LEWIS SAYS STRIKE
DUE TO iron HEEL
METHODS OF OWNERS
(Bv Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 15.-Dis-
claiming responsibility of the miners
for "the ills Of the coal industry y
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, told the
Midday Luncheon club here today that
"the principles at issue in this great
strike will not be compromised by the
mine workers"
"The dream of the coal operators
he said, that the miners will engage
in a multiplicity Of conferences and
negotiate Independent district agree
ments will not materialiZe." Mr.
Lewis said such negotiation would be
like treating patients organic
troubles by applying healing lotions
to his extremities." Reverting to the
mine workers aims he said.
Will Not Retreat
"It is poor industrial leadership thai
can conceive industrial Improvement
only through a debased manhood anG
pauper level of existence. The
strike" he continued, "is the natural
sequence of the organized effort of the
coal operators to beat the miners
backward to the level of subsistence
in the non-union fields. The miners
will not retreat The human values in
volved are of infinitely greater conse
quence than the profit margin of the
operators.
approximately 100000 of the pop
ulation of our nation are directly de
pendent upon the mining industry ant
it is Gods will that the children o
the mining camps be fed. clothed, ant
sheltered to the same degree as tn
children of other citizens"
Says Word Broken.
THE operators of the central CON
petitive field have non-chalantly brol
en- their agreement to meet in join
conference and have defined thei
further policy with all the arroganc
of a German war governor jack-boo
ing a Belgian town into submission.
''The agreement thus violated wa
made by command of the Unite
States government, and as yet the gov
ernment, has merely condoned thei
offense against the moral code by iss,
/ ing statements assuring the publ
| that an ample supply of coal will b
! furnished by fields where non-unio
forces hold sway by force OF arms
"Such a statement in itself is an err
which the public will later realize"

BUSINESS men OF
INDIANA OPPOSED TO
FOREIGN VALUATION
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, April Is. - Having
had time to digest the revised tariff
bill, introduced in the senate the first
of the week by the finance committee,
Indiana business men are now direct
ing a steady stream OF correspondence
on the subject to the members of the
Indiana congressional delegation, par
ticularly Senators Watson and New.
1t is understood that the majority OF
Indiana manufacturers who have been
heard from have expressed opposition
to the action of the finance committee
of substituting foreign valuations as
basis for the levying of customs duties
for American valuation, as provided
in the tariff bill which was passed by
the house of representatives last July.
There have been manufacturers in
the sixth congressional district of In
diana, it is said, who have gone so
far as to say that if the new tariff
law provides for foreign valuation it
will not be possible for them to meet
with certain foreign competition and
that they expect it will be necessary
for them to close their plains.
Watsons' Stand.
1t has been reported that Senator
Watson of Indiana was one of the
three members of the finance commit
tee who voted against substituting
! foreign valuation for American valua
| tion. 1t is known that a short time
| before the finance committee complet
ed its work on the tariff measure Sen
] ator Watson was hopeful that the com
mittee would vote to incorporate into
| the bill a provision to base the levy
| ing of customs duties on American
wholesale prices.
Despite the threats of Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means com
mittee of the house that the house
will not accept foreign valuation there
! are Influential members of the major
ity in each house who believe that {
compromise acceptable to both house:
can eventually be reached.
! The provision written into the bill
/ by the finance committee giving thu
president broad discretionary power!
in executing the act, if it is constitu
tional, is reganled by some legisla
tors as a means for opening the wa.
to an agreement between the senate
and the house The provision in ques
ton has also been commented upol
favorably by number of Indiana bust
mess men.
/ Gives Authority.
The senate bill gives to the presi
dent authority to raise and lower du
ties within prescribed limits. Thi
marks radical departure in Ameri
can tariff legislation. Former tarif
laws have been rigidly framed, tn
executive being given no discretionar
power in their enforcement.

Carnivals Not
 Wanted Here

Carnivals are not wanted in Bridge port. This is the inference drawn from the action of the Board of Police Commissioners at last night meeting when the redues of the Loyal Order of Moose for permission to conduct carnival at the old circus grounds was ordered laid on the table pending a further investigation. It will be re- membered that at previous meeting of the board 1t was only after a live ly debate had ensued that the Board granted permission to the combined Democratic Club west of the river to hold a carnival. It Is probable how ever that the prnisSiOn will be given the Moose although if 1t is do;le it
 It was also voted at last nights meeting to settle the traffic Ques- tion which has arisen from a routine matter to one of the most important problems the city has had to solve. spaces throughout the center of the city and also moving pictures of traf- fic jams etc. will be shown at the next meeting and a determined effort will be made to clear up the situation.

Taking Of Finger
 Pr-nts Slmpl4fied
 By Latest System.

san Quentin, Cal, May 16-From behind the prison walls of San Quentin prison has come a solution of problem which has baffled ex- perts the world over ever Since the first introduction of the fngerprint system of Identification.
 It is a single impression system a simplif1ed method which would make it possible to Identify each one of the earths millions of inhabitants without leaving a shadow of a doubt.
 The inventor is Walter S. Crosskey, an Englishma-n, sentenced to life inn prisonment for the staying of a San Francisco saloonkeeper under the name of J. J. Walters.
 Crosskey did not allow imprison- ment to embitter him. Instead he se- about improving the condition abcU him. He became the frs: instructoi Desire or mental stimulation causec him to request assignment to the prison Bertillon room. Here he be gan a study of identification and learned through the journal of the Royal Society that experts were seek ing to devise a system of single f1n- gerprint classification.
 He spent IS months of intensive study on the subject and finally per whom it has been submitted. Cross key is now securing patents on his system in all countries and has com pleted a book describing it.
 Crosskey says his system win revolutionize the science, and it's adoption by banks. business houses, insurance companies. railroads and other institutions doing a business where personal identification is neces- sary, including passport and election bureaus, will minimize such frauds as check forgeries. incendiarism for gain, ticket scalping and the like. Positive identification by telegraph will likewise be made possible, he asserts, and, overshadowing all these advantages, 1t will afford a basis for character reading when a child is young, enabling the proper cultiva- ton of traits, characteristics and gifts and the shaping of careers.
 As proof of the simplicity of his system. Crosskey claims that 5000 records could be filed in a cabinet a yard square by six feet high.

Attacks Prohibition Critics,
Opening NeWark Meeting.

Bishop Edwin 9. Lines. at the opening
session of the forty-eighth annual con-

Newark in Trinity Cathedral yesterday
urged obedience to prohibition laws, as
was done by Bishop Manning at the
opening of the recent convention of the
Episcopal Diocese OF New York.
Much OF the talk about the restric-
tion Of personal liberty Is unworthy OF
respect" he said. 1.-The talk OF many
people living in luxury In great houses
with more than their snare, the
worlds good things. about the wrong
done to the poor by prohibition is ridlcu-
lous. The gulf between the privileged
and unprivileged must be bridged In

EPISCOPALiANS FAVOR
WAIT BEFORE MARRFAG
Urge Lav Designed to. Cut
Dosun Divorces.

Amendment of the marriage laws to
require three or four days between the
issuance of the license and, the, cere-
mony was advocated unanimously yes
terday at the fifty-fifth convention OF
the clergy and laity of the Episcopal
diocese of Long Island in the Cathedral
Of The Incarnation. Garden City. Bishop
Frederick Il. Burgess presided. The con-
veution thought such a measure would
reduce divorces by preventing hasty
marriages.
1t also was proposed that Good Fri
day be made legal holiday. but the
prevailing opinion was that this would
mean a lessening of attendance at the
churches In favor OF week end trips.
The Rev. J. Howard Melish of Trinity
Church. Brooklyn. suggested the term
lay delegates be made to apply to either
man or a woman. His resolution was
referred to the committee on canons.
