MINERS PLIGHT
WILL BE PR0BED

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 10. U.P)
Governor Clifford Pinchot today
announced the state Immediately
would investigate working and liv-
ing conditions of Western Pennsyl-
yania bituminous miners, 10000 of
whom now are on strike.
Information is reaching my Of
flee which shows beyond controver-
sy that the conditions of a large
number of miners and their families
in western Pennsylvania is pitiable
in the extreme" Pinchot said.
Il am having an investigation
made to ascertain what wages are
being paid in individual soft coal
mines, how many hours a week
miners are working, that the situa-
ton is to check weighmen, and need
for check weIghmen and other SINH
lar matters.
This administration has set it's
face like flint against violence by
any people or from any source and
will not tolerate it. 1t the same
time it recognizes that working and
living conditions of the miners are
a matter of deepest concern to the
government and people of this COM
monwealth and it proposes to get
the facts concerning them in detail
as promptly as possible"

DEMPSEY
ATTORNEYS HOLD
new CONFERENCE

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. (U.P
In what was reported the final
conference, attorneys for Jack
Dempsey and Estelle Taylor met
here today to discuss their marital
troubles.
Miss Taylor's attorney, Joseph
Scott came from Los Angeles, meet
ing Robert E. Burns, Dempsey'S
counsel, who came from Reno. The
conference took place at the office
of John Taafe, San Francisco at
torney.
The two disputed points that were
understood due for settlement at
the gathering were what property
settlement would be arranged and
who should sue for divorce.
Dempsey announced several weeks
ago his intention of suing in Reno,
charging desertion. Miss Taylor
was quoted as countering with the
assertion that "if there is a divorce
I'll do the suing, and Ill do it in
California
Indications we're, however, that
private agreement had been reached
under which Dempsey would sue as
he first planned and that only de-
tails of the property settlement re-
manned to be worked out here.
The former champion was today
enroute from Reno to Ensenada to
confer with associates regarding his
extensive resort holdings there.

Campbell Charges
Will Be Ignored

WASHINGTON, June 10. U.P)-
1t was considered unlikely in in
formed circles today that any Off
cial comment would follow filing
with President Hoover of charges
against Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Lowman by Maurice
Campbell, former New York pro-
hibition administrator.
At the treasury it was indicated
that the incident was closed with
Secretary Melons recent reply to
Campbell. At that time Mellon
said he considered the charges of
orders to "lay off" breweries in 1923
as without sufficient foundation to
merit investigation.
He said they were identical with
disclosures in Campbell's articles
last year in the New York World,
and those had been looked into at
the time.

tain said, the American public pays
from $50 to SIS a case for scotch,

the risk in running the blockade

running is regulated business; the
worst difficulty at sea, he said, are
the coast guards. AS for storms, he
said: I'VE prefer them in our busi-

DISAGREEMENT
NEAR SOLUTION
Resignation Of PizzardO
Seen AS First Step For
Peaceful Settlement.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

ROME, June 10. W.P)-Resigna-
ton of Monsignor Pizzardo as as
sistant general of the Catholic lay
mems organization Azione Cattolica
was announced today and was
deemed a possible stepping stone to
solution of Italian-Vatican prob
lens.
just previous TO announcement
of the resignation, it had been
learned that yesterdays govern
ment reply to the Vatican notes
had insisted upon removal of Piz-
zardo, on the ground that he was a
subject of the Vatican State but
not of Italy.
The Vatican was understood to be
preparing a fourth note.
Monsignor Pizzardo has been
nominally head of Azione Cattolica.
The governments view was under
stood to be that Italy could not
further tolerate as head of the Or
ganization a person who was tech
nically a foreigner, insisting that
the position rightly belong to some
high parsonage having allegiance
to Italy.
It was stated that If the position
were assigned to some Italian
bishop or archbishop who was not
a citizen of Vatican City, such a
solution would be acceptable to the
government.
Monsignor Pizzardo has been un-
der attack from various Fascist
sources, including the newspaper
Lavoro Fascista, which has insisted
he was guiding the activities of
Azione Cattolica into social and po-
litical fields. Lavoro Fascista quot
ed Pizzardo as saying, Sept. 8, 1890,
in Civilta Cattolica:
IF AZione Cattolica's tasks are
especially religious, as defined in
article 43 of the concordat, they do
not cease at the same time TO be
social, inasmuch as it prepared its
adherents for social purposes, while
it is political as it procures the
common good with laws and insti-
tutes conforming TO Christian doc
trine."
