ANTHRACITE OPERATORS
 HOLD FOR WAGE DECREASE

New York, April 21.-Anthracite op- orators, who had announced that to- day they would submit to the miners the terms upon which they would sign an agreement ending the strike, content themselves with a simple reiteration of their general demand that wages come down.
 At the close of a session of the joint sub b-committee on wage contract negoti- ations S. D. Warriner. spokesman for the operators, said:
 We informed representatives of the anthracite miners with whom we have been in conference since March Is, that it was our firm conviction that wage and other demands which would result in an increase in the price of coal could not be granted. On the contrary, our attitude was that ther must be a sub stantial reduction in wages. Developments siNae these neghtia- tions began have only served to confirm the opinion already expresses by the producers of anthracite that the price was too high. Not Oven suspension of production has served to stimulate sales ''We are faced by the practical diff culty that the consumer will not pay the price for coal that we are required to ask in order to maintain even the pres l ent costs"

 Germany has recognized the Russian soviet republic for several years. set usment had. however. to be made be- tween the two countries with regard % Lhe consequences arising from the state Of war before it was possible Co renew normal diplomatic relations. The nego- tiatious carried on between the two gov srnments over this question had already teveral weeks ago progressed so far that conclusion was possible
 "It was especially of importance to Germany Co come 10 an understanding Fith Russia because she gave an oppor- unity of establishing peace with one of he great belligerent powers under con Utlons excluding lasting debtorship and rendering possible. on a fresh basis un- encunbered by the past. a renewal of friendly relations. Germany came to Genoa with a hearty desire to cooperate with all the nations in restoring tho sui isring European continent and trusting in a mutual understanding Of the diff -uities of all parts of that continent.
 The propositions of the London con fere4ce left Germany's interest out o regard. To sign them would have mean 70 call forth heavy reparation claims fol Russia against Germany.

 Defending prohibition, Lady Astor said Let the rich drink If they want to- il would hurt no one but themselves" Sht 1 thought liquor dulled the brain, and fol that reason disliked it.
 'If you think the people of America want drink back. put it to a vote,'' sh, | said, but you'll never get it.' Do you mean the liquor or the vote 9 ] ''The vote" she replied.

The government today won in the
Supreme Court in the case brought by
the United Shoe Machinery corpora
ton and others to have set aside the
restraining order prohibiting them

The Supreme Court reiterated the
decision arrived at ty the District

The lower Federal court prohibited
the corporation from compelling by
lease agreement the exclusive use of
it's machines and from enforcing an
alternative royalty clause found to
be prohibitive upon all footwear man
ufactured in factories where machines
of competitors were also used. 1t
also held invalid the agreement ty
which the corporation required those
using its machines to purchase sup
niles of IL
