the representatives of, the strikers iandi
graphing with freight congestion and
coal shortage problems generally, j.
D. a. Morrow, ce-president of the Ma,
tional Coal Association, issued a state-
ment protesting against any embargo
on coal exports.
More Cars Necessary
Mr.. Morrow placed the responsible
ity for the existing coal shortages, said
to be especially acute in New England,
on the commission. An embargo on
exports, which government officials
have been discussing, he asserted, was
wrong in principle and would not cure
the present difficulty" The only rem
edy, he added, is furnishing of more
cars to the mines.
if striking railroad men were restored
to their places, which he said now were
filled with inexperienced workers and
the seniority rights of the strikers
preserved, the freight jam would be
relieved immediately He charged that
the railroads were paying strike
breakers $25 and $50 day in compari-
son with the regular rate of $500, and
that the government eventually would
have to foot the bill.
The strikers representatives, fol-
lowing the conference, said that Com
missioner Eastman, who heard their
presentation, had agreed to lay the
matter before the full commission.
They quoted the commissioner as say
ing, however, that the commission
might hesitate to act as an arbter I'M
a labor despite because of the prcce-
dent that would be established.
Efforts of the Department of Justice
toward relieving the freight situation
continued to-day and it was under
stood that progress was being made.
A statement from the Attorney Gen
eral on the subject is expected within
the next few days.
Operators Make Statement
The statement by Mr.. Morrow on be-
half of coal operators of the country
declared the Interstate Commerce
Commission has full authority to re-
lieve the country from congestion.
"The railroads several weeks ago re
quested the commission to direct the
Placing of additional cars at the coal
mines,' Mr. Morrow said. "The Ma
tional Coal Association a month ago
requested the commission to take
prompt, decisive action so as to en-
able the operators to produce and dis
tribute an adequate supply of coal.
'ln the mean time, an unlawful and
unfair distribution Of railroad cars
among the mines, put into effect by tho
carriers, with the apparent sanction OF
New-York tribune., 1920-06-17

La Guardia, yesterday, convinced the
leaders of the unions that the Legion
has taken no part on the side of the
merchants in the present conflict. The
Legion was represented at the meeting
by State Commander Wade II. Hayes,
Lieutenant Colonel Robert NJ. Watkins,
viee-chairman Of the New York
Countyxs-- ganization and W. +. CoNins
The union men present at the meeting
were John F. Riley, president Of the
District Council of the international
Longshoremen's Association; William
Delaney, an international organizer.
Martin Dyer, business agent, and Wal
ter F. Bruce, of the Stevedore Fore
mems Union. Major j. P. Hallihan, of
Colonel Molitor's Office, was also pres
ent.
The Legion representatives asserted
that the Legion members working on
the trucks are doing so on their own
initiative and responsibility and with
out any approval or action by the LIE
gion. The Legion spokesmen asserted
also that they doubted whether many
of the men emlyoyed on the trucks
are members of organization, although
they may be wearing Legion buttons.
The union leaders were convinced that
the Legion is neutral in Ne tght be
tween the merchants and me unions
and promised so to report to their
rank and file. As q result Of TIE
meeting the union leaders have aban
doned their plan of having the Legion
condemned as strike breaking or
ganization by the convention of the
American Federation of Labor now IN
session at Montreal.
Unions Fully Satisfied
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mr.. La Guardia said that while some
people may hope to involve the Le
gion in economic disputes ! think that
the men themselves Will not be
cajoled" Mr. La Guardia said that
in making this statement he spoke as
a humble member of the rank and
file"
So satisfied were the union leaders
with the stand and declarations of the
Legion's spokesmen and with the fact
that the latter acted in good faith
that they offered to admit any member
of the Legion into the unions of the
longshoremen and teamsters without
the payment of the customary inltia-
ton fee.
Major Hallihan and Riley clashed at
the conclusion of the meeting over the
purpose of the new trucking system,
Riley charging that it was created as
& strike breaking organization. This
was Indignantly denied by Major Hal
lihan, who contended that the new sys-
tenn was devised solely to meet the
present freight congestion emergency.
Riley refused to accept this and re-
peated his threat of calling out the
deep sea longshoremen by June 26, thus
tying up the port, unless the long
shoremen's demands are granted by
that date.
Later. however, Riley raised new
hope for an early termination of the
tie-up caused by the coastwise long
shoremen by declaring that if the com
mittee representing the unions now in
Washington will be given assurances
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will grant an increase in freight

Efforts Being Made To Persuade Him
To Accept Compromise OF Article
Ten.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March 6-White
House officials discussing the move
ment of the administration senator's
to arrange conference with Presi-
dent Wilson to discuss the peace trea-
ty situation. It is said the President
told Senator Glass two weeks ago,
what his attitude was toward the
Compromise on Article Ten No de-
cision has yet been made whether the
President will see the senator's, but
some of the administration officials
have suggested that those who are
trying to persuade the President to
accept Article Ten Compromise,
should bend their efforts toward Sc
curing Senator Lodge, Republican lsa-
der, to accept it.
The Presidents attitude as reflect
ed at the White House is learned with
manifest disappointment by those
working for the compromise.

ROBBERY OCCURS
AT ANTOON STORE
Negroes Brake Plate Glass Door And
Gain Admittance To The Build
ing-Get S24.

The plate glass door in front of
the Antoon Department Store was
broken a few nights ago and the store
was looted by negroes. One of the
local policemen was at the Kitchell
Hotel and heard the crash of breaking
glass. Upon reaching the front of the
store, he discovered negro, whom it
was supposed had broken the door,
making his escape at the rear.
The officer searched the store, but
could find no trace of anyone else in
side the building and supposed that
the fleeing negro had attempted the
burglary by himself.
The next morning, however, a door
leading to the attic was discovered
ajar, and it is believed that some of
the robbers were concealed in the at
tic, while the police were searching
the store.
After the departure of the officers
the thieves left their Kidding place
and robbed the cash drawer of about
$24 and some articles of clothing are
missing.
No clue has been obtained by the
police as to the identity Of the thieves.

ENOUGH COAL in
CITY FOR 3 DAYS
Supply Is Low, But Shipment Is Ex-
pected BY MOnday-Greenville
and Jackson Without Fuel.

1t is believed that the coal shortage,
which is affecting towns near Green
wood, will not become acute here for
at least several days as the manag-
er- for one of the coal company's sta
ted this morning that he had on hand
sufficient amount to supply the needs
of the people here until Tuesday, and
felt confident that he would receive
more by the first Of the week.
Mr.. L. Stoner stated this morning
that he was entirely out of coal and
had been unable to secure supply.
The empty coal bins are due to the
shortage of freight cars and in some
places the situation is acute. Mr.. II.
G. Coburn, manager for the Stroud
Coal Co. said his company could sup
ply Greenwood for two or three days.
jackson and Greenville are almost
completely out of fuel and the situa-
ton is serious in these places. A tel
ephone message from Jackson stated
that there was not more than a half
ton of coal in all of the retail yards
in the capital city. A like situation
is said to prevail in Greenville.

WILL YOU HELP?

Newspaper reporters find it increas-
ingly difficult to run down the news
happenings of community. The COM
ings and goings of people are not so
easy to get as they once were. Once
the reporter haunted the railway sta
ton and picked up much of his news
matter there. But the station no long
er yields up the personal mention it
once did. More people travel by auto
than-hy trainssand SO personal events
the .gonigs and comings, escape the
eyes of the news gatherer.
That makes it all the more import
ant that readers turn in their news
items at the newspaper office. That
is the only way to insure that men
ton of something interesting which
has happened in or to your household
is duly chronicled.

COST OF PAVING
TO BE INCREASED
Original Material Contracted For
Sl3S,OO0-City May Purchase
Asphalt Plant.

The cost of the paving contracted
for and under the course of construct
ion at the present in Greenwood, the
material of which waas recently or
dered changed by the City Council,
will cost approximately $215,OO0, ac-
cording to figures which were given
out this morning. The paving under the
original contract would have cost
$138 900.
In many cities the paving which
was first contemplated for Green
wood, proved thoroughly satisfactory
but the material was not adapted to
the soil here and after a thorough
test, it was deemed advisable by the
City Council to make change.
In connection with the new mater
ial required for a concrete base with
coating of asphalt which has been Or
dered, the City is contemplating the
purchase of a new asphalt plant for
preparing the asphalt. This equip
ment can be purchased for about So
900 and will be an addition to the
City's street equipment. Mr.. F. I
Walker, city engineer and street COM
missioner, left yesterday for Cincin.
natl, O., where he will look at the
machine and decide whether or not il
is advisable for Greenwood to pur-
chase same.
The asphalt plant can be used fol
repairing any of the paved streets
in the city, some of which are nov
badly in need of same.

STRANDED MAN
ARRESTED HERE
Had Been Lettering About The Gem
etery and Sleeping In Easements
In Greenwood For Week.

One of the most uncouth and ragg-
ed specimens of humanity, who gave
his name as Joe -Silverberg, was ar
rested lettering about the Greenwood
cemetery yesterday. The fellow was
about twenty eight years old and had
on several suits of clothing, all of
which were badly torn and dirty. He
had been loafing around the cemetery
for about week, when the police were
notified and he was taken in charge.
The man told Mayor Hughston he
was furniture painter and was from
South Bend, Ind, enroute to Los An
geles, Calf, in hopes of finding a
warmer climate. He is crippled, one
leg being shorter than the other. He
told the officers he had suffered a
stroke of paralysis.
A number of the Jewish citizens Of
the city, interested themselves in the
case and provided him with the prop
er clothes, and made up purse sufh-
cient to send him back to South Bend,
Ind.
When the fellow was first arrested,
he was believed to be negro as he
was so black and dirty from sleeping
in coal cars. He told the officers he
had been in Greenwood about week
and had been sleeping in various base
ments in the city, to gain shelter from
the cold.
After the man was shaved and Civ
en- new clothing, his picture was TAX
en- by the city officers.

PAT HARRISON
ADDRESSES THE
State Legislature Urges Holding
Presidential Primary Election To
Name Delegates To National
Convention.

Senator Pat Harrison was in Jack
son yesterday and by invitation ad-
dressed the State Legislature. Among
other things discussed our distinguish
ed Junior Senator urged the election
of delegates to the National Democ-
ratio Convention by the voters in pri-
mary. election, which The Daily Cone.
monwealth indorses. On this subject
Senator Harrison said:
''To my opinion, delegates from Mis-
sissippi to the next Democratic con-
vention should reflect the sentiment
of the people of the state. If ma
jority of Mississippians feel that the
party's legislative achievements
should be repudiated, it's entrance into
apd management of the war unwise
and inefficient, and that the principles
for which it is contending in settle
ment Of the war are wrong, then del
egates entertaining such views should
be sent from Mississippi to the next
Democratic convention. If, on the 9TH
er hand, the unterrified Democracy Of
Mississippi indorses the glorious rec
ord that the party had made and ap-
proves of it's conduct in the manage
ments of the war, and the cause for
which it has stood in connection with
the treaty of peace, then delegates en-
tertaining such views should repre-
sent Mississippi at the coming Dem
ocratic convention.
"In this controversy the voice of
Mississippi should speak. The test
should come, and it should come not
in state convention, but through the
ballot at the polls. The people of
every precinct of every county of the
state should be given an opportunity
to express themselves and to show
the kind and brand Of their Democ-
racy. I hope, therefore, that you and
every other Democrat in Mississippi
who are proud of the record Of the
party and the glory of the state will
see to it that the proper committee Of
the Legislature considers the question
Of submitting the selection of dele
gates, both congressional and from
the state at large, to the national
Democratic convention to the voters
of he state in an election to be called
by the state executive committee"
The bill requires state executive
committees to call primary elections
not later than 80 and not sooner than
60 days before the national conven-
ton is held.
