Coal Operators Are
Not In Legal Danger
United Mine Workers Issue
Statement In Reply To
Gushing Address.

Washington, d. C., March 22.-
Bituminous coal operators who see
danger to themselves from anti
trust law enforcement IL they con-
fer with the miners union nation
ally 70. fix wages, were declared to
be setting UP simply a smoke
SCREEN" In q statement issued to-
day by the United Mine Workers.
The statement referred to an ad-
dress by George H. Gushing, man
aging director of the American
Wholesale Coal association here
yesterday In which the alleged legal
Gangers were discussed.
"They know this is frivolous ex-
cuse, but it is the only one they
have left" the mine workers state
ment said charactertzing Mr.. Cush-
ing as being TN a large way rep
resentative of the operators"
"Only recently President Harding
announced that Attorney General
Daugherty had given an official
opinion that the operators and min
ers would not violate any law of
the United States by meeting in
joint conference for the purpose Of
negotiating a new wage agree
ment."
The statement asserted that the
operators in the central competi-
tive field were bound by contract to
enter a national conference which
most of them have refused to en-
ter, and added that the plain,
baldfaced purpose in the heads of
the operators Is the destruction, OF
the miners union"

final SKIRMISH IN
LONG BONUS FIGHT
LEADERS READY FOR THE
STRUGGLE "
Comparatively Little Opposition
Looked For Tomorrow When
Measure Comes Up In, House
Under Suspension Rules; Four
Hours Debate Decided Be-
fore Last Roll Call.
IAssociated Press Dispatch, !

Washington, d. c., March b.
Republican house leaders prepared
today for the f1pal skirmish in the
long fight over soldiers bonus leg
islation They looked, however. for
only comparatively little opposition
tomorrow when the measure was to
come up in the house under sus-
pension of the rules. o..
Four hours Of debate were to pre-
cede the final roll call, set before
adjournment. Half of this time
was to be assigned to opponents for
the firing of the final shots at the
compromise bill. Some leaders said
they did not expect the discussion
to change a single vote, and they
predicted that far more than the
necessary two thirds majority would
be obtained for the bill.
Once the roll call began, party
fies were expected to disapper. In
face, those who had undertaken to
sound sentiment in that direction
thought there would be more oppo-
sit1on votes from the republicans
than from the democratic side.
Some of those who planned to sup
port the bill said privately they were
not satisfied with all Of its provi-
sions but would vote for 1t convinc-
ed that 1t was the best legislation
that could be brought before the
house at this time.
Special Suspension Day.
Democratic leaders planned to
center fire on the resolution to make
Thursday a special suspension day
This resolution was to be presented
tomorrow Immediately after the
house convened. Its adoption-and
only majority vote would be neces-
sary for that-would preclude the
possibility of the minority offering
a motion to recommit. It was their
expressed desire to offer a motion
to send the bill back to the ways
and means committee with instruc-
lions to reinsert the cash bonus for
which the new bank loan provision
was substituted.
The rules committee met today to
consider the special resolution to
make Thursday suspension
to determine the details of the par
liamentary procedure for tomorrow,
Agree On Resolution.
A resolution making tomorrow a
special suspension day in the house
SO as to consider the soldiers bonus
bill under a suspension of the rules
committee, without a formal record
vote.
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee said the house would
meet at eleven a m. and there
" ould be an hour of debate on the
resolution before the bonus bill
was reached. Only majority vote
would be necessary for the adoption
of the resolution which provides for
four hours debate on the bill.
