on Man-Power Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Sumner
vacations ended, many members Of
Congress returned to Washington to-
day, in preparation for important leg
islation, which is expected to keep
Congress engrosscd until the Novcm-
Der elections, or even later.
The threeday vacation recess agree
ment of the House expires tomorrow,
and, while the Senatc's arrangement
runs until August 20, leaders hope to
set 1t aside tomorrow and get down
to work next Thursday on the man
power bill, extending the draft age
limit to eighteen and forty five years.
The death Of Minority Leader Gal
inger is expected to curtail the SEN
ate'5 session tomorrow, with plans to
adjourn OUT of respect to the veteran
Republican member and to have Con-
gTesslonal committees attend the fu-
neral.

tonight i Chairman Chambe rlain. OF
the Military Committee, is expected to
renew his request for annulment OF
the vacation agreement and ask the
senate to begin consideration rext
Thursday of the man power measure.
Delay III setting aside the vacation
agreement would postpone action on
the man power legislation until the
1CllOWlnE Monday, at least.
with the national war prohibition
measure having the right of way in the
Senate at that time under an agree
ment previously made, the man power
measure could be considered only dur
ing the early part of each deg, unless.
as is not improbable, prohibition advo-
Gates should consent to temporarily
sidetrack their measure until the ma
power bill is passed. Chairman Cham
berlain is hopeful that. despite uncer-
tainties of the situation. the bill may
he passed late this week or early next
week.
Open Hearings Planned
The man-power measure will Dc tax
en- up tomorrow by the House Mill
tary Committee, with Secretary Baker,
Chief Of Staff General March and
Provost Marshal General Crowder
scheduled to appear. The prospects
are that the bill will be passed by the
Senate before the House is called upon
to act. Chairman Dent has announced
that the hearings, at which the War De-
partment chiefs will give their views,
will be open to the public.
The war revenue bill, revised upward
near the sS,0O0,o0O 900 goal OF the
Treasury Department, is scheduled for
completion this week by the House
Ways and Means Committee. Leaders
hope to have the House begin work on
the measure not later than Monday.

water power development bill has the
right OF way in the House, with its
passage before being displaced by the

Anthracite Committee Re-
ports |. w. w. and Hun
Activity at Mines
Unions to Confer
With Government
Workers and Fuel Admin
istration Discuss Wage
Question Tomorrow
By Theodore NJ. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The call
ing OF a conference Tuesday between
leaders of the miners union and the
Fue! Administration has brought to
public attention the fact that all is
not harmony between operators and
operatives. The fact that the anthra-
cite miners are involved as we'll as
the bituminous directs attention to
the peculiarities OF the labor situation
n the hard coal districts. 1T has
sharply contradictory phases.
On the one hand, certain of the
miners are so patriotic that it is al
most impossible to get them to take
advantage of the draft exemption that
they are entitled to and that President
Wilson has appealed to them to use
On the other hand, judging from the
reports of the Anthracite Committee,
which represents the Fuel Administra-
ton in dealing with the hard coal prob
lem, there is no other section of the
country that has more bitter l. w. VS.
and German propagandsts.
At the same time the committee
praises the loyalty and fidelity of the
mon and asserts that there are no df-
fcrenccs between employers and EN-
rloyes.
Yet at mass meeting of miners the
: operators are being denounced in the
strongest language, accused Of delib
erately interfering with coal produc-
ton and imposing hard living condi-
tons on the miners. These meetings
arc under the auspices Of The United
Mine Workers.
The labor leaders insist that the
men have real grievances, but the en-
ployers say there are none and at
tribute the agitation to the work Of
the T. W. w. and Hun sympathizcrs,
masquerading as coal miners. This
work is characterized by the anthra-
cite committee "as very subtle but
none the less active propaganda to in
tcrtere with the production of anthra-
cite. 1t is giving much anxiety to the
industry, not only to the operators
who arc striving in every way maintain
anu expand tHc pIOuuCtlOi, put ItSO
20 the district presidents of the United
Mine Workers, who are constantly en-
-countering both covert and open acts
calculated to create discord in the la
Dor ranks
Acts OF sabotage are reported TO be
frequent and seditious uttcrances are
Mot uncommon. Coal cars have been
ditched and mines have been fired and
all sorts of false rumors have been set
going. "Lies by the Wholesale" says
one of the committees statements,
ARE being disseminated among the
workers, calculated to make the men
discontented. 1t was in such fashion
that German propaganda opened the
way for the big Italian drive last year"
It is realized that no more serious
internal blow could be struck at Ameri-
can war plans than to cripple or shut
down the anthracite mines, and it is
believed that for that very reason the
remnants of German propagandists and
cooperators in the United States have
concentrated their efforts in that lin
ted region.
Secret Service agents are now at
pork throughout the district and two
miners, accused of seditious utter
ances, have already been arrested.
