MINE OWNERS ARE
PROFITEERING
Miner Reported as Saying Strike
VIII Be of Short Duration,
as Demands Are
Unjust.

GRAND JUNCTION, Ia, Oct. 30
sensational disclosure relative to
the impending coal strike is made
by Editor R. NJ Lanpman, of the
Globe, here.
at interviewed well posted miner
in Dallas county" said Mr. Lamp
man, land ! am satisfied IL there Is
strike it will be OF short duration.
THE miner stated to me that the
miners knew their demands were
out Of all reason and were advanced
to furnish basis for negotiation
THE miners are not responsible
for the situation.
THE operators have taken advan-
tage of the prevailing high prices in
other commodities and have advanced
prices of coal 55 cents a ton without
giving the miner cent of the adj
vance.
THE miners are receiving no more
wages than heretofore, although coal
has kept climbing.
Boone coal could be put on track
at $3.50 ton, at a nice profit. If
this coal could be laid down in bins
at So or little more, who is receiv-
ing the difference between that fig
ure and the 81 and So the operator
is receiving?
at seems strange that the fnves
legations Of the government have
not disclosed this huge profit-making
scheme.
why is It possible for private
citizen to get the facts and the gov
eminent be denied the same'
Government Investigations are
seemingly a farce"

Color Of Hearst's Liver.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The battle
between Governor Alfred Smith and
William Randolph Hearst was con-
tinued here today, following bitter
denunciation of Hearst by the COVER
nor in speech last night at hall to
which he had invited the publisher to
meet him in debate.
Referring in his speech to Hearst,
the governor declared:
~ know he has not got drop of
good, clean, pure, red blood in his
body and l know the color of his
liver 1t is whittier, If that could be,
than the driven snow"
The New York Journal, Hearst
newspaper, today published list of
questions it had asked the governor,
under the heading questions Governor
Smith did not answer"

making even more effective the 1000
and fuel control act
The suspension of the restrictions
as to the price of coal is not neces'
sarily permanent and conditions war
I rant a renewal of these restrictions az
this time; and yet the government, u
/ 1t reinstates the order fixing a maxi
mum price, would be absolutely help'
\ less to protect the people against ex-
orhitant prices Of the product II tn$
contracts made under its SANCTION
should now be deliberately broken.
This does not mean that cnanse
could not be negotiated. and either
agreed upon or arbitrated, If proper
protection Of the public be accorded IN
| the settlement. but 1t does mean that
the public welfare in the wartime
emergency must still be the same
permanent interest to be served py
both parties. The government is the
protector of the public welfare.
The proposed strike, If carried 10
its logical conclusion, will paralvze
transportation and industry 1t Will
deprive unnumbered thousands or
men who are making no complaint
about their employment of their right
to earn a livelihood for themselves and
their families; will put cities in dark
ness, and, if continued only for FEW
days, will bring cold and hunger to
millions of our people; If continued
for month. it will leave death ana
starvation in its wake. 1t would be
more deadly attack upon the life or
the nation than an invading army.
BY enacting the food and fuel con-
troll act, congress has recognized the
vital importance in the present cir
cumstances Of maintaining production
and distribution of the necessaries of
life and has made it unlawful for
any concerted action, agreement. or
the arrangement to be made by two
or more persons to limit the facili-
ties OF portation and production,
or to restrict the supply and distribu-
ton Of fuel, or to aid or abet the doing
of any act having this purpose of ef-
feet Making strike effective under
the circumstances which have des-
cribed amounts to such concerted ac-
ton or arrangement.
1t is the solemn duty of the depart
ment of justice to enforce this statute.
We have enforced 1t in many cases.
We must continue to do SO irrespec-
tive of the persons involved in its vio-
lation. / hope it viii not be neces-
sary to enforce it in this case. Indeed,
am hearing from many sources that
large numbers of the miners them
selves do not wish to quit work, and
will not do so If assured of the pro-
lection of the government, of which
they properly feel themselves part.
1t is probably unnecessary for me to
say that such protection will every
where be given, SO that men may exer-
else their undoubted right of continu-
ing to work under such terms and
conditions as they shall see fit. The
facts present situation which chal-
lenges the supremacy of the law, anu
every resource Of the government will
be brought to bear to prevent the
national disaster which would inevi-
tally result from the cessation of
mining operations"

Flying Train May
Soon Be Realized

LONDON, June 16.-Keenest in
terest is aroused in aviation circles
by report from The Hague that
Herr Fokker, the Dutch inventor of
the German battle-plane, and pro-
prietor of the works that manufac-
tured it, proposes having himself
seated in one airplane and towed by
another plane.
This is the first step toward the
creation of a naerial train, the idea
being an aerial locomotive, with a
chain of cars similar to modern
railway train.
Herr Fokker has specially con
structed monoplane, without a mo
tor, ready for the experiment, but
has had great difficulty in getting
an airman to man and lead the air
plane. A flying train of air cars
some for baggage and some for pas
sengers is said to be the dream o
this Dutch inventor.
