OPERATORS STUDY
MINERS DEMANDS
Increase for Contract Work.
= ers May Be Taken Up First
in Committee Meeting.
By the Associated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. July Ii
Operators and miners of the anthra-
cite regions of Pennsylvania will re-
lsume consideration In subcommittee
this afternoon of the demands OF
tho employees. There was no nxeo
program as to whioh demand VIII be
taken up. but it Is expected that the
one asking for increased wages for
contract miners will be considered.
Yesterday the operators renewed
their suggestion that the minors
agree to continue work after August
81 in the event no agreement is
reached by that time, but the union
leaders showed no disposition to
change their position to the effect
that there Is plenty Of time to nego-
tiate u contract. The operators
wanted such an agreement in order
to allay public apprehension that
there Will not be a continuous sup
\ ply of coal next fall and winter. The
miners replied that 1t was an un-
warranted anticipation that the sub
committee could not reach az agree
ment by the end of August and
would have the effect of insuring no
early agreement. as there would De
no reason to hurry.
While carrying on the negotiations
with the anthracite operators inter,
national President Lewis OF the miners
union is in touch with the coal strike
situation in Nova Scotia. he mas
been advised that the meeting called
yesterday of the district board or
the Nova Scotia miners to consider
his instructions to call of the strike
because il was in violation of the
contract with the coal company was
postponed until today. 1t is expect
ed that If his instructions are not
speedily carried out he Will take
further action.

GoMPERs RAPS REPORT.
Says Everything Is Against Min
ers' Interest.


Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation. of Labor. in
commenting today on the report OF
the United States Coal Commission,
charges that the commission oeins
without a representative or the mine
workers, is forcing compulsory WORK
on the miners while shielding the
y "monopolistic operators" His criti-
cism follows:
"Real penalties for the miners,
phantom penalties for the operators
seem to be the outstanding feature
in the program favored by the Fed

the anthracite coal industry.
The commission. by its recon-
mendation, would invoke the penalty
of compulsory labor upon the miners:
But for the monopolistic owners or
the coal mines the commission would
provide a slap on the wrlst-a Sc,
we're dose OF publicity. That would
be only the ghost, the merest shadow
of a penalty.
No Mine Worker.
TT is plain to see that of all the
bright minds on the committee not
one was a representative of the coal
miners. If there had been single
representative of the men who ac-
commission would scarcely have rec
commended that the President be
given full power to fix the wages
to be paid the workers in the event
of a suspension of mining opera
tions.
"Any attempt to outlaw the right
to stop work as a means of improving
the condition of the working people
of the United States is doomed TO
fail. Such attempts have failed In
the past and will be equally unsuc,
cessful in the future. Labor. will
never give up the right to strike as
a last resort in the fight against
wrong and oppression.
Profits Now Greater.
"The very fact that the commits
sion found that anthracite operators
are receiving nearly three times as
large a profit as before the war is
q strong argument against any at
tempt to force the miners to remain
at work. year in and year out, re-

serves little sympathy in the event
of a cessation of coal mining, because
If 1t will insist on fair play for the
miners there is no danger OF their
SITlhlHS.
Charges that the commissions re-
port had been edited by Attorney
General Daugherty for political pur-
poses may or may not be true. But
reading of the commissions proposals
for dealing with a suspension OF
mining leads one to believe that 1t
could hardly have been better cal
culated to win for the administration
the support of the operators.
"On the whole, the report cannot

POLICE URGE $1,000
AS MINIMUM WAGE
Association Sees Increases
for Officers Out of Propor-
ton to PrivateS.

Strong recommendations that the
minimum salary of policemen of class
three be placed at $1,000 a year were
made at the meeting of the Police
mems Association, District of Colum-
bia, held last night in the Pythian
Temple. 1t was the contention OF
those taking part in the discussion
that the proposed increases for the
officials were away out of proportion

July 1, the present low salaries of
the police will be reduced by cutting
off the $240-a-year bonus.
The organization went on record as
strongly in favor of the bill now
pending in Congress giving police
men one day off in seven, and another
resolution urges the abolition of the
grade of driver private. 1t was point
ed out that the men in this class who
now drive the police patrols are not
eligible for promotion, and it is the
hope of the association to have this
class abolished and to man the pa
trolls with men detailed from class
one. the first grade upon appointment.
Appeal to Citizens.
The association ordered printed n
thousand copies of a comprehensive
pamphlet giving statistics and argu-
ments in support of the bill for in
creased salaries for the local police.
They will be distributed to local civic
bodies and the support of those or

THE PROOF OF THE BARBERRY

That barberry Grad cation is prov

black stem rust epidemics has been
| demonstrated in number Of cases
! this summer. During the winter The
Guide carried story in DR.. c. +.
| Gersorys series which told of the
rust spread in Rush county from a
l00-year- old bush on the Darius Pat
terson farm and gave an account of
the damage to the crops in 1922 and
preceding years. The bush was de-
was free from rust and Mr.. Patterson
said that this was the first time his
wheat escaped since 1882.
The Guide also carried story Of
the severe rust damage last year
which was traced to common barber
ry in Decatur county near Alert.
The bushes were destroyed and this
summer an inspection revealed that
farmers whose fields were not worth
harvesting last season had 20 bushel
yields this year.
A number of cases of heavy rust
closely assoc. ated with the common
barberry were observed this year. In
Shelby county field of wheat on the
Sandy Brown farm was planted near
large common barberry bush. The
part of the field nearest this bush
did not yield over three or four
bushels to the acre, Mr.. Brown said,
because of the severe rust infection.
Along the bank of the Flat Rock
river in another part Of the county.
four large common barberries were
found. These bushes caused an in
lection in several wheat fields Just
across the river A 35-acre field
nearest the bushes yielded only IL
bushels to the acre. The field next
removed yielded Is bushels. Other
fields. farther away, showed higher
Yields.
In Randolph county. not far from
Huntsville, considerable rust was
noted on field of wheat. From five
to ten rods away two large common
barberry bushes were found. The
grain nearest these bushes was heav
lily infected and\ the kernels badly
shrveled. AS the distance from the
bush increased the amount of rust
decreased until it finally disappeared.
