OPERATORS CLASH
LI
Union Head Asks if Men Are to
Be Penalized for Big War
Production
MAY APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Sprclnl nitpnlrh fo Kvtntfo Public l.tAotr
Seranton. July 0. During today's
session of the nnthrncitc coal commis
sion, after S. .T. Warringer, president
of the T.chlgh Conl nnd Nnvlgntlou Co..
had referred to high wages made by the
mine workers during the war. Thomns
Kennedy, president of the' miners' union
In the Hnzlcton district, asked this
ipiestion of the operators :
"If the mine workers are to be
penalized for working to their last limit
to produce a record amount of conl dur
ing the war, would we not bo justified
In ordering our men to return nt once
to production ns of 1014?"
Wnrriner nnswered that he wns not
under examination.
"This question will be nsketl again
nnd we will insist-on an answer," suld
Kennedy.
The decision on the admissibility of
evidence In support of the miners'
charges that the operators are profiteers
is expected to come this afternoon. The
miners' threat to appeal tn President
Wilson 4 unless privileged to introduce
this evidence may be n deciding factor
in the decision.
During the sessions jesterdny nfter
noon nnd this morning there were mnuy
spirited I'lnHhes between representatives
of the mine workers nnd the operators.
lly the ruling of the commission, nn
answer made nt one time bj President
Wnrriuer tn n question nsked by a mine
worker wns stricken from the records.
At another. 'Wnrriner wns advised by
V. L. Council, operators' representative
on the commission, to withdrn.w uu ex
hibit he had presented.
After he had presented the exhibit,
Wnrriner refused to be examined rel
ative to it. Iioth sides have masses of
figures jet to present nnd it does not
seem likely now that the decision will
come within n sixty-day limit. After
the evidence hns been presented nnd
arguments mnde, the commission will
return to Washington nnd frame Its
verdict.

tho American nrm'y and served twenty
five months in France, where he was
gassed and shell -shocked, nt 1 o'clock
this morning at Fifth and Pine streets,
charging that he hnd been Involved In
n murder in New Tork.
The young woman also told the po
lice thnt she suspected him of having
been concerned In tho shooting of a
commissioned officer jn France nnd of
n negro in the South. She asked his
"IT?1' " "l'' beMtuso she was afraid
of him and believed he wns Insane. ,,
The soldier gave his name as Jack
"dslw i nnd his nddrcss as New York.
Mrs. Welsh lives nt n Filbert street
hotel and is with n theatrical com
pnny. A detective assigned to the New York
tenderloin district said thnt last month
a Mrs. Welch hnd called on the district
attorney, telling him her husband hnd
murdered a man In the subway. On
Investigation this story wns found "de
void of fact," according to New York
nutliorities, who added the nuthorltics
here would be requested to release
Welch ns far ns New York police in
terests are concerned.
Mrs. Welsh followed (he soldier
through the streets early this morning.
At Fiftli and IPne streets she saw n
patrolman of tho Third nnd De Lnncey
streets station. She cried "murder"
nnd the pntrolmnn came on the run. She
demanded that the soldier, who was in
uniform, though .recently discharged
from the Array, bo arrested. She later
accompanied her husbnnd to Central
Station.
Mrs. Welsh told her story to De
fectives C'lnrk nnd Engle. She mnrried
Welsh, sho said, In New York about
n month ngo. He ,wns convalescing
from gns nnd shell shock. He had been
In the army for thirteen years.
In January, she said, there was n
brnwi in New York in which her hus
band took part. One of thn men In
the fight, she said, wns knocked down
and Inter died from the blow. She did
not know the details of the other shoot
ings in which sho suspected her hus
band had been concerned.
The detectives telephoned to the Thirty-seventh
precinct in New York nnd

Buy Oils that Save Gasoline
You economize in two ways when
you use Atlantic Motor Oils. They
cut down resistance, prevent gummed
parts and turn all your gasoline into
miles traveled. And that thin film of
protecting oil puts friction and worn
bearings way off in the back ground.

ATLANTIC
MOTOR OILS
Don't worry about the best kind for your
motor. It'a good business Judgment to say
"Atlantic Polarlne" or "Atlantic, Medium."
Then you have the best no matter what
