ORGANIZATION IS
WORKMEN'S RIGHT,
CONFERENCE TOLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Today's
activities of the National Industrial
conference were left largely to the
general committee of fifteen in view
of the failure of the main body yester-
day to reconcile its opinions in col
lectiye bargaining after two days of
argument.
Just what steps the committee
would find it possible to take to
compromise the issues which have
grown particularly acute between the
labor group and the employers repe-
resentatives, was not known even by
the committee members themselves
prior to the meeting at $50 o'clock.
Samuel Gompers, heading the labor
delegation. came back from his sick
bed yesterday to lend dramatic
touch to the proceedings by throwing
down flat defiance of the employ.
erS.
Capital, he said. must accept the
principle that laboring men have the
right to organize and present their
claims or consideration to employers
because whether they accepted or not
labor would take it anyway.
Employers May Support It
The employers delegates declared
yesterday that they would support the
resolution presented upon the subject
provided that an amendment could be
inserted which would give the confer
ence's countenance to an employer
who might take the stand that Judge
Gary, cha irman of the U. S. Steel cor
poration has taken, in refusing to meet
and discuss labor demands with any
except his own employees
On this point the conference now
| has reached a deadlock and until i
is settled, delegates do not expec
that much progress will be made, al
though the central committee wa:
known to have up for consideration
today new program of procedure.
This program drafted by one Of the
| leaders in the conference. provide:
for settlement of some Of the simple,
problems of industrial peace before
the larger questions, such as collect
| i've bargaining and the steel strike
are taken up.

Youth Fountain Can Be
Kept in Cold Storage
(Bv Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 18.-Dr. Serge Voronoff,
w.s) claims he can postpone old age by
grating interstitial glands, points out
in an article in the Journal today that
the internal secretion Of glands such
as the thyroid and supra-renal con-
tinue alive for three hours after the
death of the body and therefore advo-
Gates that bodies of young and healthy
persons killed in accidents should be
rushed to special hospitals where pa
tients are suffering from durable NAL
aides. He says the grating glands
could be grouped and put in cold stor-
age where they can be kept indefinite
ly.
Unfortunately" writes DR.. Toron-
off, "prejudices and law now prevent
this. Our secular customs require
that our perishable bodies be consign-
ed to the earth, where they slowly and
uselessly are consumed"

MINERS AND
OPERATORS
DEADLOCK
Coal Conference Called by
Wilson Futile-Will Meet
Again Tuesday - Indiana
Operators Ask for Cars.
TO be FULL MEET
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Failing to
effect any adjustment of the bitumin-
GUS coal situation during his confer
ence yesterday with Thomas T. Brew
ster, chairman OF the associated coal
operators in the central competitive
fields and John L. Lewis, acting pres
ident of the United Mine Workers,
Secretary Of Labor Wilson has asked
the two leaders to call in the full
wage conference committee which
they represent. The secretary's re-
quest was acceded to and the joint
session will be held in Washington,
Tuesday,
At the conclusion Of yesterdays s
conference, the operators, through
Mr.. Brewster, gave the secretary
notice that they did not intend to con-
slider the 6 hour day and the day
week, two Of the demands which the
miners have made as an alternatiy e
to calling strike In the fields Novem-
Der l.
In turn President Lewis issued a
statement declaring that the mine
owners would be held responsible for
the strike, should it come, because
they had not been willing to negotiate.
IND1ANAPOLIS, Oct. 1S.-A tele-
gram sent to Director General of Rail-
roads Walker D. Hines, following a
meeting yesterday of coal mine oper-
ators and coal dealers of Indiana, ask
ing that more cars for moving coal be
furnished the mines Of the state, was
made public here this morning.
The request, made by the operators
and dealers, they said. because of the
threatened strike of miners Nov. /,
asks that all open top cars be used
during the remainder Of this month
exclusively for moving coal.
The action Of the operators and
dealers follows closely a statement
given out by the miners yesterday de-
claring that movement is on foot to
increase prices of bituminous coal was
unjustif1ed as the production of coal
has not lessened and that the miners
have agreed to work steadily until
Nov. !. The statement further
charges that any increases in the
prices OF coal now can be viewed
only "as plain everyday profiteering.
The operators who joined in the
telegram to Director General Hines
said this morning that a panicky mar
ket is causing an increase in prices
and that there is a tendency on the
| part of buyers to offer higher than
market prices for coal.

GAS INCREASE
GRANTED; TO.
BEGIN OCT. |.
Higher Rates Will be Charged
in October Bills, Says Man
ager Johnson-Fall Heav-
lest on Heavy Consumers.
TAXES ARE INCREASED

Announcement was made Saturday
by the State Public Service commits
sion, that the petition of the Rich
mond Light, Heat and Power COM
pany, for an increase of the gas rate
for Richmond, had been granted, eff
fective October !, 1919.
Statements for gas consumption for
the month Of October will include the
increase in rate, according to Nimrod
johnson. manager of the company.
According to the order made by the
state commission on the case, the
Logan Natural Gas company, from
which the Richmond company re-
ceives its supply, increased its rate
from 81 cents to 35 cents per 1000
cubic feet, and this, with an increase
in taxes, is given as the reason for
Increased rates.
The report further states that the
commission had originally intended to
allow an increase that would cover
only the increase made by the Logan
company, but they decided to con-
cur with the opinion of the city coun-
Gil of Richmond, and allow for the
increase in taxes of the Richmond
company.
Agrees with Council.
The statement of the state COM
mission on the increase, which is in
cluded in the order follows:
THE commission, being fully ad-
vised, is of the opinion that it should
concur in the conclusion of the COM
mon council of the city.
THE commission would be inclined
to increase rates only to cover the
increased cost of supply to the Rich
mond Light, Heat and Power COM
pan, but for the fact that petitioners S
taxes have been materially increased,
that there is till an unmistakable up
ward trend of all operating costs and
that the increase in rates may result
in a decrease of consumption.
The commission finds that an in
crease in rates will be necessary to
meet the increased cost of gas and
increased taxes and to yield an ade-
euate return on the value, of the prop
erty, which is approximately $450,000
> 1T is therefore ordered by the pub
lie service commission of Indiana that
petitioner be, and is authorized to
charge for natural gas sold to its con-
sumers, the following scale:
The largest per cent of increase CSC
per cent? will fall upon the heavy con
sumers, while those consuming 100C
cubic feet or less per month would
pay a 21.5 per cent increase. In the
table the number in each instance re
fers to cubic feet, and the rates are
given for a month"
