COAL OPERATORS

 FIGHT UN|0N|SM|
Say Reputation of U. M. w. for Breaking Contracts Has Become Notorious In
 Industrial History
By Associated Prcss

Washington, July 18.--Determina- ton of coal operators In the Mingo, West Virginia. field to coftfnue their resistance to efforts to unfonize miners was expressed today before the Senate Investigating committee by Harry olmsted, representing the operators in that section.
 The reputation of the United Mine Workers organization" de- clsred Olmsted, who was the only witness heard today, flor breaking it's contracts and halting or suspend ing the operation of mines for weeks at time without just reason or ex- cuse has become notorious in the history of industry"
 Operators in the Mingo region, the committee was told also oppose the miners union because of the con sp!racy entered into between that organiza ton and the operators of four competitive states-Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsyl- vannia-wherein it was proposed that the output from thls state (West Virginia) shoud not be permitted to grow. but should be suppressed. by means of unionlzing, in order that the market might be retained by the competitors of the four states Mir. Olmsted charged the gen eral attitude" of the United Mine Workers opposed institutions of our government" and that restrictions imposed by the union tend to de- crease production, lower efficiency and destroy initiative"
 The operators" the witness con- tiucd. do not propose to surrender the relations that have heretofore existed between themselves and their workmen."
 MT. Olmsted declared he could prove "a large number of instances where strikers or organizers, or gun men. acting for the United Mine Workers and in behalf of their al legged strike, have fired upon, killed and wounded soldiers and police or ficers"
 Mine owners of the country have time to time bought ammunition ana guns to be used for the protection of themselves. their workmen and their property" he said, because prior to January l. officials in Minso county were apparently without m clAnation to secure arrests or to sup press crime"
 Mir. Olmsted contended that since January 1, with better order main tained, there has not existed Tn Min go what properly could be called a "strikeA or "lockout." Men have TO- turned to the mines and have 'pur- sued their work from day to day. Almost continuously in the face or gun firing. under insults, and m oe- fiance of the assaults, threats anu intimidations of the organizers or the United Mine Workers
 Mir. Olmsted quoted statlstics which he said proved that miners m the non-union Mingo field were as an average on higher pay scaie than those in unionized district. One driller. working 26 days during May, earned s732, he said

FEDERAL RESERVE
 BANK HEADS MEET
To Formulate Uniform Cotton Loan Policy During the
 Coming Season
By Associated Press

Washington, July 1S.-Representa- tives of the five federal reserve dis tricts comprising the major cotton growing sections of the country will meet tomorrow with Governor Hard ing of the federal reserve board to formulate uniform policy for cotton loans during the coming marketing season.
 Those expected to attend are: J. z. Miller, governor of the Kansas City Reserve bank George J. Seay, governor of the Richmond bank; David C. Biggs. governor of the St. Louis bank; NJ. B. wellborn, gov ernor of the Atlanta bank and W F. Ramsey, chairman of the board of the Dallas bank.
 A representative of the San Fran cisco bank. the only other cotton growing section of the country, could not attend the conference be- cause of insufficient time to reach Washington from the Pacific coast but Governor Harding explained that the cotton situation on the coast was not related to the other districts. The purpose of the conference ac- cording to the governor is to perfect a programme for cotton loans dur ing the coming marketing season which would permit the extension of necessary credits throughout the cotton sections on the same general terms in all five districts and which would carry out the boards policy for the orderly marketing of the crop. The governor indicated that because of the change in the cotton situation, both at home and abroad in the past few months. the cotton loan policy would cover fully all such questions as terms maturities and the adequacy of security.

HOUSE PLACES O|L
 ON FREE LIST BY
 TWO ID ONE VOTE
Long Staple Cotton Changed From Free List to Dutlable List at Fifteen Per Cent
 Ad VaIorem
By Associated Press

w d5iAiiB tVii, Jdiy VII NVhA O4i the Fordney tariff free list today by q House vote of more than two to one.
 Long staple cotton, on the free. list in the ways and means committee draft however, was put on the dutia- ble list at Is per cent ad valorem with members in doubt as to what compensatory rates on all cotton goods would be considered necessary by reason of the imposition of a tax on the raw product. There was no explanation of the committees action in deciding at the last moment not to take tho ordinary variety of cot ton such as Is raised in the south from the free list.
 The real flareup was over the oil schedule. It broke at the outset of the session after Chairman For1ney had presented a letter from Presi- dent Harding opposing the tax, and suggesting rather a bargaining pro- vision to be placed In his hands to guard against the levy of duties against us or the imposition by other nations of export tariffs which are designed to hinder the facilities of trade"
 Follows Long Debate.
 The first vote on the contested oil amendment came after three and a half hours of debate. Representa- tive Garrett, of Tennessee, demo- cratic leader tried to shut off de- bate at once so that the bll he ex- plained, might be taken up for amendment under the ordinary five minute rule, but republicans rejected his proposal by straight party vote.
 Then at the end of the long period of talk, the first test was on an amendment by Representative Carter democrat, Oklahoma to cut the com mittee rates on crude oil from 35 to 25 cents and fuel oil from 25 to 2u cents barrel. The Carter proposal won, 143 to 47, democrats support ing it solidly on the ground that in event the free oil amendment offered by Representative Treadway, Massa- chusetts, republican members of the ways and means committee, should be defeated they could help to ob- tain lower duty than fixed in the bill,
 Temper Never in Doubt
 But there never was any doubt oi the temper of the House on the oil question. The Treadway proposition was adopted with votes to spare-1S7 to 79---on a stand up count, bu, Chairman Fordney, on the losing side, demanded tellers. The count as mem bers marched down the aisle was 19t to S6.
 About half the republican mem bership of the committee which i'm posed the tax after the bill had been printed and after the duty earlier had been rejected, joined republican insurgents and almost solid minor ity in throwing out the duty. Rep resentative Garner of Texas, rank ing democrat on the committee stood, however, with the oil taritt advocates lead by Representative Chandler of Oklahoma. It was al the latter's insistence that the elev- enth hour duty was put into the bill to protect southwestern wells.

< Day Attack by Both Army and Navy Planes Finally Results in Destruction
 of Stubborn Target
By Associated Press

On Board the Destroyer Leary, En Route to Norfolk, Va. July 1s.- Bombing aircraft destroyed the for mer German light cruiser Frankfurt late today 50 miles east of Virginia capes after an all day attack, which both navy and army air forces had begun to fear would be unsuccessful. A bomb which failed to hit the tar get but exploded in the water close by the starboard side near the bow, sent the cruiser down.
 Up 10 the time this bomb, a 600- pounder, was launched at 4;22 D. m. by an army Martin plane from Lang ley Field, Va, the Frankfurt had withstood II direct hits. five of them aged and preparations for a gun fire attack on her by five destroyers had been put under way.
 As the bomb left its carriage un- der the great wings of the Martin plane from an altitude of about l,600 feet, it appeared as though it would strike on the fo'castle deck. It missed by a scant few feet and upon striking the water exploded with terrific force. The Frankfurt literally was forced up several feet by the concussion and upon settling down after rocking and rolling for a minute or two, she began to go down gradually by the head.
 Finally Meets Fate
 Another army Martin plane put two other 600- pound bombs close by the port bow and these were believed to have hastened the end. The end The cruisers bow filled slowly and 20 minutes later her fo'castle deck began going under. The end was not long delayed then, as the ship had sunk low enough for the holes in the hull at the upper deck caused by the explosion of bombs dropped earlier in the day.
 Twenty eight minutes after it be- gan to settle the battered and twisted hulk disappeared. the main mast, which had been weakened by the ex~ plosion of one bomb, snapping off as the once proud ship took the final plunge amid cheers from the crews of the observing battIeships, destroy CTS and other surface craft.
 Brigadier General Mitchell, assist ant chief of the army air service, whose declaration before a congress sional committee some months ago that aircraft fast were making capl- tai ships obsolete, caused something of a sensation, circled around the sinking hull in a fast pursuit plane in which he had accompanied to sea the fleet of big bombers under Cap tain Lawton, which destroyed the cruiser.
 7s Bombs Dropped
 In all, IS bombs. 57 of 250 and 300 pounds and 21 of 52o and 500 pounds, were launched at the Frankfurt by
