SOFT COAL MINERS
REJECT PROPOSAL
Plan of Secretary Of Labor to
End Dispute Unsatis-
factory
LEADERS JUSTIFY A STRIKE

Washington, Oct. 23.-Thc United
Mine Workers of America today
formally rejected the proposal by Secre
tary Wilson for settlement of the coal
strike called for November I.
John L. Lewis, president of the min
ors' organization. announced that the
proposal was indefinite inadequate and
failed to meet the situation.
Officers of the United Mine Workers
of America, in formal statement, de-
clared "Secretary Wilson's PROPOSE
tion and the proposition of the operators
are not only alike, but both follow
exactly the lines laid down by Senator
Frcinghuyspn in his speech in the Sen
ate in which he undertook to disclose
the basis on which the operators would
deal with the miners
This remarkable similarity" the
statement added. was at least an eX
traordinary coincidence.
Before the joint conference began it
was announced that the operators had
accepted the Wilson plan for settling
the strike.
Replying ITO appeals from several
states that some. of the mines be kept
open to supply public institutions and
utilities officers of the miners organi
zation said this was n matter for iudi-
vidual consideration. One of the ap-
peals. it was said. came from Governor
Goodrich. of Indiana.
This is something with which officers
of the association have nothing to do, -
statement by the association said,
"and the plight that the states may
find themselves in after November I
will be due to their own fault and to
the fault of the coal operators.

voted in favor of our declaration.
Information has come to me that
the employers group, in their CON
ference. voted against the declaration
by majority of one. I am quite
convinced that those employers in
that group who voted against the
declaration are unrepresentative of
the intelligent, fair minded employers
of the country.
Loree Scores Federation
L. F. Loree. president of the Della
ware and Hudson Railway Company,
and a member of the capital group. de
clared in formal statement that the
action of organized labor in withdraw
ing from the conference and 'tHe whole
history of the conference preceding il
made it perfectly clear
THAT if the American Federation ot
Labor can bring il about II will moi
be possible for any man to work in tho
United States unless he belongs to q
trade organization within the American
Federation of Labor.
THAT it will not he possible for any
men TO associate themselves in work
councils or other voluntary associations
for the purpose of collective bargaining
it being the fixed intention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor to confine the
relation between employers and employees
to their organizations.
"What the American Federation Of
Labor could not endure added Mr.
Loree. WAS the discussion of machinery
other than their own for securing the
minimum of conflict described in the
Presidents letter to the conference"
Lane Urged Continuance
Prior to the Presidents action Mr.
Lane recommended to him that the
conference continue its sessions. even
though only the representatives of the
public are present.
Bernard Baruch, chairman of the
public group, and Thomas l.. Chad
bourne, head of the committee of fifteen,
did not agree with Mr.. Lanes recon %
mendation, and their views were made
known to the President
You cannot play Hamlet without
Hamlet" said Thomas l.. Chadbourne,
head of the committee of fifteen. He
added that he planned to recommend TO
the public group that a committee be
named to formulate report to the
President and then have the group
disperse.

papa is lost to your sight he is
watching over you and guarding

Why lament the christian dying
Why indulge in tears of gloom,

In MEMORY

sad. But when we are called
upon to part with one we loved
and cherished as we did our sub
ject, it is indeed trying and we
} almost hesitate before saying,
"Thy will Lord, not ours be done
Bro. John L Long was called
home the 10th of May 1919 and
was buried atSandtown cemetery
the 18th. The large crowd OF
surrounding friends at the burial
proved his worth and the esteem
q in which he was held by them.
The writer was denied the priVi-
} lege of attending the funeral the
service being conducted by his
pastor S. e. Furry. We had
talked with Bro. Long many
times before he was called away
and his request was that we help
hold the funeral service knowing
his condition was serious and
that he could not possibly stay
here long. He had made all nee
essary preparations and was rea-
dy and waiting for the time to
/. meet his Lord. He had written
his Book of Life with such care
and with such q heart full of the
Love of God. He did not tear
death, there was no reason why
he should although stricken down
for more than a yeaa with an
acute heart trouble. He did not
complain of his suffering and was
so patient and had not quit active
work in his beloved church until
he was confined to his room and
bed some two months before he
died and in visiting him In his
home after his confinment would
request that we have, service and
prayer IN his room and would
talk about his church and the
welfare of his pastor. He was
elected steward of the Methodist
church at % years of age and
held the office until death, what
a record and in all that time his
collections were always paid in
full 1t was the writers great
pleasure to have been his pastor
for L. years at different periods.
Serving as steward he was not
satisfied with part OF the collect
ions. He always brought in his
report paid in full, and we can t
help but believe that when the
angels came to bear him away
from this sinful world, they were
the bearers of message from
God. Come on faithful one thy
report is clear. Thou hast paid
in full. Come up higher and rest
from thy labors. We think he
must be steward for his Master
in Heaven now. He was so true
and faithful serving Him here.
Bro. Long was truly great in.
fuence in the community in
which he lived. He stood for
the right and was fearless, and
numbered his friends by his ac-
uuaintance, we meyer knew any
one to have hard feeling for
him. His home was always
welcome place or old and young
Every one loved Uncle John and
Oh how he will be missed, not
only in the home of the dear
stricken ones but we will miss
him every where and more so at
his beloved Sandtown church,
where he held a lifelong mem
bership and where he so faithful
ly worked We would hardly
feel like we had gone to Sand
town church and not see his smi-
ling face and feel his hearty hand
clasp aud we krow Heaven is
brighter by his presence there.
He was a friend who did not fail
always ready at ali times about
Fathe business We can't un-
derstand Why he was taken from
us just when we need good infu-
ential men like him but some-

RULING INCREASES
TAX ON ESTATES
Court of Appeals Opens Way
to Levy on Hundreds Of
Bits of Property.
WATSON CASE Is CITED
Comptroller Free to Proceed
Against Many Estates of
Deceased.

Additional assessments will be levied
against hundreds OF estates left by
wealthy New York residents which have
been appraised in the last two years
by the officials Of the State Comptroi-
ler's department as a result OF a recent
decision of the Court Of Appeals II
was announced yesterday In state
ment issued by the Transfer Tax d.
vision, which has offices in the WOOL
worth Building.
The decision was rendered in the
Watson case. which has been watched
closely by the legal profession OF the
State since its beginning. In its rul-
ing the Court of Appeals overruled the
decision OF the Surrogates Court and
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, and held to be constitutional the
provision OF the Inheritance tax law
known as Section 221 B.
Under this section an additional in
herltance tax of per cent. Is assessed
upon all bonds of deccdent on which,
al the time of the decedent's death, IL
appears that the secured debt tax had
not been paid or the bonds assessed on
the personal property tax roll.
BY the provisions of the secured debt
law the owner of bonds can pay a tax
of $3.50 on each bond and obtain the
exemption of the bond from local taxa
ton. To compel the payment of SUCH tax,
or in lieu thereof the personal property
tax. section 221B of the tax law was
enacted. imposing an additional inheri-
tarce tax of per cent. on all bonds
not covered by the secured debt law
during the years in which the decedent
died or bonds which had not been taxed
as personal property for the period that
they were owned by the decedent.

to be unconstitutional by the Surrogate
Court and all appeal was taken by La
fayette X. Gleason, representing the
State Comptroller The Appellate Divi-
sion sustained the Surrogate, and a fur
Their appeal was taken to the Court OF
Appeals. which held the law to be con-
stitutional and operative.
AS a result of this decision the Comp
troller will be enabled to proceed against
the estates of many deceased persons
and collect an additional tax from heirs
where II Is shown that bonds were no,
