Public Confidence, Charge.
He Reiterates That He Won't
ReSign-"No Matter What"
TO BECOME BOARD TREASURER
"Vice Club Statement Was the
Latest Charge He Made.
Allegations Which Got Him "in
Bad' Were Sensational

St Louis, April 22.-Victor ]. Mil
Ter will be deposed as president of the
st. Louis board of police commission
ers next Tuesday, it was announced
today. following a statement last night
by Governor Hyde that Mr.. Miller
had forfeited public confidence and
thereby seriously impaired his own
usefulness"
When told of the action decided
upon. Mr.. Miller reiterated: 'T will
not resign under any circumstances" "
spelling out the word "any." The plan
decided upon is that the four offices
of the police board-president. vice
president, purchasing agent and treas
urer-will be declared vacant and
that Philip H. Brockrnan. present
purchasing agent, will be elected pres
ident and Mr.. Miller, treasurer
Mr.. Miller cannot be removed as a
member of the board except for mis-
conduct in office
The president of the board has di-
rect charge of law enforcement and
Mr.. Miller's removal from the presi-
dency will deprive him of the author
ity to lead police raids and direct other
police activities personally.
Since his election to the presidency
more than a year ago, Mr.. Miller has
been very active in personally direct
ing police activities.
Mr.. Miller has caused a great
amount OF crlCclSm by his public
speeches and the present action of the
governor is said to have been a re-
suit of Mr.. Miller's charges that vice
clubs existed at Soldan high school,
which is attended by children of
wealthy st. Louisans. At a subsequent
investigation conducted by a parents
committee of the school, Mr.. Miller
was unable to substantiate the
charges.
Several months previous to the Sol
dan affair, Mr.. Miller was criticised
for speech he delivered in which he
asserted the majority of bandits be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81 were for
mer service men,

WINS IN FIGHT WITH FISH.
Famous Diver Struggled for Life With
Underseas MOnster-KIIls It.

Tacoma, Wash. April 22.-Battling
for life, fifty feet beneath the surface
of Puget sound, Walter McCray, a
diver known in marine circles from
Alaska to California, came out victor
ious here yesterday over a giant devil
fish.
The monster wound its tentacles so
tightly about McCray that the diver
was unable to reach the knife he car
ries for protection. When one ten
tacle threatened to cut off the air
supply, McCray. thru the submarine
telephone, called for a short steel
wrecking bar. With this weapon the
diver was able to pierce the body of
the devil fish and at last, with man
and monster still struggling desper-
ateIy, McCray was drawn to the sur
face The fight continued until the
fish released its hold and disappeared
in the water.

Chicago April 22.-The menace of
a railway strike involving the 100000

Notice of a proposed wage reduc-
ton was given by the Santa Re last
December but the company has not
"farmed out" any of its repair work,
W. X Etter, acting general manager
of the eastern lines said today. Unlike
a few eastern companies which have
leased their shops to private concerns,
the Santa Fe is still having all repair
work done in its own shops. Mr.. Etter
said.
The reduction in wages by the Santa
Fe, not only for shop workers, but
employees in practically all depart
ments, would restore the scale that
was in effect early in 1920 before the
final big increase in wages was made.
and would be effective after Decem Der
20, 1921. The notice was followed by
various conferences and the matter Is
now before the United States labor
board.

the trade boards which control wages

million workers in England is advo-
Gated in the report of the commission
under Viscount Cabe which has been
studying the question for the last six
months.
Not only does the commission deny
these bodies have contributed to the
trade depression and unemployment,
as charged, but it recommends that
the minister of labor be given power
to establish others in trades where the
wages are unduly low, and suggests
stringent penalties for employers not
paying the rates the boards prescribe.

Fort Worth, Texas. April 22.-Set-
tlement of the coal strike at Bridge
port was effected Friday afternoon at
a conference in Bridgeport between
miners and operators and the 500
miners will all be back at work, Mon
day. Some of the day men started
work again this morning when the
whistle blew after being silent for
three weeks.
The men agreed to take a cut in day
wages of $3.50 per day and rs cents
a ton reduction for piece workers was
also accepted, according to James
Mooney, special representative of Pres
ident Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers of America, who returned to Fort
Worth last night after representing the
miners at the conference.
Scale Is Tentative.
The new scale of wages is tentative
and will be effective until there is an
agreement made between southwest
ton and District 21 of the United
Mine Workers for Oklahoma and
Arkansas, where the strike is still on.
Whatever wage scales are agreed to
for this district will govern the Bridge
port mines. Mooney said
The Oklahoma scales that may be
fixed will be retroactive and if higher
wages are fixed in future miners at
Bridgeport will receive the difference
between the scale just agreed upon
and whatevery the Oklahoma scale
may be.
Similarly. If a lower scale is agreed
on in Oklahoma, minesr here will lose
the difference. This was accepted by
both operators and men at Bridgeport
National Headquarters Agrees.
Details of the new tentative scale
that permits the men to go back to
work were outlined at a recent meet
ing here between John Wilkinson,
president of District No. 81: Mooney,
Gus Sparkling, representatives of the
men. and officials of the company
The new agreement has the full ap
probation of national headquarters OF
the miners.
In a statement issued today Mooney
said he would be very glad to meet
operators in the Thurber district and
the Strawn fields and seek to work
out an equitable wage scale with these
interests For more than a year the
union miners have been locked out at
the mines in these areas.
