DULUTH. Minn., Oct. 17.-Director
General Walker d. Hines tonight is
sued a statement replying to resolu-
tions adopted by the Association Of
Railroad Executives recently objecting
to the position Of the director general
that the railroad administration ought
not to undertake to increase railroad
rates.
"The resolution Of the railroad ex-
ecutives in effect takes the position
that they are not willing to resort to
the permanent statutory provisions to
protect their interests but instead
they want the President to use his
emergency power so as to provide for
their compensation after Federal con-
troll, in addition to having them guar
anteed their return during Federal
CONTROL" says Mr.. Hines.
"There is no duty whatever, either
legal or moral, resting upon the rail
road administration to initiate for the
benefit of the railroad corporations
rates which IT believes to be nexped-
ent to initiate for its own benefits"

AS a result of the first days ses-

John Doe inquiry into the operations Of
alleged fake tenants associtions, it
was said last night that close rela-

At the forenoon hearing it was testi-
fed that houses had been almost com

being carried on against landlords
that tenant league representatives. had
refused to JOIN them, and that member
ship blanks in the Socialist party had
been used in writing receipts for dues
in the tenant bodies.
Judge Morris Eder of the Second
District Municipal Court, explained his
discoveries in connection with the East

Coal Miners Deny
.Srilse Threat VIII
Boost Cost of Fuel

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 17.--That there
Is no cause for reported movement to
increase the price of bituminous coal is
the assertion of the international head
quarters Of the United Mine Workers
Of america, made here to-day.
"Since the call for strike of btu
minop5 coal miners was issued by Act
ing President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America, to
become effective on November /, press
reports show that there IS movement
throughout the country to increase the
price of coal to consumers" the state
Inent reads.
ut has come to our notice that In
many places announcement is made
that the price OF coal will be advanced
5 ton this week. l.; viii be we'll for
the public to bear in mind the fact
that the strike does not take place
until November l. and that the strike
order directs all soft coal miners to re-
main at work until that date. There
wl!i be no suspension of operation in
soft coal mines before November /.
Therefore we wish the public to know
there is no reason why the price of
coal should be increased at this time.
Any such increase can only be viewed
as PLAN, everyday profiteering on the
part of those who raise the price, and
that It's only purpose can be to put
greater profits in the pockets Of those
who profit from the advance Such prof
ltsering, II carried into effect, will be
%hosy ndefensible. and the public
should bear this fact in mind.

Saturday night and Sunday.
Stirred by arrest of Maurice Mayors,
negro, charged with the killing of a
white woman, mob of more than
1000 whites stormed the Jail and the
home of the sheriff late Saturday in
search of Mayes. The prisoner was
not found in the Jail, but the destruc-
ton started by the mob resulted in
the escape of practically all of the
white prisoners in the jail.
Mobs formed quickly throughout the
city when word of the rioting spread
and attacks on negroes were frequent.
Troops, summoned to the city when
1t was found impossible to keep order
by use of police, found difficulty in
restraining the mob spirit and two ne
groes were shot down Sunday morn
ing while troops were in control. Two
of the soldiers also were killed by I'M
identified assailants.
Negroes broke into many hardware
stores and pawnshops in search Of
weapons and property owners clam
