More than 100 prominent Assyrians
from many parts of the United States
Bishops, lawyers, merchants and up
lifters with the love of Assyria In their
hearts-went to the Waldorf apartment
last night to attend meeting that had
been called by Charles Valentine
Knightly to discuss some weighty mat

The Assyrians filed in and sat down.
Knightly did not appear. Neither did

dent Coolidge, Ambassador Geddes and
lot of others who according to the
advance notices sent out by Knightly.
were to have been on hand to contribute
to the discussion.
Along about o'clock, just as every
body was getting fidgety and wishing
that somebody would come and start the
meeting, the news leaked in--by way of
a porter, a sudden burst of understand
ing on somebody's part or some other
way-that Knightly would not be there.
In fact, Knightly could not attend II
he wanted to- Some Of those at the
meeting said they had read in the news
papers that Knightly was under arrest
charged with grand larceny. because OF
an unfortunate experience In Boston.
The immigration authorities there had
cause, they allege, ne charged Armenian
immigrants s25 each to get them by the
authorities after the quota for Armenia
had been Allied.
When news of this leaked In the
Assyrans took up their hats and went
out. They halted in front of the hotel,
gesticulating and denouncing Knightly
for making them come all the way from
San Francisco. New Orleans and else
where for a meeting that could not be
held Ona of the most indignant of
them all was Bishop Yawalaha, leader
of the group.
"This Knightiy" said the Bishop,
was behind the whole thing. He has
put this meeting off three times. but
this time 1t was to have been held with
out fail. Here is a circular letter In
which he promised that Gen. Agha
Petros, representing Assyrian interests
in Paris, would be present. And wha.

Vice-President Coolidge and Ambassa-
dor Geddes? Where are they? Knightly
has He'd" -.
Knightly's circular to the Assyrians
set forth that the meeting was to discuss
immigration. colonization, indemnity for
losses during the war and the place of
Assyrians In the United States Plans
to obtain the recognition Of Assyria by
the United States also were to be dis
cussed. and this made particularly
strong appeal to Assyrian leaders
throughout the country.
Those who gathered at Knightly's call
included the Rev. j. Y. Ikombar of New
Orleans, Prof. A. Yohannan of Column

non-union strikebreakers.
"Too Much Gun Fire"
"A group of miners went to the mine
for a conference and 10 urge the strike
breakers to leave. but the miners were
greeted with much gun fire. Two min
ers> were killed. All the miners in this
community resented this and the feel
ing was so intense that they arose en-
masse and marched on the mine and
demanded that operations cease imme-
diately, This request was refused and
they were ordered away During the
night and the next morning miners, in

men and marched them down the road.
with the result tina, twenty 20 twenty
five were Killed.
Previous 10 the disorder the armed
guards at this mine acted In a high
handed manner. They stopped persons
on the public highway and searched
them. They refused any one to come
near the place, They insulted women.
As a result the farmers of the COM
munity became incensed. No man here
was willing to stand for such action by
these strike breakers"
Mr. Willis insisted that John l..
Lewis's telegram that the imported men
should be treated as common strike
breakers" did not incita the trouble.
He refused to discuss the Lewis tele-
gram, saying that those received here
came from Frank harrington, 1t was
understood that he made this statement
because of antipathy to Lewis. whom
he does not mention when discussing
mine unions,
James Richie another union official
said that the attack on the mine was
made mostly by citizens of the conf
munity who were not miners and who
were incensed over the actions of the
guards.

porters said On June II We noticed
newspaper stories that trouble was ex-
pected here. We called States At

LEWIS DENIES MESSAGE
REFERRED TO OUTBREAK
Says Officers Are Shocked;
Blames Company Agents.

CINCINNATI, June 23 (Associated
Press) John L. Lewis, head OF the
United Mine Workers. declared to-day
that his message to state Senator Sneed
at Herrin saying that the men working
at the mine were strikebreakers did not
have amy reference or connection with
the disturbance"
The United Mine Workers of America
is not To any degree responsible for the
unfortunate occurrence at Herrin,r he
said. The organization has never en-
couraged and does not condone lawless-
ness OF any character. The officers Of
the organization are shocked and greatly
deplore this tragedy. We are not how
ever, unmindful of the fact that sinister
Influences have for some time been at
work among our membership to incite
and inflame the spirit Of violence. The
ranks of the strikers are infested with
thousands OF detectives and secret SER
vice operatives whose employment by
coal companies depends upon their
ability TO provoke violence and disturb
public Tranquility. We have frequently
called attention 10 this fact before In
vestigatlng committees Of Congress and
have cited innumerable instances where
outrages and murders have been COM
mitted by these irresponsible and lawless
agents OF the coal operators.
1T Is not true, as alleged, that the
telegram from me addressed TO state
Senator William J. Sneed had any refer
ence 10 connection with the disturba nee
at Herrn, A reading OF the telegram
which has already been published. will
conclusivey show that It merely referred
to the trade union status Of the members
Of the steam Shovelmen's Union who
were working in strip pit operations
throughout the country. The activities
of the. members Of the Steam Shovel
mems Union had caused them to be defi-
nitely placed in the category OF strike
breakers and so stated in my telegram
Of the 18th inst. In reply TO the inquiry
wired me by Senator Sneed.

VOLSTEAD TO CONSIDER
A DIVORCE AMENDMENT
Would Permit Federal Regu-
lafion of Subject.
Special Dispatch TO THE NEw York HnRALp.
New York Herald Bureau,
WashinQtan. ID. O.. June %

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 23.-Rep-
resentative Volstead (Minn.), author of
the prohibition enforcement law, is con-
sidering the Introduction of a resolution
providing for an amendment of the
Constitution to permit Federal regula-
tion of divorce and possibly marriages.
The House judiciary Committee, of
which Representative Volstead Is chair
man, has received the resolution adopted
by the Federation Of Women's Clubs at
the recent meeting at Chautauqua, n, Y,
advocating U) repeal OF all State mar
riage and divorce statutes and CD pas
sage of a Federal law, general in it's
application. The resolutions have also
been received by the Senate judiciary
Committee.
An amendment would be necessary,
said Mr.. Volstead, because the law
would interfere with rights reserved by
the States. which are not expressly con-
ferred upon the Federal government. IN
the constitution
He believes there VIII be no chanca
of considering such a measure at this
session of Congress.
The representations made to the Judi
ciary Committee concerning divorce laws
dea! with both sides of the subject. Some
want divorce made easier. Others would
make divorces more difficult to obtain.
The representations made to the COM
mittee concerning marriage laws deal
with the health OF the contracting par
ties and principles of eugenics, and
would provide that no boy under 81 or
girl under IS years of age could marry
anywhere without consent of parents
or guardian.
The Federation of Women's Clubs
would allow divorces for physical or
mental cruelty, when clearly proven, for
desertion OF one year, for proved inf
deity and for habitual drunkenness.
They would have divorce cases heard
secretly and, except where unfitness Is
proven would give the mother custody OF
children.
