Attorney General, in Indianap
olis, Admits He'll Consider
Dismissal of Pending Cases
Against Miners, Operators.
Indianapolis, April 11.—Harry M.
Daugherty, attorney general of the
United States, is investigating the
nationwide coal strike. Mr. Daugh
erty arrived here Monday morning.
The purpose of his visit was not re
vealed until Monday night.
Mr. Daugherty admitted that in his
investigation he will consider dismis
sal of pending cases aguinst the min
ers and operators in Judge A. B. An"
derson's court. He held a two-hour
conference with Judge Anderson late
Monday. Afterward the attorney
genera! said he was not sure a dis
missal of the anti-trust indictments
against the miners and operators
would be "advisable or pracicable" at
this time. "The government desires
to know all it possibly can,” Mr.
Daugherty said.
Not Taking Sides, But—
"It hopes to get a complete story
of the various meeting of the min
ers and operators. The government
is not taking sides but the question
we are now deciding is "who is right
or who* js, wrong?"
Approximately 50,000 non-union
giinors of the bituminous fields have
joined in the nationwide strike. John
J4. Lewis, international president of
the tlnited Mine Workers of America
said Monday. About half of the 160,
000 men in thg anthracite mines are
not members of the union but officials
of the union claim most of these are
participating in the strike. This would
make a total of 125,000 non-union
mi»i)rs out.
“We are making progress in the
non-union fields,” Mr. Lewis said.
“The union men are standing firm.”
While no exact estimate was made
of the men participating in the sus
pension it was evident from Mr. Lew
is’ statement that union officials re
gard the former estimate of 600,000 as
having been exceeded. It was said
authoritatively that the union lead
ers believe that not less than 640,000
men are participating in the walkout.
After wading through a mass of
telegrams received Monday. Mr. Lewis
said the most significant ..hange In
the situation was the success being
met in organizing the non-uaion

Washington, D. C., April 11.—Rep
resentative Burke of the House labor
committee announced Monday night

charged the public. Other govern
mental developments Monday were:
1—The House passed finally the
mine bloc's rider to the appropria
tions bill exempting labor organiza
tions and farmers from the provisions

hibiting combinations.

derson’s court .against miners and
operators for "conspiring” to fix
wagci.
3—James Lord, vice president of
the American Federation of Labor,
before the House labor commission,
charged the operators with trying to
break up the United Mine Workers.
'Rider Passed, 102 to 56.
The rider exempting labor organ
izations from the combination pro
vision of the Clayton anti-trust act
was passed on a division vote, 102
to 56. This amendment had been a
rider to the appropriation bill for
years, anjl wfien Floor Leader Mon
dell opposed its reinsertion Friday,
the miners’ bloc, led by John I. Nolan,
republican leader of the House labor
committee, and himself u former labor
leader in California, fought -for its
retention.
After the House labor committee
had heard testimony Monday from
mine workers' officials. Representa
tive Burke, member of the committee
and one of-the "Big Four’" railroad
workers’ chiefs, announced that he
would move an amendment to the
Bland bill calling on the president to
appoint a commission to investigate
the coal industry, a proposal to make
the mine owners show their books to
reveal their profits.
“I intend to show that high profits,
not high wages, are to blame for the
high price of coal the public has to
pay," he said.
James Lord, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
charge of the mine department, de
I dared that the operators had forced
the strike as part of a general drive
since the armistice to break up or
ganized labor.

tlie use uf cucumbers. It stated, peel j
off the cucumber, slice It, pepper It, j
put vinegar to It, and then throw It
out of the window. It is, of course,
difficult to account for tastes; but this
rather suggests advice prompted by
an enfeebled digestion. The cucumber

they said: "We remember the fish
