the call of the secretary at the re-
quest of either side"
Mr.. WARMERS recorded statement,
addressed to the union leaders In the
joint committee. said In part:
You make as a condition of fur
ther negotiation the acceptance by
the operators of your first demand
complete recognition of the United
Mine Workers of America, which YOU
very frankly tell us implies the closed
shop and the check-off.
Demand Is Old One.
The demand for a closed shop has
twice been a subject of arbitration
between us-first before the Roose-
Welt commission in 1902 and second
before the Wilson commission In 1920.
Both of these commissions refused
your demand in no uncertain terms
and decided unequivocally for the
open shop. You seem to ignore en-
tirely the admonition of the Roose-
welt commission that the trade union
and, like any other organization, is
subordinate TO the laws of the land
and cannot make rules or regulations
in contravention thereof. Yet. at
separate and distinct governing
agency and to control those who have
refused to join it's ranks and to con-
sent to- its government, and to deny
to them the personal liberties which
are guaranteed to every c;tizen by
the Constitution and the laws OF the
land"
Mr.. Warmer declared nothing
could more clearly express our view
than this quotation. We are opposed
to any contract which requires man
TO surrender rights guaranteed to
every citizen under the laws of the
land and the demand is therefore re-
fused"
Says Earnings High.
The miners demands, he said, were
repetition Of those submitted to the
Wilson commission. He declared the
industry was operating under a scale
of wages representing the very peak
thracite employees today were far
above the increased cost of living as
compared with the pre-war period"
the The recent % report of the United
these statements, he said, continuing:
In the light Of these conditions we
are prepared to execute a contract
renewing the present wage scale to
April l, 1925. We will eliminate the
twelve-hour day where it is in effect,
speed up the work of the board of
conciliation and endeavor to embody
In the contract clauses covering those
minor matters which we have ex-
pressed willingness to consider
during the present negotiations"
The operators prepared statement
evidently took the miners by surprise
Mr.. Lewis, replying eXtemporaneous-
ly, charged it obviously was pre-
pared for the press, for public con-
sumption" that 1t was manifest the
operators obtained truce for this pur-
pose "and not with the intention Of
giving further consideration to the mat
terS before the conference"
He declared the quotation from the
Roosevelt commissions award was
utterly unfair and unjust" saying
the union was "a legal and an Ameri-
can organization, recognizing the
majesty of the law and the sovereign
ty of our republic. and there is no
conflict in principle or in fact between
any of our demands and the laws Of
our country or the public welfare.

The only hope of DR.. Rumeley and

lawyers obtained their release for
which they had been at liberty since

that an appeal would be taken.
The specific offense of which DIR.
Rumeley was convicted, was max ing

the lawyers were accused of preparing
the report for him and thus consp.r-
ing with him to defraud the govern
ment.
The Mail was purchased by Dr.
Rumeley in 1915, from the S. s. Nc
Clure Newspaper Corporation. At
the trial the government introduced
evidence to show that he bought with
money of the imperial German gov
ernment. furnished him by DR.. Helm
lich Albert, who was the German
fiscal agent in this country during
the war. The sum DR.. Albert put into
the newspaper was given as s1,457,-

Today's decision of the circuit
court of appeals was brief, conclud-
ing with the following paragraph:
We find no sufficient reasons which
would justify this court In setting

evacuation shall be carried out only
proportionately as Germany actually
pays
Disagree on Commission.
Great Britain proposes that the
reparations commission shall appoint
an impartial commission of experts
with an American chairman to re-
examine Germany's capacity and
means of payment. France and Bel
gium accept the idea of such a COM
mission. but only IL 1t Is clearly un-
derstood that the commission shall
not be allowed to discuss the total
German debt. as already definitely
hxed by solemn treaty and agree
ment. In other words, France and
anime not how much, but how Ger
many should pay.
Great Britain proposes a new allied
conference to modify the scale Of
payments set in 1921. France re-
fuses to envisage a modification of
this scale except as the reparation
commission may demand. Belgium
apparently is ready to consider a
modification. provided Belgiums min
imum claim of 5000, 100000 gold
marks is safeguarded.
Great Britain proposes to postpone
the allied debt settlement perhaps
fifteen years. France and Belgium
are ready to accept postponement, not
only on tn debt settlement. but also
on the &C. bond settlement, leaving
the German reparations debt at
$4,000, 100000 gold marks of which
France claims $4,000. 100000 and Bel
gium, 100000, 900.
Great Britain offers, in the case of
an agreement, to consider benevolently
any French or Belgian security pro-
posals. France and Belgium profess
to see no direct relation between
reparations and security problems and
refuse to allow them thus to be linked
together.

Great Britain will be conciliatory

tiations-

LONDON, July 2S.-The opinion that
Great Britain eventually will be
obliged to send its own reply to Ger
many without cooperation from
France and Belgium is strengthened
by the latest reports from Paris.
Some observers. however hope that
the attitude Of Belgium. the aim of
which is described by the diplomatic
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
as an attempt ito bridge the gulf
between the British and French
standpoints," may keep the allies to-
gether to maintain a united front to-
ward Germany.
1t is reported here that there Is con-
siderable divergence in the French
and Belgian views. and that for one
thing particularly Belgium looks with
less favor than France upon the
putatiye British proposal of the ap-
pointment of an international COM
mission to investigate Germany's
ability to pay.
The Belgian reply to great Britain
is expected to be delayed a day or
two longer than the French, which, it
is anticipated, will be delivered In

Chairman Hammond has indicated
that should the collapse of the At

any possibility of a strike in the

it's views forcibly to the attention
of operators and miners. Whether
such a step was under discussion at
today's meeting was not revealed.
Should any move toward a resump-

that the action would not be an
