Lewis would not comment today
on a report from Washington to
the effect that persons close to the
administration understood Governor
Pinchot was endeavoring to bring
about a compromise which would
mean an increase OF possibly ten
per cent in the miners pay. Such a
concession, it was asserted by those
in close touch with the situation,
would go a long way toward pre-
venting a strike.

Seeks "Eyen.Handed Justice"
Governor Pinchot emphasized to
the operators and miners that it is
the desire of the Government, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
the public that the present contro-
yersy be settled on terms of even
handed justice" A settlement based
on anything less than justice to all
could not properly be accepted, ne
declared.
1.-The right of the public to inter-
vene carries with it the clear re-
sponsibility to see that impartial
Justice is done to both Sides" he
said. In it's desire to be served
the public cannot afford to accept
any settlement that is based upon
anything less than justice. Further
more. an unjust settlement cannot
last. The people believe, and are
right in believing, that the suffer

able"
Cites States Responsibility.
In considering every phase of the
situation, Governor Pinchot further
told the opposing parties, the duty
of Pennsylvania and its mines to
other anthracite using States and
to Canada must not be overlooked.
The Commonwealth OF Pennsyl-
vania has q responsibility to other
aw ns,&k k,Cf a.

responsibility for the safety and
welfare Of her own citizens.
I'VE have taught them to use
our product. The prosperity of the
region which produces anthracite
comes largely from such use.
Having taught them to expect and
value our service we cannot lightly
disappoint them"
Other reasons to show that an
anthracite strike at this time would
work disaster upon the country
were brought into play by the gov
ernor in his appeal.
The country is just now enter
ing period Of prosperity after
prolonged depression. The closing
down OF the anthracite mines would
tend to undermine the confidence
essential to q continuance Of this
prosperity" he declared.
Our railroads are heavily taxed
already, an uneven output of coal
now much and rev little-will tend
to block transportation and the
blocking OF transportation will be
almost as effective in making a
GOAL shortage as In closing the
mines"

Aroused over the alleged existence
of vice and bootlegging in certain
sections of Southwest washington,
the South Washington Citizens Asso-

jefferson School, adopted resolu-
tion requesting the police to redouble
their efforts to stamp out these con-
ditions. This action was taken fol-
lowing a report by Mrs. Julia Bana-
gan, chairman of the Welfare COM
mittee of the organization.
The police also will be asked by
the association to investigate COM
plants brought before it that hack
ers park their vehicles along 7th
street near B street and make in
sulting remarks to schoolgirls who
pass.
Horse drawn fire apparatus used
in the southwest was declared made
quate. 1T takes too long for it to
get to a fire and has too much ter
rtory to cover for horse-draWn en-
gine," it was stated.
Robert Stobel declared that often
the engine answered calls to uptown
fires which left the southwest prac-
tically unprotected while it is away,
with the exception Of the fire boat
which is only able to cope with fires
close to the water front.

of young boys who visited him re-
Gently and requested that he use his
influence among the members of the
association toward having the trees

DR.. Thompson reported an inter

efforts will be made toward this end,
it was decided.
