assumed in declining the govern-
ment’s offer of a means of instant
adjustment and the resumption of
mining.
The vote of the mine workers wa*
unanimous, it was officially an-
nounced. First, the anthracite scale
committee rejected the proposition
and then the general policy com-
mittee. A lengthy statement giv-
ing the reasons for rejecting arbi-
tration was then prepared and read
to Mr. Harding.
The miners expressed themselves
as being in favor of that part of the
president's proposal which would
create a committee to regulate the
coal industry.
The mine workers declared that
acceptance of the arbitration pro-
posals would only bring about par-
tial settlement of the difficulties.
The trouble will exist, It was
claimed, a* long as operators con-
tinued their effort to destroy col-
lective bargaining.
Millions in Booze.
More than a milliof dollars' worth
of whisky has been illegally with-
drawn from one Pennsylvania dis-
tillery alone on th* stolen permits.
Government officials* signatures
have been forged to them.
These facts explain the order of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in
the past week, that the new permit*
are not to be placed in official cir-
culation until September.
Involve* Giant Ring.
The plot to secure the permits is
declared to have been executed by
the greatest whisky ring in the
country. It involves crooks and rec-
ognised bootlegger*, importnt poli-
ticians and men of standing in New
York, Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
So many forgeries of the old form
of permits printed on ordinary pa-
per have been made that the gov-
ernment decided month* ago to
have new one* printed on govern-
ment bond paper, with serial num-
bers and confirmation duplicates.
The holder of such a permit was
to present it at a bonded warehouse
or distillery, the keeper of which

It wa* clear to observers of tie-, 29
situation that the strong indict-
ment of the railways for their non-
compliance with the law and ef-
fected a marked change i i official
sentiment regarding responsibility ,
for the strike. President Harding
tacitly admits such a change in
pointing out that such non-compli-
a nee "had not been brought to his
attention until the strike was
called." The culpability of th* l
railway managers now presents
Itself to the administration in as
important light as the sporadic
acts of violence by the strikers.
Developments leading to the
present crisis have convinced ths
president and his advisors of ths
necessity of changing the trans- J

pressed the conviction that th* act
should be amended to provid* a
fair living wage for railway work-
ers and at the same time to "put
teeth" in the decisions of the 5
railroad labor board by providing
penalties for their violation.
It is not improbable that the
president may call the house back
into session to pass such legisla-
tion. Democratic senators who
conferred with Mr. Harding today

Indorse such a move to correct J
apparent shortcomings of the pres-
ent railroad law.

ST. PAUL Minn, July 15, — Only
the refusal of eastern railroads to
reinstate striking shop craft work-
ers with their full seniority rights
is preventing a settlement of the
strike as far as the northwest roada
are concerned, declared R. A. Hen-
ning. general chairman of the fed-
erated shop craft* of the north-
west, in a statement tonight.
Mr. Henning said an areement
virtually had been concluded with
the northwest roads to return te
work pending adjustment of certain
disputed points, including wages
but that there eould be no settle-
ment except on a national basis.
“The men in this district will
stick to the finish," said Mr. Hen-
ning.
