UAW Official Assai|s
Auto Boosts as Price
Fixing at Gun Point
By the kssooioted Press

DETROIT, Sept IA. - Proposed
increases in OPA neW-car prices
were asSailed today by George F.
Adde's, secretary-treasurer of the
CIO United Auto Workers, VINO
termed them price fixing at the
point OF gum
Mr.. Adde's, in a letter to OPA
Chief Paul A. Porter, declared such
increases "are without legal or eco
nomic justification.
The UAW Office reported Mr..
Adde's letter was mailed Friday to
Mr.. Porter. several hours before the
OPA announcement that it would
grant an as yet undisclosed increase
in the price of new Ford automo-
biles.
Sees Increased Efficiency.
Mr.. Adde's said the proposed in
creases can be justified only if one
believes that the industry has the
right to squeeze the last available
penny OF profit from the present
scarcity Of automobiles
The UAW official expressed be-
lief that the second half of 1916
will see sharply increased efficiency" ;"
Management war with labor
seems to have been abandoned at
least temporarily" he said. Kinks
in production lines and failures in
industry planning will begin to
smooth themselves out.
Production will be better geared
to available materials. And it should
be remembered that industry still
retains the lushly generous provi-
sions of the tax laws which permit
reduced profits to be written off at
Government expense.
Questions Action.
"1 do not believe it is the reSpon-
sibility of your Office to assure the
auto industry the same soaring
profit for the production of As mil
lion cars that it could expect at
present prices for the production of
6 million cars Mr.. Adde's said
Referring to the shutdown of Cen
eral Motors plants during the re-
cent strike, Mr.. Adde's asked Mr..
Porter
Does your agency propose to COM
pensate General Motors in the Sec
ond half of this year for losses suf-
fered in the first half through :.

BY tho Associated Pres,

| NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-A strike
| of musicians in New York's night
clubs was averted today when own
ers of the night spots acceded to
union demands for a 20 per cent
wage increase and other contract
changes.
The strike was scheduled for mid
pight and would have caused al
most a complete shutdown of such
after dark entertainment places
since New York hotel dine drink
and-dance rooms already have been
closed by the strike of Local 802.
American Federation of Musicians.
In addition to the 20 per cent in
crease, the night club musicians,
who were getting S9430 a week
under their old contracts, obtained
time and a half for overtime, and
extra compensation for New Year
Eve and for working sessions longer
than one hour.

Six Kentuckians Held
On Sedition Charqes
After Mob Agitations'
BY the ASxotioted Press


WHITESBURG. KY, Sept. IA
Sheriff Herman Combs announced
tonight the arrest of six men on
sedition charges which he said
stemmed from mob agitation and
threats to throw county officials out
and blow up the courthouse"
Two other arrests, ne added, may
be expected the first of the week
Letcher County residents were re-
luctant to comment, but it was
learned reliably that the agitation
was an outgrowth of the recent Elk
Horn Coal Corp. strike in which
miners protested the company's en-
ployment of one of Sheriff Combs
deputies.
Sheriff Combs said those booked
on the seoition charges included
Irwin Cornett and Aaron Adams of
the Hempllill district, location of
one Of the two mines operated by
Elk Horn; Sam Perry, Stanley and
Kenneth Profit and Frank Wright.
Definition of Law.
Sedition is defined in Kentucky
law as advocacy of any public dis
order designed to change the gov4
ernment, which Commonwealth S
Attorney j. A. Runyon said is pun
ishment by not more than 81 years
in prison or $4,000 fine or both.
Cornett and Adams were lodged
in the county jail here. The sheriff
said Perry was being held in an un-
disclosed Jail and that the two
Profits and Frank Wright had been
released on bonds of $4,000 each.
There was serious threat of
trouble in the county earlier in the
week." the sheriff said, adding that
things seem to nave quieted down
now"
1T was worse Thursday night, but
my men have things pretty well
under control now"
Two Mass Meetings.
Letcher County war veterans held
two mass meetings recently at
Fleming Hall, near Neon, pur-
portedly to protest Sheriff Combs
administration and the continued
presence of Deputy Sheriff Jim
Short in the county.
Deputy Short was reported to have
! left the district and the Elk Horn
miners voted to return to their jobs
on that basis, International Board
Member Tom Raney of the United
Mine Workers, announced at that
time.
! Sheriff Combs said, however, that
Deputy Short had not left, and that
he was still employed as a deputy
although he was no longer asso-
ciated with the coal company.
Besides the $50 Elk Horn en-
ployes, all the $500 miners in
Letcher shaft and truck mines SUBJ
sequently quit work in a sympathy
! strike.
Loudspeaker Used.
Sheriff Combs refused comment
on the veterans meetings other
than to say they were orderly, and
add: Real veterans in the county
wouldn't support such a movement"
A Whitesburg Legionnaire as
serted that most veterans regret
the actions of few who are caus-
ing trouble in this county"
| He added that statements he said
were made over a mobile loud
speaker unit by those involved in
the alleged agitation were pretty
