nouncement by the Southern Ohio
Coal exchange that it's members op..
Grating mines in the southern Ohio
fields. would discontinue negotiation
of wage scales in joint meetings with
other districts in the central competi-
tive field and propose an individual

not provide for the check-off system
of collection of union dues, was re-
garded in various lights here today.
Not Blow at Unions.
Coal operators. including w. d. Nc
Kinney. secretary of the exchange
declared that the action of their or
ganization, taken at meeting late
yesterday, was not intended as
"blow to unionized labor" but that
they were driven to the move by
the ability of concerns in West Vir-
ginia and other fields to undersell
them.
While officials of the Ohio miners
association maintained silence. express
sions of opinion from other quarters
indicated belief that the decision of
the operators was the initial move in
an effort to establish open Shop
conditions in the Hooking Valley
fields where practically all the hold
ings operated by the seventy members
of the exchange are located.
Letter to Lewis.
The first hint that esta tablishment OF
the new system of wage fixing had
been decided upon came with publ
cation late yesterday of letter sent
by the exchange to John l.. Lewis. in
ternational president of the United

! plying to a letter from Lewis request
ing that Representatives be sent to
Pittsburg to decide with miners rep
resentatives upon the date for a wage
conference for all central competitive
| field districts, the operators fatty re-
fused to participate. saying that the
| plan of fixing wages employed in the
past has seriously contributed to the
existing state Of extreme poverty and
| business depression throughout south
ern Ohio.
The new wage proposal, 1t was In
dicated, would be submitted early in
! April. The agreement under which
! operators and miners in Ohio, western

japan Unwilling to Make Further
Concessions.
Washington, Dec. oT.-The nego-
tiations over Shantung took on
a more serious aspect today
when the japanese, after receipt
of fresh instructions from Toxic, let
it be known that they were not pre-
pared to make any further conces-
sions in their exchanges with the Chi
nese over return of the Tsing-Tao-
Tsinan Flu railroad. The Chinese al
ready have declared they can go no
further toward a compromise, but in
some conference circles there still is
hope that the two groups may be
brought together.
Meantime the new four-power Pa
cifc treaty, already signed by the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan, got back into conference
discussions through suggestion from
Japanese quarters that the four pow
ers agree not to apply the terms of
the pact to the principal islands OF
the japanese empire. In view Of diff
ferences of view developing in the
United States and Japan as to the
meaning of the treaty the Japanese
were said to be considering the sug-
gestion Of such an interpretative
agreement.
An Interpretation not applying the
treaty to the major Japanese islands
would be reversal of the under
standing said to have existed among
the delegations when tha treaty was
signed. It would be adverse also to
the Interpretation announced by the
American delegation. but in harmony
with that voiced by President Hard
ing. Should the Toxic government
decide formally to suggest such an
agreement. the move might precipi-
tate an intricate situation in the con-
ference.
