OPERATORS
HELD TO
BL AN|E


a picture OF brutality, terrorism
and suffering in the strike-torn soft
coal fields was unfolded before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
nittee today by John l. Lewis,
president of the United Mine work
ers.
Lewis was the first witness at the
committees general investigation
into conditions in the Pennsylvallla u
Ohio and West Virginia biturninous
fields
sThe tales of outrage and. tyranny
that come from the nonunion coal
fields have weakened respect tor
Government everywhere" Lewis de-
clared.
The purpose of the big nonunion
operators. Lewis charged Is to
break the morale of the striking
miners and to destroy the union.
All Out OF Gear
s'The open-n1inded citizen recog-
mics that these attempts to batter
down fair wages, to lengthen the
work day and to enslave mine work
ers in isolated mining camps is q.
rectly opposite to the American
point Of view and out OF gear with
American economic thought and
American life" he said.
THE acts Of the nonunion inter
ests are rot merely an assault upon
American government, substitu-
tion Of the dictatorship Of ownership
for constitutional government they
J are an attack upon the declared puF-
poses OF the American people as
enacted in tariff and immigration
laws.
he urged the following remedies
10 stabilize the highly over de.
! yeloped coal industry:
81 The uneconomic mines must
be closed and closed for good;
80. Unscientific freight rates
must be wiped off the tariff books;
s. The perpetual strife and con-
0ict within the industry must give
] way to labor relations on par
with those which have achieved
comparative peace In other trades:
Above all the American con-
stituti0n must mean what 1t says
! IN every coal field OF America.
Operators Responsible
He declared that scut throat in.
ternaI competition among opera
tors was in q large degree re-
sponsfbIe for the present de-
anoralized state OF the industry.
James j. Davis, secretary of
Labor and William B. Wilson Of
PENNSYLVANIA, ex-Secretary OF Labor,
attended the hearing.
In reply to question by Sem
ator wagner CD Of New York,
Lewis declared the Federal govern
nent. through the Commerce, Labor
and Justice departments, cooperated
in framing the Jacksonville wage
agreement, which the miners
charge the operators have broken.
Failure to renew the agreement
resulted in the present strike.
President Coolidge in 1925 refused
TO intervene to compel soft coal
operators to live up to the Jackson.
vile wage agreement with the
miners, John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, re-
vealed.
Lewis appealed to the President

are violating the law.
Following the conference, McQuade
reiterated his innocence and stated
that the Chief Justice had expressed
confidence In him and told him not
to worry.
The charges against McQuade
were made yesterday by Policemen
George Hellmuth and Richard Cox.
Gas Light EmplOye
HellmutF said he met McQuade
at the offices Of the Washington
Gas Light Company. where the
latter is employed. McQuade took
him out in the hall, he said, and
asked him il he knew KfIleen. an
alleged bookmaker. Then he told
him, Hellmuth said. that Killeen and
another man had place down on
Four-and-a-H Half Street, and that both
fthem were pretty good fellows. |"
McQuade then told him, the Of
ficer testified, to keep his eyes
closed around Killeen's place.
Cox testified that one day, when
he had q warrant in his pocket for
Killeen, McQuade approached him
and asked him il he had the war
rant. Cox said he denied 1t but
that McQuade went on to tell him
that Killeen was a good fellow"
and a friend of his.

"Since Major Hesse has been

the Texan asked.
MIR. Congressman, Headley re.
piled, "'this is most embarrassing"
II know it is" Blanton said,
''but your duty to the government
is higher than your duty to your
superior officer. Now answer,

say frequently"
Earlier in the hearing Blanton
had stated that he called on Hesse
last year and smelled liquor on his
breath. He said he had promised
Hesse at that time to support
him il he would eliminate the
drinking.
Didn't Remember
Hesse denied that he remembered
the conversation.
Most of the remainder Of

ing case. He did not answer the
questions in regard to this very
clearly but Representative William
C.. Hammer was so impressed with
the delinquency Of the District At
torney's office that he suggested
the testimony should be forwarded
to the Senate Judiciary committee
which Is now considering the
nomination of District Attorney

said that IL the testimony was

While regretting that they did not
get in top place in the target practice
scores fired during the annual Summer
cruises, officers and men of the United
States Naval Reserve Battalion of the
District of Columbia have set out on
a plan of training which they hope will
place them on the top during the
cruises next year. While none OF the
members of the local battalion are COM
planning of the showing, nevertheless
those close to the activities OF the
local citizen sailors pointed out that
the local battalion was victim OF cir =
cumstances during the past year. AT
the time when the training was needed
most its training ship. the destroyer
Allen. was dispatched to Philadelphia
to be put out of commission, and its re-
lief, the destroyer Abel P. Upshut,
came down here only a short time be-
fore the cruises started. There was
practically no time for the men to be-
come familiar with the intricate mech
anism which is brought into play for
battle practice.
All of the local divisions. forming the
battalion, have made cruises aboard
the new ship. and have become more
familiar with her. and the drill schedule
has been SO arranged that during much
of the armory drill period the gun
crews will be sent to the ship, berthed
at the Washington Navy Yard, to get
in their team work, which is one of
the big things in serving and firing a
gun in battle.
The craftsmanship Is to be given
considerable attention, and the schedule
for the Winter exercises provides for
intensive training for the gun pointers
and trainers in the little target rangS
