4 PASSIVE POLICY TO BE MAINTAINED BY OPERATORS Will Take Definite Action Later on the Commission Named by Wilson Torre Haute. Ind., Dec. 23.—The coal operators of the Central Competitive field will maintain a "passive, policy" in regard to the personnel of the com mission appointed by President Wil son to investigate the coal situation and the miners' wage controversy, and will determine thir attitude later, ac cording to a statement by Phil H. Penna, spokesman for the operators of the Central field during recent ne gotiations between the operators and miners. Asked for his opinion as to the fit ness of the persons named on the com mission by the President. Mr. Penna said: "The Central Competitive district operators and miners having been tho participants in all the wage negotia tions up to this time, and the opera tors in the other sections having agreed tc accept their conclusions, we feel that any commission appointed should be composed of men from this district and all of our propositions to arbitrate our difficulties, were made on this assumption. Tho President thought otherwise and in my opinion has mude a good selection." By Associated Press Washington, Dec. 23. Attorney General Palmer in a statement last night denied tho assertions made yes terday by the operators whose posi tion no characterized us "the merest quilihii- and quite unworthy of the rpresentatives of a great industry." The operators, the Attorney General said, from the beginning had been clamoring for arbitration and had stated repeatedly their willingness to conform to any plan which the Presi dent might suggest.

Special a " e ce •• • jlj TUESDAY" EVENING., LOCAL MERCHANTS SEE NO GOOD IN PRICE MARKINGS PROPOSED BY PALMER Harrisburg merchants take excep tions to the plan of Attorney Oen eral Palmer for the marking of all goods with the wholesale prices, un less the practice of cost markings go all the way back to the producer. They say that the plan would dis criminate against the retail merchant who is at the mercy of the jobber, the wholesaler and the producer in the way of prices, and while it might stop the small amount of profiteering known to exist among retailers, it would have no effect on the unseen, and therefore more prone tQ offend, wholesaler, jobber and manufacturer. It would be fair if it went all the way back to the prodycer, one of the merchants said, but the Attorney General will have to enlarge his plan unless it is to work injustice to the retailor or to accomplish any good. Especially do the local merchants take exceptions to the statement of the Attorney General that the re tailers buy shoes for $4.50 and sell them for $lB. C. J. Crego, of the Crego shoe stjOre. said that there has never been so unfair a proposition made by Mr. Painter. "Why is it necessary to focus all tire burden on the retail ers," said Mr. Crego, "when it is quite obvious that if there is any profiteering it is farther back than the retailor and manufacturer." John Kjelley, of the Kelloy shoe store, deplaned he believed Mr. Pal mer could prove his statement that there were stores doing business in a profiteering manner, but those stores are certainly the exception and not the ride. "It is absolutely impossible for the retailer to make any more profit than before the war at the present manu facturer's price of shoes, and in many cases profits are falling away below pre-war figures," he said. Herbert Parthemore, manager of th local Walkover branch, also de clared tho statement of Mr. Palmer unjust. William H. Bennethum, manager of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, one of the city's largest department stores, said the declaration was the "most unfair, unjust and unreason able idea that had yet been put forth." "Mr. Palmer has placed some very peculiar plans for bringing down prices before the public," said Mr. I'.ennethum, "and I fail to see how he expects to make successes of them. Various business concerns do business on different scales, and have different overhead expenses, so that lie cannot hope to standardize prices regardless of other circumstances. It is an absurd idea." I J. William Bowman, of Bowman 'and Company, said that the purpose of such a law would defeat itself. "If buyers come into a store, un der the new law, and see a coat, or a hat, or a pair of shoes with the wholesale mark on them radically lower than the price asked by the retailer, they will immediately set up a great edy of 'gouging,' never stopping a minute to think of the middleman who may have handled the article between the producer and the retailor, or considering the over head expenses of the retailer him self. "How many people who throng the stores doing their Christmas shopping now ever stop to think of the expenses of a store, of the sal aries of the clerks, the depreciation of property, the insurance, advertis ing, everything which makes up the expense of running a retail estab lishment? If the marking of prices law is to be put through, why not have ALL prices marked up from the time the raw materinl is secured until the finished goods appears on the retailer's counters? And in ad dition let the overhead expenses of a store be plainly marked on the lit tle card." Nachmann and Hirsh, of the Hub, another Market street clothing store, declared that the law was impos sible. "Production is the watchword," said Mr. Hirsh, "and no amount of evading the issue is going to help bring down the high cost of living. A little less talk and a little more work would solve the difficulty." "No more unfair scheme could be imagined." said Joseph Strouse, of William Strouse's New Store. "There is no reason why the retailer alone should bear the burden of being accused of profiteering. Why not adopt the Canadian system, which attaches a card to every raw product, and ench succeeding agency handling that product must clearly mark its .price upon it. Thus the public can see just what the article costs from raw material to ultimate consumer." COMMONS I'ROROGVED London, Dec. 23. The House of Commons was prorogued to-day until February 10.

Premier Lloyd George has rejected several pro posals—first, that the whole of Ul ster should form a unit; second, county option; third, that the six northeastern counties should form a single unit—all on the same ground, that solid sections of the population would be left under a government they disliked. Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster lender, in the subsequent debate yes terday on the Irish question, de clined to believe that the bill would prove a success or for the good of Ireland, but he would not give a pronounced opinion until ho had seen it in print. He feared that the Sinn Fein would capture the Parlia ment and proclaim a republic, and asked what the government would do then. Sir Donald MncLean said he thought there was no idea of ven geance In the Premier's speech, and believed that it was the Premier's intention to adopt no more repres sive measures in Ireland. To Await Labor Report Arthur Henderson said that the Labor party would wait for the re port of their mission now investi gating conditions in Ireland, before arriving at a definite conclusion. But, he declared, if the bill passed, it could only be regarded as a half hearted and unsatisfactory compro mise. Briefly the government's project is to set up two parliaments in Ire land—one for the Catholics in the south, and the other for the Protest ants of the north and east, with a council selected from both which it ts hoped eventually will bring about a union of the whole country under a single parliament The proposed legislatures are promised very extensive powers and ample concessions, while the finan cial proposals are regarded as gen erous. Moreover there are induce ments to still further concessions and to a united parliament for the whole country. Would Fight Revolt Ireland, said the Premier yester day, was the only country in Europe except Russia where the classes who elsewhere were on the side of law and order were out of sympathy with the machinery of the govern ment. Any attempt at secession, the Pre mier announced, would be fought with the same determination, force and resolution as had been shown by the Northern States in America. The two legislatures to be cre ated in Ireland, the Premier said, would be clothed with full con stituent powers to create a single Irish legislature to discharge all powers not specifically reserved to the Imperial Parliament. The Premier said that the Irish contribution to the Imperial serv ices was estimated at 18,000,000 pounds annually. A Joint exchequer board would settle the rate of con tribution for the future and the question of taxable capacity. It was proposed to place 1,000,000 pounds at the disposal of each of the two parliaments to cover the initial ex penditure. The representation of Ireland at Westminster, Mr. Lloyd George an nounced, would be reduced under the proposed measure to forty mem bers, as in the act of 1914. Admits Many Mistakes Reviewing the position of Irish affairs, he said that nobody in Ire land wanted the act of 1914. In the existing circumstances no possible scheme for Irish home rule was uni versally acceptable, and parliament must assume the responsibility and propose what it thought fair and just. A settlement would be found, not in the enactment, but in the work ing of a home rule scheme. He ad mitted that plenty of mistakes had heen made on both sides; there were also follies and crimes. "Rut," he added, "we want that chapter closed—not to ask who is to blame, but to set matters right." The government's new bill pro vides, briefly, for the creation of two legislatures in Ireland, with full constituent powers to create a sin gle Irish legislature to discharge all powers not specifically reserved to the Imperial Parliament. A clause in the bill will protect the rights of minorities. The question of uniting these two Irish legislatures Into one body rests with the Irish people, the consent of the Imperial Parlia ment not being required. Clemenceau. President of France, Deputies Believe liy Associated Press PnrlK, Dec. 22.—That Georges Clem enceau may be the next president of the French republic is the consensus of opinion in the Chamber of Depu ties despite the Premier's veto on his candidacy. Several members of the chamber are resolved to place his name to the fore, and are positive they can count Upon the support of 450 members of the chamber and 150 senators. Caston .Vidal, Henry Pate, and Pierre Rameil told The Associated Press this afternoon they would nom inate Clemenceau and said they felt sure of success in spite of 'the Pre mier's repeated utterances that he would not enter the race for the presi dency.

The mercury will rise to-night and its rise will be accompanied by cloudy weather. The weather to-morrow will be unsettled, according to the advance Information of Mr. Demain, and tills forecast may mean most anything. We may have nice weather on the great festive occasion, but then again we may not. Residents of the Harrisburg district were to-day greeted by a pleasing spectacle this morning when they awoke. Every where they looked, the trees stood forth in shining array, well cloaked with a heavy layer of hoar frost which fell during the night. Old Sol's efforts until early this after noon apparently had not affected the cloaks of these trees. Kivcr IN Icebound The Susquehanna River throughout this section is almost altogether ice bound.
