whether the national committee oil
the Nonpartisan league would accept
the resignation of A. c. Townley
national president, rendered at the
state convention OF the league al

convention rejected Townley's bal

Il am certain. however. that no

Believes Townley Mistaken.
81 believe he is mistaken in a
statement credited to him at the con-

conventions, action at Fargo in re.

had destroyed confidence of the peo-
pie in that state and in other states
in his leadership. My confidence in
him isn't destroyed an iota.'
Townley's balance OF power plan
dovetails with Sorenson's desires in
the present campaign in which Sor-
enson urged selection of men in
sympathy with Nonpartisan plans in
old parties rather than formation OF
a third party. Townley. fresh from
the Chicago meeting, where simi-
lar balance OF power plan in nation
al politics was decided upon by ma.
tional socialist, Nonpartisan league
and certain labor leaders, broached
the proposition to Nebraska Nom
partisanites at the annual convention
in Lincoln several weeks ago.

In Nebraska the league, or rather
the league delegates, accepted the
Townley plan and passed resolutions

Dominate Coal Interests;
Railways Control Output.

Washington, March 2o.-That
owners of coal mining properties,
both anthracite and bituminous. are
forcing a general strike in union
mines by their "autocratic attitude .
and that the reason for their attitude
Can be found in domination of the
coal industry by financial interests"
were charges made in statement
by Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor.
He supplemented these charges
with statistics which he declared
showed that real ownership of many
bituminous coal properties lay in the
hands of the steel industry, while
anthracite mines were asserted to be
largely adjuncts to railroad opera
tons"
Mr.. Gompers asserted that con-
troll OF the mines was thus taken ito
all effective degree, from the hands
of actual operating men and placed
in tie hands OF financial interests"
Goal mines have :ecome merely
wheels in great profit-making ma
chine he said, Operated by men for
whom all things must give way to
profits"
As to the anthracite fields, Mr..
Compers said that congressional in
vestigations and federal proceedings
had disclosed Seven railroads con-
trolling 90 per cent Of the output"
The result, he asserted, was that
profits from coal operations are
rot found in the coal mine reports,
but in dividend reports Of the rail
roads where they are manipulated so
as to appear moderate, or at loss,
in order that miners wages may be
retained at the lowest conceivable
level"
