tions and business organizations have

WHOLESALE FIRMS
PROTEST CONDITION

Contending that on the first Of the
year they are compelled to, buy a
stock greatly in excess of their re-
ouirements, representatives OF Ari-
iona Wholesalers appeared before
the state tax commission yesterday
and asked that they be not assessed
on inventory taken at that time.
Charles r. Howe, chairman OF the
tax commission, informed the delega-
ton that they would be required to
make a return Of the total Of their
inventory, the same as any other class
OF merchant. He said. however, that
the matter might be taken up with
the commission later in the year
when it sits as a board OF equaliza-

AQUATIC MEET
 TO BE STAGED
 AT POOL SUNDAY
Local Swimming Talent to Try For Honors; Douglas
 May Be Challenged

A swimming meet is on the calen- dar for next Sunday. Warren pool is the place. The performers will be all those who believe they have a chance to win. The meet is being staged by Instructor Nat Kaufman for the pur- pose of uncovering all natatorial abil- ity in the Warren District and large
 turnout is desired.
 The list of events will include: 50 yards dash for seniors 100 yds' sen iors, 50 yds juniors. 50 yds. breast stroke, 50 yds. girls, 90 yds. boys un der 12 and 30 yds. boys under 10. With the exception of the third event on the program, all numbers will be con ducted under choice stroke rules, that is, the entrants will be permitted to use any stroke or strokes they wish All events will be free-for-all and the entry lists will not be closed until Sat urday evening.
 Kaufman would like to see the Shrinking violets,' both male and fe- male. come out from under cover, so that he can get started on the makeup of the teams to represent the Warren natatorium. More elaborate meet. ings, at which prizes of merchandise will be offered, will be held frequent. ly during the remainder of the season and it is more than probable that a dual engagement with the teams from the pool at Douglas will be held in connection with the closing of the pools for 1922. ~ iaW N

 have the approval of John l.. Lewis, president of the miners, and Alfred M. Ogle, president of the National Coal Association, may be presented to Indiana and Illinois operators to- morrow at their meetings to be held in Indianapolis and Chicago. Conf dence was expressed here tonight by operators and miners that the In diana and Illinois operators would join the conference and it was added that operators were expected from several districts outside the central field, including some southwestern states.
 Some operators at the conference said practically all operators, except ing those in western Pennsylvania and southern Ohio would arrive here Wednesday, They said also some op- orators would come from Pennsyl- vania and southern Ohio.
 MT. Lewis who refused to affirm or deny the plan for settlement to be placed before the conference on Wednesday, declared that he was 'of the opinion that this week will see the end of the bituminous coal con troversy.
 As soon as this is accomplished, the union officials are expected to ask the anthracite operators to renew negotiation on wage scale that was broken off in June after continuing several weeks. In calling the confer ence to order today, Mir. Lewis re fcrred to it as a joint conference of miners and operators"
 Under the plan of settlement to be submitted Wednesday, the wages of the miners, paid under the scale that expired last March 31, would be re newed until March 31,1923, and mean while the advisory commission would decide what recommendation as to wages would be made for the future. The commission also would be auth oriZed to investigate all questions af- fecting the coal industry and though it's powers would be purely advisory, both operators and union officials here regarded this as an important factor in settling local strikes.
 The plan was understood to have been worked out by w. A. Glasgow, of Philadelphia, counsel for the min CTS, and Ralph Crews, of New York, counsel for several big operators. In mapping the program, they consulted with several operators and miners union officials The first presenta tion of the plan to either side of the controversy however, came today when it was given to members of the unions policy committee of 12S mem bers under a pledge of secrecy.

ceptance of the plan on the part of the union would require action by this committee.
 The provision of the plan providing for the re-establishment of the wage scales that were in force in the last contracts between union miners and operators also carries with it the agreement of the operators to con. tinue collection of union dues from the check off, system and all other provisions of the last contracts.
 While the hope was held out by the conferees who had already gath cred here that their ranks would be increased Wednesday, none of them expected representation from the Pittsburg Coal Producers Association which controls most of the output of western Pennsylvania and whose members also have coal mines in southern Ohio. In event of the plan being adopted. it was said that the union planned to continue the strike wherever the operators do not join in the new agreement.
