WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Ac-
ceptance without qualifications by
the mine workers of Secretary of
Labor Wilson'S proposal for ne
gOtiatiOns of nationwide wage
agreement was announced at the
conference today by John Lewis,
acting head of the miners union.
Speaking in behalf of the operators
outside the central competitive field,
F. Lukins, president of the South
western Interstate Coal Operators
Association, proposed returning to the
old policy of allowing basic scale
to be negotiated by the operators and
the miners in the central competitive
states.
After long wrangie, the operators
and miners agreed to take up the set
tlement of wage and labor conditions
in the central coal fields, after they
had failed to agree on the considera
tion of the national scale as first pro
posed.
Adjourning the general conference
Secretary Wilson then called the wage
scale committee of the central field t'
meet late today to negotiate nev
wage agreement.
Operators from districts outside thl
central fields will meet at the sam.

ment arrived at by the scale com

friendly scuffle ensued between Lack
and Carlton.
The two men left the saloon and two

proceedings stopped them when they
started south, away from the line, and
told them to go across the line. The
men demurred stating they wanted to
get their car which was only fifteen OF
twenty feet in the way they were going
The policemen again headed them
from the line and when Lack started
back for his car, he was jostled against
the brick wall He swayed back against
the wall and when he swayed forward
again the policemen, evidently thinking
he was making a lunge at him fired
Both men had been drinking, but i,
was said Lack was not under the influ

Several witnesses have stated today
that the policeman kicked Mr.. Lack
after he was shot but this has not
been substantially verified.
