DEMAND TO GUIDE
MINES REOPEN|NG
"Work-Pending Settlement"
Agreements Bring Gradual
Resumption of Output.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Fress.
INDIANAPOLIS, June o3.--The
problem of too many men mining too
much coal may be solved, or at least
working out of the new strike policy
of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
In past strikes as abnormal demand
for coal, created by shortage, has put
all men back at work in all mines
through settlements for" the central
competitive field. Once this unusual
demand has abated. the age-old forces
of too many men and too much coal
have started once more the demoraliz-
ing cycle that leads to surplus and
consequent suspension.
Change by Committee.
Inasmuch as the miners in the pres
ent suspension sought only mainte.
nance Of the Jacksonville scale of
$3.50 day for day men and S1.0S for
tonnage men. the international policy
committee abandoned it's former in
sistence of a national settlement and
authorized negotiation of district
agreements satisfactory to the com.
mittee. In addition miners were per-
mitted to sign work pending settle.
ment" agreements with individual
operators at the former wage scale.
1t Is the manner in which the work
pending settlement" option has worked
out that may permit termination of
the present shutdown to mark the
beginning of a tranquil period in the
coal fields. Numerous union mines
have resumed opera tons. finding it
possible at the present time to market
their coal at a price above production
cost
Effect Of Process.
If this process should be pursued to
its ultimate conclusion, some observ-
ers believe. only as many mines would
reopen as are necessary to produce
normal supply. and only as many
men would return to work as are nee
essary to meet the demand for coal.
Those mines with the lowest produc.
ton cost would be the first to resume
operations. BY this theory the law
of supply and demand would shut off
resumption Of operations at the point
at which production paralleled con-
sumption. On such basis the strike
might be settled so gradually that no
formal announcement of it's end ever
would be made.

GERARD PROTESTS
ENVOY TO TURKEY
President Would Enforce Re-
iected Lausanne Treaty,
He Tells Kellogg.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 2S.--In n letter
and memorandum addressed 10 Secre.
tary of State Kellogg. under date
of June II and made public yesterday
James w. Gerard, vice chairman OF
the executive committee of the Amer
lean committee opposed to the Lau.
same treaty. has renewed a previous
protest to President Coolidge against
the proposed exchange of ambassadors
with Turkey.
Mr.. Gerard. former Ambassador to
Germany. called attention TO the pro
test he filed May IS. In further sup
port of the protest he annexed a
memorandum setting forth a claim
that the modus vivendi of February
IS. 1927. with Turkey is unconstitu-
tional; that the treaty of 1880. as
amended in 1874. is still the legal
basis of relations with Turkey and
that the executive can resume re-
lations with Turkey on the basis only
OF the treaty of 1880, as amended in
1874
Gerard Alleges Partially.
Mr.. Gerard's letter declared his
amazement that the State Depart.
ment should be willing to resort even
TO processes which are novel. to say
the least. to show favor and partial
ity to the Turks, TO whom we have no
obligations and who fought against
lis, but that it should be unwilling
to do any of the things which it can
legitimately do for the Armenians,
to whom we have fixed obligations
and who fought on our side"
The letter drew a comparison be-
tween Turkey and Austria, where a
legation has replaced an embassy,
and Hungary, where only a Minister
is sent. The CLOSE political rela-
tionship" between "Kemalist Turkey
and Red Russia also was stressed.
Calls Pact Executive Act.
The memorandum in. submitting that
the modus vivendi of February IS,
1927, Is unconstitutional set forth that
the agreement, "a wholly executive
act" possesses the full force of the
rejected Lausanne treaty and all the
attributes of treaty. 1t proposes to
re-establish normal diplomatic and
treaty relations between the two
countries; 1t can be renewed indefi-
nitely, but it need not be submitted
to the advice and consent of the
Senate"
