Mine Workers Journal Editor
Denounces Propaganda Aimed
10 Put Miners in False Light

He charged further that the anthra-
cite operators are hiding the real ques-
tion at issue behind smoke screen
of attack on the union. Mr.. Searles
declared in the presence of Mr.. Mer-
ritt that he (Merritt) was the bell
wether of the n-busting outfit that
is seeking destruction of the United
Mine Workers, and that the response
bility for the lack of hard coal in New
England was on the anthracite oper-
ators who had arbitrarily refused to
meet the miners in conference un-
less they agreed to arbitrate-a pro-
cess that would allow an outsider to
definitely fix compensation for the
miner who risks his life every day in
the discharge of his duty as work
man.
Attorney Merritt denied that the
operators were receiving large profits
for their coal, although he could not
answer the question put from the
audience, as to who gets the SO to SIP
difference between the labor cost of
mining ton of coal and it's ultimate
selling price. Merritt also declared
that the anthracite operators "were
doing the public a favor" when they
resized anthracite coal and defended
the practice which permits charge
for smaller and less desirable sizes
of coal that was formerly obtained
for the better sizes.

by several hundred persons including

ITALY'S WAR DEBT
CUT BY UNCLE SAM

Washington.-Th United States
government did not cancel the Ital-
ian war debt, but 80 per cent of it
was marked off in the negotiations be-
tween war debt commissions of both
countries.
The agreement provides that Italy
will pay to the United States a prin-
cipal amount of $2,042, 100000 over a
period Of 50 years, with interest aver
aging about nine-tenths of l per cent
during the last 81 yaers. This total
amount will be $2,407, 100000.
1t is believed that these terms will
result in France again resuming ne
gotiations as. result of the Italian
settlement. Frances war debt COM
mission failed to reach settlement
at recent conferences held in Wash
ington.
