Willard-Dennpsey Fight
Pictures Seen at Dinner
Showing at Sporting Clubs At
fair Causes Some Gossip,
OMisaw 10 Federal Ban

The showing of motion pictures of
the Willard d-Dempsey fight at a dinner
of the international Sporting Club, at
the Hotel Commodore, Thursday,
caused some curiosity yesterday as to
how the films were obtained. The
transportation of prizefght pictures
in interstate commerce is violation
of Federal statute punishable by Il
fine Of $1,000 or imprisonment for one
year or both.
The night management at the Hotel
Commodore could throw no light on
the matter, though it was said that
information might be obtained there
this morning. Such men as attended
the dinner and could be found either
said that they had not happened to be
in the dining room when the pictures
were shown or that they would not
discuss the subject.
Major Anthony ]. Drexel Biddle is
president of the club, which was or
ganized along the lines of the Ma
purposes to build $5OOOOO club
house with great amphitheatcr for
boxing on Lexington Avenue, near
Forty-ninth Street. He was out OF
town. Gutzon Borglum, chairman of
the general committee, declined to dis
cuss the incident. Frederick 3. Pratt
Charles S. Whitman, James g. Regan
and Special Deputy Police Commits
sioner 7. Coleman du Pont are others
who were said to have attended the
dinner.
No official investigation of the show
ing OF the pictures has been instituted

L Longshoremen's Strike
Situation UNCHANGED
United Fruit Company, How
ever, Moves Steamer to North
River for Loading

With the exception of the moving
of the United Fruit Company's steamer
Calamares, from Pier Is, East River,
to Pier 9, North River, where the COM
pany said $50 men were ready to load
the vessel, the situation in the long
shoremen's strike against the five
coastwise lines of the port remained
unchanged yesterday.
The United Fruit Company said that
so far as it was concerned the strike
was practically at an end, but the
longshorcmen contended that coast
wise shipping is tied up as completely
as 1T has been at any time since the
strike was called. The company asserts
1t is clearing all cargoes from incom.
Ing ships at Piers is and 16, East
River.
Both sides in the controversy said
they were confident there will be no
final settlement until the lines engaged
In coastwise trade are granted an in
crease in rates.
John F. Riley, chairman of the long
shoremen's district council said that
200 strikebreakers who had been nut
to work by the United company had
Joined the strikers.

Coal Miners in
Illinois Ready to
Quit on April l
Strike in Kansas Expected
Later; Texas Workers to
Stay at Tasks; Ohio and
Indiana Forces to Remain

PEORIA, Ill.,, March 26.-There will
undoubtedly be a suspension of work
in the coal mines of Illinois April l.,
Frank Harrington, president of the
United Mine Workers Of Illinois, said
here to-day.
"Understand, it will not be strike"
he added, "but an unavoidable suspen-
sion cf work. 1t may be for a short
time or a long time.
"Our agreement expires at midnight
March 81. l believe it will be impos-
sible to keep the men at work after
that.
ut is possible, of course, that some
sort of an agreement will be reached
at the meeting in New York Monday to
keep the mines running, but even at
that brief suspension of work will
occur"
PITTSBURG, Kans., March 26.-The
Kansas miners will be idle April /, but
only to celebrate the eight hour day,
Alexander Hewat, presdcn of the Kan
sas Miners, said to-day.
"A strike of the Kansas miners will
occur little later" Howat declared,
indicating that it would be early in
April.
Whether this strike will be general
or against companies against which the
miners have special grievances was not
specified. Either would test the Kan
sas industrial court law
FORT WORTH, Tex, March 20
Even if miners elsewhere quit work
ment expires, Texas workers will re-
main in the mines, it was announced
to-day. Operators and miners have
concluded an agreement by which the
miners will .".nain on the job with the
understanding that any wage changes
be made retroactive.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 26.-John
Moore, president of the United Mine
Workers Of Ohio, said to-day that he
dld not look for any trouble in Ohio
on April l because of the expiration
OF the miners agreement.
April l will be holiday in the
mines and the miners will not work
that day" said Mr.. Moore. "We ex-
pect that the first action taken by the
New York meeting Monday will be to
order the men to continue to work. If
such an order is given we feel sure
that the Ohio miners will obey it,"
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 90
Wllllam Mitch, secretary Of District
ica, said to-day he could "see no rea-
son why there should be a cessation
OF work in Indiana on April 1" in dis
cusslng statement made by Frank
harrington, president of the mine
workers organization in Illinois, that
such action in the coal mines un-
doubtedly would be taken with the ex-
pration OF the wage agreement March
81.
"Of course, if events at New York
in the conference Monday show there
is no possibility of the miners and op-
orators getting together there might
be suspension" Mr.. Mitch continued,
put do not anticipate this turn. If
there is, as expected, prospect of set
tlement, the national officers will
doubtless instruct the men to continue
at work pending the completion of a
wage scale. If this is done | believe
they will all comply with the order"

Anthracite Miners
Press Demand for
As Per Cent Raise
Operators Present Evidence
to Show Workers Are
as Well Paid as Men
in Bituminous Fields

Mine operators introduced evidence
yesterday, at their conference with hard
coal miners at the Union League Club
to show that the anthracite miners
were as we'll off as the bituminous min
ers in the matter of pay. The anthra-
mand pay increase of at least 45.7
per cent, instead of the 27 per cent ad-
vance recently obtained by the miners
in the bituminous fields.
1t was the contention Of the operators
that, although the days wage scale was
lower than the soft coal miners, the
hard coal men got as much in the
course Of year because their employ
ment was steadier. The conference
will adjourn at noon to-day that the
miners representatives may return to
the fields and urge the miners to re-
main at work after April 1 in accord
ance with the agreement made Thurs
day with the operators.
To Iisist on ASH Per Cent
After the conference miners declared
they still hoped to get the 60 per cent
increase which they originally de-
manded, and would insist upon 45.7 per
cent as minimum.
eve have not modified any one of
our demands in the slightest" Philip
Murray, international vice president of
the United Mine Workers, said, "We
are not going to. We are going to fight
all the way for every one of them.
AS soon as the arguments and sta
tistics are presented by the operators
in opposition to those presented by the
miners last week the real business of
the negotiations will start. Each de-
mand will be acted upon separately.
Await Counter Proposals
owe don't know just what the oper-
ators' position on all our demands will
be. Although they are opposing them,
they have not as yet presented any
counter proposals."
Mr. Murray issued an official state
ment denying the report published in
some newspapers that the general scale
committee of the miners had been "or-
dered home" The committee will re-
main in New York, he said, and be on
hand to act upon any important mat
ters that may be brought to it's attcn-
tion by the minc workers representa-
tlves on the subcommittee.
Word was received from Washington
that John l.. Lewis, international pres
ident of the mine workers, probably
would arrive in New York tomorrow.
He will devote his attention to the BIZ
luminous and anthracite wage confer
ences which will be in progress here
during the next few weeks

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.--Repre
sentativcs of leading American indus
tries agreed to-day to furnish 62O
American technical colleges with def
mite specifications of the training re-
quirements desired for those indus
tries. In return leaders from those
colleges agreed to cooperate to meet
those specifications. First steps were
taken to make this cooperation between
industry and colleges reality as soon
as possible.
These were outcomes Of the annual
national meeting of the technology
clubs associated at the Drexel Insti-
tute: Representatives Of more than
one hundred colleges and industrial or
carnations were present. At the OPEN
ing meeting to-day tentative "specifica-
tlonsN" for college training were pre-
sented for ten industries. Those in
dustries each agreed to contribute So
800 for further Investigations in their
particular lines.
The list of industries includes paper
making, rubber, public utilities, shoes
and feathers, textiles, paints and var
nishes, metals and machinery, cotton
finishing, railroads and coal mining.
Representatives Of the ten industries
had separate conferences with the col
lege leaders, and there were discus
sions of the requirements and arrange
ments for the completion of the "or.
ders" which the industries wish the
colleges to fill. In attendance were
officers of seventy of the great corpora.
tions of the United States and one
hundred college executives. The Penn
sylvania Railroad announced that Il
would contribute financially to make
possible the outlining of college
courses in railroad affairs which would
meet the needs of the railroads for
trained men,

Reduction i'm Milk
Prices Here To Be
Announced Monday

Expected; Copeland Asks
for State Control and
Passage of Zone Bill

officials Of the big milk distributing
companies said yesterday that the re-
tail prices of milk, beginning April /,
would not be announced until Monday.
1t is expected that the reduction Of II
cents quart in the price to be paid
farmers, as decided on by the Milk
Conference Board, will result in uni
form price Of Is cents a quart for
Grade B milk.
Lotion Horton, president of the Shelf
field Farms Company, would not pre-
dict what price his company would fix
The present price is II cents for
Grade B. The Borden's Farms Prod
ucts Company, which has been selling
Grade for 16 cents, is expected to
lower the price i cent
Our reduction probably will not be
so great as it would if we had not
dropped the price to 16 cents Two
months ago." said Patrick D. Fox,
president of the company. "While Other
companies were charging II cents we
tried to bring our price to level which
would make it more uniform through
out the year It is safe to say, how
ever, that tne prlce Will not be highcr r

to make the price so attractive to the
buyer that it will increase con-
SUMPTION
State control of milk prices was
urged by Health Commissioner Cope
land. He said that as the distributors
were merely extending to the public
the reductions they received from the
farmers the consumers would not re-
ceive any concessions from the dis
trlbutors. He added:
"It is ridiculous for the farmers to
pay 100000 year to maintain set
of officials at the head of the Dairy
mems League when the reductions that
the farmers make works in favor of the
distributors. The price-fixing function
would be under state control if the
Thomp pson-Pellett bill now before the
Assembly were passed. The bill pro-
vides for zones, so that six or seven
different companies would not have to
deliver milk to the same building"
