MINERS HEAD WON'T
ARBITRATE DEMANDS
President of Union Takes De.
fant Stand in AnsUer to
Coal Operators.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE reply Of
President John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers to a conciliatory letter
from Samuel D. Warmer, chairman of
the anthracite operators conference,
dashed all hopes Of an early resump-
ton OF the wage parleys between the
miners and operators.
Mr.. WARMERS letter said that he
was hopeful that means would be
found to compose the difference be-
tween u.s."
In his reply, Mr.. Lewis rejected a
proposal of arbitration from Mr.. War
riner and Indicated that the only hope
for a resumption of the conferences
was for the operators to accede to
the miners demands for wage in
creases and the installation Of the
check-off system.
Regarding arbitration Mr.. Lewis
said that he was suspicious because
OF the operators system of keeping
close to the arbiter," and he cited
the decisions of the arbiters appointed
by President Wilson in 1920. At that
time the miners expected a wage in
crease of q per cent They got II.
I'VE really do not care to arbitrate,"
Mr.. Lewis said. Thanks for the Of
fer. We know that you think the
medicine would be good for us, but
frankly we have little faith in your
diagnosis. 1t will be long before we
recover completely from your previous
arbitration treatment and, until we
do, we will modestly decline to accept
your prescription.
Atlantic City, N. Ut developed
that the policy of the United Mine
Workers of America is to demand that
any government Intervention in the
hard coal industry take into account
the establishment of the Jackson
Vile agreement on soft coal. From
now on, it was said, wage contract
conditions affecting $4,000 hard coal
miners and 100000 soft coal miners
must be considered Jointly by anthra-
cite mediators.

never touch the ground.

that when he was serving his
nation in olive drab in far-off
France. He remembered it re-

saw a party of joy riders. Trail
ing from their car was an
American flag. 1t was being
dragged through the dust ard
dirt and filth of the street.
Robertson's craftsmanship rec
ord in the army is not known,

although he fired but four shots
to stop the desecrators of the

ance was good; the rear tires
of the fleeing automobile were
each neatly bored twice by the
former doughboy's fire.

AT $4,000, 900, 900
Wheat Yield Placed at &c.
OOO,O0O Bushels and Corn
at 1856, 900, 900.

Washington.-Based on current
prices on the farm for wheat and

oOO, the 214OOO,OOO bushels of barley
at $12S,OO0,000. and the $1,000, 900
bushels oil rye at $47,OOO,OOO. This
would make the five grain crops at
close to $4.500,0OO,OOO.

corn, rye, oats, and barley-was s.
2o5,OOOOO0 bushels, or $4,000, 600
