Sees Menance in Big Wages
.Delegates were warned by Jnnies II.

e danger of present high wages.
J "The rest of the world is beginning
to produce again and selling nt a lower

fon," Mr. Herrou warned, "they will
be supplying us with goods cheaper
than we can produce them for our

"The worker who demands a six or
Bven-hour day with a laggard speed in
production and demands a high wage
Of return for his short day and slow
vvork, in the fuce of conditions us they
are today, is no less than a traitor to
his country."
J The speaker asserted labor agitators
were partly responsible for tho present
unrest, added:
i "There would be no wrong iufluencc
lp the atmosphere today, no labor agi
tators, or false leaders, if the employers
hhd only led their own men as they
should have led them, instead of ex
ploiting them "

having driven by automobile from
Philadelphia in order that they might
free something of the anthracite region.
They are Dr. William O. Thompson,
president of the Ohio State University,
who represents the public .and is the
chairman of the commission ; W. L.
Connell, of this city, who represents the
operators, and Neal Kerry, of Wllkes

either for those who labor to produce
(oal or those who use it for domestic
or other purposes."
The anthracite miners' demands were
Ftimmarized by Vice President Murray
as follows :
establishment of a mlmimum living
wage of $0 u day for ndult workers.
Increase of $1 a day to all men who
receive nbove the minimum.
Increase of 111 per cent on all con
tract rates.
Extension of the eight -hour day to
those occupations based on a louger
work day. such as engineers, pumpmen
and stablemen.
Standardization of rates of pay for
the same work throughout the field.
Sacrifice Interests for Public Good
Formal recognition of the United
Mine Workers of America.
Mr. Murray dulared the miners had
remnined nt work since the beginning
of the coutrover-j m March, preferring
to suffer individual hardships rather
than bring about general suffering to the
public.
"Throughout this period of more than
three months the representatives of the
United Mine Workers hnve icali7cd the
importance of continuous production,"
Mr. Murray s.ud. "They have ulso been
keenly conscious of the far-reaching iu
dustnul results which would result from
a stoppage of work. The constant effort,
then fore, bus been to prevent a threat
ened breakdown in this Industry which
would undoubtedly cuuse general dis
tress to the public and be attended by
sciioii', and widespread dislocations in
other Industries which are dependent on
the anthracite coal industry. We have
constantly stiiven. therefore, even to
the impairment of our own iuterests.
to prevent any rupture of industrial
peace or any interference with the con
tinuity of production.
"We can prove fioin official data that
there is no relation between labor cost
of mining anthracite and the exorbltniit
price w Inch is being exneted from the
consumer; or, iu other words, thut the
rates of paj of anthracite mine work
c n nre not the determining factor In

ton, with thnt city as his objective. The
lieutenant said that when n high alti
tude was reached the wind would prob
ablv be favorable for his projected trip.
The big balloon, however, went over
the city in un nlmost opposite direction
nnd was still continuing in thnt course
when last sighted.
The gas from the big observation
balloon 'which has attracted much at
tention each day during ihe company's
stay hero as it hovered over the Park
way ' was transferred to tho spherical
balloon, No. 17, which made the flight.
When deflated the observation balloon
was loaded upon oue of the army
trucks.
After tho balloon's departure Lieu
tenant B. C. Cook broke camp and pro
ceeded with tho company In motor
trucks to Camp Dix, where the equip
ment will be used to give the West

Lloutcnant Holland said that the
campaign for recruits hnd been a suc
cessful one. During the last two weeks
twenty-six young men hnve enlisted in

REQUEST FOR RISE IN
GAS PRICE DENIED
New Jersey Utilities Board
Holds Proposed Schedule Is
Impractical
Trenton, June 24. Declnring that an
oil differential clause proposed to be
applied by the Public Service Gas Co. to
its existing rnte for gas sold is unjust
nnd unreasonable, the New Jersey Pub
lic Utilities Commission today an
nounced its disapproval of the amended
rnte.
The commission stated in n report on
its decision in the case that "the un
certainty both ns to tho supply nnd
price of gas is too well known to re
quire discussion. It is manifest that
the existing nnd future condition nre
uncertain. The cost of manufacture
per 1000 cubic feet of gas furnished
by the company was ascertained in the
original investigation of the rates in
which the rate was fixed by this board
at ninety cents per 1000 cubic feet.
"When the present rate was fixed, it
wns ascertained by merely adding the
known increased costs over those in the
former ense. Oil Is one of the large
factors in the manufacture of gns and,
with the base already found nnd used
by the bonrd in the former cases, nny
fluctuation in the price thereof from the
lust base price used could bo applied
either upward or downwnrd. A varying
price would result. In theory, such a
method would appear to be sound. The
resulting uncertainty to the consumer
ns to the price to be chnrged would,
however, muke it impractical anil
probably "cause much confusion nnd nn
noynncc." SEEK LOST BOY HERE

Londonderry, Juno 21. More British ,
troops have arrived in this city and
their greater activity in efforts to pro-,
tect life nnd property has had a quiet-
jing effect. Only occasional shots were
I heard nfter midnight this morning. Two
I snipers hnve been nrrcstcd by the sol
diers.
Besides actually ntUckiug snipers
with nrmorcd cars and machine guns,
British troops hnve done much rescue
work; When it wns reported Inst night
, thnt Jho Sinn Fclncra were about to
attack) a cluster of houses armored cars
wero nishcd to the scene and the troops
'rcmovel terrified women nnd children
to a section of town where Nationalists
prcdominnte. The gas works have nisp
been protected by armed men.
Only Occasional Shots Now
Aside from nn occasional shot by n
sniper, there wns no firing up to early
this aftnrnoou. The gas supply ceased
at fi o'clock this morning nnd the in
habitants in some ejections were left in
a serious plight, without fuel, light or
bread.
A barber was killed this morning by
the bullet of n sniper who was firing
at long range. John McKinney, who,
was wounded yesterday, died today.
The bodv nf n cnmmftrcinl traveler,
which -was lying in the street wher
he wns killwl Tuesday, was recovered
eliirlner tho fnrennnn.
Wire barricades nnd trees' hnve been
thrown across the main road of London
derry by factionnlists, apparently in nn
effort to hnmper the troops. Come of
the telegraph nnd telephone lines lending
into the town hnve been rut.
A number of Sinn Iclncrs roanuea
up by the military had arms nnd plenty
of Ammunition. They were handed over
to the police. Among those nrrestod
was n priest, but he was released.
The destroyer which arrived in the
River Foyle jesterday wns forced to
change its berth enrlv this morning be
cause snipers were firing nt the war
ship. ' ,
-Terror held sway here yesterday and
Inst night, rifle and machine gun fire
sweeping the streets in the fiercest
fighting to develop thus fnr in the civil
war which began last Friday between
Unionist nnd Nntionnlist forces.
Forces Massing for Attack
The .number of killed nnd injured dur
ing the dny hfld not been determined,
ns it hns been impossible to rench the
scene of the veritable pitched battles.
It is believed, liowcver, there were
scores .of victims. Hospitals are taxed
to capacity.
Rumors of the most alarming char
acter aro current. Nationalist forces
arc baid to be gathering to tho north
west of the city preparatory to an
attack, while Unionist adherents enter
ing the town arc being collected for a
grim defense of the place.
Men en paired in actual fighting nre ex
tremists of the contending factions and
probably number only a few hundred.
They absolutely terrorized the city yes
terday, however, as they fired volleys
down the streets from barricades they
had erected, or, posted on roofs or in
windows, shot nt almost every one who
dared to appenr.
City Is Facing Starvation
Bishop street, a long thoroughfare
running southwestwnrdly from the
Town Hall, has been the principal bat
tleground during the last twenty-four
hours. Sinn Feincrs hnve concentrated
near St. Columbkill's College, about
three-quarters of a mile out this street,
while the Unionists linvp taken up po
sitions near the center of town und
hnve erected sandbag breastworks iu
Barrack street.
Between .Bishop street nnd the River
Fovle, to tlV east, there nre a number
of narrow, crooked streets in which
there hnve beem fierce encounters.
Londonderry is facing starvation if
the fighting continues. It is impossible
to deliver supplies to houses nnd no
one dares to venture out of doors in
the business section of town. Fearing
further disorders, hundreds of people
hnve left the city for the bouth.
