PREDICTS NEWS CHANGES.
Gus J. Karger Addresses Glass II
Journalism at g. W. q.

A prediction that the newspaper
work Of the future would undergo
even greater changes than had been
experienced in the past was made
last evening before the class in jour-
nalism at George Washington Uni
versity by Gus J. Karger, Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star and member Of the stand
ing committee of correspondents at
the Capitol.
Mr.. Karger described in detail the
work of the writer's who represent the
newspapers Of the country at the
seat Of government and told of the
increased demand since the war that
such writers should consider national
affairs from the standpoint of the
probable effect upon international re-
latioS, and should also study the eff.
feet OF international DEVELOPMENTS
upon domestic matters. He drew a
parallel between the services of thA
news writer and those of the leRfs-
lator, and said that both called for
intellectual honesty, hard work.

subject from the patriotic point of
view.
mo profession here or elsewhere. /"
he said, SIS more jealous of its pres
tige than are the correspondents at
Washington" He added thar the
work afforded much satisfaction n
well balanced life, contact with those
who were doing things, and tasks or
which one never tired.

OPERATORS DENY
Ev|CT|NG MINERS
Charge of 0usting Union Men
in Kentucky and Tennessee
Called Exaggerated. .

Coal operators in the Kentucky and
Tennessee fields entered prompt denials
with the Labor Department today to the
facts stated by mine union representa-
dives concerning evictions OF coal miners
In protests which were put both before
Congress and the executive branch Of
the government yesterday. There is no
general policy OF evicting from COM
pany houses mine workers In that terri
tory who are now on strike, according
to a telegraph message signed by the
southern Appalachian Coal Operators
Association and received today by Di-
rector Kerwin Of the labor Cancellation
bureau.
Mine owners generally in the terri
tory around Knoxville. Tenn, the tel
egram said, are allowing their former
employees to stay in the company
houses, even though work has sus-
pended at the mines, and have not
instituted any legal proceedings to
Gust them. After a careful check Of
the situation, the association report
said, 1t was determined that the ten
ancy of the strikers was being dis
turbed at only a very few mines, and
these properties. it was said, are
those continuing to operate. but on
an open-shop basis. Where this step
has been taken by the employers, it
was added. the union men who re-
fueed to work have been asked to
vacate the company houses in favor
of. other employees who have gone to
wark under the new conditions. To
date eviction proceedings have been
instituted against only sixty miners,
the message concluded, though sew
eral thousand men are usually en-
ployed in the field.
Oh1cials of the miners union and
of the American Federation of Labor
made the complaints which drew the
mine owners protest today both to
Director Kerwin and to the House labor
committee.
