Denies Operators Plan to Gouge
 Public on Coal

New York, April 3.-Responsible bituminous coal operators will "con- demn an unwarrantable price and any profitering policies," Thomas T Brewster, chairman of the scale com. mittee of the bitumnous coal oper- ators, declared in statement issued here tonight.
 "lnsinuations that the coal opera tors are going to gouge the public because of the recent 27 per cent advance Tn wages, as put out by the United Mine Workers spokesmcn in the guise of protest in the public in terest are sheer nonsense," said Mir Brewster.
 During the coal miners entirely unWarranted and unlawful cessation of work, all stocks of coal were depleted and shortage exists throughout the country. The re- plcnishing of stocks has been re- tardcd by serious coal shortage Consequently, large consumers o1 soft coal are competing for the available supply which has resulted in the offer of higher prices thar the operators are willing to accept
 All responsible operators will condemn any unwarrantable pricee or any profiteering policies.
 'The bituminous coal commission having awarded the miners a wage scale giving them very high earn ing power, the public now has the right to demand more work, with ad vanced coal production and less talk"

Says Church Also
 Must Make War on
 B0lshevism's Spread

Rome, April 3.-The attitude of bolshcvism toward the church is de- scrbed in a letter received from Monsignor De Ropp, Archbishop of Mohilcv, printed in the Obscrvatorc Romano today. Monsignor De Ropp who only three months ago, thru intervention by the holy sea, was released by the bolsheviki, writes:
 "Bolshcvism, despite its ostenta- tious atheism, does not prevent Christian work in churches. but there is a constant effort to de- moralize the youth of the country. Their belief is that child does not belong to the parents but to the state. The church must struggle against this theory and against this official organization if it hopes to survive in Russia. The church must insist on bolshevik recognl- tion of her organization and of her rights as legal entity. This is diff ficult because the bolsheviki do not admit the right of prosecution, which according to them, is vested only in the nation"
