MINERS LEADERS
TO REJECT OFFER

! Washington, July IA practical
certainty existed tonight that the
United Mine Workers of America will
refuse President Harding's offer Of
arbitration to settle the coal strike
both bituminous and anthracite. John
l.. Lewis, president of the union, Will
liam Green, secretary-treasurer, and
Phillip Murray, vice president, left a
final conference at the White House
with President Harding and Secretary
Davis late today determined, it was
understood, to recommend q refusal
of the governments offer to the union
policy committee, which will meet
here tomorrow.
The expected refusal, it was said,
will apply to the anthracite mines as
well as the bituminous, although en-
ployers in the anthracite region have
accepted the presidents offer practi-
cally without condition. The union
viewpoint is that the anthracite fields,
with their potential production Of g.
100000 tons of coal week, should
not resume work, because this coal
supply, along with non-union produc-
tion Of bituminous, would lessen pub
lie pressure for a strike settlement.
The only light cast upon the gov
ernment's possible further course was
a White House declaration today that
President Harding felt no doubt he
had power to operate the mines in an
emergency. The president might run
the risk of impeachment in taking
such course, it was indicated, but he
was said not to fear such a possibil-
ity under existing conditions.
The union officials who have re-
mained in Washington since the
break up of the general coal confer
ence have made their position plain
to officials, in demanding first Of all
that arbitration as offered be made to
apply to the semi-unionized fields OF
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
where production has been only part
ly crippled since the strike. They
have further asked for its Sapplica-
tion of the Washington state and in
Mingo county, West Virginia.44-->-.1

ORDERS OF BOARD
BIND BOTH SIDES

Washington, July 14.-Senator
Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee and one of the co-authors of the
transportation act of 1920 under
which the railroad labor board func-
tions, declared today that decisions of
the board were binding on both car
riers and employees, and not simply
advisory" as held by union officials.
The government, Senator Cummins
held, can compel obedience to rulings
of ti.e board Notwithstanding that
the transportation act provides no
penalties.
Senator Cummins was in confer
ence with President Harding at the
White House for nearly one hour late
today. After the conference he said
that though he was optimistic he
could see no way out of the present
tangled situation" which he regard
ed as critical.
Advisability of enacting legislation
perfecting the transportation act was
understood to have been discussed
by the president and Senator Cum
Minis. The latter on leaving the
White House said several amend
ments were needed, particularly one
which would more clearly define
what comprised a reasonable wage
awadl on the part of the labor board.
Senator Cummins agreed that no leg
islation could be enacted until the
house reconvened August Is. Mean
while, he said, the existing law should
prove adequate.

ROADS In "HOLE"
DECLARES JEWELL

Chicago, July Ia (By the Associat
ed Press).-A strike bulletin sent out
today by B. M. Jewell, head of the
striking railway shopmen, declares
the strikers "have the railroads in g
hole" Here are the facts summar.
lied, comprising, President Jewell
said, "our strategic position"
Industrial and business conditions
throughout the country are picking
up strongly.
Steel and iron production is stead,
lily increasing and preparations for
further activity in all other lines are
increasing.
"Dun's and Bradstreet's report
steady betterment of conditions all
along the line.
This means the railroads have to
carry tremendous amount of freight
in the next few months. Since the
beginning of the year earnings and
business have increased tremendous
ly over a corresponding period last
year.
Railroad managements anticipated
this increased business and ordered
100000 new freight cars in the first
six months of this year as-sompared
with only 10000 new cars for all of
last year.
"The present demand for rolling
stock is about 900 percent more than
the last five years average and the
demand for locomotives is also in
creasing. y
"The prolonged cos1 strike means
there has got to be tremendous
movement of coal between now and
December in order TO supply both
domestic users, industrial concerns
and public utilities.
"Over a week ago the United States
geological survey reported the exist
ing coal reserves are the lowest they
can possibly go without endangering
the future regular supply.
"The threatened strike of seamen
on the Great lakes, if it happens
will probably throw still more bur,
den of moving coal On the railways
"The latest report sof condition Of
equipment show the, percentage of
bod order locomotives ranging from
IL per cent on the Louisville & Nash
vile to 80 per cent On the Missouri
Kansas g. Texas aadSkada order car,
from s per cent on the Norfolk &
Western to 1872 per cent on tn
Pittsburg & Lake Erie.
"Outside contractors can not handle
all this repair work and most of the
roads are far enough from the con
tractors'shops so that the problem
of hauling bad order equipment tt
the contractors is a big one.
Demand for labor is increasing il
outside industries and that mean:
that the railways can not get enough
men to replace those now on strike
"All this means that time is will
us. Every day we hold on weaken
the railroads and strengthens our
hand. Hold on, brothers"

DAMAGE
CAMDEN HOTEL

Camden, July 14.-Camden had the
extraordinary experience here this af-
ternoon of two fires at the same time
caused from lightning during vio-
lent electrical storm.
The north wing of the large Kirk
wood tourist hotel was first struck
and was soon in flames and while the
firemen were fighting this blaze a
barn to the rear of the residence Of
Henry Savage was struck and was a
complete loss. BY good work on the
part of the fremen the main build
ing of the hotel located at Camden
Heights was saved. The fire was CON
tined to the north wing. The kitchen
and servants quarters will be almost
complete loss.

High School Get
First Real Test
Baseball Teams PLAY
Nampa Here Tuesday
Of this Week.

Caldwell high school will get is first
real baseball test this week when the
team plays Nampa, Friday at Nampa
and Tuesday on the local grounds.
Caldwell had easy pickings last week
with Meridian. Nampa, at the same
time, played tie game at Nampa
against Boise and then lost the second
matinee by one run margin.
Caldwell's showing this week against
Nampa will give fans definite line
up on the calibre of this years team.
Friday evenings showing against
Meridian was not particularly impress
sive, the raw spring and lack of prac-
tice showing clearly in the work of
the team. With the promise Of bet
ter weather this week should see a
marked improvement in the scoring
power and defensive work of the nine.

school P. T. A. for this season will
be held at the high school auditorium,
Monday evening, April "a, at 800
o o'clock.

meeting will be the finances of the
schools, especially in relation as to
what departments may be cut out or
curtailed with the least injury to the
efficiency of the school system. Supt,
J. ]. Rae will present this matter illus
trating his talk from charts. As the
matter of taxation in school finances
is of prime importance to every citizen
of Caldwell, it is hoped that there
will be a large attendance and free
discussion of this very important mat
ter.
During the same evening there will
be on exhibition at the high school
building the work of the manual train
ing department and also of the do
nestle arts department. These two
departments have never failed to put
on very attractive exhibits and have
always evoked widespread interest
from the patrons of the school.

suing year will also be in order a,
this meeting, and is understood that
there are several candidates for the
office of president of the association

C. H. s. BAsEBAL TEAM
WINS FROM MERIDIAN

Caldwell High school added an
other baseball scalp to its belt FRIDAY
evening when Meridian was shout out
at Recreation park. Score, 90. The
game was witnessed by a fair crowd
of shivering fans who weathered at
least three snow squalls during the
seven innings of play. Caldwell be-
gan to score early by running three
men across the rubber in the first inn
ing on Meridian infielders' hobbies and
some hitting, Field had Meridian at
his mercy practically throughout and
except in the first inning when a
man was worked around to third, was
never in danger of being scored upon,
Considering the inclement and cold
weather the Caldwell team showed to
advantage in the. Four men were
tried at second base, Herder, Hanley,
Welsh and D. Lowell, the latter giving
up the mitt and mask in favor OF
Royce In the-final inning,
