WASHINGTON, July 2. - TIE
| United Press, as well as. the Asso-
slated Press, acted as agents for the
distribution of power trust propa-
ganda in Wisconsin, a letter from A.
F. Herwig, director Of the publicity
bureau of the Wisconsin trust, re-
yeals. The letter, written to Ber-
rapd ]. MqNaaey, Of the Illinois pub
Lefty bureau, was entered as evidence
during the testimony OF Harwig to-
day before the federal trade commits
sion,
Herwig testified concerning the
three=feld propaganda campaign of
the Wisconsin power interests, in
GLIDING distribution Of publicity to
newspapers, public speaking and work
in the schools. In line with the work
in the schools he "co-operated" with
tive professors of the "liberal" Uni
yersity of Wisconsin in the prepara-
ton of textbooks favorable to the
utilities interests. The two profess
sors whom Herwig so obligingly aid
ed are Prof Martin J. Glaesser and
Prof Frank B. Woy. Asked whether
any power company helped to finance
either of the two books, the publicity
director of the power companies ex-
pressed complete ignorance on the
subject.
Supply Speakers.
Herwig stated that utility speakers
are regularly supplied to schools,
clubs and other groups in the state.
Herwig's letter to Mullaney de-
clared that practically "every daily
newspaper in the state uses some Of
the stories from the clip sheet. When
we have information requiring inlme-
date publication we send it through
out the state through the United

Brooklyn Union Gas Co.

If the proposed rates of the Brook

feet, the workers of Brooklyn will be
forced to pay more for their gas than
in any other large city in the U. S..
according to Dr. G. M. Bemis, statisti-

At the hearing before the Public
Service Commission he asserted that
by increasing the initial charge, the
poorer consumers, more than two
thirds of the company's customers
would have to bear the brunt of
increase. When one Of the consumers
arose at the hearing to protest
against the increase he was promptly
silerced by the chairman, and his
statements were ordered out of the

UNIONTOWN, Pa, July 2.-The
roof of a coke-oven at the nen-union
Phillips mine near here collapsed, and
Elmer g. wilson, 4o-year-old miner
fell into IL oven. The miner died
horrible death a few Hours later
n the Uniontown Hospital.
The coal diggers in the coke fields
are working under conditions even
more dangerous than those in the
oituminous and anthracite mines.
Wages, which are usually paid in
script or company coined money and
exchangeable only at company-owned
stores, are among the lowest paid
miners anywhere. There are no pit
committees, as in union mines, to de-
mand safety measures to protect the
lives of the workers.
Most of the mining towns in the
coke fields are entirely company
owned. For those who do not work
in these towns, merely to walk thru
the streets is an offense. Coal and
iron police, licensed by the state, but
hired and paid by the company, are
on hand to see that nobody attempts
to organize the pen.
According to reports brought tc
the headquarters of the National Min
ers' Relief Committee by coal diggers
from the various mining camps, the
cokeworkers are nevertheless secret
ly organizing themselves.
