IMPORTATION OF BRITISH
 COAL A JOKE. SAYS LEWn

New York. July 25.-Importstion of British mined bituminous coal to avert a fuel famine among American industries ''is so apparently futile and absurd as to constitute a huge joke" John L. Lewis. president of the Uniter Mine Workers Of America. assertes toray-
 They tell me that 500.ooo tons of coal already have been contracted for al the mines in Wales " said he. Five hundred thousand tons-enough to keep the min CTS of America digging just two and one half hours on a day of average produc- tion.
 When 1t Is realized that the normal coal requirements of this country are $. S.O00. 900 tons a week. while the utmost unloading capacity of all docks on the American seacoast is less than 25. 900 .eoo tons a year, it becomes apparent how farcical attempts to break the miners strike with foreign fuel.
 If all the ships saiiinS under all tho flags on the seven seas were to be used in hauling coal to American ports. they couldn't carry enough to slave of the | impending famine And with the ships available for coal cscgoes right now, | only an inhnitesimal part of the daily ] consumption will ever reach American ports in time to affect the present situs= tion''
 Mir. Lewis said he had not been in conn munication with English union lesderr or sought any agreement with Weisb miners which would result in refusal to load un.on-dug coal for shipment ts | America

SEES ONLY ONE HOPE
 OF ENDING COAL STRIKE

New York, July 25.-Edward J. Der wind, head of one of the largest coal companies in the country, returned from England on the Majestic today seeing only one hope for ending the present coal strike.
 If President Harding will guarantee the miners will be protected, I believe the mines will be opened and the men will go to york; he declared
 He denied that he had purchased any coal in England, except a, ships cargo which went to Havana. He said that was sent to Suba because ship was lying idle, and the coal would aid power plants in the city. Coal in England. he said, win be cheaper in the near future, because conditions seem to be very bad there now"

P0-Executives and representatives of railroads in the southwest issued a statement today saying that seniority rights of the striking shopmen would not be restored.
 The conference of the rail executives was without previous announcement, aa.l their position as set forth in the state ment, was that should seniority righrs be restored in the present instance, there would be no incentive for men to stay at work in the face of future strikes.
 The statement asks the public 'to bear in mind that seniority is based on length of continued service and should striking shop employees be allowed to go back to work, with their former sen iority rights restored, many of the men who are now. at work would have to be laid off"
 ''The position of the railroad" the statement continues, lis that. in volun. tarily deserting their employment the striking shop craft employees lost their I seniority rights, and that both the pub. lie interest and justic- to the new em. ployes demand that the seniority right. of men who. are now working should bt | recognized"

 en out of the rule requiring the names of the three highest eligibles for ap- pointment be certified by the connmis- sion to the appointing power. It adde1 that there remained grave question whether there would not have been iess complaint had the rule been ahrogate1 and the name of only the highest eli.,i- ble submitted.
 | The committee members signing the re- i port said they had not called on rnemb ars i of the commission or subordinates to ap- l pear for testimony before it, but that ] it had obtained from the commission s statement covering every case which had | been laid before it. The comm; ssion'
 readiness to furnish information caused l the committee to take the course rathe! l than go into the varbal testimony, the
 report said.

New York July 25.-Declaring that the governments fantastic schemes to reopen the coal mines were complete failure, and that the delay they had oc- casioned contributed to a pending fuel famine, John L. Lewis. president of the international union, tonight renewed his invitation to operators to settle the strike by joint conference.
 "The attempt to reopen the mines by assembling and parading engines of war to awe American citizens his statement continued, would be na- tional farce, did 1t not possess the ele- ments of tragedy"
 His plea for immediate resumption of negotiations between operators and min CTS was based on what he termed the complete failure of the governments efforts, which, he asserted. have been the net result of governmental attempts to avert a fuel famine. Mir. Lewis remain ed firm, however. for national confer ence to include all coal operators and re- iterated the refusal of his organization | to confer or negotiate new wage cop- tracts by districts.
 The mine workers chief left fo- Phil adelphia tonight. where toinurrow re will meet the five union district prcsi- | dents representing 3l0.0o0 anthracite and bituminous miners n Pennsylvania 1 weeks of the strike.

GOVERNOR ALLEN AND
 EDITOR WHITE REUNITED

Emporia, Kas, July 25 (By the A. P.). -"Henry and Me- were reunited today before the eyes of the public, and from a speakers platform Henry, Governor Henry J. Allen told of his difference with his pal of peace and war times, William Allen White. editor and author.
 The difference was on one thing only, and it did not go beyond that Henry" said, referring to his friend affectionate- ly as Bill" that difference was on the interpretation of the industrial court act in the phase of whether card of sympa- thy can be- construed as violating the picketing clause.
 "Billn introduced Henry" before an audience in the state normal school audi triun for the Governors day celebration and < Henry responded that 'Bilr' would not hurt flea.
 "The only time Bill is dangerous" said the governor. lis when he sits down to a doubte-action typewriter at time like this ad writes out his emotion.
 Bill, or anyone else, has the right to put up card in his window if he wants to. But when Bill put up that sympathy card he was joining in the movement tc break down the efforts of the railroads to keep the trains running. He became | the most dangerous figure in that move. l ment because of the faith so many have 1 in his judgment. And so We had to sin. | gle Bill out, because he Is leader His arrest is great compliment to him." Turning from his facetious vein, Gov ernor Allen said it must be understood l that action taken against Mir. White was for the purpose of enforcing the law. not l to deprive anybody of constitutiona right.
 What we need in this country now more than anything else" added the gov ernor, lis a feeling of obligation to oul government, to our laws and obedienc. 1 to authority. It is the duty of every cit izen to obey the laws. It was the ruling of the chief law officer of this state thai the posting of the signs constituted vic lation of the law. in that they tended t, intimidate those who wanted to work"
