LABOR CONFERENCE
SET FOR SEPT. g
Coal Strike, Building and
Railroad Problems to
Be Considered.

NEW YORK, September prom
labor will meet in New York on Sep
tember 20 to consider important in
dustrial problems. especially the pres
ent anthracite coal strike, 1t was an
nounced today. The meeting is to
be held by the department on indus
trial relations of the National Civic
Federation. of which V. Everit Macy
is chairman.
Problems of the railroads and of
the building trades were indicated as
other subjects for discussion.
Arbitration Opposed.
Asserting that the question of COM
pulsory arbitration for the settlement
of labor troubles is of great inn
portance at present, the federation,
in it's announcement. of the meeting,
said:
1--WE see clearly the utter fallacy
of the claim that arbitration will solve
all our industrial disputes and that
he who refuses to arbitrate confeSSeS
himself in the wrong"
The current anthracite coal strike,
the trouble between the plasterers and
bricklayers in the building trades and
other examples are cited by the fed
Grafton in support of it's statement
that arbitration will not solve all in
dustrial disputes. The federation pre-
dicted that Congress at its next seS-
sion would take vigorous action with
a vit~@ to putting an end to the
periodical occurrences of these out
breaks in the coal industry.
Railroads Problems.
THE railroad world is confronted
with some of the same problems
which concern the coal industry said
the statement. ''One outstanding
question there is. Shall the United
States Railroad Labor Board be abol-
ished. and, if so, what shall take its
place.
Members of the industrial rela-
tions department of the federation in

dent of the United States Chamber OF

DENY DRY LAW AGITATION
IN FIGHTING BLINDNESS
Leaders of Association Brand as
False Report of Hostility to
Anti-Saloon League.

The National Association for the
Prevention of Blindness, New YORK
CITY, today made vigorous denial that
II had ever taken or contemplated
taking any part in any campaign for
or against the prohibition law.
The denial was made, according to
a letter from Lewis II. Carris, man
aging director of the association, be
cause Of a dispatch from Detroit quot
ing II. d. Wardell to the effect that
a campaign is to be launched this
Fall by the National Committee to
Prevent Blindness" to legislate the
Anti-Saloon League out of business.
If there is such a committee, Mr.
Carris said, it has no connection with
the National Association for the Pre-
vention of Blindness.
Our organization said Mr.. Lewis,
has on several occasions during the
10 wears. of its existence referred to
the detrimental effect of wood alcohol
on the eyes. but it has always scru-
pulously avoided in any way linking
itself with the prohibition con-
troversy."

PHILADELPHIA. September o.
The end of, the first week of the
anthracite mining suspension found
the situation the same as when ii be-
gan-100 per cent total shutdown and
no indication when work will be re-
Sumed.
No move has been made. so far as
can be learned from any source. for a
resumption of wage negotiations
broken off in Atlantic City a month
ago. The last effort made to keep the
mines in operation was that of the
committee of business men Of the
hard coal fields. who appealed to both
sides before the suspension began to
resume negotiations and keep the
mines in operation. This committee
has disbanded.
$4,000, 900 Lost i'm Wages.
Based on available figures, it was
estimated that the 15S, 900 workers lost
approximately $5,000.000 in wages by
the weeks idleness, and that the hard
coal production has been curtailed
about 100000 tons. The miners
worked steadily through the Summer,
and the amount of prepared domestic
coal above ground is about the same
as in normal years at the beginning
of September. No shortage of fuel has
been reported from any section. but
it is expected with the coming of
cooler weather there will be an in
crease in demand which will lower
stock rapidly.
Pinchot Inactive.
Observers are generally agreed that
no resumption of negotiations for a
new wage contract can be looked for
until pressure is brought to bear
from some source outside the circuit
Of miners and operators. Gov. Pinchot
has been looked TO in some quarters
10 intervene, but those close to him
have indicated he will not interfere at
present unless urged by the two par
ties or some other interest.
The anthracite fields have been ex-
tremely quiet. Minor differences that
arose over the employment of main
tenance men to preserve property have
been adjusted with little or no friction
Most of the coal stored at collieries
has been shipped to market. and coal
train crews are being laid off as they
finish this work. There are no pickets
about the mines, as no attempt is be
ing made by any company to operate

Big HauIS in City.

Dry raiders of Capt. Burlingame's
flying squadron yesterday broke up
what they believe was one of the
main connecting links between whole
sale and retail traffic in corn liquor
in Washington by raiding stable
in the rear of 927 Twenty-seventh
street, where they confiscated 800 gal
Ions of corn liquor.
The stable-warehouse was filled with
crates of pint and half-pint bottles
and the liquor was in the large car
tons and halfgallon fruit jars which
are used in transporting the contra
band from stills to the city.
This was the outstanding operation
of d series of six engineered by Capt.
Burlingame and Prohibition Agents
hartman and Cornett here yesterday.
Chase Leads TO Stable.
The discovery of the warehouse was
made during the chase of an automo-
bile which four colored men aban-
doned outside the stable and escaped
by racing through it and back yards
in the neighborhood. The raiders
lost the prisoners, but ran right into
the warehouse in search for them.
Then warrant was obtained to legaliZe

prietor of the plant under arrest soon.

Man Breaks Jars.
Max Smith, 26 years old. colored. of
1882 LingerS Court, outwitted the flV-
ing squadron near Twenty-fourth and
] streets, when he broke two half
gallon jars filled with liquid in the
street. They arrested him on the
charge of breaking glass in the street.
Ruth Phoenix, "a. colored. of 2406 |
street. and Claud Brooks, colored. of
2614 street, were not so lucky. After
the flying squadron approached them
in front of Ruth's home the woman
broke two half-gallon jars in the
street, but the raider quickly sopped
up about a gill of the liquid for
analysis, and placed charges of trans
porting and Illegal possession of liquor
