Mine Operators Ask
Byrnes' Reinsurance
Concerning Lewis
b the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representatives of the Appalach-
ian area coal mine operators called
on James F. Byrnes. War Mobiliza-
tion Director, yesterday for assur-
ance that comments by President
Roosevelt at press conference Fri
day do not constitute capitulation
by the Government" to John L.
Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers.
The President told questioners
Friday that he knew of no law
which could compel Mr.. Lewis to
sign a contract with the operators
as directed by the War Labor Board.
He asked what good 1t would do
If he sent Mr. Lewis a note In long
hand on pink paper asking him to
sign as the WLB directed. He said
he doubted that authority existed
for taking over the UNIV.
That last comment was in answer
to a reminder that Montgomery
Ward g. Co. had signed a union con-
tract upon his order. He said sane
tions existed in that case in the.
form of authority to take over the
firm.
Owners Issue Statement.
A statement. released yesterday
by r. l.. Ireland, jr, and Edward
r. Burke. said:
I'VE have not lost faith In the
War Labor Board and the Once
of War Mobilization. We do not
feel that the administration will
continue to tolerate the present
interruption of coal production nor
that it will continue to deprive us
of possession of our mines. To do
so would mean complete capitula-
ton to Mr.. Lewis and that, in turn,
would be threat to the entire in
dustrial structure of the Nation.
Appended to the operators state
ment was copy of letter they
sent Mr.. Byrnes Friday, saying:
I'VE have before us your letter
of June 80 in reply to our letter
of June % to the President, in
which you state. The Government
is giving careful consideration to
the steps which may be taken to
obtain full compliance with the
June l8 directive OF the National
War Labor Board without increas-
ing the risk of interruption of min
ing relations"
Concerned Over Report.
1--WE have just seen the report on
the Presidents press conference this
morning. 1t is being interpreted
by the coal industry as an answer to
our letter of June % to the President
and our letter to you of June 80.
They interpret the Presidents
remarks to mean that the admins
tration has decided not to require
compliance by Mr.. Lewis and that,
therefore. Mr.. Lewis. through his
defiance of Government, has gained
his point and that they would have
been better off to have joined with
Mr.. Lewis in the making of con-
tract. They feel that their negoti-
ating committees were wrong in try
ing to support the stabilization
program.

Senate Agriculture subcommittee
investigating the alcohol program
disclosed yesterday.

from grains.

said. to recover all but 100000 tons.
explaining that part Of it is now be-
ing fed to cattle without drying at
the site OF production and that
part Of 1t cannot be reclaimed eco
nomically or effectively.
Thus the program calls Tor recov-
cry of $4,000 tons annually. and
the VIA estimated that $40, 900 tons
of that can be recovered from pres
ent facilities and those under con-
struction.
To carry out the remaining part
Of the program-recovery of 10000
tons-the VIA contemplates the
installation of necessary equipment

By FRANK II. BARTHOLOMEW

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 CUP)-
In a dispatch from Berlin three
months after the ending of World
War One, United Press staff COR
respondent Frank j. Taylor re-
vealed, that the German people did
not consider themselves defeated
and that World War Two was in
the making.
Today in San Francisco Taylor,
now a Well-knoWn magazine writer,
ventured another prediction based
upon his knowledge of the German
psychology and military structure:
That in the end Germany will
again fold" suddenly, with little
advance warning; that the collapS,
will come within the next two years.
MADE REPUTATION
Taylor, who made a reputation
for accurate reporting as 'front.'
line war correspondent, was sent
into Germany Immediately after
the last Armistice to cover the
birth of the new German republic
and to reorganize the Berlin staff
of the United Press
In a dispatch printed in Ameri-
can newspapers February 26, 1919,
Taylor wrote from Berlin.
Three months careful study of
Germany, following the signing of
the Armistice, forces the conviction
that neither war from without nor
revolution from within has worked
any psychological metamorphosis of
Germany as nation, or of Ger
mans as individuals.
The revolution has changed the
form of government. 1t has not
changed the governed. The war has
brought to Germany defeat, dis

brought despair nor humiliation. A

in a letter of protest he wrote to
District Attorney Elmer Heald of
Imperial county, who drafted the
bill at the request of the County
Ministerial association juvenile COM
cittee and tile county probation
committee.
REASON FOR BILL
The proposed bill was framed to
give probation officers power to
prevent minors from entering Mexi-
co unless accompanied by their
parents or legal guardians.
Meanwhile, alarmed at the in
crease of juvenile delinquency in
Imperial county, the Parent Teacher
association of Harding school asked
the county board of supervisors to

keep juveniles off the streets and
in their homes after the early eve
ming hours. The board took no ac-
ton on the suggestion filed by the

to Heald, Col. Gutierrez and a group
of other Mexican officials called on
Heald and promised to cooperate
with American officials in some
feasible method designed to help cut
down juvenile delinquency. The

to help in any way they can but
declared they felt the Americans,
