal con-
spiracy by persons unknown, but de-
MED that the investigators worked un-
der any restrictions.
The leagues acknowledgment and
expression of regrets is expected to
lead TO a resumption of relations with
the navy.
