MINERS AND OPERATORS CONFERAT 230 TODAY ‘Washington, Nov. 13.—Coal miners and operators from the nation's bitu- minous fie!ds will enter into nego- tations here tomorrow for a new agreement with the question of ime of termination of the Wash- gton agreement of 1918 apparently s the chief stumbling block. Both miners and operators on the eve of the conference at which the points in dispute in the current strike are expected to be settled, were hope- ful lowever, as to the outcome and expressed the Delief that the ques- tion of when the Washingion agree- ment terminated could be disposed of through mutual agreement along with e demands of the miners for sixty cent, increase In pay and shorter rs. Announcement 1Ly the executive commiitee of the operators of the cen- tral competitive field. in a formal statement tonight that the Washing- ton agreement is one of the matters 0 be determined by the conférence” was taken genbrally to mean that the| operators 4o not intend to stand pat on their contention that present con- tracts remain in effect. The statement disclaimed that the message from T. T. Brewster, presi- dent of the Coal Operators’ Associd- tion in the central competitive fields, inviting the miners to a conference “to negotiate a contract to be in force upon the termination of the contract row in effect” was an attempt to “en- ap the miners into a tacit acknow! agment” of the binding force of the contracts, and pointed out that the text of the telegram was almost iden- ical with that of the call for the Buf- 1o conference. Miners arriving here today for the perley attached significance to the announcement by Secretary of Labor ‘Wilson that Fuel Administrator Gar- fledd had aecepted his invitation to be present at the opening of the confer- ence. No explanation of the role of Dr. Garfield is to play was given oth- er than the statement that as it waeg through his influence that the “Wash- ington agreement” was negotiated his presence was logically to be expected. Dr. Garfeld will not arrive until to- morrow morning, but at the fue] ad- ministration officers here it was said that Dr. Garfieid's opinion might beé asked as to how much of the burden of 'nereased cost of production of coal, is case o wage advance is agreed to, the pubiic should be called on to bear. The conference will begin at 2.30 o'~ clock instead of 11 o'clock, the de- partment of labor announced tonight, owing to the fact that John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Werk and other particlpants will not arrive until after noon. The first queation to come before the conference will be whether the pro- cesedings shall be open. Secretary Wi son said to day that he would rec- ommend that newspaper repregenta‘ tives be admitted to the conference In keeping with his recent announce- ment that operators as well as miners attempting to restrict the output of cial would be prosccuted, Attorney General Palmer today sought furth- er information about companies at Birmingham, Alabama, which the min- ers élalm have discharged and turned huck men who 5 in complinnes w Judge Andesson. i | I'The attorney general's request for Informanion was sent after he re- ceived a telegram from George Har grove, international re; the United Mine Worke at_Birmingham, who declured ¢ companies were not permitting men to dig the toal the country re- auires. Mr. Palmer replying sal would ‘take prompt sction against any operator who adopts such restrict production.” _ Department of Justice officials were inclined tonight to view the reported action of' Illinois miners in driving caretakers away from mines near Du- quien as a violation of the order of the Judge Anderson fo the union lead- | ers.. The opinion expressed was ; that intimation by the miners amounted to a conspiracy and, therefore it fol- | lowed; the court's mandate had been disobeyed. . Omc.nls pointed out that Judge An- derson’s order was directed to "union officials and others to whose attention it is,brought.” —— HEARING Gl/.n ALLEGED UNDESIRAELE ALIENS _ Hartford, Conn,, Nov. 12.—Hearings in the cases of alleged unde e aliens arrested on federa! - warrant and held at the Hartford county —where eighty-four<of e sugpects are now under surveillance necticut state guardsmen — tinued at the tederal building befdie lmmigration rspectors Wm.

THIEVES STARTED RACE RIOT IN WILMINGTON, DEL. Wilmington, Del. Nov. 13.—Angry whites roamed the sireets in small groups tonight. striving to circumvent the-police and get together to exact vengeance on the negroes for the mur- der of one policeman and the. fatal wounding - of another by colored thieves today. Rioting broke out once when a crowd of 300 men came sud- denly on four colored men. One of the colored men drew a revolver and be- fire and one of the negroes, Bannel Field, was shot in the head. ' The whites then swarmed on the other ne- groes, who were saved by the prompt arrival of a platoon of 15 police. Using their clubs freely the police freed the colored men, three of whom took to their heels leaving Fieid on the ground. He is expected to live. The colored sections are patrolled by the police, who have instructions to break up any gatherings. Fearing that the mob might attempt. to take the colored murderer and his accomplices from .the jail and lynch them, the police tonight sent them se- cretly to Philadeiphia under heavy guard.

RHODE ISLAND SALOONS Providence, Nov. 13.—Following the entry decree in the United States court today enjoining federal officers from enforcing the war prohibition law, saloons in this-eity and state, began at once the sale of four per cent. beer. Outside of Providence, sa- loonkeepers continued to sell as ' long night notified every dealer to stop the sale of anyvthing stronger than one- {half of one per cent. The commission's order stated that although the decree had been enter- ed, the police would not allow the four per cent. to go on sale until after the case had been heard.in the court of appeals.
