He said he realized that the city would be unable to pay the warrants at the end of the year, but that by issuing them, the city would not only be protected, but would serve their largest creditor by using the paper as collateral. Mayor Hol- lis advised the members of the coun- ell that legal advisers had told him it would not be the best plan to is- sue the warrants as requested. Judge Gould appealed to the council stat ing it was but fair that they place Otis and Company in position to use such warrants as collateral, and stated that in the event the city couldn't see it's way clear to issue the warrants, Otis and Company would be forced to dismiss the suit against the city and register the warrants already issued. This, he said, would place the city in an em- barrassing position, and they would be unable to pay anyone before Otis and Company was paid.
 No vote was taken on the request, and Judge Gould will meet with the mayor and legal advisers at later date.
 The question brought up by Judge Gould last night dates back more than year, when the city secured money from a New York bank on war1v,ts taken up by Otis and Con- pany. The payment of these is now year over due, and suit was enter cd in the federal court at Little Rock some time ago, in which Otis and Company secured judgment suit was instituted in order that a mandamus proceedings might be brought to have the valuation of city property made at 100 per cent By this plan, it was hoped to secure enough money to pay off the debt.
 Judge Gould's request last night was for the city to draw time war rants in settlement of the judgment, the warrants to be used by Otis and Company as collateral. A number . of legal phases are seen in such a

In asking that the council consider plans to establish fourth fire stat ion in the city, Mayor Hollis said "we have the best firemen in South in charge of fire fighting equipment but we lack adequate facilities to cope with really big fire" He stated the city was in need of another fire station and some additional fire fighting equipment.
 On the motion of Alderman Gle ments, the mayor and the fire com mittee of the council, with the chief | of the fire department was instructed to look into the cost of the needed | equipment and the additional station, and report back to the council.

MINERS TO STAND
 BACK OF PLEDGES
 PRESIDENT CLAIMS,
Special Convention Adopts Resolution Deciding to
 Keep Promises

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 18.-Con tinued coal production in Oklahoma Arkansas and Texas seemed to be assured tonight when representa-. tives of local unions in district No 21, United Workers of America, de cided in special convention here that they would not abrogate thei,
 present contracts by taking extend. ed "vacations" from the coal mines of the three states. The represen. satives held an executive session anC 5hc decision of the meeting was
 made public tonight by John Wilkin. son, president of the district.
 "It was bitter pill, but they swallowed it," said MT. Wilkinson. MT. Wilkinson's report was reac 70 the committee. One hundred anC fifty delegates were present. Fol owing the reading of his report, tho president addressed the representa-. ives in person.
 "When the demands for 30 pel cent increase in tonnage rates were
 made by the miners of this district and refused by the Southwest Inter state Coal Operators association
 the workers thought an injustice
 was being done them," MT. Wilkin. son said. "They grew very restless
 and nearly two thousand of then left their work and went on 'vaca tion.'"
 Reserve Increase, He Says.
 "l agree with the men. They arc
 morally deserving of the increase out we must not forget our contracts We have given our word to the coa operators and to the United States government, as sponsor of the agree
 ment that we will continue operation of the mines.
 "Whatever our moral rights may oe, we cannot so lightly regard oul pledges"
 Mir. Wilkinson then detailed the
 present situation-the miners de-
 mands for approximately a 30 pei
 cent increase in yard rate and ton
 mage rates, alleging inequalities o1
 recent awards to mine laborers-
 and when he finished speaking there
 was not a dissenting word raised, he
 said tonight.
 The convention, by a standing vote, concurred in the attitude talk
 en by MT. Wilkinson in the mine situation, and a resolutions commit
 tee was appointed to draft resolu ! tion for formal adoption when the
 convention meets tomorrow morn ing.
 Following the meeting, MT. Will kinson said:
 "We cannot now force the coa operators to grant this increase, but they should regard our wishes as far as possible, for they could very
 easily grant the increase without in
 creasing the price of coal to the con
 sumers."
 MT. Wilkinson said the matter O a district headquarters would be dis
 cussed at tomorrow's session. It i. planned to erect an office building tt
 house the district offices, at cos
 of approximately $10O,000

Washington. May 15.-High prices
have reached their peak and III the last
two weeks there has been an actual re-
cession in both extravaganza and the
cost of living, in the opinion OF Secretary
Houston. He ascribed this to the general
public's hostile attitude toward prohteers.
Rcports to the secretary from States
in the northwest indicate that large stores
are attempting to unload all the merchan-
disc possible at this time. He mentioned
also the voluntary cut in price OF ~
per cent by large eastern concern, which
was followed in a southern city. A view

merchants to reduce their stocks, Secre-
tary Houston also said.
''Thc organization of groups OF per

The Miners View.

Editor World: After reading the first few
lines Of Capt n. Il. Easton's letter in your paper
of February 8, | was not at all surprised at tho
balance of 1t, | have found 1t is "a human
falling to Judge the other fellow by our own
standards
First the company has invested its money
and requires to produce the highest tonnage OF
coal possible just as long as they can COM
mand tho highest possible price, which is not in
the summer by any means; therefore the miners
are held idle greater part of the summer or
there would be surplus of coal by winter;
consequently the supply and demand would be
more equal and materially, the price would be
lower and the consumer would get the benefit.
The miners ask to be guaranteed 80 hours per
week winter and summer that their earnings
may be equalized throughout the year, The eN-
penseA OF holding the miner idle during tho
summer must. OF course. be paid out OF tho extra
profits made in the winter when the annual
coal shortage Is on.
As To wages captain Easton, YOU speak OF a
$500 man on your pay roll, l naturally suppose
you refer to your general manager, although OF
course you did not say so, but ! have lived
around mines all my lifc and can assure anyone
who Is interested that there is no miner who
averages Sip.25 per day | hardly believe you
would be willing to pay any miner in your en-
ploy $3.50 per day compensation II ne were in
jurcd although that is just about nc-half what
YOU claim Is this mans daily wage. II the
story YOU toll OF the birthday celebration Is
true one must consider tho fact that the man
who spent this money was foreigner, and they
can live on a much smaller amount than an
American family; also his sons first birthday
may have been very important event to him.
| wonder did you ever celebrate some event
that to others seemed just as unimportaut as the
birthday OF this mans son seemed to YOU. As
To your nephew, of course, of your nephew says
the railroad men want corporation owned rail-
roads the other railroad men are liars; for peo-
pie who wish 10 know the truth as to how the

Tho protest OF 81 so-callcd religious leaders

when cotcrie of demagogues undertake to

government which our fathers established,
These men found crying out against the
crime of driving these profaners from the halls
OF legislation.
Tho public Will be disposed to give the ac-
cusod members the benefit of the doubt and even
question tho Justice OF the proceedings against
