operators declined.
In naming the Interstate Com
merce Commission as an eligible in
vestigating body, the miners were
merely anticipating an investigation
that body had already made. accord
ing to the operators, who counseled
that action be deferred until the re-
port of the commissions hearing was
made public.
Both miners and operators appar-
emily came the closest yet to an i'm
passe on the wage increase question.
The miners started in early by press
ing the mine owners for a definite re-
ply to demand No. 2. which calls for
10 per cent boost in the contract
wage scale, an additional 81 day
for all day men and other fiscal gains.
The operators avoided specifically
saying NO" However. they "reit-
Grated" the position they had taken
from the outset of the present scale
negotiations-labor cost must go
down. not up. In so far as any change
in this position was concerned, 1t was
said, this answer was final.

sence of President John L. Lewis,
proposed the public probe to deter

amounted to In the selling cost of
anthracite.
Mr.. Murray asseI ed that dealers
in Philadelphia, for example, were
charging the consumer s15 ton for
coal that was priced at So at the
mine. He charged that this spread"
of 81, amounting to almost 80 per
cent, was obviously not due to dig
ging.
He urged that the operators join
with the miners in asking the Inter
state Commerce Commission to go
into this question with coal COM
panies, distributing companies and
railroads.
Chairman w. w. 1nglis. for the
operators, pointed out that the report
of the United States Coal Commits
sion of 1923 urged just such an in
vestigation and that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had about
completed the work. Furthermore,
royalties and some other features
might not fall within the jurisdic-
ton of the commission anyway.
To this Mr.. Murray replied that the
joint resolution could be worded to
cover any qualified public body. The
main thing. he said, was that some
such investigation be started.

first representatives of outside
Klaverns of the Ku Klux Khan ar
irving for the funeral tomorrow of
S. Glenn Young. Williamson county
two-gun raider, the coroner's jury
today resumed its probe Of the gun
fight Saturday night when four
men were killed.
The principal witness today was
Lige Green, former Union official,
with whom Young was quarreling
when Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas
appeared on the scene. Witnesses
yesterday asserted that Thomas en-
tered the place with half drawn gun
and fired the first shot in the battle
fatal to four men. Green's story
was to be, in effect, that Young
held him with drawn pistols while
he pleaded with Thomas not to
draw his weapon and that Young
fired first when he finally was
pushed aside.
James Sratcher and John C.
Glenn also were on hand to verify
GREEN'S story and to deny intima-
tons made Yesterday that they
were responsible for shots which
came from their direction.
Much may be learned from the
testimony of Mrs. Angelo Biotti,
who was in charge of her hus-
bands store on the night of the
tragedy and who was present when
Young and his followers first came
In the place.
Plans for the most gigantic Khan
funeral ever held in the State, when
Young will be buried, have been
