Operators and Miners
Fail to Agree ON Wages
Meeting i'm Effort tn Find Basis
for Conducting Negotiations
A6iauvus Till Dec. Il

CHICAGO, Nov. IL (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The joint conference of
bituminous coal operators and m ners'
representatives meeting here in an
effort to arrive at some basis for con-
ductine ware negotiations next Janu-
ary and without arriving at an agree
ment, voted tonight to adjourn until
December 6.
The operators proposal to adjourn
is only tentative, Il was announced, as
the rules of the joint conference pro-
vide that adjournment action must be
taken as a unit. The joint conference
adjourned until o'clock yo-nighs to
give the miners an opportunity to con-
slider the proposal and make q reply
at that time.
John l.. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, is understood
earlier in the day to have opposed G.
suggestion 10 adjourn the conference,
maintaining that such a move would
result in talk of strike with Ell in
crease IN coal prices, for which he said
the operators would be responsible.
1t was understood that the operators
planned TO meet here December 4, two
days in advance Of the resumption of
the joint conference, which was to con-
yene again December 6 If the miners
agreed. Illinois operators also planned
meeting In the interim to discuss the
situation among themselves.

President Said to See No LIE.
gal Objection to Armour
Morris Plan; Will Wait
Several Days TO Decide
Wants All Facts i'm Case
Told Operating EXPENSES of
Two Companies Would BE
Gut $4,000, 900 a Year

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-president
Harding will make the final decision
for the government on the proposal
that Armour d Co. purchase Morris &
Co., another Of the big Fiver Chicago
packers, it was Indicated to-day In high
administration circles. The President
already has discussed the matter with
}. Ogden Armour, and will go over it
in detail with Secretary Wallace as
soon as the experts of the Department
Of Agriculture have completed their
study of the plan.
The Executive was represented to-
night as being of the opinion, on the
basis of the information now In his
possession, that there would be no OBJ
lection at law to the proposed consol-
idation, in view Of the stricter gov
ernment regulation Of the packing in
dustry provided for in the packers and
stockyards control act. 1t was empha-
sized, however, that he was keeping an
open mind until all the facts bearing
on the situation had been presented.
Will Wait Several Days
Secretary Wallace said to-day that
there would be no definite decision for
several days. He explained that the
matter was now in the hands of the
department experts, and that he would
give the proposal full consideration
after they had completed their survey
and made recommendations. The ex-
perts were understood to have asked
for information supplemental to that
originally furnished by Mr.. Armour.
This was presented by y. e. White,
vice-president. and Charles y. Fs1,lk
ner jr., chief counsel for Armour & Co.
Among other things under considera-
tion, 1t was understood, was the prob
able effect of the projected merger
upon the subsidiary corporations of the
two principal companies.
The Administration officers said that
favorable decision by the government
on Mr.. Armours proposal would not
necessarily set a precedent for govern.

na0suhere af Prejudice

Eimore D. DER, bankrupt stock
6roker, will have to stand trial in New
fork County on the indictments against
nam on charges of the larceny Of his
customers funds and securities and
bucketing. The broker applied to the
supreme Court for change OF venue
to Hnothnr county because, he con-
tended, the wide publicity given his
anairs created an atmosphere of preju-
aice here thai would make it Impossible
Tor him to have fair trial Justice
. Malley denied the motion yesterday.
4 am satisfied that great newspaper
notoriety and much hostile comment
have been given to this case" said Jus.
tlce O'Malley. Il am satisfied that
many persons in the community are
prejudiced agairet the defendant, but
am not satisfied by the evidence that
the prejudice and hostility in tho
county at this time are SO deep and
widespread that competent and i'm
partial and unprejudiced jury cannot
be empaneled in the County of New
York for the trial of these cases"
The District Attorneys office has
been awaiting the decision OF Justice
oMalley before moving the indictments
against DER for trial and an early trial
will now be asked.

Taxi-Cab Bonding
Law Is Upheld by
Appellate Division
Driver Loses Test Case i'm Ef-
fort to Escape Filing
$500 Accident Security;
Court Points to Fatalities

The constitutionaIity Of the law en-
acted in the last session OF the Legis-
lature requiring every taxicab owner
in cities of the first class to file bond
OF $4,000 as security for the payment
of accident damages, was sustained
yesterday by the Appellate Division.
Ihe matter came before The court on
the appeal of Charles Martin, owner
and chauffeur of a taxicab, who was
arrested to mako test case and who
was fined $500 or in lieu of the fine to
serve thirty days In jail. There is
likely to be hurried scurrying to
cover by other taxicab owners, who
have hesitated about going to the ex-
pense of taking out bond until the
higher court had an opportunity TO
pass on the law. 4
Robert Ferrari, attorney for Martin,
contended that the law was CON
fiscatory. Attorney General Newton
and District Attorney Banton, defend
ing the law in the test case, pointed
out that there are already hundreds Of
suits and judgments against irres2on-
sibie taxlcab owners, growing out Of
accidents wherein persons have been
injured, but are without hope of re-
covering damages. 1t was also pointed
oep NAslI q eitn4Adi DOllOllg law WQS IN
effect in several states and that in
Illinois the bond was $1,000, as against
S2,5o0 here.
The court opinion written by Justice
Bowling said: Proof was received that
there are operating in New York City
about 325,000 automobiles other than
tnxicabs and about $4,000 taxicabs, and
that during the year 1921, according to
figures of the Police Department, there
were killed and injured by automobiles
other than taxicabs in the City of New
York 1864, being g. ratio Of to %
casualties to cars), and that, accord
ing to the same figures, there wers
killed by taxicabs within the City of
New York within the year 1921 2,O56
persons, being ratio of / TO 8, so
fraught to danger to the public is the
use of automobiles"
The fact that owners Of taxicabs re-
gard the cost of bonding their vehicles
for $4,000 each as too great Is 10 an
swer to the laws validity, said Justice
Bowling, who added: "The Legislature
has not seen fit to prohibit the opera
tion of taxicabs completely. 1t has
sought TO regulate their use and to
make such use source of less damage
to the public. The provisions Of the
act are reasonable and justified. The
cost Of complying with it is not con-
6scatory. The act is within proper ex-
ercise of legislative power and should
be held valid"

such as that recently proposed In the
case OF several OF tie so-cailed 4nde-
pendent steel companies. 1t was cx-
piaincd that quite different situ ;tion
was presented since the government
regulation OF the packing industry was
provided by law. where there was no
such regulation in the steel and yari-
oue other lines OF business.
In outlining to the President tho
situation which Armour q Co. believed
made desirable and necessary the con-
soiidatson of that company and Morris
d Co., Mr.. Armour was understood to
have emphasized that the packing in
dustry was particularly hard hit by the
recent general business depression.
His opinion was that unless there were
mergers within the industry some
of the packers would be unable to get
long. 1t was represented that Armour
d Co. was running at only about IS
per cent capacity. Facilities of all the
great packing concerns, it was stated,
had necessarily been greatly augmented
during the war, with the result that
now there was u considerable amount
of capitalized up in facilities for which
there was no ugc, because Of the de-
creased demand and for which there
probably would be no use in the near
future.
Mr.. Armour, it was stated officially
had estimated that as result Of the
proposed merger the operating ak
penses OF the two corporations co4ld
be reduced by something like ten mil
lions of dollars yearly. Savings would
result not only through consultations
and abandonment of facilities aug
mented during the war, but also in
the consolidation of accounting sys-
TENS and general overhead.
Finally, Mr.. Armour explained TO the
President that his company had laid
the matter before the government, be
cause it did not desire to enter into
u transaction of such magnitude un.
less and until IL was certain that the
consolidation would meet government
approval.
