ton on the purchase price of $22.4O
per hundred pounds. He admitted

MINERS HEAD SAYS
LABOR'S FOR HARDING
(By Associated Press)

MARION, O., Sept 21.-W. J. James
of Illinois, national representative OF
the United Mine Workers for Illinois,
today discussed labor and political
conditions with Senator Harding. Re-
publican presidential candidate. After
the conference Mr. James issued a
statement in which he said:
Being a Republican, l am for the
Republican party and the Harding
Coolidge ticket l find that miners
who are Republicans and going to sup
port Harding, and those who are Dem
ocrats will support Cox. President
Gomper's effort to deliver the labor
vote to the Democratic ticket will fail
just as it always has failed.
Percy Tetlow, statistician of the
United Mine Workers of America, is
out for Harding, and will shortly be
on the stump for him. John Moore,
recently president of the United Mine
Workers of Ohio, is likewise vigorous
ly supporting the Republican ticket.
The Democratic effort to control the
labor vote, and particularly the min
ers, has resulted in failure because
the workingmen have studied the rec
ords of the two candidates and the
two parties, and the Republican can
didates and program have made such
an appeal that the Democratic propa-
ganda has failed completely"
Late today Senator Harding will ad-
dress a delegation of the Loyal Order
of the Golden Heart of the World from
Columbus. Mrs. Harding has received
a telegram from women members of
the California delegation which recent
ly visited Marion, asserting that they
have been thrilled and inspired by
their visit with you and Senator
Harding"
