HOOVER SAYS DOOR TO EUROPE LIKELY
 TO BE SHUT SOON
American People Are Becoming Tired of Foreign Agitators,
 He Declares.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 12.-Tae American people are growing impat- tent with foreign agitators and un- less the attitude changes, the door that has always been open to Flu rope may be shut, Herbert Hoover declared here today in an address at the convention of asApericans of Polish ancestry.
 Many foolish ideas are being cir culated among the foreign-born popu- lation of the United States" MT. Hoover said. "Many of those for eign born are interesting themselves in the destruction of our primary in. stitutions and defiance of our laws. The American people are fast losing patience with this attitude. It may develop out of this that the 'open door towards Europe will be, in 9 large measure, closed. But worse than this, there may develop out of it a prejudice against every speaker of a foreign language in the United States. It creates prejudice against extending aid to those countries in Europe from which our foreign born population spring."
 Any needed reform in the Unitei States, he asserted, would be carried out by those whose parents have grown up amid our institutions and and those who have become in, senti- ment and spirit, part of our peo- ple"
 "It is fortunate that the Polish population of the United States have been but little influenced by these forms of agitation" he continued: "If Pole exists who has associated himself with the organizations that devote themselves to the destruction of our institutions, that Pole is not only disloyal to the United States, but he is endeavoring to paralyze the arm that is supporting the inde- pendence of his own mother country. Those who are dissatisfied always can choose the alternative of return ing to the countries from which they came"

Washington, Nov much of the

war are poured daily into the bureau
of war risk insurance, which has the
enormous task of administering the
insurance and allotment accounts of
all men in the military service
AT the first of the month the letters
arrive at the rate of 140.000 day lat
er falling to 10000 or $4,000. Between
1900 and 100000 pieces Of mail are
sent out daily. Pc iittances cs insur-
ance premiums numbered l,2c2,782
between July IA and October Z, having
a value of $9,784,1S6.
Handling such tremendous guam
tity of mail, dealing with men whose
names in scores of instances are iden-
teal necessitates the most punctilious
accuracy to assure that the proper ac-
count is credited. One mother who
wrote TO ask about an allotment made
by her son, was asked to be more spe-
cific in identifying the soldier. She
wrote back, somewhat indignant in
her motherly pride:
"You must have noticed Jim, be-
cause he's six feet tall"
The bureau is constantly reminding
persons with whom it has dealings to
send notification of any change of adj
dress. One person took this injunction
very literally.

COAL OUTPUT NOT
CUT IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN PRICES
Operators Use Statement of
Miners Union President to
Refute Statement Of Comp
erS, A, F, Of L, Chief,

Icy MORNING JOURNAL SPEC AZ LEASED w1REl
Washington, Nov 3.-What John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, said at
Buffalo in September, regarding a re-
port that coal production was being
reduced in order to maintain prices,
was quoted today by operators by way
of a reply to a recent statement bear
ing on the same subject by Samuel
Gompers.
The executive committee of the BIZ
luminous coal operators of the cen
trail competitive field, said Gompers
had charged that soft coal operators
had "conspired to curtail production
The denial by Lewis was presented 20
offset the charge.
The Operators Statement.
The statement follows.
"In a recent statement President
Gompers, Vice President Won and
Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor, charged that the
bituminous coal operators of the Unit
ed States had been conspiring to cur
tail production and maintain coal
prices to the consumers. In connec-
ton with this statement the follow
ing excerpts from the official tran
script of the proceedings of the Joint
conference of coal operators and coal
miners of the central competitive
field held at Buffalo, N. ", Septem-
Der 20, 1919, are of public interest;
philip Penna, spokesman for the
operators at the joint conference,
said:
notice that since coming to this
conference the coal miners are re-
ported to have told the representa-
tives of the press that the operators
have been purposely cutting down
their production for the purpose of
maintaining prices.
What Union Leader Said.
"In reply, John l.. Lewis, acting
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, said;
:" 4 want it written into the records
that neither in Buffalo or anywhere
else have l ever charged the operators
with shutting down the mines 10
maintain coal prices. l would not say
such thing, because do not be-
lieve it is true. Neither do I believe
that any number of the mine workers
delegation would make such state
ment and | am quite sure that no re-
sponsible agent of the mine workers
in Washington or anywhere ever made
such a statement? On the other hand,
have denied ii for the operators. /
denied it to the director general OF
railroads, Mr.. Hines; I denied 1t to
other people who have discussed the
question when charges by inference
and implication were made to the eff
feet before the senate committee and
other places in washing.
of any such statement appeared
in a Buffalo paper it was unauthor-
lied, unfounded and untrue; 1t was
not given by me, and | am quite sure
was not given by any of my associ-
ates. We would not do it, because |
say again we do not believe the opera
tors have done anything of that char
acter.'
