PlNCHOT CALLED
in Mine CRISIS
Hard Coal Strike Is Ordered;
Pennsylvania Governor Last
Peace Hope.
CALLS FARLEY AS ARBITER
Coolidge Appoints Him as Emissary of
the President in Final Effort to
Avert Wal<out-Hurries to
Coal Fields.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 25.-
Philip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, announced at the
close of a session at the Hotel Am
bassador that the full scale committee
Of the anthracite miners had author
lied the drawing up of a proclama-
ton covering the suspension Of 1867
600 mine workers on the expiration
of the present working contract on
September 1.
No provision has been made for
the exemption Of the 1000 mainte-
nance men necessary to keep the mines
from floating owing to the failure of
any provision by the operators, miners
said, for the basis of payment and
the hours of work for these men dur
Ing the suspension.
This announcement was a consid-
cradle surprise to A. B. Jessup, act
ing spokesman for the operators, who
asserted that always in the past the
miners had permitted the retention of
the engineers and pumpmen in order
to protect the properties
When word was brought to the
miners and operators that President
Coolidge had delegated to Governor
Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania full
power as federal mediator to prevent
if possible the impending mine strike,
both sides expressed their willingness
to attend another conference.
Washington, Aug. Ex-Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania has been
delegated by President Coolidge to
attempt to bring miners and operators
of the hard coal fields into a new
wage agreement before September /,
1t was announced at the White House.
The selection was made by the
President following conference at
the executive mansion with John Hays
Hammond, United States coal COM
missioner.
Governor Pinchot issued the fol-
lowing statement when he left the
White House:
'The President has been good
enough to call me into conference on
the coal situation and has asked me
to do what l can to help in finding
a solution. 1 have refrained from
taking any action until knew that
1t was agreeable to the President that
should do SO. Now I shall pro-
coed to get in touch with the miners
and operators promptly after / reach
Harrisburg"

NAVY TO FIGHT
S7O,OOO,OOO CUT
President Warned Department
Must Have Money to Be
Made Efficient.
HARDING's STAND IS CITED
Late President Opposed the Slash, Act
Ing Secretary Roosevelt Will Tell
Budget Director Lord When
He Returns to Capital.

Washington, Aug. 24.-When Budget
ton, September 5, he will be told by
Acting Secretary Roosevelt that the
navy's 1915, 100000 budget was APP
proved by the late President Harding,
it was learned semioficially Thursday.
President Coolidge is understood to
have indicated he would back up Mr..
Harding's wishes to the limit.
The late executive was fully alive
to the dangers of unpreparedness, and
is said to have planned to emphasize
strongly in his message to congress
the need of bringing the navy up to
the ratio allowed under the five-power
treaty.
The proposed cut Of more than $7O,-
100000, therefore, came as decided
shock to the naval establishment.
Bureau chiefs have been busy sew
eral days revising their estimates, but
all efforts to cut have amounted to
robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Many items are inadequate when
considered in the broad scheme of ma
tional defense.
With the near approach of the Sixty
eighth session Of congress, the navy
is we'll prepared for the annual assault
upon Capitol Hill. Colonel Roosevelt
and his council are gathering the opin-
ions of numerous leading Americans
who, returning from Europe, have adj
vised the United States to keep out of
the European quagmire and to estab-
lish more coast defenses.
These opinions will be presented
along with the statistical part of the
argument.

K. K. K. SET FIERY
GROSS NEAR FAIR
Demonstration Put On Friday Eve
ming in Sterling's Pasture.

A fiery cross, the emblem of the
Ku Klux Khan, blazed in Lew Ster-
ling's pasture last Friday evening
right after the fireworks at the county
fair. Mrs. M. C. Grant noticed two
men come out of the pasture and told
them to close the gate after them,
or the cattle would get out. One of
the men got out of the car and closed
the gate. They were dressed in, plain
clothes and gave no evidence of the
usual Khan regalia.
The people at the fair were sur
prised when they saw this large cross
faring in the sky. Two two by tours
about twenty feet long were nailed to-
gether and some crossbars were nail
ed to this. The cross was then raised
and three cans of kerosene were used
to saturate the wood and cause the
flames.
Who the men were who built and
erected the cross and where they went
is unknown. AS far as we are able
to learn there is no Khan organiza-
ton in Waseca.-Waseca Journal.

Khan cracks down on law violators it
does it hard" 1--WE are not disposed
to stand on the sidelines and do
