OHIO'S COAL MINES
MAY GO NON-UNION
Wage Farley Fails, Operatives
Plan to Reopen Workings on
$5-a-Day Basis.

by tne Associated Press
COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 16.-Ohio
coal mine operators today were appar-
emily going ahead with their plans to
reopen their mines on non-union
basis, except in the Hooking district.
following their rejection yesterday of
the proposal of the United Mine Work
erS' leaders to again convene to at
tempt to reach AN agreement embrac-
ing a wage scale for the entire central
competitive district.
Their rejection of the miners offer
to reopen the Miami, Fla. conference
was believed to mean they would go
ahead with their attempts to reopen
their mines on n $5-a day scale, as
they had threatened when they. offered
union miners that scale. Their offer
was rejected.
However, the operators offered to
meet with union officials of the Hook
ing district to try to form a separate
wage agreement. The invitation was
signed by four of the largest opera
tors in that district and set the meet
ing place at Logan Monday morning
Oral Daugherty, subdistrict union
president, declined to say whether the
invitation would be accepted.

BURGLARS STEAL
3(l)+POUND SAFE
Take $3.50 From Chain Gro
Gerry Store After Breaking
Into Bakery.

Apparently unwilling to take the
time to attempt TO solve the combi-
nation, burglars early this morning
stole 300-pound safe. containing
about $3.50, from A Sanitary Grocery,
at 351t Twelfth street northeast.
Judging from similar methods used
in breaking in. the same bandits
stopped off at n neighboring store,
bakery. at 3515 Twelfth street north
east, kept by John f. EIaske., and
took 81 in silver from the till, leaving
"A handful Of pennies.
Thought Cat Made Noise.
shortly after midnight. Mr.. Haske
was in his store. He heard Il noise
a few doors away. evidently the sound
of the burglars breaking in the gro.
Gerry, but when n pet cat came meow
ing into the store dismissed his mo-
mentary alarm. Then he went home
and the burglars entered.
Entrance To the grocery was gained
by smashing through the glass on a
rear door and cutting some stout wire
protecting the glass on the inside
one of the burglars reached in and
priod loose stout staple, causing the
paddock TO drop to the floor, still
locked.
Probably Used Auto.
That opened the door The safe
was few feet inside. The robbers
probably used an automobile, not only
to cart away the safe. but to stand
on when they entered the bakery. The
window is so high from the ground
that it would take ladder or
mount as high as an automobile to
reach it.

Justice therefore says:
'"The applicants in this case ask the

we cannot accept the implication that
the antitrust laws of the United

contrary to the policy of foreign
countries, are entitled to less respect
from this court than other laws. We
submit that our antitrust laws must
be enforced within our own territory

"The applicants in this case stand
upon no better ground than any other

Like others, while within our terri

been held by that branch Of the

the conduct of our foreign relations.
In support of this contention, Col.

The French monopoly. acting

there are plenty of decisions az be

plainly show that the insistence on
