|. c. c. REPORT HIT
BY JOHN |. LEWIS
Mine Union Head Holds Ex.
aminer Criticized Wage
Scale of Two States.

John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers of America IN
a letter to the Interstate Commerce
Commission assailed the recent report
of a commission examiner recommend
ing dental of a petition of Illinois and
Indiana coal shippers for a readjust-
ment of freight rates from those states
tn the Chicago market as an amazing
and gratuitous attack upon. the wage
schedules and living standards OF the
mine workers employed In the lndus-
try" in Illinois and Indiana, and urged
a. reversal Of the findings or the
examiner.
Coal operators in Indiana are seek
Ing a rate reduction of 80 cents ton
and widening Of the spread between
the Indiana rates and those from the
non.union West Virginia and Ken
lucky mines. Examiner Disque heid
that present rates were not unfair ana
described the miners wage scales In
the complainant States as 80 much
higher than those in non-union fields
in other States that the operators
ARE having great difficulty In meeting
their competitors prices.
II have never understood It to be
any part of the functions of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, Mr..
Lewis letter said, Ito attempt to bat
ter down the wages of those who labor;
neither have | understood 1t to be the
function of the commission to permit
its decisions and rules on the rate
questions to he made the vehicle by
either party to an industrial wage
controversy as has been done in this
precise instance"
The mine union head pointed out
that existing rates were those fixed by
the United States Bituminous Coal
Gonna sion in 1920 and asserted 1t was
extraordinary indeed that an official
representative of the Interstate Com
merce Commission would now. as In
this instance, openly denounce the
wacf, scale that was formulated ana
hanHed to the industry by another
Government agency
The alleged maladjustment of the
coal rate structure was said by Mr..
Lewis to have arisen largely from the
fact that since 1915 the rates from the
Indiana mines to every principal
market have been increased out of all
proportion to the rate increases from
the mines in other States"

302 of the Public Laws Of 1917, which
reads as follows:
'Whoever sells or gives away an
air rifle to any child under the age
Of fourteen years shall be fined not
less than $500 nor more than $4,000"
1t seems desirable, in view of exist
ing conditions, to also call attention
at this time to the law applying to
the sale of firearms or dangerous
weapons to children. This Is found in
Section "a, Chapter 120, of the Re-
vised Statutes, which reads as fol-
lows:
whoever gives, furnishes or sells to
any such child (under the age of 16
years) any dangerous weapon or fire.
arm, except in cases where the pa
rents, guardians, teachers or instruc-
tors of children may furnish them with
such weapons for hunting or target
shooting outside the thickly settled
portion of any town or city. or where
such weapons may be used In any IL
censed shooting gallery, shall be
deemed guilty Of encouraging, causing
or contributing to the delinquency or
distress Of such child and upon con-
viction shall be punished as provided
in the preceding section-fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or by Imprisonment
not exceeding thirty days"
The department of inland fisheries
and game has had a conference with
the city marshal of Augusta, and he
will cooperate with the commission
er of inland fisheries and game in the
enforcement of the air rifle law. 1t is
hoped that parents and guardians will
see that no children under IA years Of
age are allowed to have air rifles and
that the provisions of Section "a.
above quoted, applying to children
under 16 years Of age, are carefully
observed.

dogs in the town Of Palermo. One
deer was killed by the dogs, or died
as result of being chased, and the
other is just alive, in the custody of
Game Warden Perlie Coffin who is
caring for 1t and trying to save its
life.
In all these cases where the owners
OF the dogs can be identified, statu-
tory notice under the new law passed
by the last Legislature is given the
dog owners, then If their dogs are
found running at large without being
accompanied by the owner, the own
er is subject to a severe penalty-a
fine of not less than $50 nor more
than 500 and costs for each offense.
In cases where the dog owner has
previously received notice, of course
all that the warden has to do is to
proceed under the law and submit to
the court the record of the depart
ment that the statutory notice had
been given.
