Coal Mine Wage
Negotiations
Interrupted
Next Meeting Monday; Lewis
Still Boosts Efficiency

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 1s.-The Joint
subcommittee to which were referred
the two plans for settlement of the
wage controversy between the coal
operators and the United Mine Work.
ers Of America has adjourned until
Monday. No agreement has been
reached.
Most Of the miners and operators
representatives have gone to Havana
for the Weekend
Discussion in the subcommittee is
said to have centered around the pro
posals made by William G. Haskins
for the operators and that Of Presi-
dent Lewis on behalf of the union.
Two Proposals.
The Lewis proposal provides for a
continuation of the Jacksonville scale
Of (nominally) $3.50 per day with the
organization of a commission COM
posed of technical experts, lawyers,
etc, to work out plans for adding to
the efficiency of the industry.
The Haskin plan asks a reduction
in wages in the central competitive
fields-Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania-to the level of
the prevailing rate in the non-union
districts and provides machinery for
constant adjustments of wages and
working conditions. Four miners, four
operators, and three impartial" medi.
ators would constitute the Haskir
commission. In the event the miners
and operators are unable to agree on
the three mediators they are to be
appointed by the chief justice of the
United States Supreme Court.
Both plans have a more efficient
organization of the industry as their
basis.
Report Agreement Rumors.
There is much gossip here relative
70 the probability of separate agree
ments with the union in the -four
states comprising the central cuupe-
titive field.
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania OPP
orators claim that the short distance
from their markets to the non-unior
fields of West Virginia places them
Under a handicap from which the
Illinois operators do not suffer.
While there are statements that
Illinois will sign a separate agreement
-the opposite appears to be more
rrobable-that the operators of the
other competitive fields will insist OF
separate agreements whether Illinois
does or not.
1t will be remembered that before
the exposure Of Frank Harrington
former president of District IL, ILL
nois, as an employee of the Peabody
coal interests, he advocated separate
agreement for the Illinois sections Of
the union.
The statements that separate agree
nents will be signed in the central
competitive field are probably based
on the belief that the liquidation OF
harrington did not mean the liquida-
ton Of his policy.

the five Bergen county textile strike
prisoners on flimsy bomb charges.
Little NimmO" tried three times to
have HoIlace Ransdell. secretary of
the Joint Committee for Passaic De-
Tense, ordered out of the courtroom.
Nimmo is the man who read the
riot act in front of Forstmann-Huff-
mann mills early in the Passaic tex
tile workers strike. He has done the
same stunt every time the workers
struck at these mills.
Under his "riot law" in this strike
Norman Thomas, Robert Dunn, David
Weinstein and the Federated Press
reporter were arrested, though their
cases were dismissed months after.
Forstmann-H Huffman have been pref
ty clearly identified as the behind
scenes instigators, through agent
provocateurs, of the bomb plots which
brought IL strike victims into the
courts.
Defense Wins Point.
Little Nimmo did not score with
Judge William Seufert, however, and
Miss Ransdell was permitted to re-
main and aid defense attorneys, Alex

unexpectedly brought Paul Kovac up
instead of Tom Regain, SO that Rams

In Commission, Court

NEW YORK, May 6 tP)--One OF
Tex Richards heavyweight ellnln-
alton semi finals ment to court to-
DAY and the other encountered fresh
difficulties in the offices OF the New
York state athletic commission.
While Federal Judge Henry W.
Goddard reserved decision on the
raotion of Walter A. Taylor. Cleve-
land promoter, to enjoin Rickard
from staging the Jimmy Maloney-
Jack Sharkey match at the Yankee
stadium May 19, the commission
turned deaf ears for the present to
the plea Of Paolino Uzcudun for re-
instaternent. The Spaniard already
has been tentatively matched to face
Jack Dempsey IN the former cham
pion's scheduled comeback effort at
the stadium July 9.
Judge Goddard asked attorneys for
TAYLOR to submit briefs to support
the Cleveland promoters contention
that Maloney is bound by an troll
clad agreement to fight Johnny
Risko in Cleveland before the match
here. Taylors contract called for
the bout or or before May l. Ma
loney not only failed to carry out
the contract but refused also to sci
future date for the match, Taylor
contends
Richards counsel will submit briefs
to show that the contract no longer
binds Maloney because OF payment
to Taylor of $1,000 as settlement il
full under a forfeiture clause in the
agreement decision is expected nex'
week.
After examining documentary evi.
dence and hearing the stories o
Paolino and one OF his business ad
visors, AL Mayer, the boxing com
mission decided it was justified las
week in banning the Spaniard at thu
