MINERS IN NORTHERN
COLORADO TO RETURN
TO WORK ON MONDAY


Denver, Colo, Nov t5.--Practically
all of the coal miners in the northern
Colorado frields will return to work
on Monday morning, according to in
formation received by the several coal
companies, which operate properties
in that section. Even though local
coal dealers have been without coal
for several days to supply the do
mestic demands, and consumers have
been facing a fuel famine for nearly
week, the re-opening of the north
ern mines will bring relief to all fam
lies and industries needing coal
within three or four DAYS, according
to John G.. Kerr secretary of the
Colorado and New Mexico Coal Ope-
rators' association. The normal
daily production in these states IS
$4,000 tons. A production of IL, 600
tons was reported from Colorado dur
ing the week.
For several days the railroads have
been estimating the number of pas
senger trains each road could take off
to conserve coal, should it become
necessary for the railroad admins
tration to curtail service in order to
conserve fuel, but with practically al
of the Colorado mines resuming ope
ration on Monday it is not likely th;t
train service will be cut down.

INDUCEMENTS OFFERED
TEACHERS TO ATTEND
ANNUAL CONVENTION

Santa re, Nov. 15.--Rather unique
is the proposition put up by the Eddy
county board Of education to the rural
teachers, but 1t is apt to find imita-
tors in the future. The board re-
solved that the teachers be allowed
their time and railroad fare to the
state teachers association convention
at Albuquerque November "a to 26,
inclusive, upon condition that each
teacher who attends the meeting shall
make a written report to the county
board of education of the benefits de-
rived that can be made to work TO
the advantage of the school, said re-
port to be on file in the office Of the
county superintendent on or before
December 6. and to be approved by
the county board before refund of
railroad fare will be made. This is
not to include Pullman and the re-
port must be accompanied by receipt
for the one and one-third fare. At
the same meeting the board voted to
close the schools for the usual
Thanksgiving vacation. November 27
and 28, and for the Christmas vaca-
tion from the close of school Decem-
Der "a to the first Monday in January,
January 4. the vacations to be on full
time. In former years it was found
that some teachers took full advant-
age of the vacation granted them at
full pay to attend the educational con-
vention. but did not attend, or even
collected fare and spent the time visit
ing elsewhere or else having more or
less of lark at the convention rather
than attending the meetings.
The Otero county board of educa-
ton asked for a minimum wage scale
for New Mexico teachers of SIS a
week and employment twelve months
a year. The matter is to be brought
up at the meeting of the educational
convention at Albuquerque. More
and more the impression is gaining
ground that teachers are underpaid
because they are officially employed
only five hours a day, five days a
week and nine months year, when
other professions and government
employees have longer daily hours,
work six days a week and are allow
ed only two to four weeks on leave
during the year if at all. The excuse
that teachers must have time to study
and for self-improvement is pleaded
also by other professions for nova |
days few are fitted to hold a respons- |
ible job unless thought and study are
given to it outside of working hours. |

COAL MINERS AND
OPERATORS CAN'T
REACHAGREEMENT
Reject Plan TO Negotiate Ma
tion-Wide SCaIel But May
Devise Scheme to Cover
Central Competitive Field,

ny MORNING JOUR Is SPEC - Lc SEQ wiEEl
Washington, Nov. 15.-Coal miners
and operators meeting today
could not unite upon the proposal of
Secretary Wilson to negotiate ma
tionwide agreement, but did unite
upon a plan to negotiate an agree
ment covering the mines in the CEN
tral competitive field of western Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
Meanwhile the mine owners of the
outlying fields went into a separate
conference to determine how far the
central territory's scale agreement, if
negotiated, would serve as a basis for
agreements in their respective fields.
The division came after a stormy
morning of the joint session of opera
tors and miners representatives
called by Secretary Wilson in which
John l.. Lewis, acting president of the
mine workers, exchanged charges of
bad faith with several spokesmen for
the operators F. w. Lukins, speaking
for the operators, in outlying fields
presented their refusal to comply with
Secretary Wilson's proposal for ma
tional agreement, on the ground that
its negotiations would take time that
could not be granted in view of the
need for coal. President Lewis hav
ing accepted Mr.. Wilson's plan, scored
the operators for refusal. Secretary
Wilson then advanced an alternative
suggestion, for wage scale negotia-
ton in the central fields, which final
ly was accepted.
Representatives of miners in the
outlying fields contended they were
entitled to representation in any ne
gotiations regarding the central field,
since this would be used inevitably as
a basis for their contracts, and the
operators at Secretary Wilson's re-
quest, agreed to consider a possible
course and the joint conference broke
up.
At the wage scale committee con-
ference with the operators the min
ers' leaders presented again their de-
mands made originally at the Buffalo
conference consisting of 60 per cent
increase in wages, fiveday week
and a siX-hour day The operators
then decided to confer among them
selves and the conference adjourned
until Monday.
Operators Withhold Answer.
Operators in outlying districts, meet
ing separately after the conference ad-
journed, declined to make a definite
answer to the question asked by Mr..
Lewis as to whether the central COM
petitive field agreement would apply
in basic form to other districts. The
answer was withheld until the views of
other operators not in Washington
can be learned Secretary Wilson
joined in the meeting at the request
of the operators.
Operators from western Kentucky
stated that they stood ready to accept
the wage scale agreed to by the CEN
tral competitive field as a basis. Cen
trial Kentucky mine owners announced
their willingness to begin new nego-
tiations with the workers in their own
district.

Of RADICAL ISM
Attorney General Palmer Ad-
mitS Government Cannot
Deal With Anarchists Be-
cause of Statute S Weakness


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE growth
of radicalism throughout the country
was to be attributed to inadequacy of
federal laws against preaching violent
| overthrow of government. Attorney
General Palmer declared tonight in
replying to the senate's recent inquiry
as to what action had been taken by
the department of Justice to curb eff
forts to establish a dictatorship of
the proletariat," Mr.. Palmer dis
closed that the department has more
than $4,000 persons under surveillance
as radicals with whom it is unable to
cope because of weakness of present
statutes.
The attorney general urged the
passage of a law to supplement the
espionage act and to take its place
when the wartime measure ceases to
be effective. He described the pro-
posed act as being the most effective
method of dealing with sedition, an
archy and radicalism generally which
members of his staff had been able to
draft Mr. Palmer said the bill was
broad enough to stop effectualy all
attempts to overturn the existing
order and yet safeguard free speech
and the press.
Activities of the foreign language
press present another problem which
the department has been unable to
meet successfully, he said. Investi-
cations have uncovered 222 foreign
language newspapers which have
openly advocated changes in the gov
ernmental system by violence and
preached sedition.
English newspapers branded as
anarchistic and menacing by the de-
partment's agents number 105, Mr..
Palmer said. He explained that these
were much more easily dealt with as
loyal citizens are aiding the govern
ment in reporting them.

London, Nov. 15.-The adoption by
the United States senate of the reser-
walton to article ten of the league of

ficient to draw an official declaration
from the British government as to it's
attitude. 1t is pointed out that the

The position of Great Britain at the

strongly inclined to support the pact
she already has signed. The general
belief expressed here is that the sem
ate's reservation, if approved, would
necessitate a new treaty.
'If there have been any conversa-
tions between French and British
