WORK WON'T QUIT,
HE AYERS FLATLY
Has No Intention of Resign
ing--Is in Line as Success
Sor to Weeks.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Hubert Work
Secretary of the Interior. has no in
tention whatever of resigning.
His fiat denial of rumors of his
imminent retirement from the cabi-
net came as he passed through Chi
cago Ell route to Washington after a
five-week tour of Government recla-
nation projects in the Northwest.
'Everytime you hear a report like
that" he told newspaper men, Just
write a denial and publish it the
next day. I have no intention what
ever of resigning."
Secretary Work, who has set at
rest definitely widely published rumors
that he was about to resign, has had
some alluring offers for his services
from private concerns, but it has
been well understood here for some
time that he had decided to accept
none of them.
When those who were seeking to
induce him to retire from the Gov
ernment service became insistent
some months ago. President Coolidge
so unreservedly expressed his conf
dence in the Secretary and so
strongly urged him to remain in the
cabinet that Mr.. Work agreed to
do so.
Having demonstrated his admin
istrative ability as the head. success
lively of the Post Office and Interior
Departments, he is regarded by Mr..
Coolidge as a man of unusual fitness
for high public office. For that rea-
son 1t is believed that should a
vacancy occur in the secretaryship
of War, Mr.. Work would be we'll in
the forefront of those considered as
a successor to Secretary Weeks. The
latter now is recovering from seri-
Gus illness and is expected to return
to Washington this Fall, but it would
cause no surprise among his friends
here if he should decide later to give
up the strenuous duties of War Sec
retary.
Not only because of his executive
experience. but through service as a
reserve officer during the World
War Mr.. Work has acquired men,
tai equipment which the President
is known to believe would eminently
fit him for the War secretaryship.

RIOTS TO BE DEPORTED
Court Refuses to Convict Dosser,
But Recommends Expelling
From China.
By the Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, JulKS17.-The British
assessor, G. Z. Whitamore, and Magis-
trate Zua, sitting in the mixed court
today, dismissed the charges of being
identified with the recent riots against
Zinovis Dosser, Russian, but ruled he
was IAN extremely undesirable resi-
dent of the settlement, and he will
therefore be handed over to the Chi
nese authorities with the request that
he be deported.'
The court decided that the docu-
ment found in Dosser's possession
identifying him with the riots was
genuine, but his activities did not
warrant his conviction.
TIE arrest of DoSSer was followed
by a protest from the Soviet govern
r1ent to the British and Chinese gov
ernments, in which demand was
made for the punishment of those re
sponsible for the arrest.

DEMAND SALARIES BE TOLD.
Miners Declare "High-Priced Law

ATLANTIC CITY. y. j.. July IT
P).-Anthracite miners today de-
manded that operators reveal salaries
they paid to presidents, directors and
high priced lawyers" for considera-
ton in determining labor costs in
anthracite production. The mine own
ers refused on the ground that such
information was irrelevant.
The scale conference adjourned until
Tuesday afternoon.
In describing the demand a miners
spokesman said: $50 far we have been
unable to get a statement from the
operators on the labor cost of mining
anthracite coal. In order to ascertain
all the facts that enter into this
charge, we requested the operators to-
day to submit to the subcommittee the
salaries of presidents of coal COM
panies, of members of boards of di-
rectors and the huge sum paid to
high-priced attorneys. We believe
that the total represents a substantial
item in the cost of labor in the hard
coal business.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July If
The Government will take a hand in
the anthracite coal field wage negotia-
tions should an agreement not be
reached and a strike called on Sep
tember 1.
The program which the Government
will pursue in the event of a strike
was discussed at a three-hour confer
ance here today by President Coolidge
and Secretary Davis.
The specific plan of the Government
was not disclosed. Secretary Davis
ventured no opinion as to the outcome
of the wage negotiations now under
way. He pointed out, however, that
the Department of Labor, through
two mediators, was keeping in close
touch with the discussion of the op-
orators and the miners and was hop
ing that Fan agreement would be
reached before the present wage con-
tracts expire on August 81,
Will Return August 25.
Secretary Davis came to the
White Court to discuss several de-
partmental matters before sailing to-
morrow for England, but the coal
situation received particular empha-
sis during his conference with the
Executive. There was no hint by
the President of the plan of pro-
cedure by the Government in case
strike is called. Mr.. Davis will
however, return to this country on
August 25, a week before the eXpira-
ton of the present wage agreement
in the anthracite field.

poets to study industrial conditions,

GLASS-CASED FOOD
PLAN IS PROTESTED
Is Impractical and UnneCes-
sary, District Commission
erS Are Told.

Market dealers, storekeepers, whole
sale merchants and baking companies
united today in appealing to the Com
miSsioners not to adopt the revised
regulations recommended by Health
officer Fowler, which would require
that many commodities be kept in
glass cases.
All of the speakers expressed the
belief that conditions in Washington
do not justify the proposed require
ments. and contended the Health De-
partment inspectors have ample au-
thority to take action in individual
cases where they find any unwhole-
some commodity.
Edwin c. Brandenburg, speaking
for baking companies, declared there
was no necessity for the glasS-caSe re-
quirement, and added it as his belief
that the question would not have been
raised had it not been for the recent
report of the Department of Agricul-
ture concerning methods of handling
foodstuffs here and in other cities.
Mr.. Brandenburg characterized the
report of the Agriculture Department
as "unjustified and uncalled for" and
said 1t was a mistake for the Health
Department to get stage fright as
result of the Agriculture Depart
ment incident.
Engineer Commissioner Bell inter
rupted to point out that DR.. Fowler
had recommended the revised regu-
lation because of a recent court de-
cision in a Health Department case.
DIR. Fowler explained that the regu-
lation for the protection of foodstuffs
from flies. dust and other contamina-
ton begins by referring to ''unin-
closed" places.
Several of the attorneys present sug-
gested to the Commissioners that the
object sought by DIR. Fowler, namely,
to make the existing regulation apply
with equal force to all places, could
be covered by eliminating or adding
to the word "uninclosed."

Percival Marshall, attorney for the

citation, told the Commissioners the
glass case requirement would be un-
necessary and unreasonable for the
dealers along Louisiana avenue. He
declared il would be impossible. even
with glass cases, to comply with the
proposal of the Health Department
that meats be kept at a temperature
of 55 dgreeS in Summer. He ex-
planned that the bulk of the market
business is transacted between and
II o'clock in the morning and that
during that time the meats are dis
posed of so rapidly that there is no
danger in keeping meats on the block
while they are being cut and sold.
He pointed out that during this busy
period of the morning, If the dealers
were required to have glass cases,
they would be constantly putting the
meats in and taking them out. MAX
ing it impossible to maintain the re-
Quired temperature.

Louisiana avenue could not possibly

of goods which must be displayed to
buyers were required to be in cases.

reasonably burdensome, and then pre-

Attorney Marshall sought to i'm

must protect their commodities if they
wish to retain their patronage.
