ARBITERS DEFINE. OPERATOR MINER
 PENAL PROVISIONS
Increased Production Key note of Ruling, and the Elimination of Slackers
 From All Camps

Knoxville Tenn. May 2S.-(Special) The board of permanent arbitration consisting of two operators and two rep resentatives of the miners and referee selected by them under the agreement of the operators and miners with the fuel administration has handed down the fol- lowing ruling with respect to the pen~ atty provision of the Unted States fuel administration agreement
 The following is the interpretation placed by the permanent arbitration board upon the words without good cause:"
 .@While we feel it is impossible to draw up any hard and fast rule, that ques tions of this character should be set. tied on their merits, We do rule that when an employe absents himself on the plea of sickness, he should be required to produce a doctors certificate. When a man is really sick, and for that reason absents himself, his reason or excuse is a valid one, and as it is not the inten- ton of the agreement that men who really have good cause for absence should be penalized, that as the penalty provision is only meant for slackers, the honest man cannot complain because he is required to provide a doctors certifi- cate it being well-known that the plea of sickness is often made the slacker's excuse, when in reality he is not sick
 Tt is quite usual and common practice for men to absent themselves because of a death in the camp. Men in such cases who absent themselves to attend the flu neral should be excused, but those who remain idle, but do not attend, have no valid excuse. If men who make excuses for idleness would remember that on the battlefield of Europe hundreds are dying daily and that their comrades fight on. no idle excuses for not work nig would enter their minds.
 Men often lie idle on the plea that a member of the family is sick. If on such occasions mans S presence in the home is really necessary, and he stays home to take care of the sick, his ex- cuse is a valid one, but if he is not really needed in the home and does not stay there but loafs around, his excuse can not be accepted.
 "Working in the garden is not valid excuse, because a man can give all the attention necessary to the garden be- fore and after work hours.
 Men with farms when land must De plowed or crops gathered should be ex- cused. though this work should be at- tended to whenever possible on days when the mine is not in operation.
 ''It is not necessary to further enum- crate the many and varied excuses that are constantly given; suffice it to say, under no circumstances can a man prop erly plead he has good cause for idle ness unless he can show it was impos- sible for him to work.
 Tn a few words, the intention of th' agreement is, and the desire and de termination of every operator and mine should be, to daily produce every to- of coal that it is possible to produce, al ways remembering and never forgetting that it is the duty of every loyal citi zen to exert himself to the utmost of hi ability, to supply the coal and othe necessaries that must be produced in or

 If men will do their duty if they will take these things to heart, few indeed will be affected by the penalty pro vision. and those who in critical times like these do not think can only be classed as slackers, and that class cer- tainly deserves a far greater penalty than the s1 per day fine provided in the penalty provision.

Dentist, Charged With
 Murdering Wife, Will
 Tell Story on Stand

Richmond, May 23,-Dr. Lemuel John son of Middlesex, N. C., dentist, charged with the murder of his bride of three months. will take the witness stand in Hastings court tomorrow morning. He was expected to testify today but at the last moment attorneys for the de- fense determined to call other witnesses.
 The defense scored a point late today when it obtained an admission from De- tective w. J. Courtney that Johnson did not make a confession of murder as testified to by A. Floyd Gill, Wash ington newspaper man, who testified that Johnson had admitted to him he mur- dered his wife to prevent her family ob- taining s12,000 life insurance which he carried.
 Courtney testified he was on his way to Washington when he read of the pur-

ported confession of Johnson. He re- turned at once and met the newspaper man, who informed him he would like to obtain a confession from Johnson, as he was fin Dutch" with his paper and wanted a scoop" to get him in right.
 Gill was one of the first witnesses called by the defense today and when confronted by Courtney, testified he had never seen the man before, and re- iterated his testimony of several days ago that Johnson had confessed to him.
 A number of character witnesses were called and all spoke highly of Johnson.
 Counsel for the defense announced at the close of the session that Johnson will be put on the stand early tomorrow.
