JOHN I,. LEWIS DECLARES PLAN
OF GOVERNMENT TO RE-OPEN
MINES IS FAILURE.
TO El USUI UK
Frerident of Mine Union Goes to
Philadelphia to Confer With Lead*
«r»—AasailsHardbig for Plan to
Put Troop* at Mine*—Only Way to
Settle Is to Confer With Operators.
(Associated Pr«M Dispatch.)
NEW YORK, July 86.—Declaring
that the government's "fantas-
tic schemes" to re-open the
Coal mines were a complete failure
and that the delay they had occasion-
ed contributed to a pending fuel
famine, John L. Lewis, president of
the United Ml. e Workers, of America,
tonight renewed his Invitation to op-
erators to settle the strike by Joint
conference.
The attempt to re-open the ttlnes
by assembling and parading engines
of war before our American cltisens,"
his statement continued, "would be a
national farce did It not possess the
elements of tragedy."'
His plea for Immediate resumption
of negotiations between operators and
miners was based on what he termed
the complete failure of the govern-
ment's efforts which, ha asserted, have
l<cyn the jiet result of governmental
attempts to avert a fuel famine. Mr.
I<cwls remained firm, l^wovcr, for a
national conference to include all coal
operators and reiterated the refusal
of his organization to confer or nego-
tiate new wage contracts by districts.
The mine workers' chief tonight
went to Philadelphia where tomorrow
he will meet the fivn union district
presidents, representing 310,000 an;
tlirncite and bituminous miners In
Pennsylvania, who have been on strike
foi seventeen weeks.
"Ten d;i>« havo elapsed since the
president directed operators of the
country, whose miners are on strike,
to return to their homes and resume
the production of coal," Mr. 1-ewls
mild, "following which he telegraphed
the governors of commonwealths urg-
ing them to accord military protection
to all companies employing strike-
breakers."
"Despite the promulgation of this
policy by the federal government and
Its punctilious application by several
governors," the statement issued by
Mr. Lewis continued, "there has been
no Increase In coal production. Not a
single union miner has returned to
work and It must now be obvious to
nil that the American miner will not
Ih' driven hack to work at starvation
wages and under non-unton conditions
by uny fan-fare of trumpets or vain
military display."

merce and leading motion picture men

Washington, July 25.—Support of
the railroad labor board as the only;
agency created by law for handling
the transportation tie-up, acceleration
of coal production under federal pro-
tection and control of fuel distribution
was given by administration spokes-
men today ns the three fundamentals
of the government's policy toward the
Industrial crisis involved In the coal
und railroad strikes.
Re-lnstatement of the government's
position followed the regular Tuesday
meeting of the cabinet which for
nearly three hours devoted its atten-
tion to the double-threat against the
country's economic fabric—famine In
fuel and disruption of Interstate com-
merce.
The first step toward control of the
depleted transportation facilities and
coal supply came shortly afterwards
In a statement before the Interstate
commerce commission declaring that
an emergency existed in the territory
east of the Mississippi which requir-
ed the commission to direct the rout-
ing of all essential commodities and to
fix preference and priority status to
movemchts of food and fuel. The prl-
orlty order was forced by a general
service order from the commission
notifying all common carriers that an
emergency existed which required
them to disregard usual routing prac-
tice, freight rate division and traffic
arrangements so as to obtain the most
expeditious movement of essential
freight.
Becoming effective tomorrow, the
commission's mandates give railroads
priority on fuel requirements, with
electric light, gas, water, and sewer
works, lee plants serving the pubMc
and refrigeration plnnts engaged in
preservation of foods following in the
order named. s

MODE8TE HELD INSTEAD OF
PRINCIPALS IN AFFAIR.
(Associated Press Dispatch )
Mexico City, July 25.—With tho ar-
rest yesterday afternoon of Madame
Milo and Jesus Harcenaa three of the
six members of the now famous auto-
mobile party of A. Bruce Blelaskl
which was kidnaped a month ago
near Cuernavaca now are in jail.
Montes de Oca, the party's chauffeur
and Madame Alilo's companion, has
been under arrest of Cuernavaca for
moro than three weeks, together with
Colonel Enrique Goldbaum Pacllla,
who was charged with having over-
stepped his authority as a federal
urmy officer In directing activities
looking toward the release of Mr. Blo-
laskl, formerly of the American de-
partment of justice.
Mr. Blelaskl, Mrs. Blelaskl and
Senora Barcenas were still at liberty
up to a late hour last night, although
they said they would not surprised
at being detained at any moment.
Why Barcenas and Madame Milo
should have been selected by the au-
thorities for detention Instead of the
principal of the kidnaping affair, has
caused much peculation here, Bar-
cenas, a native Mexican, Is an attorney
of Mexican.
Madame Milo, a French modeste was
an acquaintance of Montes de Oca
who suggested the Cuernavaca outing.
Both llarcenas and the French
woman have given extended accounts
of their knowledge of the case to a
local court which as yet has given no
Intimation as to what connection these
persons are alleged to have had in
the affairs.
Mr. lllclaskl intended to depart
from Mexico City last Wednesday but
the inability of the supreme court
during the past few days to muster
a quorum has prevented the clearing
up of a minor point in a pending oil
case In which the American is inter-
ested.

return to work; that the railroad has
been unable to carry on freight traffic
and keep open the regular channels
of commerce of the state, because the
workmen later employed were "Inti-
midated, threatened and Injured by
physical violence;" that officers with
whom he had personally conferred
would not be able to protect the work-
men and preserve order, that the state
should preverve Its sovereignty and
preserve the rights of its citizens with-
out the neeesslty-of federal Interven-
tion.

occur or the situation demands It and
rangers will be sent there to preserve
order.

were especially alert tonight to pre-
vent any possible disorder in connec-
tion with the governor's announce-
ment of martial law. No semblance

men as they stepped from a special
train here late today to take places

charge of the district proclaimed un-
der martial law, they will be aug-
mented by the deputy United Statea
