the spirit of the closed shop and check
off,"
They urged that non-union miners
were in considerable number" taxi
ing the anthracite fields as whole,
and that the present demand aims at
coercing them into the mine workers
fold. They said the CLOSED shop" was
openly demanded by John l.. Lewis
in fields covered by union contracts
and that the CHECK offs" by which
union dues would be automatically
deducted by company paymasters, was
equivalent to asking the operators to
'underwrte" the organizations drive
for 100. per cent. membership,
President Lewis rejoined that both
CLOSED shops" and CHECK offs had
worked smoothly in the bituminous
coal fields since 1897, and that btu
minous operators at New York last
February had not questioned renewal
in signing the basic wage agreement
now in effect.
President Lewis received advices
from Nova Scotia today that the Red
coal strike in District IS there was
broken and that all the miners had
returned to work. The messages stat
ed that the provisional administration
Mr.. Lewis had Installed after revok-
ing the charter of the Radicals was

ACCUSES FRENCH PREMIER
OF WICKED DISTORTIONS
Lloyd George Says He Unscrews the
Cylinders of Carefully Distilled
Hatred

BY The Associated Press
Bristol, England, July 26.-Former
Premier Lloyd George made a fierce
attack on NJ. Poincare, the French
premier, in a speech here yesterday.
He objected to NJ. Poincare's habit of
making speeches on Sunday, which,
he pointed out, was a day consecrated
to good will and hardly a day ito
"unscrew the cylinders of carefully
distilled hatred, ill-will, suspicion and
anger among the nations"
Abiding to past negotiations, Mr..
Lloyd George said: II did not fall out
with NJ. Poincare. but it was very diff
ficult. Bonar Law also found it quite
impossible to work with him."
The former premier accused NJ.
Poincare of "wickedly distorting" his
speeches, and expressed the hope that
the British efforts toward peace would
not be converted into mere fuel for
further devastating and scorching
flames. which burn up the peace,
prosperity, progress and happiness of
mankind"

Mine owners Fight
CLOSED SHOP idea
Take Offensive for First Time in
Coal Issue

Atlantic City, N. j., July 26.-An'
thracite mine owners yesterday took
the offensive for the first time in the
Joint scale negotiations with the mine
workers, at the Hotel Ambassador
They assailed the CLOSED shop and
check off" the principal features IN
the demand for complete recogni-
tion," as illegal and impossible of
acceptance.
They desclaimed any intention of
delivering an ultimatum, but indi-
Gated small ground for compromise.
With the miners returning the at
tack in defense of their demands, dis
cussion became so animated that the
fcint subcommittee forgot the
luncheon hour and carried the de-
bate we'll into the afternoon. .Ad-
iournment was taken until today
when both sides realized how sharply
they were divided.
The operators, however, found
time to concede another of the min
er's demands. which, while of minor
Importance, increased to four the
concessions made so far. This left
seven issues. They include the ques-
ton of wage increases, which con-
tinued to remain in the background.
The operators agreed outright to
the miners proposition that here
after when rate sheets for new
work have been mutually agreed
upon they shall be filed with the am
thraeite board of Cancellation, which
In turn, shall have the power of re-
view on subsequent objection from
either side. Heretofore rate sheets
for such work could not be modified

union recognition the operators said:

NEW RIVER ADDS
6 MILES TO DOCKS
Waterway Improved So as to
Help Ford Interests

Detroit July 26.-The river Rouge.
site of the great blast furnaces of the
Ford Motor company, has been initiat-
ed to deep draft vessels. For years a
lazy twisting stream, the river has
been developed as an artery of the
Detroit river at the behest of the
Ford interests.
To permit the great ore carriers of
the lakes to bring their cargoes di-
rect to the blast furnaces, the river
has been reconstructed. Instead of
the twisting stream of former years a
new river Rouge has been created
From the mouth of the Detroit river
to the Ford turning basin the stream
is three miles long, almost two miles
shorter than the old course. Its width
at the mouth is 400 feet, and the
average width along the dock lines is
500 feet with a bottom width of 200
feet. The depth at low water is 81
feet
A new canal, 1000 feet long, was
cut through the entire subdivision Of
property, avoiding an So turn where
the river joins the basin.
Some Is industries in addition to
the Ford blast furnaces are operat-
ing along the banks of the Rouge.
and with the improvement just COM
pleted six miles of docking facilities
have been added to Detroits water
front. Heretofore the industries To-
Gated at the Rouge have attracted an
nual cargo tonnage of 100000. The
Ford plant alone expects to bring in
1000, 900 tons during 1928.
This total cost of the new Rouge.
including bridges. dredging, and right
of way is estimated at SIC, 600, 900.
