''POund" of Bread Is

Retail Price Rises

That the one cent rise IN bread
prices is actually a greater rise be-
cause of reductions In the weight
of the bread loaf, Is pointed out
by a railroad worker writing to the
weekly paper Labor" He writes.
"How do the bakers get away
with 1t? In this territory the
pound loaf Is twelve ounces, and
even ten ounces, while the price
has gone up from five TO six cents.
This makes Is cents for 80 ounces,

They are ordered to submit all of
their grievances TO conferences be-
tween UMWA officials and the coal
operators. If the controversy cannot
be settled by these conferences, then
they must be submitted to COM
pulsory arbitration board composed of
two representatives of the coal oper-
ators Zone chosen by the operators
themselves and one by the govern
ment for each mining district, and
one by the UMWA officials.
Must Accept
The decisions of these strike break
ing boards, says the code accepted by
Lewis and Green, Shall be accepted
by the parties to the controversy as
effective for q provisional period Of
not longer than six months, to be
fixed by the board"
This section of the law goes on to
say that no matter how bad condi-
tions, the miners must not strike while
the compulsory arbitration board Is
considering their grievances, or after
decision is made, no matter what
the decision is. The wording of this
section Is as follows:
During the consideration of any
such controversy, either by the agreed
machinery Of adjustment or by the
bituminous coal labor board (the
strikebreaking and compulsory arbi-
tration body) neither party to the
controversy shall change the condi-
tions out Of which the controversy
arose or utilize coercIve or retaliatory
measures to compel the other party
to accede to its demands"
That means no strikes. It means
that the miners unions become abso-
lutely worthless If the law Is to be
carried out, because the miners are
forbidden to use their organized
strength to fight against low wages.
discrimination, or even failure to car
ry out the very low wages granted by
the codes. 1t means that If the H. c.
Prick Coke Co., or the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal Co. slash wages, and
fire union men, nobody is allowed to
walk out of the mine and fight
against it. The miners must remain
at work, and John L. Lewis and VIII
liam Green, as we'll as all other Off
cials Of the U.M.W.A., will do all they
can to make this strikebreaking EFF
fective and acceptable"
Decisions Final"
The decision Of the compulsory ar
bitration boards are final, and the
men are supposed to obey them for
at least six months. If they have any
more grievances, the strikebreaking
mill grinds all over again, but the
men must remain at work.

 Geneva, Oct. g - (UP) War talk echoed through Europe today as mem bers of the disarmament conference steering committee con- ferrcd anxiously preparatory. to q formal meeting this afternoon.
 Statesmen talked frankly of the present prospects for another great war and newspapers in sensational headlines charged that Germany was plotting to invade France through Switzerland, while dele gates of the powers gathered to prepare the way for resumption of the world disarmament confer cnce. eA1
 There was biackest gloom on the surface, but underneath there were indications that the usual compro- mise might be effected leaving the way open for the world confer ence to meet as scheduled week from to-day.
 Delegates of the principal pow ers-thc United States, Great Bri- tain, France, Germany and Italy were in almost continuous confer ence in hotel suites. They tried to find a way out of the deadlock caused by Germany's demand that the World war allies make good their promise to disarm or permit her to increased armaments, lim- tied by the Versailles peace treaty.
 A series of important talks oc- cured last night. Rudolf Nadolny, chief German delegate in the ab- sence of Baron Constantin Won Neurath, foreign minister, visited Norman H. Davis, chief American delegate. Nadolny, 1t was learned. indicated willingness to continue private negotiations. American
