In regard to the installation of test ing laboratory. Mir. Batson stated he knew nothing of the contract of the county with the Pittsburg Testing Labo- ratory In employing an engineer he thought he was saving the county money, he stated, and expected to be commended by the board for making a trade whereby he could save the county money. He was acting under instruc- tions given him in a letter from the board authorizing him to appoint engi- neers and men necessary to carry on his work, he stated.
 At this point a letter from Julian Kendrick, city engineer of Birmingham. was read The attitude of MT. Gwin in carrying on the road construction work was commended. Mir Hendricks S letter also contained praise for the county en- gineer and. among other things, stated that the fees of the Pittsburg Testing Laboratory, whose head is chairman of the advisory committee. would for the remainder of the year amount to more than the salaries of the board of rev. eHue and the county highway engineer. The city engineer charged that the col umns of the newspapers were open to certain persons for criticism. but when replies to such criticisms were offered these columns became closed.

 The operators characterized as false published statements to the effect that they had reached q 'tacit agreement that if a strike must come this would be the best time for it, rather than in winter The operators have been an&- ious to have the mines in Illinois ruE- ming at full capacity, feeling that ary cessation in work, coming on top of se- rious lack of car supply, must have serious consequences in curtailing the production of ocal so badly needed
 An erroneous impression, the opera tors say, also has crept into some news reports to the effect that the operators
 were not disinclined to grant a higher wage, but felt that the government
 should initiate any action to that end. No intimation of this nature, they say has come from them. The operators maintain that fhere is one single prin- ciple involved in the Illinois strike slt- uation, and that is the inviolaoillty or
 their contract with the miners, which was guaranteed by the latter through their officers when the wage contracts l were signed. They take the stand that this contract is absolutely binding ana l that the miners have no lawful right to strike.

OPERATORS CANNOT

Illinois Producers Say They Are Bound By Govern ment Award Last
 Spring

Washington, July SO.-(SpeciaD.- Before at the White House over the strike of Illinois miners who demand more wages, the committee of Illinois coal operators, headed by E. c. Searls, president of the Operators Association of that state, re- ceiyed reports that more than two-thirds of the Illinois soft coal miners are now on strike Intimate advices to the op- orators from mining regions indicate that 90 per cent of daily tonnage ordi- narily mined in the state has been cut off by the strike. This means a stop page in production of some 3S7500 tons out of normal daily output of approx imately $75 900 tons.
 As result of the strike, the Illinois operators stated, northwest markets, as well as those in Illinois, are acuteiy af- fected Unless the difficulty with the stated, the northwest, already undergo ing a serious coal shortage, will suffer disaster.
 The Illinois operators committee made it clear today that the operators are powerless to deal with any demands of the miners because of the existing con tract under which the men have been Worklng Since last SprlnE. based upon the award made by the bituminous coal commission, as recommended to Presi- dent Wilson. The miners, through their official organization, asked the opera tors that the wage negotiation, upon which the new contract was based be reopened. This the operators have been unable to do, they explain, as the award, made through a governmental agency. was made. legally binding upon operators and miners for the period of it's existence, two years ending March
