REBEL MINERS OF
STATE CONTINUE
TIL EIR MEETING

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 2O.-Strik-
ing Illinois coal miners this morn
ing began the second day of their
convention here called as a protest
against present state miners Of
fcials.
1t was the belief of convention
leaders that all of today md tomor-
row would be consumed by bust
ness relating to desired wage scale
changes, constitutional revision
and other issues.
Word went out from the strike
leaders today for all miners, idle
as a part of the insurgent move
ment, to retur nto work tomorrow
in accordance with action of the
convention late yesterday. Oper-
ators were warned that discrimina-
tion against strikers would not be
tolerated.
Decision to return to work, it
was stated, resulted from the move
of international officers to bring
about a meeting of miners and op-
orators to negotiate a new scale
at Buffalo, N. Y, on September 25.

PACKERS HAVE
THEIR INNING
Opponents of Legislation To Regu-
late Meat Industry Testify Be-
fore Senate Today.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Opponents
of legislation providing for regu-
lation of the meat packing industry
were heard today when the senate
agricultural committee resumed
consideration of the subject.
William r Nardin of st. Louis,
manager of a milk condensory, OBJ
jected to federal licensing on the
ground that other industrial estab-
lishments would be required to
submit to reulation. The situation
from the retail butchers stand
point was presented by Emmanuel
Wasserman of Norfolk, Va.
"Any legislation that hurts the
packers will hurt the retailer and
the business" he said. I've al
ways found the packers fair and
square"
Senator Kenyon, Republican,
Iowa, asked if packers representa-
tives hadn't urged the witness to
appear.
"They talked to me about it," he
said, but 1 was interested my
self"
SIS there any complaint from
Norfolk consumers about prices
and profiteering?"
"Yes, all the time. / don't doubt
some retailers are prof1teering."
do the packers maintain uni
form prices?' asked Senator Page,
Republican, Vermont.
'No, some times they are in line,
and some times they are not"

LET DEAD REST
SAYS PERSHING
''If Soldiers Could Speak They
Would Wish to Remain Where
They Fell" He Believes.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-GeneraI
Pershing, in a cablegram to the
war department, has expressed the
opinion that the bodies of Ameri-
can soldiers, who died abroad
should be left near where they
fell.
Il believe that, could these SOL
diers speak for themselves, they
would wish to be left undisturbed
where, with their comrades, they
fought the last fight" General Per-
shing said. Those who rest in
England gave their lives in the
same cause and their remains rep
resent the same salvation as those
who lie on the battlefields.
THE graves of our soldiers con-
stitute, if they are allowed to re-
main, a perpetual reminder to our
allies of the liberty and ideals upon
which the greatness of America
rests. 1 think the sentiments above
outlined are held by many who
have discussed this subject thor
Oughly. They recommend that
none of our dead be removed from
France unless their nearest rela-
tives should demand after a full
of all the senti-
reasons against such re-
moval and further recommend that
immediate steps be taken for per-
improving and beautify-
ing our cemetaries.

PALMER NOT FOR
"PRICE FIXING"
Proposed Plan To Empower Presi-
dent To Regulate Cost Opposed
BY AttOrney-General.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Proposed
amendments to the food control act
which would authorize the presi-
dent to fix wholesale and retail
prices of certain commodities were
strongly opposed today by Attorney
General Palmer.
Appearing before the house agri-
cultural committee to urge speedy
enactment of additional laws to
help reduce the cost of living, the
attorney general declared such ex-
ecutive power would be too dras-
tic, and would provoke so much de-
bate in congress as to delay pass
age of other amendments suggested
by the department of justice.
The department has recommend
ed that provisions of the food con-
troll act to be made applicable to
wearing apparel, fuel and fertilizer,
with heavy penalties for profiteer-
ing.
Armed with an anti-profiteering
law, the department, Mr.. Palmer
told the committee. could obtain
specific indictments in various
cities which would make unneces-
sary a far-reaching fight against
high prices"
Mr.. Palmer contended the presi-
dent could not fix prices without
the food administration, reorganiz-
alton of which he added, would be
too slow and expensive.
IAN anti-profiteering law, i'm
posing a fine of $4,000 and two
years Imprisonment for violations,
is the best method of combating
high living COSTS" he said.
