COAL COMP PAlIB|'|
WORK DULUl 0CKS.
ALSO AT SUPERIOR
Decision Reached That Wage
Increase Would Cause
=. ~ " Price Advance

Duluth, Sept. 4.-Decision to
operate coal docks at the Head OF the
Lakes and not to- attempt bargaining
with striking dock workers was an
nounced following conference OF
heads Of Superior and Duluth coal
companies. An increase In wages,
such as the strikers demand, would
necessitate an increase in the cost OF
coal to consumers, the spokesman for
the coal dock operators said, and 1t
was not thought that action would
be- advisable.
1--WE look upon the attitude Of the
dock workers as unfair, both to US
and to the public" H. E. Smith, vice
presideut and general manager or
the M. "a. Hanna Coal e. Dock Com
:pany. said, actlng<aa spokesman for
the. .doGxv operators, ssEhe marrow
margin upon which we are doing
business would make 1t impossible
for US to grant an increase In wages
without making q corresponding In
crease in the price Of coal and the
public is not ready for any added
pressure to the already high cost of
living.
Until the recent controversy, we
have always felt our co-workers
were always cooperating with us,
but because of their action in walk
ing off the docks while boats were be-
ing unloaded, giving our managers
practically no notice, we feel justi-
fed in operating the docks now, and
it is our intention to do so with such
help as we are able to procure" =,
"Our docks are. operating at So
per cent of their capacity. The yards
are loading 1000 cars Of. coal each
day and we are not receiving any
complaints from our customers.
1--WE have had to train new men
to many of the responsible positions
formerly occupied by the strikers. /
predict that we will be operating at
full capacity before long"
The matter Of treating with the
striking dock workers was not dis
cussed at the conference, he said.

ITINERARY OF PRESIDENT.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The speak
ing tour of the president is perhaps
the most arduous ever undertaken by
any of the nations chief executives.
1t will carry Mr.. Wilson and his par
ty as far west as the Pacific coast, al
most to the Canadian border on the
north and almost to Mexico on the
south. He will speak in every state
west of the Mississippi except four,
and will make up for the omission of
these by speeches in Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
Many Miles to be Covered.
In point of distance covered, the
tour will be almost on par with the
presidents trip to France and return,
and the members of his party expect
it to be much more strenuous because
Of its continuity and the long, fast
rides through the west
Although the detailed schedule
was held to the presidential train, it
is understood most Of the stops will
be only for three or four hours. In
Des Moines, Seattle, Los Angeles and
Louisville, however, where Sunday
stops are made the. president will
haze opportunity, for brief respites.
In Seattle he VIII review the Pacific
Fleet.
Vigorous Speaking Program.
The speech making schedule is
vigorous one from the start. After
his address at Columbus today Mr..
Wilson will go to indianapolis in
time for an evening mass meeting.
Then he will continue westward With
short stops at St. Louis and Kansas
