This problem he continued, sis
exceedingly complicated and delicate,
and the government in dealing with
it are constantly paying special at

being taken. Our intention is to put
forth our best efforts so that the

MINERS SEEK LONG,
TERM CONTRACT
Lewis Hints No Wage In
crease to Be Asked-Would
Renew on Present Basis.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOclateu Ffess.
INDIANAPOLIS, January CA
wage agreement for n term of years,
effectuated without strike or sus-
pension of production, would be of
constructive help in restoring sta
bility to the industry and would be
boon to the coal-wearied public,
John l.. Lewis. international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. declared in his report to
the sixth biennial convention today.
The present wage agreement with
the operators expires March 81.
Were such an arrangement posi-
BILE, it would demonstrate to the coal
consuming public that the industry
itself was making a sincere attempt
to place it's house in order" Presi-
dent Lewis declared. Such a policy,
IL carried out, would eliminate the
necessity for coal legislation by the
federal Congress or tho various state
legislatures.
The president scored the United
States Coal Commission, which he
declared had expended some 100000
Of money and lacked the wisdom to
properly portray this situation and
make practical recommendations for
permanent reform within the indus
try"
President Lewis indicated, without
making positive statement, that
he hoped for a renewal of the wage
contract which is in effect now.
There have only been a few resol lu-
tions," he said, demanding an in
crease"
There are several demanding
shorter working hours. but this is an
ideal for which the country is not
ready. 1t was included in the De
mands at the last convention, and Is
eminently desirable, but at this time
impracticable.
There are resolutions from several
states asking that the provision IN
the constitution against membership
in the Ku Klux Khan be withdrawn.
That ban was written in when the
Klan was first organized. 1t provides
expulsion as penalty whenever
Klan membership is proved, but who
can prove 1t? l know some Illinois
miners who are members. and they
are living in fear that I'll fine 1t out
They needn't fear. Who will prove
they are members?
There are also resolutions de-
nouncing the Klan IN strong Ian
guage. All Of them, pro and con, will
be referred to the committee on con-
Stitution.'

To TELL WHERE HE

Alleged S68, 900 Gift to
His Foreman.

Former Secretary Albert l.. Fall
has been subpoenaed by the Senate
public lands committee investigating
the Teapot Dome oil lease TO appear
before it for further examination.
The committee will ask him again
regarding the sources from which he
obtained the 100000 in 1921 to en-
large his ranch holdings in New
Mexico. The former Secretary of the
Interior is now on record before the
committee as asserting that he OBJ
tanned the money from Edward Il.
Mclean, the Washington newspaper
publisher. but the latter has testi-
fed that the checks he gave Mr.. Fall
We're returned uncashed.
When informed that he had been
subpoenaed, Mr.. Fall said that upon
receipt OF official information he
would return to Washington, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch

to tell the committee all know
about the lease" lie said.
Grattan T. Stanford. counsel for
the Sinclair oil interests who hold
the Teapot Dome lease, was sub
poenaed to appear at today's hearing
for questioning about the alleged
payment of s6S,0Q0, which figured in
the sensational testimony given yes
terday.

Mr. Wahlberg later took the stand and

also sought evidence today regarding
the checkbooks and other records Of
the various Sinclair companies.
IT is the present plan of the COM

TEACHER PAY BILLS.
ARE TURNED DOWN.
Budget Bureau InstructS
Commissioners and School
Board to Draft New One.

A new teachers salary bill. substi-
tuting the measures framed sepa-
rately by the board of education and
the District Commissioners will be
drafted by these two bodies.
The budget bureau informed the
Commissioners and the school board
1T a conference today that neither OF
the two measures submitted to it last
week are satisfactory, and ordered
the framing Of Il new bill. which will
follow as closely as possible the Cap
per pay bill which failed of passage
atthe last session of Congress.
James T. Lloyd, president or the
school board, announced after the
conference that the board and the
Commissioners would hold joint
meeting as soon as possible to prepare
the new salary bill.
Although the measure drafted by
the Commissioners carried lower salary
schedules in many instances than the
one prepared by the school board, the
budget bureau pointed out that some
of the salary provisions in 1t would
have to be cut.
A general idea. OF the scale OF SAL
aries which would meet the approval
of the budget bureau was given, and
the Commissioners and the school
board were urged in preparing the
new measure to adhere to it as near
as possible.
The budget officials emphasized that
the discrepancy in the scale of the
sllperintendent's and assistant super
intendent's pay is too great.
Complete harmony marked the con-
ference between the Commissioners
the school board and the budget bu-
reau officials, President Lloyd of the
board stressed after he emerged from
the conclaye..
The delay in getting the teachers
salary legislation before Congress is
viewed with grave concern by those
in close touch with the schools.
How long it will take the board
and the Commissioners to frame a
new salary bill is regarded as
problematical. In school quarters.
however, the hope of getting the
salary legislation introduced in Con-
gress this month is faint.
