Strike of Mines in Central
 Fields is Likely

Indianapolis, Ind, July .24.-Possi- bility of general strike of bitumin- ous coal miners in the central com petitive field was revealed in a state ment given out tonight by John L.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, regarding the strike in the Illinois field. Any set clement of the Illinois strike which would modify the basic interstate agreement under which the miners of the central field are working would result in action by the national of- ficers to enforce an immediate shut down of all bituminous mines, in- volving strike of 210,000 men, MT. Lewis said.
 MT. Lewis statement follows:
 "The present situation in the Illi- nois coal fields is directly charge able to the lamentable blunder of the United States bituminous coal commission which failed to provide adequate compensation for certain classifications of mine workers. This award was affirmed by President Will son over the protest of the national officers of the United Mine Workers and in violation of the pledges of the United States government that jus tice would be rendered the miners.
 Since the rendition of the award the mine workers in most of the coal fields have been employed but small per centage of full time, due to the miserable breakdown of the nations tr0u n t;Or foci1ifioc Io Lo meantime coal operators are charg-

mind than a reference to president. ed with great. responsibilities to in- terpret in opposite views upon great questions without being actuated by personal anger or hatred. There are, however, some men so constituted that they are incapable of under standing that there can be differ ences of judgment without personal acrimony. This class of individuals and newspapers has persistently as- cribed my opposition to certain great national and international affair to the fact that at one time differ ence existed between the president and myself over the appointmnt of postmastr in Kansas City.
 "1t must be indeed small mind which would attribute to any man so contemptable reason for his. pub lie acts. A dispute, if it can be called a dispute, occurred during President Wilson's first term. Long before the presidents second cam paign, the president called me to of- liCGt ekpIcSS ItSIcC IIldI dly OIllcT- ences had arisen and asked me for my recommendation. At that time the man whom I had originally rec commended Mir. O'Malley had embark ed in business and did not desire the appointment and had so stated Thereupon MT. Steele, my friend for 20 years was appointed. This occur red as have stated, before MT. Will sons second campaign. I entered that campaign with every energy I possessed. One speech that I made in the senate was authorized by the national committee as national cam paign document.
 In launching into the league of na- tions question, Senator Reed declar- ed the republican platform is a straddle and the democratic platform an evasion.
 "The American people ought to tolerate neither" he asserted.

We'll IOcan Men Are Interested in
 Brings in Oil

c. F. Simmons received news yes terday that an oil company in which he and several other Pine Bluffians are interested, and which has been drilling in Panola county, Texas, has found oil in paying quantity at a depth of 2,140 fet, which is the depth of the strata of oil sand in the Ho- mer (Louisiana) field-the biggest gusher field in the country. The well in which MT. Simons is interested has just penetrated this strata, and is to be drilled deeper. Oil men, ac- cording to newspaper accounts, pre- dict that a producer of at least 1000 barrels will resllt.

The hold over at police headquarters tonight was packed with prisoners. The raid was continued with orders from Scott A. Cooley, chief of police, to "clean up Little Italy"
 Chief Cooley has charged much Of the crime to gangs of young toughs who infest Little Italy. "These young men, wearing diamonds and silk shirts, ride about the city in expensive motor cars," he declared. "It is these young toughs and gun men who participate in whiskey robberies, hold ups and other criminal acts"
 Instructions were given by the chief to "shoot to kill when encoun- tering bandits" in an effort to rid the city of lawless elements. "Blow these thugs out of their high priced cars" was the chiefs instruction to the officers.

ing unprecedented prices for coal and are enthusiastically engaging in what one may term the sun dance of the profiteers. In certain sections coal is selling at the outrageous price of from eleven to twelve dollars per ton f.o. b. mines. The American public is being sandbagged by these daring commercial vandals who stag ger beneath their loot. When the basic wage agreement between the miners and operators was consum- mated on March 31, representatives of the mine workers attempted to se- cure acquiescence of the operators in an arrangement which would give justice to the day workers and monthly men. Their efforts were re- pulsed by the coal operators, since which time the United Mine Workers
 have in every way assumed the obli- gations of the wage agreement to which the Illinois coal operators are party. The publicly expressed de- sire of the Illinois operators to now amend the wage agreement has not
 been officially transmitted to the of ficers of the national union.
 eff settlement is made in Hi nois which modifies the basic inter-
 state agreement, prompt action will
 be taken by this office to force an immediate shutdown of all mines op-
 erating in the central competitive field involving some two hundred and ten thousand men until similar mod lifications together with other inn Iprovements are arranged for in the
 other coal producing states"
 MT. Lewis would not discuss the calling of ' general strike indicated in the lastN paragraph of his state ment as a possibility.
 He said he was awaiting further
 word regarding attempts made to settle the Illinois strike.
