COAL OPERATORS CHARGED
 WITH BEING INCONSISTENT

. Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1-Bitumin- ous coal operators of the country were charged with inconsistency in their attitude toward the commission ap- pointed by the president to settle the coal miners controversy in a state ment issued today by William Green, secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America.
 Calling attention to the operators statements that they had not been consuletd about the agreement enter ed into between Attorney General Palmer and officials of the mine work CTS to have the miners return to work pending investigation of the coal sit uation by the presidents commission, MT. Green quoted from a stenographic report of the last joint conference Of the operators and miners at which the operators offered and voted for reso-' 1ution fayoring appointment of a tri- bunal to settle the differences between the employers and employees.
 The resolution referred to, MT. Green said, was offered by Phil H. Penna of Terre Haute, Ind, spokesman for the operators throughout the ioint confer enees, and proposed a body having an equal number of representatives of miners, operators and the public. All the operators present, MT. Green said, voted for the proposal, but the miners voted against it and defeated it.
 "The miners were opposed to arbi- tration until the proposition was made by the president" MT. Green said in conclusion. "The Penna motion and the vote of the operators show that they were in favor of just such a com mission as the one created by the president, but when the miners ac- cepted the plan the operators suddenly changed and announced they were op- posed to it."

powers?
 |. T ask these questions because re- gardless of what may or may not be Tn the platforms the next administra ton will have to meet this issue in different ways. Powerful forces in this country cooperating with equally powerful and persistent forces, in Europe are determined to draw the United States into association and partnership with European powers, to embroil us in all European turmoils and conflicts, to utilize our young men in policing the territories and fighting the racial and dynastic battles of the old world and placing upon our tax payers the burden of the financial and economic life of both Europe and Asia, and these. forces will continue their effort to bring about these things after the election. If they can not do it in one way, they will do it in another. If they cannot succeed by open agreement, they will endeavor to succeed by secret or tacit agree ments. We. many of us, feel therefore, that we would like to know what your views are upon this problem and what 1t will be your purpose to do should you be honored by an election as president

 This is but an intimation," MT. Borah continued "of what is to hap pen should we conclude to abandon our traditional foreign policy and en- ter into understandings and conbina- tions which would embIoil us in all European conflicts and turmoils. Our young men would be asked toSsacrifice their lives in just such secret and un- conscionable affairs as this in Russia. And MT. Taft, as T understand from his public statement. is in favor if necessary of conscripting our young men for that kind of service.
 Are you in favor of any such policy or of any alliance, league or partner ship which may lead to such a pro- gram? What is to be your policy with regard to such affairs?"
