The next procedure during the hear

prosecution TO have Horace Kendall
deputy sheriff under the Garrett re-
gime, called to the stand, but Kendall
was not present in the court house,
according to the bailiff. The prosecu-
tion then called Eddington whose tes-

in a recent public interview said:

In the face OF such brazen and
uncompromising attitude on the
part of the coal operators the mine
workers had no alternative but to
quit their work when the agree
ment expired and await the max
ing of another agreement fixing
their schedules of wages and gov
erning their conditions of employ
ment. 1t is recognized by all
thoughtful men that in the end an
agreement must be effected through
the accredited representatives Of
the organized mine workers of the
country, and it is particularly un-
fortunate that hundreds of thou
sands of men must be withdrawn
from industry to the detriment Of
the social and economic well-being
of our country before a joint con-
ference can be held and an agree
ment negotiated. The responsibility
for this condition must rest clearly
upon the shoulders of the coal OPP
orators, who have flagrantly and
arrogantly refused to carry out
their obligations and meet the mine
workers in joint conference. Their
attitude should rightfully bring
down upon them the moral castiga-

In a joint conference held in
the city of New York on the 31st
OF March, 1920, a two-year agree
ment was signed covering wages
and working conditions in the min
ing industry for that period. In
shis basic agreement appears the
Following provision:
Resolved, that an interstate
JOINT conference be held prior to
April l, 1922, the time and place of
holding such meeting as referred
TO a committee of two operators
and two miners from each state
herein represented together with
the international officers of the
United Mine Workers organiza-
ton"
Operators Break Contract.
This arrangement was a part of
the agreement, equally as binding
as any other provision, and was
duly executed in writing through
the attachment of the signatures of
the operators and mine workers
representatives. 1t was a pledge
morally as binding as any bond 0r
promissory note ever executed in
business transaction. The mine
workers of the country believed
that the coal operators signed the
agreement in good faith, but we
now find that they contumaciously
refuse to live up to their agree
ment. They have refused point
blank to do as they agreed they
would do.
IF they were to refuse/to Hqui-
date their financial obligations it
would be no more dishonorabIe
than their refusal to keep their
solemn agreement with the mine
workers. On two occasions since
the month of December, 1921, the
operators have been formally in
vited by the mine workers repre-
sentatives to meet in joint confer
ence at designated time and
place for the purpose indicated in
the agreement. On each occasion

Despite the failure of our pre-

WIDEN STREET
NOW, PLEA OF
CITY PLANNERS
uIIneis Oil Company Building Is
Opportunity to Get Decision,
Commission Says.

Agitation to have Twenty-fourth
street from Third to Seventh ave-
rues widened before the Illinois
nj company gets its new Office
hniIding on the corner of Fourth
srenue underway, has been started
among the civic organizations.
The Rock Island city planning
commission taking the initiative is
attempting to have other civic
hodies interested in the need of
widening Twenty street, the
main thoroughfare leading into the
city. before any new structure can
hinder the work. The oil company
today began its plans for the new
building, clearing ground for the
foundation work.
o. z, Cervin, chairman of the city
manning commission, is urging
mat the street widening be taken
mn at once. The commission in it's
city plan provided for the broaden
ing of this thoroughfare, as the
first project to be undertaken.
However, lack of funds in the city
treasury forced the committee to
abandon its plans for the present.
The street is now 60 feet wide and
It is proposed to increase this to
10 feet.
WEIGH Offers Fund.
Meanwhile, Frank ]. WEIGH, pres
dent of the Illinois Oil company,
has offered the city $4,000 to begin
its program of widening the street.
with this as a start, Mr.. Cervin is
anxious to get civic organizations
enthused in the proposition. which
is the first step in the plans Of
making Rock Island city beauti-
full"
No meeting has been called, but
representatives of civic bodies may
be asked in conference. Delay in
efecting this change on Twenty
fourth street may mean consider
able more work and money at such
time when the work will actually
have to be done, it is pointed out
Now is considered the most advan-
tageous moment in which to start
the work, the city planners argue,
before further buildings replace
present structures.
