Cleveland Conference May
Not Act on Wage Mat
ters, Says Ogle.

Various interpretations are
placed on a statement made by
Alfred NJ. Ogle, Terre Saute,tInd
president of the National Coal
Association, which was received
today by George S. Bracket, Fair
mont secretary of the North ern
West Virginia Coal Operators As
socia ton. The statement indicates
in the main that the jointtconfer
ence OF operators and miners at
Cleveland will not deal with the
wage question and that an imme-
diate settlem ent Of the coal strike
with more constructive plans to
n negotiate future contracts will be
reached.
VIII ether the min ers will be put
back into the pits on the present
wage scale as suggested by Presi-
dent Harding pending a settle
ment and the development Of
more constructive plans for future
wage scales is matter Of nice
.ture. The full plans have notibeen
revealed.
Mr. ogle's statement is al fol
lows: !s !t
.No effort is being made to per-
suade any state or district not pres
ent at the Cleveland conference to
attend such a conference or any
adjournment thereof ana. 50 far
as NJ know, o#other Interests or
distric lets will attend the conference.
SAIL rumors to that effect have

COUNTY TAXES
NOT INCREASED.
FOR next VI: YEAR. { \.
General Road Fund Levy Cut
to12 Cents and General
Levy Unchanged

Marion County taxpayers VIII pay
practically the same am ount oi
lakes as they paid last year, II the
estimated levy today tentatively ap.
proved by the County Court IS I'm
ally adopted. The total levy VIII oe
decreased in proportion to the IN
creased valuation.
The estimated levy decided upon
today by the County Court for the
general road fund was IL cents on
the 500 valuation, which Will
bring the county approximately
S129,6O0 for general road improve
ment purposes in the county. The
levy in this item alone was de-
creased 10 cents The levy last year
for general road purposes was ~
cents, netting the county S18o,4Oo.
The decreased levy will mean that
the general road fund will be
about $4,000 less than 1T was last
year. The County Court is Of the
opinion that the decrease can safe
" be made due to the fact that
most OF the districts are now able
to take care of them selves and will
not have to call upon the general
5countysroad fund for financial aid.
Then, to o. the count has erected
niayn more bridg during the past
year than. twill be call ed Tl:HonTte
construct during the next year as
/ the county Is n now well provided
with bridges. Il IL
III 20 Cent General levy
The est stimated levy for the coun-
ty's general fund will be 20 cents
on the 800 valuation.gThe County
Court figures that it#wiil take at
least S216 700 to sdefray the general
expenses Of the county for the en-
suing year, and a levy OF 20 cents
on valuation in Marion County Of
approxima atelys 100000 will pro
vide the amount Of the estimated
budget.
Last year the levy for the gen
era1 fund was 90 cents, bringing g
the county the sum of only
S164,O0c due to the fact that last
year the taxable property of Mar
ion County was valued at about
S2,OO0,OOO, as compared to the
present valuation Of S1OS, 100000
BY leaving the general levy at
the same figure the county will get
about $5 1000 more money in this
item. Additional expenses are
anticipated in Criminal Court ex-
pSnSeS, payment gOI5 uep uLy tSuSI-
ifs employed during the mine
trouble, for the payment Of coun t.
health officers, and other minor
items.
Distric Road Levies
The istrict road levies will be
reduced in practically all the dis
. tricts. At press time this after
noon the County Court had not
determin ed what the estimated
district ctroad levy would be. It is
certain, however, that the district
road leyies will rem ain at Is cents
on the 500 valuation1in in Winfield
|. Union and Grant districts due to
heavy road Improvement Indebted
ness.
In all the other districts, it will
be possible to decrease the district
road levies, due to the fact that
the other districts have consid-
I cradle sum in the treasury from
last year The district bond levy
can be reduced about 3 cents on
the 500 valuation it is believed
which will be in proportion to the
increased valuation.

COAL OPERATORS
HERE / INTERESTED N |. Il
Cleveland Conference Holding
Attention Of Producers
in Region Today

Coal operators Of Northern West
Virginia are watching the develop
m ents at the joint conference at
Cleveland today with a great dea.
OF interest, The mai jorlty Of the
operators believe that nothing
will be worked out there due, to at
titude OF the Indiana coal opera
tors although press dispatches DO
not exactly indicate that the stu
alton is hopeless
The feature that is watched here
with unusual interest is the ats.
ltude to be assumed by certain Goa
producing interests OF Northern
west Virginia, which according to
dispatches will participate in the
conference.
The Northern West Virginia
coal Operators Association, it has
been learned, will not be berepresenr-
ed as an association although GER
tain individual interests: may re-
present themselves If press dis
patches are correct.

Old World Troubles

I that the good sense and seR-interest OF
the American housewife viii lead her to
the polls. ...
once there, she will register a vote to
cut down the cost of her chifdren'S food
and clothing
BY MRS. HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON
vice. Chairman, Republican National
Executive Committee.
The whole trend in politics today is fer
men and women to work together, to at
tend the same meetings, to hear both men
and women speakers, to have Offices in
the same headquarters. -.-..--
During the last several weeks I have
personally met women voters in five df-
ferent states-Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
Maryland and Massachusetts,. Every
where have found keen, intelligent in
terest in the issues. During the whole
campaign. through reports received at
national headquarters, have kept close
Iy in touch with the political situation as
it affects the woman's vote throughout
the country.
Here and there it is reported women
dc not understand the protective tariff,
and it is asserted this will cost the Re
publican party their votes.
= Women More Partisan.
These reports do not frighten ME. II
am convinced that the misleading state
ments made concerning the effect Of new
tarlf1 rates on pTlCSS VIII nave q 4ACSh6I-
Bile influence on the womans vote. The
women of America as a whole knew well
that protective tariff means prosperity
for the country. They know that it will
mean that all the factories will be open
and that all the workmen will be busy.
The present campaign shows two things |
clearly.
FIRST: Women are becoming more
partisan.
SECOND: The women who voted for
President Harding in 1920 are continuing
their affiliations with the Republican
party.
The Conference on Limitations of Ar
maments has nullified the feeling many
women held for the League Of Nations
1t showed America could play a great part
in the peace OF the world without max
ing any dangerous entanglements with
ether nations and without the sacrifice
Of this country's independent position.
Measures passed by the Sixty-Seventh
Congress of particular interest to women
have been the maternity bill and the in
dependent citizenship bill.
