HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec, 2.-The

Pinchot in the wage controversy prac-

Affront to Coolidge.
Because of the delicacy of the
situation comment is withheld here
among official circles, but the admin
istration is distinctly displeased over
the action of the Chilean government.
1t is direct affront to Coolidge as
1t exposes his game in Chile and
Peru. American imperialist adven-
turers, operating in Central America,
connived to induce the governments
of Chile and Peru to request a plebis-
city under the neutral" protection of
the United States. This request was
answered by sending the staggering
war monger, Pershing, down there to
keep things in such state of uncer-
tainty that the resultant disorder
could be utilized for American invas-
ion.
Naturally Coolidge and his govern
ment cannot but resent the fact that
their schemes are known and are
being exposed.
Whether the league of nations will
take action is problematical, as 1t
would mean = direct clash with the
present United States government in
depreciation of the Monroe doctrine.

Lewis PLEADS
FOR PUBLIC TO
FIGHT BATTLE
Never Fights Bosses;
Only Miners
tspeeial . The paIIx worksrl

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 2. =
John L. Lewis reply to the operators
rejection Of the proposal Of Governor
Pinchot for an arbitration committee
in the anthracite strike is of an
evasive nature that jeopardlzes the
very existence Of the Miners Union.
In the face OF the threat Of William
w. lneIiss, chairman of the anthracite
operators negotiating committee, that
the fight would last year If neees-
sary in order to defeat the demands
of the miners, Lewis refralns from
any act that would strengthen the
power Of the union in its struggle for
existence.
1t is now becoming clear that the
one impelling motive of the mine
barons is to destroy the union in this
strike. The statement embodying the
refusal Of Pinchot's offer makes that
aim quite clear Pinchot's proposal
was one that granted the operators
everything they wanted except that
they would have to recognize the
existence Of the union. This they re-
fuse to do and have thrown down the
challenge to Lewis and his machine.
Lewis cringes.
Instead Of replying to the threats of
the operators by mobilizing the miners
in the soft coal fields, instead Of call
ing out the maintenance men in the
anthracite mines who are working on
improvements so that the mines will
be in better shape than ever when
coal mining resumed. Lewis makes
an inspired Nea Tor the outraged
public"
Instead of urging organized labor to
fight the battles against the anthracite
Lewis hides his cowardice and treach-
cry behind the plea that this public
make its desires known in order to
change "the arrogant attitude of the
operators"
Knowing perfectly well that the
public never makes it's desires known
on anything for the reason that it is
not a unit but composed of all classes
in society, Lewis can safely hide be-
hind such brainless formula.
SorelyY Disappointed.
Lewis is said to be sorely disap-
pointed at the failure to conclude the
trike on the basis of the Pinchot pro-
posals. Unquestionably that is his de.
sire as it would then assure him
soft berth as lieutenant of the cap
italist class while the miners con-
tinued to slave under the miserable |
conditions they endured before the
strike.
ProgressIves Active.
In spite of the terror against them |

and the Lewis gangsters under the |
Of Rinaldo Cappellini, presi- |
dent of one of the districts here, the |
miners are waging
in the anthracite to rescue /
the strike from the certain defeat into \
which II viii sink if Lewis and his
hesitating, treacherous
policy triumphs among the rank and 4
file.
Just awakening to the serious situa-
ton confronting them the miners in
the anthracite becoming restless
and deep distrust of the officials
permeates theirlranks as they realize
the truthfulness of the charges of the
and Communists that
Lewis is endeavoring to use the
strike so that he may remain the
agent of the mine owners.
The miners are coming to realize
that Lewis never fights for them
against the mine barons, but only
against them whenever they strive to
defeat the mine owners.

JUSTICE SMITH FINES
WOMAN DRIVER TWICE

Justice of the Peace Elmer W.
Smith, of Lambertville, has handed
down his decision in the accident
case preferred against Miss Annie
Gandey by J. Szutarski, in which it
is claimed that the latter's automo-
bile was badly damaged.
Justice Smith imposed a fine of
$25 and costs on the charge of
reckless driving, making total
charge of $30.55, and S25 fine and
$5.35 costs or $30.35 on the charge
of failure to show driving license
on demand after the accident. 1t
is understood that Councillor Walter
F. Hayhurst, who is attorney for
Miss Gandey, will appeal the case to
the Hunterdon County courts.
1t was charged that the Gandey
car hit the Szuarski car while it
was standing in front of Botti's
store, on North Union street, and
showed it as far as the freplug near
the corner, twisting the frame,
bending the fender, breaking spring
and blowing out a tire.
The whole matter may be later
on aired before the county courts.

BRIDGE SELLING
UP TOMORROW

The stockholders of the Centre
Bridge company will meet at their
office in Stockton on Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock, to consider the
proposition from the State of New
Jersey for the purchase of the pres
ent piers, franchise, real estate, etc.
The offer is $4,000, which it has
been understood the bridge COM
pany was willing to accept. The
call for the meeting has been issued
by the secretary, Cyrus j. Bissey, of
Rosemont.
The wooden bridge spanning the
Delaware between Stockton and
Center Bridge was burned, after
being struck by lightning two years
ago, and has never been rebuilt, as
the company did not have the nee
essary funds.
1t is estimated that the new bridge
will cost approximately 100000,
and bids will be asked for, it is
expected, soon after the purchase
deal is closed.
Should the bridge company de-
eide not to accept the states Of
fer, the matter will doubtless drop
and plans for bridge at this
point be abandoned, which would
be severe blow to the two towns
on opposite sides of the Delaware.
