The association de- nied that the Illinois operators had ex- pressed a desire to have the existing wage contract amended as stated by the presi- ident of the mine workers. The only overture looking toward reopening of the wage agreement which “was entered into March 31, and which was effective for two years, the association’s statement said, was made by the miners. This overture, it was added. was rejected by the opera- tors, who fiéld that only action by the government, under whose auspices the agreement was entered into, would permit reopening of the contract. Exception also was taken by the asso- ciation to Mr. Lewis' assertion that the coal operators were charging unprecedent- ed prices for coal. The average price at the mines for coal. the association state- ment said, was from $3.50 to §4, and speculators and competitive bidding by consumers compelled to buy coal at any price had boosted prices to from $12 to $15 a ton. ; The question of coal costs and prices was covered by the federal trade commis- sion in its fourth monthly bulletin on bituminous coal costs, issued today. The commission’s review of the bituminous in- dustry for April showed that the average sales realization of the 812 operators re- porting for that month was $3.26 a tom, while the average reported f. o. b. mine cost amounted to $2.76. Of the latter amounts, $2.04 represented labor costs per ton; 31 cents the cost of supplies and 41 cents general exense or overhead. The difference between the sales realiza- tion and the f. o. b. mine cost was 50 cents a ton. which the commission em- phasized could not be considered as profit as from it must be subtracted certain ex- TRUNK IDENTIFIED AS THE | PROPEETY OF MRS, E.

BOLSHEVIKI IN THE KARABAGH DISTRICT OF ARMENIA Constantinople, July 24—(By The A. P.) Large Russian Bolshevik forces, chiefly cavalry, are overrunning the Kar- abagh district of Armenia, known as the “Black Garden,” apparently with the purpose of joining the Turkish National- ists and the Russian bolsheviki approach- ing Shusha. It is reported that Enver Pasha is accompanying the forces, which constitute, a speical army created for op- erations in Turkey. The Armenians probably aggregate oniy 25,000 troops, many of whom are declared to be of bolshevik tendencies, and Armenian resistance to a large bol- shevik movement therefore, it is believed, will be ineffective.

J., July 25.—Résolute 1V. took sail-stretching spins this afternoon in the Horseshoe breparatory for what promises to be the linal race for the America’s cup tomor- row. on a brand new mainsail and after it was hoisted, set an outer jib_and went for a twenty minute sail in bay. An eight knot breeze was blowi from .the northwest which would have been an ideal day for the racing machines. Shamrock 1V. got under way late this afternoon and worked in and about the Horseshoe for' some time. Once at their moorings the mainsails of the two racers were puth undet covers and the crews were permitted to rest for tomorrow's race which is to be fought over a course fifteen miles to windward or leeward and return, The skippers of the two racers are said to feel the critici that has been caused by the postponerient of the contest yes terday on account of 100 much wind. It was pointed out that every knot of breeze above fifteen is of no advantage to the sloops, since they obtam their maximum speed within that amount of wind and that as the wind increases amove a cer- tain point it is necessary to shorten sail it was said on the tender Montauk today that the wind was abgut 25 miles an hour off the ligh{ship when the racers reached the starting line. Rather than risk an accident with possible loss of life and in- jury, it-was de 4 to assent postponement of tue race. Sir Thomas Lipton still feels confident the Shamrock IV will lift the cup and prefers not to talk about the possibility of another challenge until it is deter- mined whether the Shamrock IV will be successful or not. It was learned tonight that Captain Andrew J. Applegate, the Seabright fish- erman who was engaged by Sir Thomas Lipton to sail on the Shamrock and as- sist Captain Burton with his knowledge of local tide and wind conditions, will be aboard the challenger again tomorrow. Captain Applegate did not sail on . the Shamrock yesterday when she went to the starting line and it was generally re- ported that the Seabright sailor had some dieffrences with Skipper Burton as to the course sailed 1n Friday's contest. Moderate northwest and north winds, with fair weather, was the weather bu- reau's forecast tonight for the race to- morrow. PLEASED- WITH HARDING STAND ON FARM REFORMS Marion, Ohio, July 25. Needs of western farmers were talked over with Senator Harding today by Senator Cap- per of Kansas and Henry Wallafe of Des' ' Moines, Iowa, both editors of farm publicantions. In a statement afterward, Senator Capper declared the farmers of the west were "fast realizing why it is necessary that fhe republican ticket be elected.” % To put the democrats back into power. the Kansas senator said, would be to “turn the: government over to the solid south and democratic machines of the various Tamnbg)yized states of the north.” Senator Capper accompanied Senator and Mrs. Harding to services at the Methodist church -and remained their guest until evening. He declared he was well pleased with the stand on farm re- forms taken by the republican nominee in his speech of acceptance. Messages of congratulation on the speech continued to come in .during the day one of them being from Governor Frank O. Lowden of I1llin who was a leading candidate for the presidenfial nomination at Chicago. Governor Lowden telegraphed: “Heartiest congratulations upon your speech of acceptance. It is celar, force- ful and patriotic.” Another which pleased the Harding managers was from Frank A. Munsey of New York, one of the leaders in the nro- gressive party in 1912: “I congratulate you heartily,” Mr. Munsey wired, “on the splendid reception your speech e _zeeptance - has had through the entire north.” A delegation from Terre Haute, Ind., on its way to the Knights of Pythias con- \lention at Cleveland marched to the Harding lawn during the afternoon in full regalia and headed by a band, and ser- enaded the nominee. He shook hands and told his callers he was proud to be a member of the Pythian order. Senator Capper's statement blamed the democratic adr g 'stration for market in- equalities favoruole to the cotton and sugar industries, and declared Governor Cox’s nomination for president by the democrats placed the party under a joint obligation to southern the “bosses” of the ncrth. Governor Cox he said, “in the? eight vears he has dom- inated politics in Ohio, has built a ma- ching based on the “Tammany model.” s “During the war and since,” the state- what “we have seen The southern ment continued, southern control means. stateemen were all for rigidly controlling and limiting the price on wheat that compelled the farmers to take far trolled market. prices. “More recently we have seen the same I know no more complete demonstration of democ- incompetency than thing in the case of sugar. racy’s administrative in the story, of sugar this year. “People are paying up to 30 cents for ugar, and can’t get it at that. Yet there is sugar enough in the country for all. It is held by speculators in order to boost the price. “The northern and western have borne the burden of restrictions, while the cotton and sugar raisers of the south, and the speculators, have gotaway with profits beyond calculation.” Another caller during the Constantine C.. Moustakis of Mass., who declared the Greeks country were greatly pleased at Senator day was Salem, Harding’s reference to the disposition of Thrace in his recent queries to Governor €ox regarding foreign relations. He as- sured the nominee that voters of Greek descent were ‘ome hundred per cent. for Harding and Coolidge.

They are marching on Ad- rianople, in Furopean Turkey, but hove when they attack the city to avoid the destruction of the famous mosques which in past investments have escaped the ar- tillery. The war against Turkey is a popular one because Turkey is Greece’s anclent ‘enemy and there is the possibility of vast- Iy enlarging Grecian territory.
