WASHINGTON, March 21.-Com-
panieS controlled by John D. Rookie
teller Jr. and Charles M Schwab
took the lead in breaking wage con-
tracts with union miners in West
Virginia, Van A. Bittner, United
Mine Workers counsel, told the Sen

today.
He said the Bethlehem Mines, Cor
poration, dominated by Schwab, and
the Consolidation Coal Company, a
Rockefeller concern, abrogated the
Baltimore wage agreement in 1924
and 1925, shortly after it was con-
Summated.
These companies set the prece-
dent for contract breaking in West
Virginia" Bittner said. "They tried
to compete by cutting costs and
taking the cut from the pockets of
their miners"
SchWab and Rockefeller have been
subpoenaed to appear before the
committee later this week. They
probably will be asked to explain
why they diSregarded the wage con-
tract.

DENIES FORCING ACTION

A legal battle to determine
whether the Glen Haven Cemetery
Association can develop its cemetery
on Kessler Blvd. across north from
Broadmoor Country Club in the
face of an ordinance prohibiting
cemeteries adjacent to park prop
erty appeared imminent today.
The proposed cemtery has been a
battle-ground ever since the first at
tempt to open it three years ago.
Begin Construction
The signs of a new fight appeared
in the announcement of Merle N. A.
Walker, attorney for the Glen Haven
association that a contractor was
moving steam shovel to the prop
erty and probably would begin ex-
cavation for the drainage system
today. This will be the first actual
construction work.
Upon hearing this, Corporation
Counsel John W. Hoffman declared:
IF there is any effort to do any
thing contrary to the city ordinance
we shall proceed Immediately to en-
force the ordinance"
Investigate Lot Sales
Meanwhile, the Michigan securi-
ties commission at Lansing, Mich,
had before it the question of wheth-
er Glen Haven representatives
should be stopped from selling foun-
derS' lots, sections of real estate in
the cemetery, to Michigan citizens.
Michigan authorities have been
told that the statesmen have sold
about 1925 900 worth of the lots in
that State. Bankers, automobile
factory executives and other lead
ing citizens have been among the
purchasers.
The Michigan commission has
been told that the Glen Haven sales
men have painted word pictures
leading prospects to believe that the
cemetery already is beautifully land
scaped and that some bodies have
been buried in it.
Find Property in Waste
AS the property actually stands
today it is a dreary brown waste,
the principal feature of which is
straggly orchard
The only visible signs of land
scaping" are the ruins of the foun-
dations of two small buildings which

Walker declared today that Mich
igan is not the only place that
founders lots have been sold. They
are being sold in Indiana. too, he
said.
The founders lot idea, it is under
stood, was devised after the Indiana
securities commission let it be known
that it frowned upon the sale Of
securities because of the city ordi-
nance.
Claim Good Legal Basis
"We are satisfied we are on a good
legal basis" said Walker. There Is
no court order telling us not to be-
gin work on the cemetery and with
the weather such as it is this was a
propitious time to start.
1--WE are not starting with the idea
of forcing court action, but rather
merely because our program has
reached the point where building
activity is called for.
eve do not believe the ordinance
is valid, because Kessler Blvd. at
this point is merely a country high
way, far outside city limits, and
there is a decision on record hold
ing that the city cannot call a road
a boulevard under such circum-
stances"

Pittsburgh has cancelled its Sept. l
