Is Asked in
Mine Case
Attorneya for Coal Companiri
File Petition in Famous
Coronarlo Suit Against
Labor Unions.
Misconception Claimed
Washington, Aug. Jt.-ffiy A. P.)
1'etition for rehearing of the fam
ous Coronarlo coat case, in which
the United Slates supreme court re
cently laid down a far-reaihing con
struction of the rights of organized
labor, although not incorporated, was
filer) with the court by Jyhn W, Da
vis, as counsel for the coal com
panies involved. N'o action will be
taken on the petition until the court
reconvenes in October,
The original proceeding was a civil
suit insituted by the Coronarlo and
other coal companies against theUnit-
ed States Mine Workers of Amerirs
district 21, and local unions ol that
organization and individual members
for treble damages caused by de
struction of property during the
strike of 1916. 1 he supreme court
in a decision rendered June 5. 19J2
sustained contentions of the coal
companies that the mine workers'
union and other unincorporated la
bor organizations were suable, but
set aside the award of damages made
by the lower federal courts.
Mistake Charged.
"Essential mistakes and miscon
ceptions of the facts by the supreme
court were stated as grounds for
a rehearing, the petition asserting
that when the principles of law an
nounced by the court are applied to
the facts actually appearing in the
record, the judgment aeainst dis
trict 21, as rendered by the lower
courts, must be affirmed and prob
acy also the judgment against the
United Mine Workers of America
The supreme court ct aside the
award of damages on the ground that
the national union of the United
Mine Workers had not been shown
to have authorized or participated in
the strike and because the evidence
did not warrant the jury in finding
that the olticials ol district No. 21
were actuated by an intent to restrain
or monopolize interstate commerce
The jury which heard the evidence,
the petition for rehearing pointed out,
had rendered a verdict against the
United Mine Workers and other de
fendants, and the judge who heard
the evidence and saw the witnesses
stated that the evidence established
"overwhelmingly" that "district 21
had been actuated, primarily and
solely" by an intent to restrain inter
state commerce.
Cardinal Issue.
The "cardinal" issue in the ca?e is
stated to be that of intent, and "to
demand that it (intent) shall be
shown by open declarations of those
concerned," the petition asserted, "is
to require what can rarely be sup
plied in any proceeding, least of all
in one involving a conspiracy.
Voluminous evidence is contained
in the record of the case, the petition
declared, "showing that over a long
series of vcars, as a result of practi
cal experience with the menace of
open shop competition, there had
been firmly implanted through the
organization (United Mine Workers),
including all the officers and mem
bers of district 21, the basic idea
that, by whatever means, the ship
ment of open shop coal should be
prevented," and it pointed out as
significant "that each of the occa
sions when the property was attacked
coincided with actual preparation by
the cevmpanics for the immediate
shipment of coal."

French Accept Proposa
Paris. Aug. JI.-(IJy A. P.) -The
reparations commission Ute today
unanimously accepted the Pcigun
compromise on the German nioia
toriutit proposition,
1 lie solution thin arrived at. al
though not technically a moratorium,
has the same effect at a moratorium
in that Germany it relieved of cash
payments tor the remainder ol Vtil,
with the provision that the payments
due in VtZi will be discussed and de
cidrd later in the year.
President Poincare tonight accepted
the decision of the reparations com
mission in favor of the Belgian com
promise on -the German repcrations
question after the Belgian govern
ment had assured 'mm that the ar
ranirement was very satisfactory.
The premier's approval wat con
ditional upon a German gold deposit
sufficient to guarantee the deferred
payment! involved in the Belgian
plan, This was said to have been
assured.
M. Dubois, the French member of
the comission, voted with his col
leagues after a long interview be
twren sessions with I'remier loin
care.
The acceptance of the new propo
sals by France probably will rt
move the threat of a separate mili
tary action in the Kuhr. Premier
Poincare throughout the negotiations
has indicated that a failure of the
allied powers to come to an agree
ment on the German terms would
result in further occupation of Rhine
territory by l-rench forces, and al
though possibility of such action still
remains it is regarded as removed
from the realm of probabilities by
today s agreement.

Provisions of Soldiers' Bonus Bill,
Passed by Senate Vote Thursday
Washington, Aug. Jl As amend-
ed by the senate, the soldier s bonus
bill would become effective January

t-onal plant for veterans ol the world
war other than those whose adjusted
service f)ay would exceed $50. There
would be paid in tath. The options
are:
Adjusted service certificates, pay
able in 20 years or sooner at death
and containing loan provisions,
Vocational training aid at the rate
of $1.75 a day up to a total of 140
per cent ol the adjusted service
credit if the money were advanced
in 192J to MO per cent of the ad
justed service credit if the payment
were made in IV28 or thereafter,

Adjusted service pay, or adjusted
service credit, would be figured on
the baiis of $1 a day for domestic
service and $1.25 a dav for foreign

Hut in no event could the amount of
the credit of the veteran who per
formed no overseas service exceed
$500 and the amount of the credit of
the veteran who performed any over
seas service exceed $A25.
Adjusted service certificates would
have a face value equal to the sum
ol the adjusted service credit of the
veteran increased by 25 per cent.
plus interest thereon for 20 years it
the rate of 4'j per cent a year, com
pounded annually.
Until January 1, 1926, any national
bank, or any bank or trust company
incorporated under the laws of any
state, territory, possession, or the
District of Columbia, would be au
thorized to loan to any veteran upon
his promissory note, secured by his
adjusted service certificate any
amount not in excess of 50 per cent
of the total of the adjusted service
credit plus interest thereon from the
date of the certificate to the date
of the loan, at the rate of A'i per
cent a year.
If Veteran Fails to Pay.
Should the veteran fail to pay the
principal and interest of the loan
within six months after its maturity,
the government would pay to the
bank the amount of such principal
and interest and take over the certi
ficate.1 This would be restored to the
veteran at any time prior to its ma
turity upon receipt from him of the
amount paid by the government to
the bank pit: mtuest on that amount
at the rate of 4'j per cent a year,
compounded annually,
The rate of interest charged the
veteran by the bank could not ex
cecd by more than 2 per cent a year
the rate charged at the date ot the
loan for the discount of commercial
paper by the federal reserve bank
for the federal reserve district in
which the bank was located.
If a veteran died before the ma
turity of the loan, the government
would pay to the bank the principal
and interest and to the beneficiary
named by, or to the estate of, the
veteran the face value of the cer
tificate less the amount paid to the
bank.
After January 1, 1926.
After January 1, 1926, veterans
holding certificates could make di
rect application through postmasters
for government loans.
If such loan were made at any
t'tnc not more than three years
after the date of the certificate, it
could not exceed 50 per cent of the
sum of the adjusted service credit

the unpaid principal at the rate of 4't
per cent and such amount ol the

on land reclaimed. They would be
required, however, to pay for such
homesteads without further govern
ment aid on the same footing as
other homesteads.. Settlajnent would

service was with the naval forces.
Such application might be made at
any time after the passage of the bill
and would have to be made person
ally by the veterans except in the
case of physical or mental incapacity,
in which event it would be made by
such representative of the veteran
and in such manner as the secretary
of war and the secretary of the navy
might jointly by regulation prescribe.

Veto Expected.
This lineup showed 33 senators
against the bill, or a sufficient num
ber to prevent its passage in the
event President Harding vetoed it,
as many now believe he will. The roll
today, however, showed one more
than a two-thirds majority of those
present and voting in favor of the
bill.
The treasury apparently is con
fident that the president will veto
the bill. High officials indicated to-
day that the president had not
changed from his announced inten
tion to diapprove any bonus legis
lation which does not carry the
means of raising the revenue needed,
and the measure, the treasury of
ficials say, does not meet that re
quirement.
Immediately after the passage of
the measure, the senate directed that
it be returned to the house with a
