Redress of alleged wrongs growing out of what the miners say is wholesale wage cutting and repudiation of Jacksonville agreement in the bituminous coal territory has of become virtually the union's price in the anthracite fields, according to this information. Hard coal mine owners have been asserting that the miners' union such a dual alliance in adplanned of the scale negotiations which vance the miners broke off a week ago yesterday. Miners Enter Denial. Miners' officials today emphatically denied this.

They said the hard coal break has merely absolved them from their pledge to the operators to keep hard coal and soft coal problems divorced. Freed, they mean to Invoke any public tribunal appearing with jurisdiction to consider grievin the coal industry. A tribunal ances competent to intercede in behalf of hard coal consumers, they declared. should competent also to intercede bebalf of aggrieved soft coal in miners.

Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, union officials said, has not yet replied to a telegram to this effect sent by Mr.

Bitter. Philip Murray, International vice president, accordingly remained away, it WAS said, from the conference Mr. Hoover called in Washington last week to discuss reorganization of the U. S. Bureau of Mines.

Large bituminous coal operators contend that the Jacksonville agreement is impracticable because West Virginia non-union mines paying lower scale can undersell them. It is for the union miners themselves to decide whether to accept a wage reduction and remain at work, they say, or insist upon the higher scale the operators formerly agreed to pay and be idle. Up to Miners, Say Operators. The union replies the operators know that the only factor affecting production is the amount of coal the market will take. This is a fixed figure, it says, and would not be increased by a wage cut.

Such a cut, it was said, would mean reduced income for the miners. as the Jacksonville Agreement, was signed in Jacksonville, February, 1924, by the soft coal operators and miners of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and part of Pennsylvania. It renewed for three years, from April 11, 1924, the previous wage scale, and in effect "pegged" the soft coal miners' wages at the war mark for the contract period. PERSHING TO CAST DECIDING VOTE IN TACNA-ARICA ROW Arica, Chile, Aug. 12 (P)---As there was no meeting of the -Arica Plebiscite Commission yesterday the individual delegates spent the greater part of their time in lengthy discussions behind closed doors.

Agreement Seen as Probable. Officials said it was not to be expected that the first proffer of set1lement would be agreed to, calling to attention that the initial offer by Great Britain likewise had been found unacceptable, but served as a basis from which the commissions were able to reach an agreement without particular difficulty.

Before the parleys began it was indicated that Belgium might ask for a period in which there would be no payment of principal and interest and also for al separate treatment for the war and post-war debts. 5 DEAD, 2 CRAZED AS FOREST BLAZES SWEEP NORTHWEST One Fire Traveled 12 Miles in Night Area Laid Waste by Flames.

Patrick Roche of the intelligence unit of the Internal Revenue Bureau, who directed the arrest of Beach and three of his operatives, admitted a vast amount of valuable information had come from Chinese informants, but he refused to s.ly it had come exclusively from Hip Sings. Nine Chinese, alleged proprietors of opium dens, were arraigned yesterday on charges of selling narcotic drugs and released in bonds of $1,500 each. Beach Makes Admissions. Beach was also released on bail after a day of questioning, during which he was closely guarded to prevent any suicide attempt.

Roche denied that Beach made any confession, or disclosed a secret cache where $250.000 worth of narcotics were stored, but said he had made "damaging admissions."

ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER By NUNNALLY JOHNSON Two Short Spur Tracks Near McBurney's Point Sole Accomplishment of Present Administration, Charges Critic-Corpuscle. NE WORD AFTER ANOTHER 0 presents today articles the second of a series of exposing ditions in the capillary system.

They are written by an elderly corpuscle who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. The next will appear in an carly issue. How many miles of capillaries have been opened for operation during the six years of Mayor John F. Liver's incumbency? The answer is: none. Specifically, two new short spurs of capillaries, construction of which was begun during a previous administration, have gone into tion just north of McBurney's Point.

But what is McBurney's Point compared with the entire body politic! The McBurney's Point situation is entitled to a chapter of its own. Ten years ago that part of the system was undeveloped. It was a wild, rocky region, uninhabited save by Itinerants and others without visible means of support. Then, in a joker in the Cardiac Regions Development Bill, prowisions were made for two spurs of the capillary system joining with the main line running to the jugular vein, and overnight the place became a real estate speculator's paradise. Prices doubled.

tripled, quadrupled, sextetted there, and millionaires were made overnight. Many red corpuscles and not a few blue corpuscles hastened to inove in, assured of transit" to the downtown, or knee, district, and to the ears, or Coney Island, districts. Quite a colony of artistic corpuscles settled there, and presently McBurney's Point was an important part of the body. How did that joker get into the Cardiac Regions, Development Bill? Ask Eddie Corpuscle, the Boss of the Lumbar Regions! Ask Honest Henry Corpuscle, "his brother, and co-leader of the Scapular District! Let them reply! That, though, is the beginning and end of the capillary system development since Mayor John F. Liver has been in office.

Remember his campaign promises: Bigger and better arteries. More veins. Transfers from the veins to crossbody capillaries. A. five-calorie fare.

Check off the fulfillment of these promises! There are today 2,000 milesmiles, mind yo capillartes in the bodyBUT NOT ONE MORE ARTERY! The veins remain the Today it is practically impossible to get a transfer to a cross-body capil- NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

There is a short station, always crowded, so that corpuscles are constantly being shoved off the edges into the paths of onrushing capillaries, at the important Floating Rib Express Station. The situation at the Floating Rib Station, especially during the morning and afternoon rush hours, when the weary corpuscles are anxious to get home to their wives and children, defies description. Burly red corpuscles push and shove and shout.

in a manner that amazes foreigners. lot Estimates show that an average 6.700,890.000 corpuscles use the Floating Rib Station daily. The station was constructed in 1899, when the population of the body was scarcely 10,000,000,000 corpuscles, and it was even then regarded as both too short and too narrow. With the growth of the body to a great big man, who shaves and pockets and everything just like daddy, it has become a positive menace. Lives are actually in danger! And who is responsible for this situation? The same man who is responsible for the segregation of blue corpuscles and red corpuscles.

Mayor John F. Liver! The writer minces no words. The facts are there. Figures not lle. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

A rolling stone, say what you will, gathers no moss! Let him sometime go to the Floating Rib Station and see for himself. Let him note the weary faces of tired corpuscles, some of them mothers with baby corpuscles in arms. some of them laborers returning from their toil of nourishing the body, some of them 21-year-old corpuscles on their way to be adopted by elderly corpuscles who think they are 14-year-old corpuscles. Let him see them crowded in the already jammed capillaries, so tightly that the guards can barely close the doors. Let him see the suffering, the pain.

the trials and tribulations of these voting corpusclesAND THEN LET HIM SPEAK! In the next article will be told how traction interests brought about the segregation of red and blue corpuscles. The writer does not intend to be muckraker, but there certain facts which should he brought to the attention of the public, especlally in view of tne coming elections. Why are the red corpuscles favored? Why are these wealthy and influential corpuscles permitted to ride In the finely upholstered arteries, with hot and cold running water in each compartment, while the blue corpuscles are compelled to ride in the shabbier veins and the tiny capillaries?
