sixty and seventy soldiers were injured.
The civilians threw twenty nine bombs.
This attack followed night of terror,

Two men were killed ana some forty

which Mr.. Wilson has found himself
IN conflict with the Republican Senate
) and with some influential Democrats.
The alacrity with which the league
issue has come to the fore has caused
manifest surprise at Harding's head E
quarters here. Many of the senator :
close associates lad not expected Gov
ernor Cox TO take counsel with the
President at the outset of his campaign
nor to take any aggressive measures to
hold up the hands of the present ad-
ministration, with which he has not
been closely associated.
In that event they considered it pos e
eible that the league issue might be
thrust more or less into the background
for want of direct point of conflict
Between the two parties.
SO far, however, the other ordinarily
important issues have failed to Surply
q paramount point Of conflict. and that
circumstance is expected to help keen
the league controversy in the spotlight.
The Harding managers are not un
mindful that within their own party
there is some division Of opinion rc-
garding the league. put they believe that
on direct issue of acceptance of the
Wilson policy without the dotting of an
'i' or the crossing Of 1t" they can
count on a united Republican front.
They also are confident that such an
Issue will drive a wedge through Dem
ocratic solidarity and they do not pro
pose to overlook any opportunity thus
TO carry the fight into the enemy's terri
tory.

MINERS CONTEND
FOR LIVING WAGE
Demand for Six-DolIar Day Is
Conservative, Hard Coal
Commission Is Told
By the Associated Press

Scranton. July 1o.-In arguing FOR
the mine workers before the anthracite
mine commission here today. PHILLIP
Murray. vice president Of the union
declared the outstanding development OF
the hearings. which are drawing to a
close, is "thc establishment 60" al
time in this industry of the principle oI
the living wage.
"ThC operators have declared repO at

and their purpose to adhere to 1t and
have stated that the sole point of diff
ference with Us is one Of fact. ~ tC
what constitutes II living wage anG

Murray continued "lt was not unit
the cross examination that we secure
from the operators the amazing state.
ment that a mine worker can live ant
support Il family on American standard
on a wage Of &.@4 per day.
That is their translation of the
principle of the living wage into con
crete figures that j. their measure ol
the worth of man under present day
considerations.

Warrincr' cows and chickens. fresh

and without cost to themselves. com =
prise the sum total of their cOutribu =
ton to the information of the com =
mission as to how to determine and
what to fix a living wage for 152 ,OOC
workers.
Our demands have been met by the
operators with the contention that they
are now paying us living wage and
with the further declaration that il
there should be any wage increase il
would mean an advance in the price
of anthracite to the consumer.
"When We sought to demonstrate by
an inquiry into the mOnopOliStic domi
nation of the industry and its abnor
mally large earnings. direct and indi
rect. that our Just wage demands could
be met and the increase absorbed by
the operators out Of their profits with
out an increase in the price of coal t.
the consumer. we encountered a t>,h q
nical objection from the operators who
raised the question as TO the iuriSdic .
ton of the commission to go into mat
tcrS costs, prices, profits and mo
nOpoly.
1--WE submit that we have established
beyond contradiction the following
points:
First. Anthracite workers are not
now receiving living wage.
Second. 4 living wage in this in
dustry would be- largely in excess o
the maximum earnings which the opcr
atorS show in their own table.
Third. Our demand for minimum
wage of so per day, with differentials
is reasonable and conservative.
'ThrrefOrO. We contend that we have
earned the Judgment Of this commission
for our full wage demands on our sub
mission in this phase Of the case"
