WILSON NAMES BOARD
Appoints Commissions To Settle
Coal Controversy.
Mine Owners Deny They Gave Their
Assent To Governments Strike
Settlement.

Observation-Disclosures with Pres
ident Wilson's appointment Of the
commission of three to carry out the
governments plan for settlement OF
the soft coal strike, the executive com
tmittee of the Bituminous Coal Opera
tors association issued a statement
fatty denying that the operators had
agreed to or been consulted in regard
to the settlement terms.
The operators denial was aimed spe
officially at a statement contained in
Mr.. Wilson's identical letter to the
three commissioners he has selected
Henry v. Robinson, Pasadena, Calf.
representing the public: John P
White, representing the miners, and
Rembrandt Peale of Pennsylvania, rep
resenting the operators, that the oper

agreed to" the governments pro
posal. 1t was met Immediately by q
statement from Attorney General Pal
mer declaring it would be ian amaz
ing reputation of their own state
ments" if the operators now failed tc
accept the settlement plan.
In his letter to Mr.. Robinson the
President reviewed the coal strike sit
uation and the various fruitless efforts
made to arrive at a settlement before
his own plan was proposed and adopt
ed by the miners. Mr.. Wilson said
he had been informed that the opera
tors "have generally agreed to the
plan and told the commissioners that
if in their judgment, after a full exam
nation of the facts" a readjustment
of the price Of coal shall be found nee
essary, che would clothe them with
the powers now vested in the Fuel ad
ministration TO carry out that judg
ment."

Admiral stirs Up Row Over
Awards Of Decorations To
Navy Officers.
DANIELS COMES BACK
Says "stormy Ps:"-l" Is a Little Pre-
vious In Declining Something
That Has Not Been Official,
Iy Offered Hin Vet.

MISUNDERSTANDING of dissetis-
faction within the navy at the way
Secretary Daniels has arranged the
awards Of decorations for war serv-
ice came to the surface, when It be-
came known that Admiral Sims, form
or commander OF American naval
forces in European waters, had de-
clined to accept his Distinguished
Service medal, while tie awards re-
main as at present.
AS the same time the -ew whicA up
to this time has been Il smouldsring
one, gave indication OF snowing up in
Congress. Chairman Page of the SEN
ate Naval committee ASKED for = re-
port on the awarding of the decora-
lions which Secretary Daniels trans
m;tted to him. Meanwhile R%epresen>
tative Lufkin, ct Massachusetts,, a
member Of the House Naval commit
tee, announced tnst he would ask the
House to call for a similar report.
Coming as the climax t. published
charges that Secretary Daniels had re-
arranged the whole list of awards,
raising some officers to higher d.stirc-
ton than recommended. and blue
pencilling" others publication ., Ad-
milal Sims actin created a scnsa-
tior and added a new chapter to the
long contest in which come naval Of

On the other hand Secretary DAniels

President Announces Properties
Will Be Given Back To Owners
On That Date.
LINES ALSO
Original Time Extended Because Con-
gress Failed To Pass Neces.
sary Legislation To Meet
Conditions Of Change.

Observation-Disclosures and operation
of the nations railroads., assumed by
the government as a war measure two
years ago, will revert to the owners
of the railroad properties next March
1 unless Congress by legislation fixes
an earlier date.
President Wilson, through a procla'
nation fixing March 1 as the date OF
the return, put at rest speculation as
to the time of the handing back of the
roads. The President in his last an.
'nouncement regarding the return,
made in an address to Congress in
May, said he intended to turn back the
roads at the end of the present year.
BY another proclamation, issued
with that in regard to the railroads,
the President ordered the dissolution
March 1 of the American Railway Elk
press. company, which was formed
July l, 1918, under government direc-
ton by consolidation of. the Adams,
American, Wells-Fargo and Southern
companies.
Extension by two months of the an.
nounced time for return of the rail.
roads was made, said a statement from
the White House accompanying the
proclamation, because Congress had
not enacted legislation to meet condi.
lions incident to the change in con
troll and operation. The President, the
statement said, had been advised that
neither the railroads nor the express
companies we're ready to manage their
properties il the plan to abandon gov.
eminent supervision December 81
should be carried out.
Leaders in Congress generally ex'
pressed approval of the Presidents
action. Some members predicted that
enactment Of the pending bill in some
form would enable a return prior to
March 1. The Esch-Cummins bill, now
in conference between the Senate and
House for adjustment Of differences,
would return the roads at the end of
the calendar month in which it was
approved by the President.
II think the President has done the
right thing" said Senator Cummins Of
Iowa, chairman of the Senate Inter,
state Commerce committee and chair
man of the subcommittee which
framed the legislation known as the
!ummins bill. at would have been
cry unfortunate if the roads had been
turned back before necessary legisla-
ton was enacted. Legislation to meet
conditions in connection with the re-
version of the properties undoubtedly
will be sent to the President within
the next month. 1t may be possible to
complete the legislation before the
end OF January"

FLAYS MINE OWNERS
Attorney General Says Their
Statement Is Absurd.
Declares Their Claim That They Were
Not Consulted On Coal Settle
ment Untrue.

Observation-Disclosures General Pal
mer in a statement denied the asser-
tons made by the coal operators
whose position he characterized as
"the merest bubble and quite un-
worthy Of the representatives of a
great industry"
The operators, the Attorney General
said, from the beginning had been
clamoring for arbitration and had
stated repeatedly their willingness to
conform to any plan which the Presi-
dent might suggest.
Their allegations now," continued
Mr.. Palmer, "that they were not con-
suited about the form of the memoir
andum, which was submitted to the
miners conference, is absurd"
The settlement proposal, as accep-
ted by the miners, the Attorney Gener-
al further declared, was submitted to
representatives of the operators in
Indianapolis, who in turn communicate
ed it to their representatives in Wash
ington.
"No objection was made" added
Mr.. Palmer. 1.-THE operators remained
absolutely silent until after the men
were back in the mines. Then for the
first time they begin to object.
Miners Relied on Promise.
THE miners went back to work in
obedience to the law and the orders of
the court without having their de.
mands granted. They relied, as they
had a right to rely, upon the promise
of the President that upon a com
Elete resumption of operations a com
mittee would be appointed to take up
the matters at issue. The officers of
the government had an equal right to
rely upon the good faith of the oper-
ators in their previous declarations of
agreement with this program. The
government will not assume that the
operators will break faith, and, in.
deed, ways will be found to keep
faith in this vitality important trans.
action. The commission will proceed
with its work and 1 have no doubt
that upon further reflection the oper.
ators will see the wisdom of hearty co.
operation with it,"
