OPERA TORS OF
4 NONUNION MINES
REJECT PARLEY
Hold Their Participation Might Be
Construed as Acceptance of
Principles of Unionism
GARFIELD WARNS DELEGATES TO
START WITHOUT COMMITMENTS
By Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 14.—Holding that their participation
might be construed as acceptance of the union principle, opera
tors of non-union coal mines outside of the central competitive
fields announced here to-day after a conference that they prob
ably would not accept the invitation of Secretary Wilson to take
part in the conferences between-union miners and operators to
begin here to-day.
The outp.ut of the nonunion mines is approximately 100,000,-
000 tons or one-sixth of the nation's annual production.
The first snag the confere'nce will run on will be the unwilling
ness of the operators outside f>f the competitive field to enter into
negotiations for another nation-wide agreement similar to the
Washington wage agreement, ma do during the war.
That agreement, negotiated by Fuel Administrator Garfield,
was the first to fix the same date for the expiration of contracts
1 ret ween operators and miners in all parts of the country. Oppo
sition was expressed to the continuance of this arrangement be
cause it gave the union officials power to call nation-wide strikes
Without Commitments
Success of the conference of coal
miners and operators depends on all
parties coming into the parley "with
out commitments," Fuel Adminis
trator Garfield said to-day.
Dr. Garfield arrived here this
morning at the invitation of Secre
tary Wilson, who desires his assist
ance in the conference which will
begin this afternoon with the labor
secretary presiding.
Although the strike of miners has
been called off, Dr. Garfield retains
all the wartime powers which the
President again conferwui on him
when the strike was called.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
and the union scale committee and
other union officials arrived here to
day.
The question of the termination of
the Washington wage agreement of
1918 can be disposed of through mu
tual agreement along with the de
mands of the miners for a sixty per
cent, increase in pay and shorter
hours, it was believed.
Announcement by the executive
committee of the operators of the
central competitive field, in a for
mal statement last night that the
Washington agreement is one of the
matters "to be determined by the
conference" was taken generally to
mean that the operators do not in
tend to stand pat on their conten
tion that present contracts remain
in effect.
The statement disclaimed that the
message from T. T. Brewster, presi
dent of the Coal Operators' Associa
tion in the central competitive fields,
inviting the miners to a conference
"to negotiate a contract to be in
force upon the termination of the
contract now in effect" was an at
tempt to "entrap the miners into a
tacit acknowledgment" of the bind
ing force of the contracts, and point
ed out that the text of the telegram
was almost identical with that of the
call for the Buffalo conference.
Garfield to Be Present
Miners arriving here to-day for
the parley attached significance to
the announcement by Secretary of
Labor Wilson that Fuel Administra
tor Garfield had accepted his invi
tation to be present at the opening
of the conference.
The conference will begin at 2.30
o'clock owing to the fact that John
L. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
and other participants will not arrive
before that time.
The first question to come before
the conference will be whether the
proceedings shall be open. Secre
tary Wilson said he will recommend
that newspaper representatives be
admitted to the conference hall.
M list Not Restrict Output
In keeping with his recent an
nouncement that operators as well
as miners attempting to restrict the
output of roal would be prosecuted.
Attorney General Palmer yesterday
sought further information about
companies at Birmingham, Ala.,
which the miners claim have dis
charged and turned back men who
were returning to work in compli
ance with the court order of Judge
Anderson.
The Attorney General's request
for information was sent after he re-

MAUK'S CASE IS
PUT IN HANDS
OF JURYMEN
Prosecution Is Pressed by the
Brother of Man Said to Have
Received Shoddy Funeral
With the close of President Judge
George Kunkel's charge to the jury
in the false pretense case against
Charles H. Mauk, a city undertaker,
the panel retired from the court
room and may agree upon a verdict
before court adjourns late this after
noon.
Mauk, it is alleged, was directed
to conduct the funeral of Howard
H. McCracken, and was paid by
Millard W. McCracken, of Altoona,
a brother of the dead man, to fur
nish a casket and a shroud and bury
the body in the East Harrisburg
cemetery. It is charged that Mauk
buried the body in a rough pine
box instead, and when the body was
exhumed it was found that the man
had been buried wearing a suit of
underwear.
John R. Geyer and John E. Fox
represented Mauk during the trial
yesterday afternoon and to-day, with
District Attorney Michael E. Stroup
as the prosecuting attorney. Mr.
Geyer and Mr. Stroup addressed the
jury this morning after all the testi
mony was heard, and Judge Kunkel
began his charge when court eon
-1 vened this afternoon.
Charges Separate
Efforts to try two cases against
Mauk at one time failed. District
Attorney Stroup called both cases,
but counsel for Mauk objected and
secured separate trials. After the
Commonwealth had called all the

for discussion of the demands of the
four railroad brotherhoods for re
vision of working conditions, which
have been in progress between tho
brotherhood chiefs and Director Gen
eral Mines all week, appear to-day
to be nearing an end. Railroad
administration officials believed all
arguments would hate been complet

indication, however, whether Mr.
Mines would give an immediate an

The principal question remaining
in dispute is the demand of the
brotherhoods for time and a half

service. Labor leaders admitted this
to he the pivotal point, but they
seemed to feel that a settlement was
in sight.

Police Permit Sale
of Malt Beverages With
Four Per Cent. Alcohol
By .Issnciatcd Press.
Providence, R. 1., Nov. 14.—The
police commission to-day decided to
act under the preliminary injunction
granted by Federal Judge Arthur!
Brown, against enforcement of the
wartime prohibition act, and to al
low the saloons to sell malt beverages
containing not more than 4 per cent,
alcohol without interference. This
attitude was taken upon advice of (
the city solicitor.
The commission announced that
while the police department would
not gather any evidence of sales, the
dealers would have to assume all
responsibility. The dealers all have
licenses under the act passed by the
last session of the general assembly,
which permits them to be licensed
for the sale of "nonintoxieating
beverages containing not more than
4 ner cent, of alcohol."
j Upon the announcement of the
commission's decision, nearly all the
saloons opened again to-day.
Tn -Pawtucket many liquor deal
ers were openly seling 4 per cent,

sioners said they do so on their own
responsibility.

Article Ten of Covenant and
Reservation Adopted by Senate
Washington, Nov. 14. —Article Ten of the League of
Nations covenant in the Peace Treatv and the Lodge reser
vation, adopted by the Senate late vesterdav, follow:
I he members of the league undertake to respect and
preserve as against external aggression the territorial integ
rity and existing political independence of all members of
the league, in case of any such aggression, or in case of
any threat or danger of such aggression, the council shall
advise upon the means by which this obligation shall he ful
filled."
LODGE RESERVATIC)N
1 lie United States assumes no obligation to preserve
the territorial integrity or political independence of any
other country or to interfere with controversies between na
tions—whether members of the league or not —under the
provisions of Article Ten, or to employ the military or naval,
torces of the United States under any article of the Treaty
for the purpose, unless in.any particular case the Congress,
which under the Constitution has the sole power to declare
war or authorize the employment of the military or naval
forces of the United States shall by act or joint resolution
so provide."
1 he vote was 46 to 33. This is the reservation which
President \\ ilson declared "cut the heart out of the coven
ant." and amounted to a rejection of the Treaty. Senator
Lodge presented a petition of cloture to apply until the final

hour. It will be acted on Monday.
The Senate was adjourned to-day because of the funeral

TEACHER'S LOYALTY
VOUCHED FOR AFTER
RUMOR STIRS SCHOOL
Pleasant View Stirred by Rumors of Pro-Germanism Which
Are Denied by School Officials Who Say Flag Was
Not Torn Down Nor Pupil Injured
The American flag has not been
desecrated by the teacher of one of
the grades of the Pleasant View
schools, nor have any of the pupils
been brutally treated as has been
reported, according to vigorous con
tentions ot the officials of the schools
to-day.
These statements of the school
officials vary widely from the stories
which have circulated throughout
Pleasant View and the hill section
of Harrisburg. These latter reports
tell of the gravest of desecrations
and of the most brutal treatment of
pupils.
The American flag proudly shows

To continue collections of ashes

The funds for the collection work
are almost exhausted and will not
last longer than two weeks at the
most, he said. At present numer
ous complaints are being received
that the collections are not being

but this has been due to the in

capacity of five cubic yards, will be

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 14. Two
local distilleries sold whisky openly
in Louisville to-day at $75 a case,
regardless of the wartime prohibi
tion law. Hundreds of orders, filed
before July 1, when the wartime
law went into effect, it was said, were
being filled by these distilleries,
which resumed sales following the
granting of an injunction to them
yesterday by Federal Judge Evans,
restraining the Government from in
terfering with the sale of nearly a
million gallons of "floor stock"
whisky.
Wright and Taylor and the Brown.
Forniun Companies, which received
the temporary injunctions, expected
to sell all their whisky in a hurry,
it was announced. They made their
sales, however, with the knowledge
that they are liable to prosecution,
according to District Attorney W. V.
Gregory, if the Federal Supreme
Court reverses Judge Evans in a de
cision it is expected to make Novem
ber 20.
Other Distillers Wait
Other Kentucky distillers appar
ently were disposed not to ask for
injunctions and would await the Su
preme Court's decision as to the war
time prohibition law's constitution
ality before trying to dispose of their
whisky stocks, all of which is said
to approximate 40,000.000 gallons.
' The case before the Supreme Court
was appealed to It by the Govern
ment from a previous decision of
Judge Evans, who held both the war
time law and the enforcement acts
were unconstitutional and granted
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house Company an injunction forbid
ding interference by the Government
with the sale of nearly 60,000,000
gallons of whisky.
