Coolidge Is To Ride On
General To Keep
In PHYSICAL Trim

Unlike his immediate prede-
cessors, Presidents Harding and
Wilson, who played golf for
recreation, President Coolidge
is going to turn to horseback
riding as his chief means to
keep in trim physically for his
strenuous duties in the White
House.
This was made clear today
and : incidentally cleared up
the question which has been
puzzling Washington about the
favorite form Of exercise which
Mr., Coolidge would follow.
During his customary early
morning walk, the President
paid a Visit to the White
House stables. He was particu-
larry Impressed by General"
a large bay gelding, and one of
the finest saddle horses in the
stables. 1t is expected that
General will be chosen as his
favorite mount.

this morning. The visiting Klans.
men stated that they came here to

Finding everything quiet. they re.
turned to East Liverpool before

The battle began when the Khan

machines suffered injuries inflicted
by fists, sticks and stones.
Their cars were wrecked. Police

in twenty-five automobiles. Their
cars were decorated with electrically
Illuminated crosses, and were decor

and khan insignia. The procession
was headed by a band. The pro-

Of
STRIKE
OVER
Conference Between Miners
and Operators Must Yet Dis
cuss Wages and Hours.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16:--Peace
appeared to Be certainty today
when the conference called by the
United States Coal Commission
TO avert the threatened strike of
anthracite miners was resumed.
'..The way to resumption OF
negotiations with the operators
has been opened" it was an
nounced by the miners repre-
sentatives, headed by President
John L. Lewis.
The miners committee referred
to the action of the committee
Of operators, headed by Samuel
D. Warmer, in accepting the
miners proposal with reference
to the "check-off" system, which
is regarded as the crux of the
entire situation.
Check Off Demand Dropped.
The miners, at their conference
with the commission yesterday, had
agreed to drop their demand for the
"check-off' If the operators agreed
to discontinue checking off for
twenty-nine items they now charge
against the miners wages.
Union officials. including Lewis,
gave the impression they regarded
the operators acceptance Of their

So peaceful did the miners of.
ficials regard the situation this
morning that they announced they
expected to be on their way to At.
lantic City tonight to resume ne.
gotiations with the operators for a
new contract, effective September 1 j,
which were broken off recently be-
cause OF differences over the CHECK
off, issue.
At 1920 this morning, the opera
tors committee, led by Warmer,
went into conference with the COM
mission. Later, the miners were to
appear before the commission.
1t did not appear likely that the
commission would call a joint con.
ference as had previously been
planned. The commission was un-
derstood to feel assured that the
the desired result of bringing the
contending sides together.
Issues to Be Discussed.
Questions remaining to be
threshed out at the resumption of
the conference at Atlantic City are
the miners demand for a wage in.
crease and the establishment Of the
eight-hour day in the coal mines.
The operators, silent on the wage
question, announced the twelve.
hour day will be eliminated as
quickly as possible. This question
however, hinges on the nine-hour
day, which is the present shift for
many coal workers. The operators
representatives avoided mention
Of 1t.
Thomas Kennedy, a district pres,-
dent Of the United Mine Workers,
and one of the miners representa-
tives, declared the Commission in a
previous report had recommended a
wage increase for the miners, with
out, however, specifying any set
figure.
Kennedy expressed confidence the
wage question could be satisfactorily
settled when the conference with
the operators is resumed.
While all factions were guarded
today in their comments, an air
of hopefulness was apparent. The
feeling, unofficially expressed, was
that there would he no strike in the
anthracite fields this year.
The operators came out of the
conference with the commission at

The house has passed the

will happen in the Senate we do
not know. There is a great
amount of opposition to an in

opposition is due to the fact that
me federal income tax law is so
irksomely administered. The
thought Of q State income tax is

on Ceorgians, in addition to the

with very good grace.
Even if the bill energies from
Che Senate in the same shape it
entered it, we doubt if the peo-
pie of the State viii ratify any
such legislation at the polls. The
taxpayers have been put to heavy
expense for the extraordinary
session Of the Legislature, which
was unnecessary. There are
plenty Of tax laws on the status
