|ELKTON CHURCH CASE
| BEFORE PRESBYTERY
At the Meeting in Frankfort,
Which Cot Under Way
This Afternoon.

Special Correspondence Every Evening.
Frankford. Oct Rev. Aauilla
Webb's moderatorship OF the Elkton
Presbyterian Church will probably end
today or tomorrow. mt the Presbytery
meeting here. The church wants Rev.
John McElmoyle TO return to Its pas
torate and also desires to be trans
ferred from the Prcsbytery of New
Castle TO the Presbytcry of Baltimore.
Both propositions require the assent
of the Presbytery of New Castle.
Some persons say the Presbytery
of New Castle would stultify itself by
permitting DR. McElmoyle TO return
to the Elkton passionate. Others state
the presbytery of New Castle could
avoid further trouble by asserting 10
the transfer of the church TO the
Presbytery OF Baltimore. II is believed
the Presbytery of New Castle will be
governed by the spirit in which the
matter is presented at the meeting
here.

Bad Blaze in
Business Section

One Of the most disastrous fires OF
the season occurred at about O'CLOCK
Thursday morning when fire which
caught from blazing fat in the bakery
conducted by Perley A. Wright caus-
ed q fire which gutte1 the portion or
the brick block occupied by Mr..
Wright and owned by the Pittsfield
National Bank. The balance of the
building which is occupied in the
store next above by B. S. Mathews
for boot and shoe store. and in the
next store by Harry Elias, dry goods
and garments, was saved by the OK
cellent work of the fire department,
assisted by the brick fire walls which
divide the stores in the block. Mr..
Wright's stock of groceries and con-
dictionary and bakery goods was
burned and Quilted and the machinery
and a large quantity of -four look to
be a heavy loss. A large quantity of
valuable fixtures and show cases were
badly damaged. In Mathews shoe
store the damage was confined to
smoke and water, no fire getting
through into this part. The water
damage was all in the basement as
practically no water reached the first
floor of this store. Mr.. Elias had
damage by smoke and water. The
Goodwin Clothing Co. and Atwelrs

the bank lower down on the street
received damage by water filing into
the cellars The losses will be heavy
but are practically all covered by in

Washington, Mar 30.-ConGress and
President Harding are not at logger
heads, despite the impression created
by certain writers and certain news
papers" Representative Mondell, Wy
oming. Republican leader. declared
today in a statement which he said
hehad prepared for delivery as an
address in the House.
"The fact is that instead of the
President and Congress being at log
gerheads, as these writer's and jour-
nails would have the country be-
lieve," said Mr.. Mondell. there never
has been a time in my quarter of a
century of experience in Congress
when the relations between the Presi-
dent and Congress, particularly the
House of Representatives We're more
pleasant, cordial, sympathetic and
harmonious than at the present
time"
The Republican leader said he in
vited comparison with any period of
American history and challenged
anyone to find record of liner re-
lations or more harmonious cooper
alton" between the President and
Congress.
Mr.. Mondell asserted that the AN
ti-bonus campaign of certain metro
politan newspapers has given us the
finest example we have Yet had as
to the length to which some people
are willing to go in a campaign of
Misrepresentation.
Efforts are also being made. Mr..
Mondell declared to make it appear
that there is a wide rift between the
President ana Republican ladders in
Congress over legislation affecting
the army and navy.

While John Moore of Colum bus

Mine Workers of Aemrica was giving

President should step to the front

wire tonight asking the miners to
come here or go anywhere else and
meet the operators" Mr.. Moore said,
the first train out would find them
aboard. We have always been anX-
iouS TO meet them"
Asked as to the unions attitude
toward thirty Cay suspension OF
the strike order, Mr.. Moore said:
Il am not prepared to answer for
President Lewis. AS l see it. there
is little likelihood of an invitation
going out. We do not want govern
lhcnt interference until we have en-
hauSted all our efforts to settle the
trouble. If the American people get
all the coal they want in April they
will be satisfied, and if the govern
mcnts estimate OF $4,000 tons above
ground is correct there will be no
suffering during the next month
But we prefer to work out oar own

Officers of the national coal asso.

asked as to how the suggestion OF
going to the President appealed tC
them. They offered no voluntary
view.

the size of the fire and that with very
small fires such as could be handled
by one man or few men, speed in
getting to the scene of the trouble

organization.
The method which the speaker
seemed to think has the best posi-
bilities is that of trenching. In the
discussion which followed this talk
the method of back-firing was dis
cussed and Mr.. Davis said that it was
usually dangerous and hard to con-
troll. Chief Warden Weeks said that
he had had occasion to use dynamite
last summer and that with it's aid he
bad been able to clear the fire line
and to obtain moist eartn and watel
with which to work.

others of the crew of the schooner

Shoal lightship in Nantucket Sound.
where they had found refuge after a
day ahoat in pelting rain and 9eavy
fog in an open boat with q makeshift
mast and sail patched up by piec-
ing together two blankets. Word had
preceded their arrival by wireless to
the effect that the RiCameron was
wrecked While there was a mutiny
aboard. Captain Richardson who
like nine others of the crew. is a ne
gro. said it was not mutiny SO
much as 4 strike. Whether any
charges will be brought against the
ScamCn who refused to work was
still under consideration today.
The Ricameron. q four master
owned in New York. had loaded soft
coal at Norfolk for Calais. Me. whe
it was found she was leaking badly.
She was pumped dry. patched some,
and started on her way last Friday,
with the verbal agreement between
captain and crew. the men aSse rted.
that she would put i'll at New York
instead Of trying to make the long
run down east in her leaking condi-
ton.
The pumps controlled the leaks so
we'll that Captain Richardson decid-
ed it was safe to continue and Mon
day morning the sailors found out
that the Ricameron had passed New
York and was heading up Long Is
land Sound. They protested and re-
fused to work any more. 1t was a
strike without disorders. the sailors

STRIKE INCEPTION NO EXCUSE 8.
FOR BOOST IN PRICE OF COAL!
LABOR SECRET AIRY POINTS OUT

Washington. March 30-While
stating that general strike in I'M
icnized bituminous coal mines is
certain to begin Saturday, Secretary
of Labor Davis declared in a state
ment tonight that the situation
leaves no excuse for advance in
coal prices
Reviewing the governments ef-
forts during the last two months to
achieve settlement in advance, Mr..
Davis expressed keen disappoint-
ment at the failure of certain oper-
ators to fulfill the terms of their OBJ
legations" to confer with miners for
the making of new wage agreements
which might have prevented sus-
pension of work.
"All the governments efforts in
the proffer of mediation. conciliation.
and compromise" he said, "have
failed to save the country from the
national strike test of economic
strength between the employer and
employee in the coal industry =
In this effort, the President and my
self have had neither legal right nor
personal desire to dictate any pro-
gram. Our one desire has been to
induce, by persuasion and urgence,
the operators and miners to discharge
the obligation they assumed them
selves. to confer again for the shap-
ing of a new agreement"
The miners. the secretary said,
had always been willing to con-
fer through their union representa-
tiyes, but the operators. although for
differently assigned reasons in sew
eral localities had turned their
backs on chance to lay bare. not
only to the miners but to the public,
at least their reasons for declining
a new wage agreement. "A confer
ence for the operators, he added,
