NEW BRUNSWICK, July T.
Had it not been for a mishap in

Luciano was at once charged with
possessing and transporting intoxi-
cants. He pleaded not guilty and
was locked in the county Jail.

Philadelphia he left the truck in 8
street and went to get something tc
eat, Luciani said. Upon his return
he told the police, he found the
truck mad been loaded and locked
and he began the return trip tc
Brooklyn.
The driver was asked who owned
the truck. He replied that a Mr.

the paddock on a grating over a side
window and then tearing this iron
screen from its setting in the brick
wall. The thieves also started to
work on the safe but it is believed
they were frightened away as they
did not succeed in finishing the
work with the safe.
According to information obtain
ed at the store, this is the third time
the establishment has been robbed.

Occupation Controversy

PARIS, July (By The Associat-

with Great Britain on the latter's de-
sire for written answer to the
British QUESTIONABLE on reparations
and the Ruhr occupation, it was
learned in official quarters today.
Count de st. Aulaire, French ambas-
sador in London, has been instruct
ed to deliver to the British foreign
office copy of the French govern
ment's instructions to the ambassa-
dor on the Preparations conversations
he has had with Lord Curzon.
This copy was left with the British
secretary for foreign affairs yester-
day by the French ambassador, 1t is
stated.
PARIS, July p (By The Associ-
ated Press belgium has made
what is characterized as a veiled
threat to Withdraw her minister
from Berlin unless Germany publicly
disavows the Duisburg bombing and
other violence in the Ruhr. The de-
livery in Berlin by the Belgian min
lister of such a threat was confirmed
in French official quarters today, but
SO far as Is known the French am
bassador has not yet Joined in these
representations.
The French government, however,
in view of the close accord with Bel
GUM is deemed certain to support
the Belgian attitude.
The Belgian demand was not in
the form of an untimatum, but it
nevertheless conveyed the idea that
unless Germany complied the situa-
tion would be likely to result in the
withdrawal of the Belgian minister.
The French, while standing with
the Belgians, still hope no necessity
will arise for the carrying out of the
Belgian threat, which would be fol-
lowed by France"

COAL FARLEY
IS DEFERRED.
Postpone Session Between
Operators and Miners at
Atlantic City Conference
UNTIL NEXT MONDAY
Delay in Reports of Yester-
days Proceedings is Cause
President Lewis Heard
UNTIL NEXT MONDAY

ATLANTIC CITY, July THE
joint session of anthracite opera
tors and miners which was to have
been held here today, and at which
the employers were to have ma lie
their reply to the workers demands,
has been postponed until Monday
afternoon.
The postponement was asked by
the operators because of the ina
bility Of the stenographers to trans
cribe in time their notes of yester-
days proceedings when the repre-
sentatives of the miners took more
than three hours to explain the de-
mands. The operators desired tae
complete transcript so as to frame
their reply.
The stenographers worked near y
all night and when it was found they
could not complete their work, it
was announced. International Pres
ident John l.. Lewis and other mi le
leaders agreed to the postponement.
All the operators and miners wall
remain here. the operators busying
themselves with the work of framing
their answer.
President Lewis in his address in
presenting the demands said there
could be no material compromise on
three cardinal demands, those of
wages, hours and recognition of the
Union which carries with it the
check-off, or collection of Union
dues, by the companies. \
President Lewis drew attention to
Presidents Harding's announcement
in Tacoma, WASH, of the intention
of the steel industry to abolish the
12-hour day, and said he felt no ex-
tended argument was necessary to
convince the mine owners that the
twelve hour day should be eliminated
in the coal fields. Only a minority
of mine workers are employed T.
hours, but the union has for years
fought for a shorter day for these
men.
The mine workers were greatly in
terested to know what reply the coal
companies would make to this de-
mand in view of the action of the
steel company. Whether this de-
velopment in the steel industry had
any influence in the operations ask
ing for post ponement could not be
learned. The operators steadily re-
fuse to talk for publication, not even
admitting that they will oppose the
demands of the $500 mine workers,
which the workers say they expect.
Told To Stop Strike
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July T.
John L. Lewis, International Presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America has telegraphed the union
leaders of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia,
to call off coal miners strike there
because it is a violation of the exist
ing contract and contrary to the
principles of the United Mine Work
