OPERATORS STUDY 4 HIRSHS Increase for Contract Work-4 ers May Be Taken Up First in Committee Meeting. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY. N. July 11.

Operators and miners of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania will resume consideration In subcommittee this afternoon of the demands of tho employes. There was no fixed program as to which demand will be taken up. but it is expected that the one asking for increased wages for contract miners will be considered. Yesterday the operators renewed their suggestion that the minors I agree to continue work after August 31 in the event no agreement Is reached by that time, but the union leaders showed no disposition to change their position to the effect that there is plenty of time to negotiate a contract. The operators Wanted such an agreement in order to allay public apprehension that there will not be a continuous supiply of coal next fall and winter.

The miners replied that it was an unwarranted anticipation that the subcommittee could not reach an agreement by the end of and would have the effect of insuring no early agreement, as there would be no reason to hurry. While carrying on the negotiations with the anthracite operators International President Lewis of the miners I union is in touch with the coal strike situation in Nova Scotia. He has been advised that the meeting called yesterday of the district board of the Nova Scotia miners to consider his instructions to call off the strike because it was in violation of the contract with the coal company was postponed until today. It is expected that if his instructions are not speedily carried out lie will take further action. GOMPERS RAPS REPORT, Says Everything Is Against Interest.

Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation! of Labor, in commenting today on the report of the United States Coal Commission, charges that the commission, being without a representative of the mine workers, is forcing compulsory work on the miners while shielding the His criticism follows; penalties for the miners. phantom penalties for the operators, seem to be the outstanding feature in the program favored by the Fedoral Coal Commission for dealing 'With a suspension of production In the anthracite coal industry. commission, by its recomniendation. would invoke the penalty of compulsory labor upon the miners.

But for the monopolistic owners of the coal mines the commission would provide a slap on the servers dose of publicity. That would 'be only the ghost, the merest shadow, of a penalty. No Mine Worker. is plain to see that of all the on the committee not one was a representative of the coal miners. If there had been a single representative of the men who actually produce anthracite coal the commission would scarcely have recommended that the President be given full power to fix the wages to be paid the workers In the event of a suspension of mining operations.

4, attempt to outlaw the right to stop work as a means of improving the condition of the working people of the United States is doomed to fail. Such attempts have failed in the past and will be equally unsuccessful in the future. Labor will never give up the right to strike as last resort in the fight against wrong and oppression. Profits Now Greater. very fact that the commis- i slon found anthracite operators i are receiving nearly three times as large a profit as before the war is a strong argument against any at- tempt to force the miners to remain at work, year in and year out, regardless of the attitude of the mine owners.

The operators have been reaping enormous profits, yet we are told that the miners must be content with, their present wages, and must not under any conditions think of ceasing their grinding toil. A public that will permit the operators to fatten at the expense of the miners deserves little sympathy in the event of a cessation of coal mining, because If It will insist on fair play for the miners there is no danger of their striking. that the commission report had been by Attorney General Daugherty for political purposes may or may not be true. But a reading of the commission's proposals for dealing with a suspension of mining leads one to believe that it could hardly have been better calculated to win for the administration the support of the operators. the whole, the report cannot considered as constructive, though the recognition that coal Is a public utility Is a step In advance.

So also are the recommendations that anthracite dealers be compelled by Congress to make current reports to the federal government regarding costs, prices and profits In order to protect the public and that operators should combine to guarantee a standard quality of anthracite for the TO PROVE U.

Healing Gored Matador Wins Indians Over to Missionaries Thrilling experiences and dangerous situations beset the paths of those who are missionaries In the heart of South America, according to Mr. and Mrs. Orley Ford, who are visiting In Washington, and who spent six years among the Incas of Peru and the Qulchaus of Equador as Seventh-Day Adventist missionaries; There Is enough adventure In such an undertaking to thrill any one, for Mr. and Mrs. arrived among a hostile population and It was only after acting as physicians, surgeons, dentists and counselors that they won the confidence of the Indians.

Arriving at a place 300 miles In the Interior of the country with six bullocks and carts, they lived In a hut with mud walls, a straw roof and the earth as a floor, with the door as the only opening. They lived In this hut one year before they got a better house. Their first night In the hut they had helplessly drunken Indians and guinea pigs to keep them company. said Mr. Ford.

Fanatical native priests, he declared. stirred up the Indians to destroy their lives and mission station; many threats were made against them, yet they ministered medical relief to thousands of the red men and women, and never before had the Indians found a white man and woman to show such am Interest In their physical and moral welfare. am sure that my father would not put his cattle In the houses In which these people says Mr. Ford.

Preus. By the Associated Press. PAUL. July in political ranks which may affect the outcome of the July 16 United States senatorial election in Minnesota, is causing concern among various party leaders. One of the latest is the announcement of Arthur Lesuer, one of the organizers of the Non-Partisan League and for many years a worker in labor organizations, that he opposes the candidacy of Magnus Johnson, farmerlaborlte.

Lesuer criticised Mr. Johnson for voting, while a member of the state legislature, unfavorably, according to Lesuer. on several labor questions. Lesuer Is a stockholder in the Equity Co-operative Exchange, whose former president. J.

M. Anderson, has attacked Johnson's former connection with the Equity. Anderson is supporting Gov. J. A.

O. Preus, republican. Several prominent republicans have come out openly for Johnson, including Thomas Frankson, former lieutenant governor, and Julius Schmahl, former secretary of state. They are opposed to the policies of Gov. Preus.

Aaka Democratic Votes. In the democratic ranks, Daniel W. Lawler of St Paul, former democratic candidate for governor, and R. T. of St.

Paul, both prominent in party affairs in the state, have appealed to their followers to vote for Gov. Preus hi preference to the democratic candidate, State Senator James A. Carley. These democrats declare Carley will poll only a small vote and has no chance of election and that therefore the democratic voters should throw their support to Preus In an effort to beat Johnson. Earl W.

Cummins, St. Paul attorney. In a letter sent today to all attorneys in Minnesota, appealed for aid for Gov. Preus and criticised Johnson. "Trial by Jury, free speech, free press and religious are menaced by the political doctrines of Johnson, said the letter.

Announcement was made aftei 1 Assistant Attorney General Anderson had road a prepared statement assorting that the government felt that It would be "seriously prejudicial to Its rights and interests this litigation to accept the suggestion of the that testimony as to trade secrets be taken In chambeis and held Inviolate by counsel and the court. Declaring that he did not know that it was necessary for him to make any statement In these "unusual circumstances." Judge Morris said that by the ruling the government would "not be embarrassed In the trial of the case In this court, nor embarrassed In the trial of the case In any appellate court." His duty Is to protect both the government and the witness, ho-said, adding that this was the object of his ruling. Characterizing Mr.

Anderson's statement as an one Attorney Kresel, for the defense, charged In effect that the government's purpose In seeking to have Dr. Krnest H.

Anderson replied that such a charge was unworthy of notice; that "the government of the United States does lndulge In that kind of He then explained to the court that the Information sought from the witness was of such a highly technical nature that counsel could not understand It without consulting an expert. There was a suggestion that the testimony be given before a government chemist, but this was abandoned after the chemist presented to the court declined to be present on the ground that If some of his colleagues In his laboratory worked out similar processes from original research he would be placed under a cloud.
