the bituminous miners in formulating
policies which will govern the nego-
tiation of new wage agreements with

This action, which will consolidate

WASHINGTON, May 17-Represen-

fore the house judiciary committee
yesterday to give their views concern
ing the bill to further strengthen the
Vlostead law, particularly as to. the
sale of medical beer, protested Wig
orously against legislation which they
said, tended to restrict the legitimate
use of alcohol in industry.
Existing law, they contended, should
be clarified to prevent unwarranted
governmental interference and now
legislation aimed at tighter enforce
ment of the prohibition amendment,
should specifically exempt from re-
striction denatured alcohol, which, it
was pointed out, cannot be used for
beverage purposes.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE house
committee investigating the escape of
Grover c. Bergdoll, the draft dodger,
got down to the loose ends today with
out another glimps of the rainbow which
was supposed to point the way to the
pot Of gold. Only few more witnesses
are to be examined and the committee
expects to close public hearings tomor-

1t was established to the satisfaction
Of the committee today that ID. Clarence
Gibboney, counsel for Bergdoll, and the
man who arranged the expedition to the
mountains of Maryland to find the buried
treasure, was drowned in Mexican wa
ters last winter. Because of persistent
reports that Gibboney was alive on fer
eign soil, the committee called DR.. Will

who declared positively that Gibboney
was dead. The dentist said he had ex-
amined the body shipped to Philadelphia
from Mexico and that identification was
established by the teeth.

MRS. BERCDOLL
IS SENTENCED
Is to Pay a Fine of $1,000 or
s1'end One Year in Atlanta
Federal Prison.
AIDED TWO SONS IN
EVASION OF DRAFT
Like Fine Is Imposed on Two
Codefendants in the Con-
spiracy Case.
(sy Tho Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, May 17-Mrs Emma
Bergdoll was today sentenced to pay a
fine of $1,000 for the part she was con-
victed of having taken in the evasion
of the draft laws of her sons. Grover
and Erwin Bergdoll. If she refuss or
of the United District court imposed the
alternative sentence of one year and
one day in the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, Ga. Her fine must be paid by
June Is.
A like fine with the same alternative
was imposed upon two of her co-defen-
dants in the conspiracy case. One was
her son, Charles F. Braun, who changed
his name because of the notoriety
achieved by his brothers, and the other
her lifelong friend and counsellor, James
E. Romig. The other two defendants,
Albert Mitchell and Harry Schuh, were
fined $1,000 each with the alternative OF
spending six months in the Mercer .coun-
ty Jail at Trenton, N. J..
Counsel for the defendants Immediate
ly filed formal appeal from the SEN
tence. This action, the clerk of the
court explained, was for the purpose of
staying execution of the sentence, as
otherwise the defendants would have
been sent to jail Immediately. :
Judge Dickinson, in pronouncing sem
tence upon Mrs. Bergdol, declared there
was no way of ascertaining how
much Of her guilt was the act of fond
and foolish mother and while her mo-
tive did not affect her guilt. it might
mitigate the punishment. Her heaviest
punishment, he added, would be the
thought that her sons had brought dis
grace upon her.
No one would wish to see mother
sent to Jail for merely helping her sons,
guilty as they were, he said.
In sentencing Romig, who is 20 years
old, Judge Dickinson said his only claim
to leniency was his age. He censured
the former city magistrate in blunt
terms. Braun's motives, Judge Dick
inson said, had perhaps been the best
of any of the defendants, and he did
not consider it just to punish him more
severely than the others. He pointed
that the jury had recommended mercy
in the case of Mitchell and Schulz
AS she walked out of the courtroom,
Mrs. Bergdoll turned to newspaper men
and said:
Never will I pay fine.> Perhaps l
shall. go to Jail. Maybe I'd be better
off so.'
The five defendants We're released in
$4,000 bail each pending an appeal.

TALLAHASSEE, May 17.-Senator
Johnson's bill fixing the compensa-
tion of county tax assessors and col
lectors on a new basis, was under dis
cussion in the senate Tuesday after
noon when the point of order was made
that the hour of adjournment had ar
rived and the body quit for the day.
The bill is designed to cut down the
big fees paid to some of the larger
counties without hitting the officers
in the smaller counties who are not
paid over high. Both tax collectors
and assessors are paid on the basis of
the tax paid. The basis proposed in
the bill follows:
First $4,000, 10 per cent; $4,000, 5
per cent; $4,000, 11a per cent. All
rest one-half per cent.
The law will take effect in January,
1925, so will not hit anyone now in
office. Senator Turnbull proposed to
make the third bracket in the list read
$500 instead of $4,000, which was
adopted.

that IL would hold hearings June 6 re-
Garding proposals by the roads to de-
crease the wages OF other classes of en-

Nearly hundred cases in all were thus

In presenting their case, the roads
pleaded that they were being forced to

planned that under this agreement, the

convention for the tri-district meet
ing at which time the anthracite
forkers would complete their de-
mands.
Officials of the anthracite miners
pointed out that under the new plan,
which originated with the interna-

FOR RECENT OUTBREAKS in COAL
MINING REGION OF WEST VIRGINIA
Labor Union Head Says Attack
Begun on Tent Colony of
Union Workers.
: (ey The As.ocIated Press., ,

WILLIAMSON, W. Va, May H.
Peace reigned tonight throughout the
entire West Virginia, Kentucky border
zone along the Tug river in the Mingo
region.
Sheriff A. c. Pinson of Mingo county,
said he had verified reports that there
had been a few scattered shots during
the afternoon in the Kentucky hills op--
posite Merrimac, w. Va. None Of the
shots struck in that town. There had
been no other firing in the district since
Monday night, he said.
The sheriff and Captain J. r. Brockus
of the state police, conferred at length
here late today with Major c. F. Thomp-
son, L. S. A, observer sent to REPORT
on the situation. All declined to dis
cuss the conference.
In statement issued here tonight,
Frank Keeny, president of District No.
II, United Mine Workers of America,
charged that "the coal operators" Gov
ernor Morgan and corporation officials
of Mingo county, were directly respons-
ible for the situation existing in the
Williamson coal district. Harry Ohm
stead, chairman of the labor committee
of the Williamson coal operators asso-
citation, also issued statement in which
he declared that the outbreaks in the
region express the sentiment of the
United Mine Workers of America over
the failure of the strike inaugurated last
July to force recognition of the union"
Mr.. Keeny said he had employed
secret service men, to investigate the
battles that have ragged during the last
few days. He said that these men had
established that the battle at McCarr.
KY. where the Album Coal company
mines are located, was begun by an
attack from the Album plant on a tent
colony of union miners and that the
union men waited more than an hour"
before returning the fire.
Asked concerning charges that union
organizers had thrown arms and ammu-
milton from trains for union men, Mr.
Kenny said:
THAT report is false. I would not
smuggle arms in. l have q right TO
bring them in openly as the operators
are doing and, if 1 decide to do so, I'll
first make an open declaration of my
intention to do so.'
The statement from Mr.. Olmstead
said:
This strike was definitely broken as
long ago as. last June. Since January
there has been a surplus of labor and
production has suffered only because Of
lack of market.
'1t was to drive these workers from
their employment and to revive conf
dence in the ultimate success of the
union among it's decimated ranks that
the ruthless warfare on an unprecedented
scale, witnessed since last Thursday,
was commenced
I'm not a single instance has any coal
or its employees been the ag-
gressor. Is
"All the firing has been precipitated
by hidden bands of riflemen that di-
rected their shots at workmen, their
homes, the tipples. commissaries, office
and other inhabitated places in the
Mingo communities"
