THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, DECEMBER 22,' 1919.
OPERATORS ARE
FIRM ON STAND
AT SETTLEMENT
Renew Denials That Previous
Agreements Bind Them
to Accept Govern
ment Plan.
Washington, Dec. 21. Coal opera
tors of the United States through
their executive committee explained
further tonight their reasons for re
fusing to participate in the govern
' ment's plan for settling the bitu
minous coal strike. Renewing 'the
denials that previous agreements
had bound them to accept the gov
ernment's plan, the operators as
serted that while they were bound
by and had agreed to accept strike
settlement proposals made by Or.
Garfield, former fuel administrator,
the government proposals as ac
cepted by the, miners differ vitally
from those of the Garfield plan.
The insistence of the operators on
, the stand left open tonight the pos
sibility, it was held, that the com
mission named Saturday by Presi
dent Wilson and given by bim, pow
er to fix "wages and prices of coal
necessary to sustaain wages, might
be unable to function. The execu
tive committee did not say, however,
that operators would stand aloof
irom'the commission in its investi
gations and decision, but left the
question open to be settled prob
ably at a meeting Tuesday in Cleve
land, O., where a general session of
the scale committee, central com
petitive field and other operators
generally has been called.
Operators' Statement.
The operator in a formal state-
. nient tonight said: - '
"In the light of the statement
of Attorney General Palmer of yes
terday, in' which he says that it
i would be an amazing repudiation
of their own statements if the oper
ators do not acquiesce in the plan
which' their official representatives
have repeatedly agreed to, in the
settlement of the strike, the bitum
inous coal operators feel impelled
to re-state their attitude so that
it may be clearly appreciated by
the public. '
"Attorney General Palmer, in his
statement yesterday, asserted that
the operators had agreed to the
memorandum of the attorney gener
al and John L. Lewis, acting presi
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America, laying down the terms
of agreement for settlement of the
oal strike. The fact is that the
operators never6 learned of the ex
istence of that agreement until after
it had been presented to miners at
the Indianapolis conference of De
cember 1.
"The operators did accept the pro
posal of the government, presented
through Dr. Garfield, former fuel
administrator and referred to in Pres
ident Wilson's letter of December
f. Under the terms of this proposal
the mine controversy was to be set
tled oh the basis of the fiveprin-
ciDles announced by Dr. Garfield.
The application of one of these
principles determined the 14 per cent
advance which was granted the
miners. The Garfield proposal fur
ther nrovided for the establishment
of a board with advisojy powers
only.
Stand by Garfield Plan.
"The operators still stand by the
acceptance of the Garfield proposal.
The president's letter December 6,
referred specifically to it and it
seemed clear to the minds of the
operators that it was the intent

Suffering Overcome After
Taking Tanlac and He Gains
Forty-two Pounds.
"It's a fact, I was in such misery
rom stomach trouble and rheuma
tism that I was not expected to
liye, but now after taking Tanlac
I feel as fine as I ever did in my
life, and have gained 42 pounds in
weight," was the remarkable state
ment made recently by William
Burg, a well known coal miner, who
lives at 1714 East Miller St,
Springfield, 111.
"I had suffered for 20 years,"
he continued, "and was in as bad
a fix as a man could get in. I had
indigestion so bad that the minute
r ate anything it would sour and
cause gas to form and I would
suffer terribly with cramps in my
stomach. Even liquid diets would
make me deathly sick and nauseated
and I often wondered how I lived
through such agony. I also had a
bad case of rheumatism and my
joints were so stiff I could hardly
bend over to lace my shoes and I
had such pain in my elbows that
I couldn't lift a pick and my feet
were so swollen and hurt so bad
that my' shoes would hardly go
on. I tried all sorts of medicines
and treatments and liniments, but
nothing ever gave me any relief.
"But when I began taking Tan
lac, it went right after my troubles
and I began to improve right away.
All my troubles have completely
left me and I feel 20 years young
er. I can eat anything set before
me without the least fear and every
trace of the rheumatism has gone.
I sleep like a log every night and
work like a trooper every day. Peo
ple who knew my condition ire
actually astonished when they see
me now and without question I
consider Tanlac the best medicine
ever made."

Ellen, who is pretty and decidedly
feminine, despite her efforts at

do a man's work, a year or more ago
when she replaced a mail flarrier in
her home town that he might jour

"I thought if I could do that I
could do anything a man could," she
told City Chaplain Jim Goodheart,

So, with the desire to prove that
she could do a man's work love of
adventure and an ambition to ob
tain "local color" for articles she
planned to write on equal suffrage,
the pretty wanderlust victim left her
mother's home in Youngstown,
O., early in October, planning to
travel to the Pacific coast.
Ellen had a little money, and she
says she never 'really beat her way."
She "shipped out," for the most part,
with employment agencies, dressed
in boy's clothing and secured work

Her first .stop was Detroit. "I

bass notes. In Detroit she worked
as a bus boy in a hotel.
From Detroit she went to Chi

An employment agency in Chi

"shipped out" as a section hand. On

"The ooerators ooint out the fol
lowing radical differences between
tin. Garfield nroDosal and the Pal
mer-Lewis memorandum which was
accepted at Indianapolis:
Radical Changes Noted.
"1. The Garfield orooosal would
have established a board with ad
visory powers only. The Palmer
Lewis memorandum agreement
would establish a commission not
advisory in character, but with full
power definitely to fix coal prices,
wages, differentials and to determine
h details of workinsr conditions
within each district covering that
memorandum.
"2. The auestion of differentials
and internal working conditions in
the many bituminous coal fields af
f ! hv this memorandum are so
involved and complicated that a com
plete review, in order to make an in
telligent decision, would be an in
t..m;n,KU task. These matters are
of vital importance to the coal in
dustry. The differentials tnemseivco
are not in dispute. .... f
"3, Furthermore, the findings of
the commission contemplated by the
Palmer-Lewis memorandum may be
retroactive without limitations as to
time. ' ' .

ences between me uarucm upl

operators repeated that they had
never agreed to the Palmer-Lewis
memorandum, and that they still
stand upon their agreement to ac
cept the terms of the Garfield pro
posal. They will unite with all the
well thinking people of the coun
.,, that in the. final conclusion
of this matter, all interests will be.
faithfully protected and servea, aim

lem worked out" . . .
Attorney General Palmer m his
statement last night took exception
to statements by A. M. Ogle, chair
man of the operators' executive com
mittee, as made before the , senate
investigating committee Friday. Mr.
Palmer said, newspaper reports
credited Ogle with declaring that the
attorney general had "proposed a
surrender." This Mr. Palmer said,
was false. .
Mr. Ogle tonight responded to the
attorney general's remark, by refer
ring to the transcript of the commit
tee session. That document, it was
pointed out, showed that the conver
sation took place before any pro
posal had been made by the govern
ment and that Mr. Ogle remarks
were "qualified."

Up for His Kindness
Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 21 (Spe
cial.) A stranger giving the name
of "Al Jennings," but who disclaims
any intention of representing him
self to be the famous ex-train rob
ber, is subject to the charge of mak
ing a murderous attack on Town
Marshal Williams, of Winfred.
The town marshal, out of kindness
for his prisoner, rather than keep
him in the unsanitary town jail,
took him to his own home. Jen
nings took advantage of the first
opportunity to attack the marshal,
striking the officer with a "black
jack," lacerating his face and break
ing his nose, and then made his
escape.
The fugitive was trailed to a farm
house by Deputy Sheriff Frye and
a Winfred bank clerk and recao-
tured. The fugitive slept in a straw-
stack the night before and was near
ly frozen, as the temperature was
around the zero mark.

DR. K. It. TARRY 240 Emm BatMlng OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Paris, Dec. 21. With milk bath,
Greek dancing and rhythmical exer
cises Geo de Merode, the most en
chanting woman in France, plans to
restore the Parisiennes' reputation
of being the most beautiful women
in the world.
Ten years ago the dazzling actress,
named the "modern Diana by the
late King Edward VIII and King
Leopold of Belgium, both of whom
were enthralled by her charms,
ranked with Liane de .Pughy and
tt:i:.. ji - t .i. .
cuuuciuic u ninitun as one oi inc
liveliest trio of belles in the world.
Now at the age of 43 Cleo retains
all her beauty. Her admiring friends
contend she has not even lost the
bloom of youth.
Recognizing her undisputed claims
to beauty unmatched in Paris today
the inner circle of aristocratic
France, whose dictates in matters of
taste and style are never questioned
by European society, met at the be
ginning of the winter and decided to
entrust to Mile Jpt Merode the task
of reviving in the growing generation
of girls the old-time paramount rep
utation oi f arsiennes tor beauty.
The choice of the Paris arbiters
of beauty have added to their com
mittee some of the leading painters
and sculptors, was arrived at only
after passing under review the re
spective claims of Cleo de Merode,
Gaby Deslys, Jeanne Prevost, Lina
Cavalieri and CecilC Sorel The field
soon narrowed down to Cleo de
Merode and Cecile Sorel, the lat
ter's claims finally being disallowed
despite the fact that Marshal Foch
recently paid her the tribute of tak
ing lunch with her.
Doesn't Wish Honor.
In an interview with Universal
Service Mile, de Merode disclaimed
any wish to pose as the premiere
beauty of b ranee. I prefer the
blonde, myself," she said. "That is
why I have so much admiration for
American beauties."
Her head resting against cream
colored cushions to throw into re
lief her dark beauty, she admitted
that Paris society leaders had re
quested her to take over the beauty
training of their growing girls.
Asked to describe her curriculum,
she said, "I propose to work solely
on the plan I have always myself
adopted. I think wherever possible
girls should bathe in milk at) least
twice a week in order to impart to
the skin the lovely sheen of silk. I
also prescribe Greek dances in loose
costumes and progressive exercises
designed to give suppleness to every
muscle in the body. Care, however,
will be taken to guard against ex
cessive vigor producing overdevelop
ment, and; I shall .strongly discour
age robust college games such as
hockey and basket ball.
"At the same time I believe girls
can derive nothing but benefit from
such healthy and beautifying exer
cises as skating, riding and fencing.
Inculcates Ideas.
"As my pupils progress and pass
the age of 18 I shall begin to in
culcate into them the paramount
importance of making the most of
their heautv. This can be done ini
a variety of ways. Obviously of i
first importance is the selection of
styles and colors in dress and mil
linery to harmonize with and em
phasize the individuality of each
woman. To mention an extreme in
stance of what I mean when I say
that women should make the most
cf their charms, I believe that beau
ties of the '.peaches, and cream type
would gain by sleeping between
black silk sheets, which are not only
more restful than white linen ones,
but enliven a woman's sense of es
thetic values. More particularly,
too, does this apply to women of
the Gioconda type that is, those
possessing a dead white complexion.
"I have rented a large hall in a
fashionable quarter of Paris and am
having it painted and furnished ac
cording to my own ideas. The color
scheme and furnishings will be
bright and cheery, for pretty sur
roundings are the finest aid to love
liness. Each child I shall accept
pupils from the age of 7 will have
her own little dressing room, taste
fully furnished and individually
lighted, and she will be costumed
for all her exercises in strict ac
cordance with her individuality.
"Brunettes will wear bright col
ored robes, blondes dark ones. Each
child's taste in dress will be care
fully trained. Of course facial exer
cises will play an important part.
Children will be encouraged to drink
plenty of pure fresh water and sleep
in the open air. ' .... ...
"An orchestra will play classical
musicduring the dancing and exer
cises and I shall explain to my pupils
that the influence of good music on
the esthetic senses is of importance
in beauty culture." . '
VWill you teach them how to
love?" mademoiselle De Merode was
asked. - I . . .
"No girl needs to be taught that,
was the reply. "Personally I believe
that little affairs of the heart are a
great aid to beauty, for nothing
makes the cheek glow, the eyes
sparkle and the senses jingle so
much as thoughts of love. '
Mile. De Merode, who is about to
take the leading part in "Mephisto
pheles" at the Lyric, stated that she
did not propose to desert the stage
in the interests of her new profes
sion. She declined to say what fee
she will charge the wealthy parents
of her pupils, but it is understood
that the price of her complete beauty
course wll noit be less than $5,000.
