THE OMAHA. SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 1, 1920. 5 A ILLINOIS MINE WORKERS' CHIEF ANSWERSATTACK Says Lewis' Statement Will Not Help Get Men of Sucker State Back I To Work. Springfield. III., July 31. "Presi dent Lewis' attack on me- is not going to count anything towards getting the Illinois miners back to work." was the statement of Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois Mine Workers, when shown a statement issued by Mr. Lewis at Ir'anartolis. The statement follows: "The statement is characteristic of Mr. Lewis and is delivered in his usual style. "The statement that he had not been requested by the operators to enforce the validity of the wage agreement is not true. I have in my possession a copy of a telegram requestine him to do that very thing. Mr. Lewis has interfered and muddled the situation in Illi nois, and he must now accept the responsibility for the 'day' hands not receiving a $2 a day increase, which they would have received if he had kept his hands off, and he also, no doubt, will be the means of compelling the miners to pay an excessive price for their pow der. "Mr. Lewis' personal attack upon me is not going to count anything toward getting the Illinois miners back to work. As for his state ment that the nresident's statement is a stinging rebuke to me and oth ers who incite men to violate their contracts. I will say I was active in teaching men obedience to their contractual obligations before Mr. Lewis became an officer of the min ers' union. Those who know me best credit me with having done more to that end than any other men 5n the miners' union. In fact, my insistence that men must re spect their contracts has made me more enemies in the miners' union than any other one thing. I am perfectly willing that my record in that respect should be compared with Mr. Lewis' record. As usual Mr. Lewis is dealing politics In try ing to discredit me with the min ers in the country by his bombastic and false statement, and I am per fectly willing that the mine workers of ihe country, and particularly those of Illinois, shall judge as be tween us."

Senator Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the speakers bureau of the democratic national committee, an nounced that the most aggressive campaign in the history of Ameri can politics would be conducted for Governor Cox and Franklin D.

Gov ernor' Cox and Mr. Roosevelt will greet a great galaxy of speakers im mediately after the speeches of ac ceptance of the candidates have been made. "The democratic nominees both believe in going direct to the people with their appeals for support. They have no sympathy with 'front porch campaigns, but will submit their case and themselves to the public for judgment."

Action of Federal Banks to Check Credit Is Helping Business Washington, July 31.

Action of the federal reserve banks in largely depriving nones sentials and luxuries from the use of credit was said by Mr. Williams to have had a beneficial effect Re ports to him show a marked ten dency toward liquidation, he said, adding he believed the credit re strictions were responsible for de clines in prices.
