CONSPIRACY TO CUT.
MINE PAY CHARGED
Railways and Owners Seek
to Crush Wage Agreement,
Union Head Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
POMEROY, Ohio, June 11.-Ad
dressing a gathering of Hooking
Valley miners last night, John l..
Lewis. president of the United tIine
Workers, asserted that a conspiracy
existed between union coal oper-
ators and the major consuming fac
tors, including the railroads. to
crush the Jacksonville wage agree
ment and force a general wage re-
duction.
Mr.. Lewis assailed the operation
of mines under the 1917 wage scale,
declaring that acceptance of lower
wages would pave the way for the
abolition of the miners union in
the United States.
The mine union president and
other officials came here from Ath-
ems, where he addressed a meeting
yesterday afternoon. In that ad-
dress Mr.. Lewis said the miners
union would insist that the terms
of the Jacksonville agreement be
carried out.

the Traffic Bureau is making a sincere
effort at that corner to give the pedes-

themselves TO make the system work :"
Col. Moller added.
AS announced yesterday, vehicles

Inspector Brown said today that the

definitely whether they will abolish
the left-hand turn during rush hours

her husband and father and evicted
by a constable from her only home,
Mrs. Anne Cooper, 10. gave birth 10
child yesterday as she lay on the
roadside in the village of Phoenix,
southwest of Chicago.
The baby died a few hours later in
an infirmary, where it and the mother
were taken in a hearse because no

posure and premature birth induced
by the sight of a pistol in the hands
of the constable.

The mother Is in a serious condition.
Mrs. Cooper is one of II children.
Since her father deserted them three
years ago, her mother, Mrs. John Max
and the elder children earned a pit
tance by working for farmers. They
fell behind in their rent. Then Mrs.

Under the treaty a per cent ad va

tablishment of customs autonomy
would mean abrocation of the old con-
ventional tariff treaties, under which
a 5 per cent tariff was collected, but
which was based on the valuation

If customs autonomy is proposed

We're reported today as the worst in

other lost his life in a blaze on Van

pouring gasoline on the embers of a
burned house and shouting: Let S
have big fire" Both had been fight
ing fire which burned over their home
steads, near Newton Surrey, for 36
hours and were seriously burned.
They were removed to a hospital.
District Forester st. Clair OF Van
couver. said last night that never in
my seven years in British Columbia
have ] seen the fires as bad as they
are now. Some have grown TO such
proportions that we can protect only
the more valuable water sheds and
valuable timber. We are hoping for

A fire near Rossland, B. c., travelled

Two huge blazes are burning toward

TO REGAIN DAUGHTER

From Mother, His Divorced Wife.
When She Was Arrested.

reporter Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, today applied to the

daughter. Pearl A. Seeley, years old j,
who is in the custody of the Board of
Children's Guardians. Chief Justice
Mccoy directed that the child be
brought into court Monday, when he
will determine the question of custody
Seeley explains that his divorced
wife, now Mrs. Fay Behrends, took
possession of the child, and that when
the girl was in her custody June 80
police arrested Mrs. Behrends on a
charge of blackmail. When the mother
was taken to the House of Detention,
the child went with her and was
given into the custody Of the board.
Mrs. Behrends has since been indicted
on charge Of aiding another woman
by abduction.
The father tells the court that he
has been unable to see the child since
1t was placed with the board, and that
unless the court interferes she will
be disposed of in Juvenile Court, be-
ing either formally consigned to the
board or returned to Mrs. Behrends.
He is represented by Attorney VIII
liam n. Nicholson, and assures the
court he is willing and able to sup
port his daughter.
Another claimant for custody of
the child appeared today in the per-
son Of her grandmother, Mrs. Jessie
Beard of 3471 Fourteenth street, who
asked the District Supreme Court
to appoint her as guardian. Through
Attorney John J. McGinnis, she
claims she has cared for the child
since 1t was II months old and has
never been compensated for that care.
She also seeks an injunction
against the Board of Children's
Guardians and Mrs. Behrends. to pre-
vent removal of the child from the
District pending action of the court
on her petition.

ITALY'S FUTURE BRIGHT.
Papers Pleased With Reports of
U. S. Confidence in Finance.

ROME. August IL UP).-The semi
official comments in connection with
the return to Italy of Giacomo de
Martino, the Italian Ambassador to
Washington, dwelling on the possi-
bility of the active participation of
American finance in Italian industries
and public works, are arousing great
satisfaction here. All the newspapers
conclude from these comments, which
attributed reassuring expressions to
members of the American cabinet,
that the United States is confident of
Italv's economic and financial future.
IL Tevere, which supports the Fascist
government. says that this shows that
opposition reports of lack of con-
fidence abroad in Italy's stability are
without foundation.
