light mustache. Everetts told us to
shoot when they shot at us or when we
heard shots. Smith was to use a 1890
revolver. We expected all to be killed.

protecting our hall. / do not think that

Hansen, alias Loughtenoff, the other

WAY FOR ORDERLY
COAL WAGE DEBATE
TOMORROW OPENED
Operators and Miners Form
Machinery to Discuss
Problems.
CENTRAL COMPETITIVE
BASIS MAY BE OBSERVED
Demand for 60 Per Cent Increase
Reported Despite Secretary
Wilson's Statement.

Mine operators and coal miners, in
conference here to work out agree
ments covering wage scales and work
ing conditions, formed machinery yes
terday afternoon by, which they may
start negotiations in an orderly man
ner tomorrow.
Assurance of this activity was given
late in the afternoon following a
wage-scale committee meeting, when
John L. Lewis. acting president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
William Green, secretary-treasurer Of
the organization, conferred with
Philip H. Penna and other operators
of the central competitive district
comprising the coal fields of western
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and ILL.,
nois.
The agreement covering wages and
hours in the central competitive fields
is likely to form the basis of agree
ments which will be made to cover
the outlying coal fields, including coal
mining operations in all other sec
tions of the country. This, however
is not certain. During the session of
the whole conference Mr.. Lewis asked
F. w. Lukens. spokesmen for the op-
orators Of the outlying districts, if
the operators not included in the CEN
trail competitive fields would accept
the central fields agreement as basis
for the separate agreements. Mr..
Lukens declined to reply.

the United States Senate to succeed the
late Senator Martin. rendered him yes
terday by Gov. Westmoreland Davis Of
Virginia. 1t is expected he will be sworn
in Immediately upon converting of the
Senate tomorrow.
Retirement of Mr.. Glass from the
Treasury will leave two vacancies in
the cabinet, the post of Secretary of
Commerce being vacant since Secretary
Redf1eld's retirement. The exit Of Sec
retary Glass. who succeeded William G..
McAdoo, makes the seventh change in
President Wilson's cabinet since he as
sumed Office in his first term in 1913.

Administration. Mr.. sherley was chair
man OF the House committee. on ap-
propriations for many years. is an ex-
pert on finance and is popularity re-
garded as one Of the leading and
earliest proponents Of the budget
system.
Bernard NJ. Baruch Of New York
also was suggested in the gossip of the
hour, although his disinclination to
hold a cabinet position has been ex-
pressed several times. His appoint
ment, it is said. would be highly ac-
ceptable in financial circles. and would
be agreeable to many senators. by
whom his ability and disinterested-
ness in public service are held in high
esteem.
May Promote Lefingwell.
It was suggested in official circles
last night that the President might
promote Assistant Secretary Letting
we'll to the vacant secretaryship. He
has made an enviable record in his
present position and is known to be
held in high regard by the admins
tration.
The possibility Of President Wilson
withholding appointment of a Secre-
tary Of the Treasury until Congress
convenes in regular session was also
canvassed, although such a course
would not be necessary. as his ap-
pointee could hold Office during the ex-
pected recess of Congress and there
after, unless confirmation were re-
jected. At any rate. the regular ses-
pointed out.
Welcome Awaits in Senate.
Mr.. Glass is assured of a hearty
welcome in the Senate, where he has
many friends who became endeared
to him during his long service in the
House of Representatives. and others
who became well acquainted with him
and his abilities in the work attendant
upon the preparation of the federal
reserve law. He had a great deal to
do with the framing Of that measure,
now acknowledged to be one Of the
most salutary and important financial
laws ever enacted In this country. He
fought for it during its long con
sideration in the House and again in
the conference committee.
Mr.. Glass took the Treasury port
folio with the greatest personal
reluctance, it was known at the time,
and, only after persistent urging by
the President. Not only has he made,
it is conceded on every side, a most
eficient Secretary of the Treasury,
but he has exerted great influence in
the cabinet. Since the Presidents
illness he has usually presided at
cabinet meetings and has been one
Of the Presidents mainstays in the
handling of important questions Of adj

The transfer Of Secretary Glass to

CONGRESS HOPES
TOENDITSSESS|0N
EARLY THIS WEEK
House Unable to Get Through
Yesterday, Even Had Rail
Bill Passed.

Congress hopes" to adjourn early
this week. and such leaders as
Speaker Gillett, House Leader Mondell
and Representative Kitchin say the
House ought to get away tomorrow
night or Tuesday.
The situation in the Senate yester-
not adjourn even If the Esch railroad
bill was passed, and so the House
abandoned it's night session and let
the railroad bill go over until tomor-
row for final action.
Representative Towner. republican,
of Iowa declared that possible defeat
Of the treaty" in the Senate would
require that the House join in passing
a resolution declaring that the war
is at an end"
After the Senate failed to pass q
resolution on adjournment Chairman
Esch of the interstate commerce
committee, in charge of the railroad
bill, announced that because of the
Senate situation" the night session of
the House would not be held.
The unsuccessful effort by mem
bers from interior states to write
into the bill a rigid rule for the in
depreciation of the fourth section of
the existing commerce act, relating
to freight charges on long and short
hauls, marked the debate. Their
fight was blocked when opponents de-
clared that such a rule would de-
stroy rate structures throughout the
country, without benefiting the inter-
mountain territory.
Approved "Water" Provisions.
Members friendly to the develop
ment of water transportation declared
the Esch bill would permit railroads
to kill all steamboat lines" The
House approved. however, several
provisions of the bill relating to wa
ter lines. Under one section ap-
proved. the Panama canal act for
bidding railroad ownership of steam
boats was amended to permit car
riers to own vessels on the great
lakes and long Island sound An
other amendment to the canal act,
also adopted, gives the Interstate
Commerce Commission power to di-
rect either water or rail carriers to
establish connections by building
docks or tracks.
Representative Hayden. democrat,
Arizona, made the proposal that the
fourth section Of the commerce act
be made mandatory. Representative
Sims. democrat, Tennessee. proposed
that no departure be permitted because
of water competition.
Mr.. Hayden's motion was defeated
81 to so. and Mr.. Sims 101 to 65.

Miners Leaders Bitter.


Leaders of the miners have come to
the conference very bitter in spirit
against the operators and against
the government because of the in
junction proceedings which broke the
strike called November 1. They
charge that the operators in some
fields are coercing the workers,
threatening them with violence and
bringing to bear economic pressure
which forces the miners to heed the
dictation of the operators or suffer
actual want, themselves and their
families. They declare the govern
ment brought extreme pressure to
bear upon the miners, assert that gov
ernment officials are not using the
same vigorous measures to curb law
less acts by the operators, and de-
mand that the government proceed at
once against offending operators with
the sort of sternness and speed that
throttled the strike.
The whole of yesterdays general
session was marked by charge and
counter charge of bad faith and mis-
representation between the opposing
groups. The controversy centered in
the demand of the miners that the
wage-scale and hours-of-work agree
ment should be .made on a nation
wide basis, which the operators fatty
refused to meet. After the miners at
length had accepted the proposal to
negotiate upon the basis of agree
fields, Mr.. Lewis sharply called the
attention Of Secretary Wilson to the
alleged action of operators against
miners in the southern and Colorado
fields and demanded government in
tervention.
