Vengeful Steps Against
Union Heads, Threat of
Anthracite Insurgents.
10000 MEN IN AREA
Between 10000 and TO-
600 Miners Would Be AZ
fected, Says Writer.
by GEORGE NoX MCCAIN,

CStar Correspondent Of the Public Ledger )
Wilkes-Barre. Pa, Aug. 81. - 4
closeup" of the threatened strike
of the anthracite coal miners does
not encourage the view that it will
be a genera lone
II there should be a waIkout it
will be in the nature OF an OUTLAW
strike. 1t will be in every particular
a repetition here in the hard coal
fields of the, famous OUTLAW" strike
of the Chicago railroad switchmen
some months ago.
There are over 10000 miners in
the anthracite regions. OF this num-
Der it is said that not less than TO-
900 and not more than 10000 will
lay down their tools.
This statement is based on first
hand observation OF thse residents
here who are familiar with condi-
tions. 1t is wholly unbiased, and /
regard it as reliable. The situation
presents an odd mixture of radical
ism. restlessness and revenge. 1t
largely harks back to factional jeaI-
ousies among certain of the miners
leaders.
While there certainly is dissatis-
faction with the award of II. per
cent advance to the men by Presi-
dent Wilson's anthracite coal com
mission, it is not the only factor
that is contributing to the threats
of a walkout and a closing Of the
mines.
Attempt to "Get Even"
The reputation. by a certain eIe-
ment among the miners. Of the
union officials is not. am assured.
SO much a protest against the con-
stituted authority of the limited
Nine Workers as it is an attempt
of certain dissatisfied and dIsap-
pointed leaders to get even"
lncidentally-and knowingly OF
unknowingly-thc insurgent lead
crs, it would appear. are playing
into the hands OF the operators
They are in fair way to split the
forces and weaken the power Of
the union, if the popular idea is
correct that this is a consumma-
tiOn desired by the operators-that
Is, some Of them.

SAYS COAL COMPANIES
DODGE INCOME TAX
Governor Goodrich OF Indiana
Charges Operating Accounts
Are Padded.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Cannellton, Ind, Oct. l3.-"Many
operating accounts of coal companies are
padded for the purpose OF avoiding the
federal income tax, said Governor James
L. Goodrich, of Indiana, In an address at
n good roads meeting near here today, In
discussings orders OF the special coal and
food commission which recently liked
coal prices In Indiana.
Discussing the assertion of Phil H..
Penna. secretary-trasurer of the Indiana
Bituminous Coal Operators Association,
that the mine owners had no intention Of
complying with the orders of the commits
sion, the governor said that men IN In
diana who before the war were content
with salaries of $1,000 to $4,000 now
were drawing $4,000 and $4,000 for
managing mines.
"a do not think Penna or anyone else
connected with the operators assocla-
tsDn wants the inside facts laid before the
people of the State, said Governor Good
rich. who himself is coal mine operator
"Phil Penna, the paid agent of the op-
orators association, makes the statement
that 20 mines in Indiana cannot operate
under the prices fixed by the commission,
he added "All these % operat ors have to
do in order to get relief Is to go before the
commission, SHOW titCil tNStsf tAAAh - ~
facts indicate that the rate is not high
enough rs to their particular mine the
commission will undoubtedly modify
the order.
"Thc truth of the matter is that many
of the operating accounts of the coal com
panics are padded for the purpose OF
avoiding the federal income tax. II the
operators, rs Penna indicates, want TO
pursue the same public-bc-damued policy
that brought the liquor business to IT'S
end and has driven the public 10 drastic
regulatory measures in the control of other
business to protect the people of the cN-
tortion, the responsibility lies with them

 It has been asked how will the following appar- ent bar to his candidacy be removed:
 Sec. II Art. o the constitution Ari- zona. Judges of the supreme judges of the superior courts shall be eligible to office or public employment other than judicial office of employment during the TERM for which they SHALL HAVE BEEN ELECTED"
 Tn the face of this obstruction it been argued that the United senate judge of the qualifications of it's membership. That is gen. eray true but the question arises is it in the present circumstances? As rule. could it now be construed, since the amendment to the federal con- stitution providing election of senators by the direct vote the people. favor candidate who ineligible to office the state? And candidate pronounced by the laws of the state clearly to be ineligible invoke the election laws to get his the primary and regular ballots? Is not every step taken by ineligible candidate looking to his election absolutely void under the state constitution
 But those are questions for democratic friends to Similar would have been answered in courts doubt, if Mir. Colter had received a majority of the votes for governor

 Concerning the power of the senate to judge of qualifications persons present themselves for membership. there three disqualifications which the senate cannot ignore: lack o the 1uired thirty of lack of being inhabi of the which he claims election, and lack of election. Now the question is. Can whom constitution declares to ineligible 7 be elected?
