Both sides in the wage controversy between the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and it's employees today were examining witnesses who will offer testimony here tomorrow at the hearing before the state industrial commission The hearing is expected to continue two or three days. The sole question involved, according to interpretation by United Mine Work CTS officials of statements of commits sion members, is whether the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company violated the state industrial law in announe- ing wage cuts without giving 50 days notice to the workers.
 Previous announcements by mem bers of the industrial commission were to the effect that if the com mission determined that the company had violated the law the matter would be placed in the hands of the district attorney of Huerfano county for action.
 F. II. Weitzel, general manager of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, announced after the industrial com mission had taken jurisdiction Tn the controversy that the company had put wage reductions in effect only in mines where a majority Of the em- ployes had signed petitions asking a reduction. He said that the coih- pany felt it was justified in reducing wages where the employees mad re- quested it.

DUBLIN, Sept. S.-Arthur Griffith and other Sim Fein leaders awaited this evening with some impatience the arrival of Robert C. Barton. who is carrying the British cabinets reply to Ireland, because although its terms are known, Sim Feiners are anxious to learn further details
 Printed forecasts prepared the public for a much stiffer note. Sim Fein leaders are still silent. respect ing their intentions but in other Irish political circles the opinion is expressed that MT. Lloyd George has shown a disposition to meet all dif- faculties.
 MT. Lloyd Georges letter leaves for further conference all points of objection raised by Mir de Valera and goes back to the sole condition under which the original negotiations are understood to have taken place.
 The next step will be consideration of the letter by the Dali Eireann cabinet A reply will then be drafted Although Republican leaders de- cline to discuss the matter. those in touch with them regard it as certain that they will accept the invitation to meet at Inverness. In such event plenipotentiaries would be selected. Arthur Griffith, as foreign minister. would be one, while Michael Collins. commander of the Irish Republican army and finance minister. is pos sibility.
 Prof. Jeren MacNeil is considered likely selection, as he Is a member of parliament for Derry, within the area of the northern parliament He is considered the best exponent of the attitude of the Ulster National ist minority.

Arizona Governor Requests Troops
 For Border Town
IRepubIIean A. D. Leased Wirel

MORALES. Ariz.. Sept. S.-Gov. Thomas E. Campbell has requested the secretary of war at Washington to order detachment of troops sent to Ruby and Lochiel in Santa Cruz county to protect Americans at those points from raids by bandit bands from Mexico. according to word re- ceived here today by County Attorney A. H. de Riemer.
 The governors request for troops was based on a petition signed by number of citizens of this county ask ing that federal soldiers be sent to those points and calling attention to the murders committed by alleged bandits at Ruby. Among the mur- ders mentioned in the petition were the deaths of Postma aster and Mrs. Frank J. Pearson at Ruby recently.
 About a week ago orders were re- ceived at Camp Stephen D. Little here for troops to be sent to Ruby the next morning, but before the sol diers started the order was counter manded. Then the county attorney was informed that the proper pro cedure was for the governor to take the matter uD with the secretary of war. Mir. de Riemer took the subject up with the governor and the gov ernor asked Secretary Weeks for troops.

Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

BELFAST. Sept. S.-Ulster virtu- ally would be certain to be the sub ject of discussion at the Inverness conference. while the northern cabi- net apparently would not be repre- sented- Listers position was laid down in a letter written by Sir James Craig. Ulster premier, to MT. Lloyd George August 14. in which the premier declared a meeting be- tween himself and MT. de Valera was impossible until Mir. de Valera recognized that the northern parlia- ment would not submit to any other authority than that of the king and the parliament of the United King dom. There did not seem to be the slightest intention here of receding from that stand.
 Criticism is included in the Belfast comment of what is termed the Brit ish cabinets abandonment of the six essentials in the British proposals. It Is declared in some quarters that if MT. de Valera remains firm he might bring about a conference abso- luteIy without conditions.

 WAGE HEARING TODAY

also declared that in some instances the company agents circulating the petitions had been accompanied in house to house canvass by the camp marshal. The marshafs presence was an intimidating factor, McLen- nan contends. Under the Rockefeller plan McLennan says wages cannot be reduced without 30 days notice. Granting he argues, that a majority of the men in some camps signed the petition of a reduction, waiving their rights to a 30 days notice, they can not take this right from the men who did not sign the petitions.
 Romilly E. F'oote, local attorney, will represent the miners at the hearing, the appointment having been announced today by McLennan. Fred Farrar, attorney for the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, will probably represent the company although no announcement was made by the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company officials.
 In connection with his announce ment Sunday that the miners could not abide by decision involving a reduction in wages, President Me Lehman made the following statement tonight:
 The miners are working under the terms of the award of the United States bituminous coal commission appointed by President Wilson.
 This award covers the period until April. 1922. The miners are willing to abide by the decision of the federal commission and We expect to dc everything within our power of our organization to prevent any coal oper- ator in Colorado from setting this award aside"
 General Manager Weitzed of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company

 BOSTON. Sept. s-Jobless men were placed on the auction block on Boston common today. Stripped to the waist after the custom of the old slave auctions. they declared their willingness to work by standing be- fore a crowd of thousands offering their services to the highest bidder.
 "Shorn lambs of unemployment" their auctioneer. Urbain Ledoux. called them. Ledoux, a philanthropic worker who recently opened the church of the unemployed" led 50 men to the common to bring home to the people, he said, their stories of human misery. just as William Lloyd Garrison pleaded for the slaves there 70 years ago. It was to prove his charges were good citizens out of a job that he put some of them on the block, he said
 Ledoux' efforts were not rewarded. Of the three who stood up for bids none got a job. although the crowd pledged help to tide them over a week or two while they sought employ ment Their leader said, however, he considered he had brought their
  pose to public attention, and he am nounced that the auction was to be daily event, to be continued at least this month.
 Ledoux and his men, box lunches in hand, came to the common from his headquarters where he has fed hundreds While they ate he called for volunteers to stand at auction, prepared to work for a week for the highest bidderss Eight men stepped out, two World war veterans, most of them in clothing and shoes well worn. Each was asked how long he had been out of work and without food and shelter.
 One man had not worked for a | year. Another had eaten only twice a week in six months of unemploy- i ment.
 James Ferris. ?. an upstanding man who said he had served four years | in the army, was called to the block 1 He stripped to the waist and while l Ledoux waited, went through the army calisthenics to show his muscle | development.
 This is one of the men that you used in the war. What will you do with him now? How much will you bid for this mans services for week | in order that he may have food and | shelter?" the auctioneer asks.
 Bids were made but when they were called those who had made them had slipped away. Ferris was then declared to be without a bidder.
 A dog was brought to the block. He was knocked down for $1 with the i condition. accepted by the successful bidder, that he be returned to the church of the unemployed" as its mascot.
 Joseph Mitchell. a negro. was then called. His shoes were without soles and his clothing was ragged. Reply | ing to Ledoux' questions he said that I he had been without food for days | at a time in the six months he had been out of job.
 | There was no bid and the auction ! ger called on the crowd to pledge him food and shelter for week. Mrs Annie Jackson responded and weni the auctioneer one better by saying she would be responsible for Mitch els sustenance and shelter for a sec ond week if necessary. John Farley , wearing a G A.

Wheat Exports In
 August Should Be
 Help To Business
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Unprece- dented exports of wheat during Au- gust should react favorably on agri- cultural and business conditions, Sec retary Hoover declared today. Ac- cording to his reports wheat exports the past month totalled 33,595, ,000 bushels, or about four times the vol ume of any pre-war figures for Au- gust.
 Increase in the movement of wheat, he said. should ease the credit situa- tion through a lessened demand on the war finance corporation. Exports of wheat to Europe have been grow ing, he added, notwithstanding that the European crop has been above normal while the crop in this country has fallen below the average. The failure of the potato crop in Europe, he explained. has forced use of wheat products as a substitute.
