Not Materially Reduce
Price of Hard Coal

New York, May 24.-Inion repre-
sentatiyes of anthracite miners to-
day summoned operators to conf,
ence of the joint sub committee on
wage contract negotiations. to hear
their formal refusal to accept II
per cent wage cut, proposed by the
operators last week. The meeting
will he held tomorrow night.
Freight reductions, ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
will have little effect on the price
of anthracite to the consumer, Thom-
as Kennedy, president of district No.
: at Hazleton, asserted tonight after
a conference with statisttcian3 OF the
United Mine Workers.
The proposed reduction will
amount to only 31.o cents Il ton, he
said adding:
IF it could be reduced 81 ton
it might mean something to those
who have to burn it,"
Mr.. kennedy declared the rcduc-
ton was nothing to the increased
rates obtained by the operators dur
ing and since the war"
In 1918, he said, freigh. rates on
hard coal were increased 25 per cent
and in 1920 an additional 40 per cent.
This last raise caused the operators
to add so cents a ton to the selling
price of coal land put $S,000,000 OF

Attitude of Sim
Fein Unknown on
Arrests in Ulster

Dublin, May 24-(By a. P.)--The
Ulster situation has eclipsed the in
terest in the forthcoming elections,
and the gravity of the situation is
everywhere recognized. Beyond a
brief statement by Michael Collins
that since the treaty was with the
British government Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, has nothing to do
with its Interpretation. no indication
has been given OF what is to be the
attitude OF any of the southern Sim
Fein leaders.
The arrest OF Sim Feiners in the
six counties area was in no wise sur
prising. 1t vas declared that an even
larger number of arrests was to he
expected. But the proclamation by
Premier Craig in the Ulster parlia-
ment Tuesday making membership in
the Irish Republican Army an Offense
came as surprise, as all the south
ern leaders on both sides of the pres
ent controversy belong to the army.
1t was said today that the first con-
sidera ton of the effect of the proclaim
alton on the army organization prob
ably would be by an officer board, and
not by the Dali Eireann leaders, who
have not yet arrived a a common pol
icy to be adopted toward the Ulster
problem.
Eamon DeValera's newspaper the
Republic of Ireland, will say tomor-
row:
"The DeValera Collins agreement
| regarding elections an, coalition
cabinet at least has given us respite
| from the dissensions which were tear
in, the nation asunder. and If it leads,
as we trust it will, to unificatiOn of
the army. it averts the terrible arbi-
/ ira mcnt of civil war between COM
rades.'
| Touching on the Ulster question the
! same newspaper says:
| ''The action of the British govern
ment in conniving al pograms. in pay
ing for special police and in extend
ing almost unlimited financial sup
port to the northern government in
the midst of it's terroristic policy, is
an insolent breach Of the spirit of
the treaty surely. Mr., Collins can
take a bold stand with the British
in the treaty"

crystalline lump and two cents a pound
on crystalline flakes.
After a siX-hour struggle over this
one item the Senate settled down to
its 10th night session since the tariff

party conference tomorrow at which
Republicans again will be urged to

bill out of the way.

graphite was made the subject OF jest
by several speakers on the Republican
side today and brought a statement
from Senator Borah of Idaho that
there wasn't such a wide difference
between the two parties on the tariff
question, the Democrats favoring pro-

This was disputed by Senator Stanley,
Democrat, Kentucky. who declared he
