Wy WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1922. MODIFICATION OF PLAN ASKED BY MINE UNION Officials Go to President With Demand That Decisions of Arbitration Com- mission Be Binding WASHINGTON, July 12.—The put forward by President Harding for arbitration of the dif- ferences in the coal industry was formally accepted late today by the anthracite operators. The acceptance was announced from the White House after repre sentatives of the operators from the anthracite fields had called on the president. The anthracite operators’ letter to the president declared themselves industry alone and while agreeing to put men back to work at old mission be instructed to seales before August 10. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Officials of the United Mine Workers of America after a conference today with Secretary |the ~eparations commission here a of Labor Davis were understood to have decided to seek a conference with President Harding at which request will be made that the executive niodify his coal strike settlement plan so as to guarantee that any decision made by the pro- posed aroitfation commission shall be,all over the country in the bituminous scales, asked that the proposed com- | fix new |GERMAN REQUEST IS binding on all operations in the coun-|area. The government does not con- r sider that it could guarantee arbitra- tion would be accepted by every: mine | operator of thc 6,000 concerned, al- though it could be sure that most of! operatans in recognized union terri-| tory would have their working condi-| tions and wages submitted to the rule of the federal tribunal. On the operators’ sie, it is known that the president's proposal to rein- state the wartime wage rate in case arbitration was accepted has induced sharpest hostility. Many operators are unwilling to consider payment of the scales which existed up to March 31, for even thirty days in view of the tact that non-union operators, involv- ing {t is claimed. as many as 200,000 try. Prerionsty high government officials feclared today that in their opinion both United Mine Workers officials and spokesmen for the bituminous op- erators were delaying and evading ac- tion on President Harding’s plar. for arbitration of the coal strike in an *ffort to ageertain whether public opin- jon will permit a rejection of a settle- ment proposal. ‘These officials declared that in the meantime a serious situation in the matter of the public coal supply was ikely to develop. This is particularly true, it was added, because of the de- rangement of the re‘lroads serving non-union coal mining territory where output is continuing and officials said they saw some indication that special efforts were being made by the strik- ng railroad workers to tie-up strategic outlets from the non-union mining ter- ‘ory south of the Ohio river. ‘As individuals. among the .bitumi- rous operators andthe miners: union officials, have expressed their views to government officials~and to the press, it has been clear that the presi- dent's arbitration proposal has induced much dissatisfaction within the indus- try. ‘The government considers that « fa- vorable response to the president's of- fer was withheld largely because the union is inclined to dernand that arbi- tration shall_apply to the operations ~ men, bas continued all during 1921 and} ever since the strike at levels far be-) low the scale which the president has! tendered the union men. A strong en- deavor has been requested on the part of the operators to recure at least ome concession in the president's of- fer before making acceptance or re fusal known. The indications today were that « failure to secure action on the presi- dent's proposal would he followed by & new government move probably in the direction of extorting stronger au- thority than that of persuasion and suggestion, but the government offi- responsible i clals are reluctant even to consider the course mentioned un- t2 a showdown has been forced on the president's offer. = ROAD HAS ONLY DAYS SUPPLY. | DANVILLE, Ml, Juty 12.—The Chi- cago division of the Chicago and East- ern Tilinois railroad has less than ten days supply of éoal on hand and may have to curtain its passenger service within the next few days, it was an- | nounced here today. The road is ob- | taining coal from the non-union fields |in the south, but has not been able to |be supplied on account of the strike of shopmen. FILED WITH COMMISSION.

Stephen, staff member of the American College of Surgeons spent the day in Casper on a periodi- cal inspection of the local hospitals, for the purpose of determining whether or not they meet the minimum standard adopted by the College of Surgeons, as fulfilling the require- ments leading to recognition as one of jthe modern hospitals of the country. This inspection of the local hospt- tals is part of a national survey in- cluding Canada, and while in the past has taken into consideration only the hospitals of 100 or more bed hospitals, 80 per cent of which have met this standgrd to date, this year, the hospi- tals of smaller capacity,50-100 beds, are also being visited for the same pur- pose. The minimum standard as adopted by the American College of Surgeons, can be applied to any hospital no mat- ter how large or small, or where lo- cated, and guarantees the maximum of medical and hospital care of the sick staff be maintained of the dottors practicing in the hospital, who meet at least once a month to conduct a critical analytical study of the medi gotiations with the international Ioan |committee would perhaps become tr- |remediable unless a speedy settlement | Was reached. ° The note concludes with an expres- nt hope that a decision for such tlement will be favorable to the resumption of the loan negotiations, as unless assistance is received from a foreign loan, the jJepreciation of the mark, it is declured will progress rapidly to the complete dissolution of the financial, economic and soctal life | Germany further requests that the moratorium be extended for the cash payments provided for 1923 and 1924 under the schedule of May 5, 1921. ‘The note aske for an immediate de- cision on the application in order to avold what it declares may soon be- come a catastrophe.

The funds backing up the 70,672,959 life policies that have been issued by the 251 insurance companies of the nation are largely invested in them. Every person who holds a life insurance policy, and the beneficiary thereof, is directly affected by whatever affects his or her utility companies. As pointed out recently by Haley Fiske, presi- dent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany, which insures twenty millions of lives: “Our policy holders are the wage- earning men and women; they are widows and children. Our nearly a bil- lion and a quarter of assets belong to them, This huge sum—largely invest- ed in public utility securities—is their savings held for their protection. . . We have a right to insist upon fair treatment of utility companies by the public and by regulating officials. For it must be recognized that the Ameri- can people the the owners of the capi- tal of the companies. “It is the people in general who suf- fer first when there is a lack of service, because it is they who are chiefly de- -pendent upon such service. Over-tax- ation, confiscation, failure to allow utilities fair rates are robbing them, not the rich.” Natrona Power Co.
