Attack on Wages Denied
iHC Dodiu Ol TduO ISSUED an OIHC1al
report of to-day's negotiations, for the
enlightenment Of the public. The re-
port sets forth the arguments of both
sides and, concluding with q strong re-
pudiation Of the accusation that tho
government is engaged in general at
tack on wages, says:
such charge is as monstrous as it
is unfounded. The government and the
community alike arc desrous that the
best wages should be paid in every in
dustry that such industry can afford"
The council Of the Independent La
Dor party called upon all its members
to support the miners by every means
in their power, declaring the crisis was
due to IAN attempt on the part of or
ganized capitalism to establish the
right Of unlimited plumber and degrade
the standard of living, which must be
resisted at all costs"
A verbatim report of the conference
which the miners had at the Prime
Minister'S residence shows that in
reply to the governments demand for
the return of the safety crews as
preliminary to further negotiations
Comm tteeman Stalker, of the miners
executive body. said:
man, but / would rather capitulate alb
solutely than enter into negotiations
with Il condition Of that kind laid down
before hand"
The Prime Minister urged his condi-
ton strongly. "All we are asking" he
said, "is that while negotiations are
going on firing shall cease and the
armies stand to their arms"
Holds Naturalization First
Committeeman Smith, another of
the miners, interposed:
without being fed--that is what
your conditions are. 1t is no use bar
gaining about this. We nave got to
get these two Fundamental principles
agreed to-a national wages board and
a national pool. Then we can talk about
the safety men"
The Prime Minister answered this by
saying:
''lf you insist upon that and say the
safety of the mines will not be con-
ceded that you will not permit our
taking the necessary steps to insure
the safety of the mines until we have

Hoover Asks Exemptions
On Foreign Business

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Exemption
of the profits of American concerns do
ing business in foreign countries from
the American excess profits and in
come tax laws was advocated to-day by
Secretary Hoover
Complaints have been received from
American concerns in all parts of the
world, Mr.. Hoover said, that they were
forced to compete with foreign houses
that paid only local taxes, while Amer
lean concerns paid excess profits and
income taxes at home in addition to the
dues in the foreign countries.
Mr.. Hoover declared that provision
should be made to exempt American
concerns from that portion of their
profits derived from foreign business to
enable them to meet competition.
Complaint against the present system
was made to-day, Mr.. Hoover said, by
representatives of the Federated Cham.
ber Of Commerce of Mexico, which in
cluded the American chamber there.

The Premier said he understood that
Messrs. Henderson, Clynes and Thomas
had suggested the government might
call a conference of the miners and
mine owners to consider first the ques-
tion of pumping, which should be dis
posed of before other questions were
entered upon. II there was a dsposi-
ton to accept this suggestion, the
Premier said, the government was GER
talnly ready to take steps to call the
parties together, stipulating that the
pumping question should be cleared up
before any others were considered.
He still considers that the procedure
he had previously urged was best, be-
cause conferences between the miners
and mine owners were unwieldy. But

regret that the Premier had not given
notice of such an important statement,

suggestion it apparently was due, and

Americas Premier Jumper Shows

Cambridge, Mass, July 19.-Rich-
mond Landon, Yale's premier high
jumper, may have unknowingly helped
the Cambridge Oxford track team to
defeat Harvard and Yale here Saturday.
Burns and Dickinson, England's best
jumpers, can do only feet 10 inches,
but Landon, in a spirit Of comrade-
ship, gave them some coaching yester-
day, with the result. that the visitors
showed vast improvement before they
left Soldiers field. Neither IS expected
to beat Landon, but, in case both
teams should be tied in first place, an
improved Briton might sway the en-
gagement to the English, as second
places will be used in the event OF a
deadlock. Krogness: of Harvard, who is
to jump with Landon, is only a bit bet
ter than the Britons.
