or CONFERENCE
UNTIL MONDAY
Operators Want to Sound
Out Fuel Administrators
Position on Strike; The
Leader Says Operators
Trying to Block Settle
ment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Today
John Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, announced that the miners
are willing to settle their strike upon
q basis of 81 per cent increase.
In the face of this announcement
Of Lewis that the miners had reduced
their demands from 46 per cent to
81 per cent, as asked by Secretary
OF Labor Wilson, the joint conference
between the miners and operators,
set fo" today, was postponed until
Monday, at request of the operators.
II is understood that the operators
asked a postponement Of today's con-
ference so they could meet with Fuel
Administrator Garfield to learn the
governments attitude toward the coal
controversy.
In announcing the amended wage
demands Lewis charged that oper-
ators outside of the central competi-
tive field are trying to block settle
rnent of the strike.

ATROPHIED faster

Medicos state that disuse of a men,
Der or a faculty causes its atrophy,
and eventually it's loss altogether.
And if called into use after long ne
glect, it's functioning is anything but
correct.
The foregoing fact was called to
the attention of "The Oasis" man this
week very signally by ,:ttle per
sonal experience in Nogales, Sonora.
He was invited to partake of some
very good wine at the warehouse of
the Sonora and Sinaloa Commission
Company, and it is a positive fact
that his caster" had become so lame
and impotent that he thought sau-
terne was sherry, and he took claret
for port; which simple errors he
printed yesterday morning.
The cause of all this remarkable
blunder is that it is so long now that
Arizona has been dry the editors
faster had become atrophied from dis
use, and it could not function proper

Il don't stand any such talk from

Mr.. Magee answered that the wit

which General Disque denied and de-
lnanded that the Congressman prove

Finis J. Garret of Tennessee, Dem
ocratic member of the ordnance sub
smelling" committee, has filed a
minority report in reply to the de-
mand for the passage of Republican
House resolution requesting the sec
rotary of war to review the settle
'ment of all claims arising out of war
contracts, the lang age of the reso-
luton broadly ntiamting much
fraud.
"Thc majority report states that the
committee has gone into few of the
great mass of claims that have been
adjusted, mentions certain ones and,
without definite reference to any par
ticular adjustment, concludes with a
loose indictment of constructive, if
not actual fraud and of the 1axness
and inefficiency of \the government
representatives. coupled with general
criticism of the settlement organiza-
tion," says Mr.. Garrett.
"Too strong emphasis cannot be
laid upon the unfairness and injus-
ticc of citing "a few cases and with
OUT giving a single detail as to one
of them, predicates upon them a
sweeping blanket resolution. The
maiohity gives no credit to the vast
constructive work which has been
performed in the settlement and adj
iustment of these claims. No bust
ness task of magnitude equal to this
has ever at any time confronted the
government of the United States
nothing even approaching it in mag
nitude. The matter has been dealt
with as business matter, not as a
political matter.
"Of contracts, both formal and in
formal, moro than 22,50O have been
adjusted. The uncompleted portion of
these contracts and of claims settled
or adjusted in cases where the con-
tracts are not completed, aggregate
more than two billions of dollars.
These have been adjusted and settled
for about $53O,OO0,OOO, which latter
amount includes some $7S,000.000 of
partial settlements and awards. In
other words, the war department
claims ErardS have been able to set
tie for about II per cent. More than
two bill ons of dollars of outstanding
government obligations"

RIGHTEOUSNESS IN COLD TYPE

RIGHTEOUSNESS IN COLD TYPE
1t never pays to try Righteousness
in cold type The words printed look
entirely different from what they
sound spoken or seem to the writer
when he limns them.
"The Oasis" found that out for the
'steenth time yesterday after indul
gence in a bit of Righteousness over
the carload of coal seized by the Fuel
Administration and distributed at
Nogales through the City Clerk.
But it seemed funny when written,
that carload of coal, seized by the
government, and sold at cost lat the
mouth of the pitt, plus cost of de-
livery, should cost almost 25 per cent
more than coal sold at profit a
month before; and "The Oasis"
thought to have a little fun out of
it. Yet it touched on the raw the
city officials who were handling the
transaction, situation we regret
very mdch,- and tender this as an
apology.
In the article telling how the coal
at cost had been made to cost so
much, it was explained that the rail-
road had exacted demurrage and the
brokers had demanded their costs,
and we had thought that explained
the whole transaction; but it did not
serve to disarm the sting in the at
tempt at Righteousness.
While the coal has cost consumers
about 1915 for each half ton of coal,
there is another story that may go
with the statement two of them.
The City Clerk was offered 500 per
ton for the coal on the car, and a
Tucson dealer telephoned that he
would pay $50 per ton for it in No
gales, just name the price, and he
would send the money at once, order
ing the car billed to Tucson. So the
city could have disposed of it at a
profit.
AS it was Alderman Wylie and City
Clerk Cole labored assidiously to de-
liver coal to consumers in Nogales at
cost coal that could have been dis
posed of at profit, without any la
Dor on their part.
These facts are presented as an
amend for the unwilling discomfort
given them by elephantine facetious-
ness in cold type.

CHURCH SCAN MAG.

VALLEJO, Calf, Nov. %. =
Omitted Press.)-The story of how
the Rev. William B. Phillips, pastor
of the First Christian Church here,
made love to Mrs. Mabel Jones,
member of his church, may be
brought out in the trial of C. B.
Hershey, a deacon of the church,
which started today.
Hensley is charged with disturbing
the peace in complaint sworn to
by the preacher. The trial opened in
the police court of Judge Wilson.
Phillips is barred from his church
by temporary restraining order,
which was issued after witnesses had
testified in a court at Fairfield that
the Rev. Phillips was an ardent wooer
when Mrs. Jones was concerned.
Phillips lawyers in court declared
they would admit that Mrs. Jones, if
placed on the stand, would testify
substantiating all the lovc-making
charged against the married pastor.
The evidence was he kissed her and
told her he should have met her be-
fore he met his present wife.
After charges were brought against
Phillips and he was forced out of his
church, he brought the misdemeanor
charge against Hensley, who was &C
tive in opposing Phillips.
Two rival churches now exist, con-
sisting of followers and hackers Of the
deasons. The preachers audience
meets in Red Mems hall.
w. H. Morrissey, attorney defend
ing Hensley, said he did not know the
specific charge that would be brought
out against his client at the trial. The
decision whether to make the injunc-
tion barring Phillips from the church
a permanent one is expected soon
from tne Fairfield court.
