new ENGLAND'S HAY
DROP SEEMS LARGER
Latest Estimates Place Average
Yield Higher Than
First Expected.

Wakefield, Mass. Oct IS F-Late
judgments as to total yields OF hay
in New England this year consider
able gains over earlier estimates, the
New England crop reporting service
announced today. The total esti-
mate for New England tame" hay
now stands at $4,000 tons, which
is s per cent higher than last
years crop and II per cent above
the .tire-year average
Estimated New England produc-
ton Of oats is 9,s41,000 bushels as
compared with S,355,Oo last year
and S671,O0 the five-year average.
Corn gained somewhat"in septem-
Der in the northern New England
states but hardly held its own In
southern New England. The ex-
pected production, due to larger
acreage and yield, is Is per cent
above last years crop and the Ave-
year average.
During September potatoes in New
England changed very little and re-
main rs per cent short OF last years
big crop and six per cent below the
lve-year average, Maine has 81
o0S,ooo bushels against 41,176,ooo a
year ago.
New Englands commercial apple
crop is generally rated as good or
better in size, quality and color. The
total crop is reported somewhat less
than last year In most places. Prices
at the larger markets have held at
levels satisfactory to most growers.

equally aroused today7"
Shortly before Mr. WARMERS
address, the chamber OF commerce
had adopted a resolution urging the
Pennsylvania delegation 10 congress
"vigorously TO oppose any legisla-
ton having for it's object govern
ment regulation and price liking in
the anthracite industry and calling
upon Governor Pinchot ITO inform
the public what statutes now stand
In the way OF operation Of the an
thracite mines, and what steps are
being taken to protect the public
interest, should the continued sus-
pension result In the public suffer-
ing"
The preamble to the resolution
declared that "the absolute refusal
Of the United Mine Workers OF
America to permit any arbitration
OF their demands bears evidence OF
a deliberate design to create a con-
ID ton which will invite govern

OPERATORS LFADFp
CRITICIzES Lewis
Labor Chiefs Attacks Liberous
and False, He Declares

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. Is LF - 4
return to It's old labor relationships
Is what the anthracite industry
chiefly needs today in the opinion of
Samuel D. Warriner chairman of
the anthracite operators confer
ence. Mr.. Warmer believes that
arbitration Is the only fair way OF
settling labor disputes.
In an address before the Penn
sylvania state chamber Of com
merce last night, Mr.. Warmer
took exceptions to statements made
by John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, that the coal
operators eXtorted sixteen to twenty
million dollars annually from the
public and that the industry had
'butchered" more than 100000
employees since 1870. Mr.. Lewis
statements were made IN a speech
before the American Federation of
Labor in Atlantic City this week.
Declaring that the Union leaders
remarks were so far removed from
the truth as to approach libel and
actual falsehood," Mr. Warmer
presented figures calculated to re-
flute his assertions. He admitted that
the anthracite industry had stan
dardized it's sizes of coal, but de-
clared that it had obtained no reali-
cation Of profits to the industry as a
whole. He gave figure showing that
the Lehigh coal and navigation COM
pany Of which he is president, had
realized only S5.6S a ton for coal
produced in August this year as
compared with s6.14 a ton for
August, 1924, before the change was
| made.
Mr., Warmer gave some figures as
to miners wages.
OF 1856 contract miners on the
! payroll of his company in 1924, 383
earned over $4,000 in year and 1872
earned over $500 These men
earned daily from s12 to s14. Only
50 of the whole number earned less
than $4,000, and none earned under
$500.
Tho common or most unskilled
adult above ground is paid mini
mum Of SIS cents per hour" he
added. Are the wages adequate?
Match them for yourselves against
earnings OF other workers with
which you ar familiar"
As to Mr.. Lewis statements re-
New Britain herald., 1925-10-16

garding mine accidents, Mr.. War
riner said the statistics OF the state
mine inspection bureau showed that
since 1870 fatal accidents had to-
tailed only 2S,745, and OF the non
fatal accidents during the same
period so per cent we're OF such a
trivial nature as TO necessitate no
material loss OF time.
Suggesting arbitration as the best
means OF bringing about a resump-
ton of operations In the hard coal
field, Mr.. Warmer said:
Since 1902, when John Mitchell,
the most honored president that the
United Mine Workers ever follow
ed, won his fight for the principles
OF arbitration, both the industry and
It's employees have followed 1t in
practice TO their mutual advantage.
II Is difficult to see what advantage
has been derived by the reversal OF
policy by Mr.. Lewis since 1920.
Public opinion in 1902 forced the
anthracite operators to arbitrate the
strike: cannot public opinion be

BRITISH INVESTIGATION
OF COAL QUESTION OPENS
Consumption OF Fuel Has Not In
creased Yet 2,500,o0O More
Hands Required

London, Oct. Is I) - The coal
commission. which Is to investigate
IN all its details the coal mining in
dustry of the country has begun its
sessions. The commission consists
of Sir Herbert Samuel. chairman;
Sir William Beveride, chairman OF
the employment exchanges; Gener-
al Sir II. Lawrence and Kenneth
lee, chairman OF the British cot
ton industry research association.
Representatives OF the miners fed
Grafton and OF the mining associa-
tion are in attendance.
s Sir Herbert Samuel explained that
the commissioners had visited num-
circus collieries to familiarize them
Selves with working conditions and
that they desired the utmost expedi-
ttion In the Investigation in view of
ythe heavy expenditures involved to
taxpayers while the subsidy granted
tthe mine owners in order to main
tain the present wage scale to the
.niners continued.
Z, Ernest Covers, permanent under
jsecretary OF mines, told the commits
Sion that the present demand, and
consequently the present output OF
British coal had descended to the
%level Of 20 years ago, but the In
dustry was employing upwards OF
100000 more persons. The CON
sumption of coal by customers In
Russia, Germany and Austria had
''been reduced by 100000 tons
Mr. Covers asserted that the pre-
war wage standard could only be
maintained by increased output per
y4head by the employees of ma
,lterial increase in the price of coal
Ain relation to necessities.

Denounced by Health
Officer

By International Labor News Service.
Montreal Some of the houses re-
Gently built by the British Empire
Steel Corporation for the use Of coal
miners should be wiped out" Dr. A..
S. Kendall, county health officer, told
the Public Commission now conduct
ing an inquiry into the coal mining
situation in Nova Scotia. Both the
water supply and sewerage system in
the company-owned towns presented
serious problems, the health officer
added.
''rhe death rate in Glace Bay this
year was Ito per 1000 persons, COM
pared with q per 1000 for all Cam
ada" DR.. Sullivan, health officer of
Glace Bay, testified Housing condi-
tions, absence of sewers, and stagnant
waters were factors in this abnor-
mality.
Rev. DR.. MacAvoy declared that liv-
ing conditions in Glace Bay were on
the average the worst he had ever
seen, in considerable experience of
ministerial work in industrial COM
munities. This, he thought, was due
to lack of employment and insufficient
wages for decent living, especially
among the lower-paid men.
Robert Baxter, Past President of
the U. M. W., District No. 26, thought
coal mining costs could be reduced
without cutting wages. Bad relations
| between company and men were fac
tors in increasing costs, he said, add
