Miners Accept Pepper's Plan te
Split Difference en Time
New Contract Is te End
OPERATORS IN CONFAB HERE
The only thine holding up the call for
ariether conference between anthracite
miners nnd operators, with possibly an
end te the Btrlke, is the prolonged con
ference the operators are holding here.
Beth sides held executive session this
morning. The miners renched their de
cision, and Jehn L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, telephoned
Senater Pepper at Washington, giving
the miners views. The moment the
opernters de the same thing the new
conference can be called.
It is known the miners are -willing te
adept the suggestion of Senater Pepper
and split the difference between the date
they have set April 1, 1024, as the,
date for ending of the new contract,
and the date the operators want April
1. 1022. If the operators agree te this
compromise, it is believed the strike
will receive its deathblow.
Sennter Pepper. In view of his con
versation with Mr. Lewis, will net
conic here from Washington today. He
can readily receive the opernters' views
ever the telephone also. The opera
tors are conferring in the offices of Wil
liam J. Richnrds. president of tne Phil
adelphia nnd Reading Ceal nnd Iren
Company. In the Reading Termlnul.
The reports reaching Washington
strengthened hope that the opernters
also would consent te the settlement
plan before the day was ever.
Senators Pepper and Reed were op
timistic ever the outlook. The two
Pennsylvania Senators Jointly author
ized the statement that ln their opTnieu
"nothing has developed" te Impair con
fidence In a settlement.
A change in the situation, bound te
be attended by important results, is
the reported willingness of the operators
te drop their demnnds for arbitration
and deal directly with -the men.
It is toward this end thnt Sennter
Pepper hns been working for the last
forty-eight hours. He has discussed
the situation thoroughly ln meetings
ln Washington with Mr. Lewis nnd
Samuel D. Warrlner, representative of
the opernters. At these private meet
ings Senater Pepper proposed a com
promise. As an essential part of this
compromise it was necessary for the
operators te agree te drop their de
mand for arbitration.
Length of Contract nn Issue
It is understood that the operators
are new willing te make this concession
for the sake of peace, and te prevent
e crnie coal famine which would wreck
Industry nnd bring hardship te count
less theusnnds.
.Tames German, of Ir.izieten. n miner,
nnd secretary of the Joint Conference
of the miners nnd operators, is nt the
Bellevue-Strntferd wnitltvg the word te
issue the cnll for a joint conference.
He said he could have the call en Its
way live minutes after he received it,
and if necessary the conferees in their
places in another half hour.
Governer Sproul is coming here to
morrow te hnve a personal hand in the
important business of getting miners
, anil operators together, tic sent .s
; secretary. .Tnmes F. McCoy, te precede
' him today and get an idea of hew the
; situation is shaping up. Mr. McCoy is
i at the Bellevue. meeting the various
persons most directly concerned in the
settlement of the strike, and gathering
1 a mass of data for the Governer.
Arbitration Demand Dropped
Confirmation of the reports current
j in mis vii.v nun H'rniers nail auan-
I dened arbitration demands was obtained
I last night in dispatches from Wllkea
, Bnrre, where the Rev. .1. J. Curran,
i pastor of St Mary's Reman Catholic
' Church, predicted the end of the strike.
Father Curran, who became famous
In the lOOJ strike, based his prediction,
he said, en telephone conversations
with Lewis. He also let it be known
that the length of contract is the only
issue remaining between men nnd
operators.
"With this slight difference between
them," he said, "the public has geed
reason te hope that the strike shall be
settled within the next twenty-four
Hours.

INTEREST IN BRYAN'S HAIRCUT
SHOWS OUR POLITICS SHALLOW
Se Insists William J., Who Says He Has It Trimmed Each
MenthHere te Make Campaign Speeches for Dr. Ellis
A geed word for prohibition, hope for
the speedy settling of the coal strike
and an emphatic insistence thnt news
writers pay mero attention te great
Issues than te his own haircut come
from William Jennings Bryan, who ar
rived nt Bread Street Station at 11
o'clock this morning.
The Commener, Jovial and in his fa
mous felt nnd straw summer hat, was
met by Dr. William T. Ellis, of Swnrth Swnrth
mere. He came here te make campaign
speeches In behalf of Dr. Ellis, who in
the Democratic and Independent can
didate for Congress in the Eighth dis
trict. Frem the station Mr. Bryan went
ever te say "Howdy" te Jehn Wana
maker. They shook hands nnd the mer
chant called Mr. Bryan "My Bible
teacher." Mr. Bryan then metered te
the Chester County Fair, where he de
livered his first address.
"The prohibition law has been en
forced less thnn three yenrs," Mr.
Bryan said, as he backed against a wall
in the Bread Street Station, "during
which time mere progress has been made
in its enforcement than there has been
made in any ether criminal law. There
is a law against stealing nutes. And
yet in New Yerk out of the 0000 stolen
last year less than half have been found.
The law against stealing was en the
statute books long before the prohibition
law was. '
Praises Prohibition Era
"When you remember that this is the
greatest moral reform cier accomplished
by law. the progress made in its en
forcement is all thnt can be expected.
Problems arise in the enforcement of
every new law, but thee will be met
and dealt with. According te Commis
sioner Haynes, mere than twelve
million persons have quit drinking
since the law has been enferred. The
amount of money spent in intoxicating
liquors had been reduced $2,000,000,000
a year. And arrests for drunkenness
have declined some two-thirds.

te the cell of Harry C. Mehr. arrested
in connection with the "Honest" .lehn
Hrunen murder. The cll of Mrs.
Bruncn, arrested in the same ease, wns
nearby, and fur a time the authorities
believed that Harned planned u jnil de

calcitrnnt prisoner simply went en a
rampage of destruction. Physicians who
c,nmined the prisoner said he was in

Harned, nhe lives in Brooklyn, wasi
arrested bv Patrolman Claypoole. He
were a khnki shirt and biceches nnd
leather beets and snid he was a captain
in the 110th Field Artillery.
Harned did net explain satisfactorily I
what he wns doing in Mount Helly and
was tnuen te tlie police stniien. He
resented this nnd expressed his disap
proval by tearing out iron bars of his
cell, the sockets of the electric lights
nnd putting the City Hall lighting sys
tem out of business.
Then he wns sent te the jail for ex
amination. This increased his wrath. He broke
n piece of iron from a fixture and diK
the hole through te Mehr's cell. Then
he twisted off the gas fixtures nnd gas
filled the entire jail.
Harned said he was gassed during the
World Wnr.

drunkards, workhouses and jails show
such an abundance of evidence of the
benefit of prohibition, that you can
easily understand there will be' no re
currence of open-wide saloons."
Mr. Bryan is sanguine about the
settling of the coal situation. He said
that the events of the last few davs
would indicate thnt cesl will be in the
homes of the country this winter.
"Ne doubt there will be a lnrge gain
in the Democratic membership of Con
gress," said the amiable Commener,
shunted for a moment te this subject.
"I think the chances nre in favor of
nn election of a Democratic Congress
but no one acquainted with politics
can overlook the possibility of issues
arising that may affect the vote ou elec
tion day."
As Mr. Bryan, arm in nrra with Dr.
Ellis, hurried te the waiting meter, he
was questioned about his recently re
ported haircut. He did net remove his
hat from his well-known locks.
He paused a moment and gazed se
verely nt the questioner.
Haircut Net an Issue
"I think," Jie snid. "it is an illus
tration of the shallowness In Knstern
politics this interest in my haircut.
It suggests the shallowness of the edl edl
teri ii ral'id which will allow its at
tention te be diverted from the great, Is
sues of the day te a man's haircut."
And Immediately the lines of his
mouth broadened te a familiar crin, as
he nddtd :
"And if they rcnlly kept in touch
with the situation, they would knew
that I get n hnlrcut every month."
After his meeting nt the Chcstet Fair,
Mr. Bryan will speak from the steps
of the Courthouse. Media, nnd in the
Sixty-ninth Street Thentre, nt C
o'clock. At 0 :30 a dinner will be given
in his honor at the Chester Club, nnd
he will close his pregrnm for the day
with an address in the Chester Armery
nt S o'clock." He will leave Philadelphia
for the Seuth tonight.
