president OF tthe Pittsburgh Coal

"but we don't want to meet with
the operators and miners Of what
has been called the central COM

all in the same business, our inter-
ests are not mutual, and 1t would
be unfair to the operators and min.

a situation which IS not warranted
by sound economical principles.
We are not fighting the union. We
are simply trying oaput our bust.

May Pay Witnesses
From Next Years Fund

Circuit Clerk u. A. Gather to
dhy received notice from Slxe
Auditor John c. Bond that At
torney General e. T. England had
issued a ruling that It was possible
to, pay witnesses and Jurors in
criminal cases from funds apprs-
priated for next year
Auditor Bond sent out a ruling
February 1 that the appropriation
for this purpose for the fiscal year
was used up and that It was i'm
possible to draw upon the appro-
priation for next year. The re-
suit was that the wheels Of justice
stopped turning in many places
and sheriffs and other court off
cials were having difficulty to. get
jurors or witnesses for criminal
cases.
Mr.. England was asked for Is
ruling on the question and he has
decided that the courts can draw
on next years appropriation In
stead Of waiting for the 4egisla-
ture to meet again to provide
funds for this purpose;
