Lewls, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Lewis Explains Situation. Before the convention began proceedings Mr. Lewis had made a statement regard- ing troubles between miners and operators in several parts of the country. He sald: “In Colorado there is practically no change. An unsuccessful effort has been made to operate the mines in the north- ern fleld. 1 am hopeful of being able to arrange a conference of coal operators and miners and I am satistled an understanding can be reached which will be reasonably satisfactory to all parties interested. “With reference to the situation in the southwest, a conference was held in Kan- sas City last week and it was finally de- cided that President James Elliot of the Southwest Interstate Coal Operators asso- clation and myeelf should act as a com- mittee to prepare a proposition to present o representatives of the operators and representatives of the miners in separate conventions and then in a joint convention, I am hopeful that 30,000 men will be back at work by July 1. Mr. Lewis did not say so exaetly, but it is plain that he regards the Illinols situa- tion as more grave than in Colorado and in the southwest. “In Illinois,” sald he, ‘there are about 465,00 men idle. The situation is compli- cated by the positive positions taken by both the leaders of the miners and the operators, and no disposition on either side to g0 to the other and arrange a conference to settle their differences the matter up with representatives of the operators and of the mine workers for the purpose of arranging a conference. I am not in a position to express an opinion in regard to the outcome, but am hopeful I will be able to bring about a settlement in the near future.” In his address to the convention, Mr. Lewis analyzed the coal industry as con- taining five elements, miners, operators, railroads, dealers and consumers, He then iscussed the ralsing of the coal industry standards from the standpoint of each ele- ment, Regarding the miuers, he sald: “We shall never be satisfied until wages are such that boys and children will not have to go Into bowels of the earth to help support families, and until Lours of labor are at that minimum necessary to mine all the coal needed for the world's use Mr. Lewis left Omaha for Kansas City in the afterncon. The convention adjourned at noon. We have taken | Edgecombe on Stand in Bleached Flour Hearing Omaha Mill Manager Says Bakers De- mand White Flour—His Family Uses Bleached Flour. KANSAS CITY, June 22—In support of the contention that the process of bleaching tlour does not injure the product, but on the other hand improves it, several addi- tional witnesses testified for the millers in the bleached flour trial in the federal court here today. Attorneys for tne millers stated today that probably another week would be re- quired to introduce all thelr testimony. Alva Edgecomb, manager of the Updike mill at Omaha, testified that many of the bakers who are patrons of his mill demand bleached flour. He said that Impurities in flour could not be concealed by the bleaching process and that his own family had used bleached flour for five years. He sald none of his family had been sick as a result of eating bread made from the flour. The witness produced two loaves of bread, one of which he said was made from bleached flour and the other from unbleached, and when he cut them open he was unable to state which loaf was made from bleached flour or which was made from unbleached flour. On examination an effort was made to induce the witness to state that his mill was supplying financial aid to the millers in this suit, but he said that he did not known, as the president of the company looked after the legal affalrs of the con- cern. The witness sald he had no knowledge of a sult the government prosecutor sald had been brought by the company to enjoin the operation of the pure food law in lowa.
