ENLIST PUBLIC OPINION. “Attorney General Assures Owners Agreement Would Not Bring Indictments. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, June (Copy vight).—The United States Govern- ‘ment is preparing to summon coal operators and iminers into conference in the national capita! and bring the tes in an effort strike. John L. Lewis, President the ‘United Mine Workers of America, has informed the Government that he and his associates gladly will attend a con- ference with operators from the Cen- tral Competitive Field, which com- prises Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and ‘Western Pennsylvania, or with opera- tors from any group of coal districts producing an equivalent anpount of tonnage. The coal operators’ views are not yet disclosed for the reason that the formal invitation has nt yet been sent, but the objection raised by the operators heretofore hs been a feur that Jndge Anderson might hale them into his Federal Court on contempt charges in connectfon with pending indictments growing out of past con- ferences at which, wage scales were tixed. to xettle the coal of — “ Attorney%enrat Daugherty has as- sured the operators that the Govern- ment will not indict the coal oper- ators and wilk not view the suggested wage conferences as a violation of ex- isting statues on restraint of trade. ‘But the ‘tors declare they hal u similar jurance once from another Attorney eral, A, Mitchell Palmer, but the Wederal Court at Indianapolis ,Bathered them in just the same. Tq owercome this objection, the Goverrment authorities here are pre- paring; to summon to conference under clrowmstances different from any that haves preceded. Tye forthcoming con- * feremce would be called by the Federal Gogernment itself as an act of public “ erpergency. No Federal Court would likely to prosecute private citizens ho obeyed a mandate from another franch of the Government itself. ‘Then the conferences themselves ‘would be held in the presence of offi- ‘cers of the Federal Government, who ‘would naturally, by their very pres. ‘ence, prevent the commission of itle- gal acts or the making of any agree- ments which are th contradiction of, Federal statutes. When an agreement finally is made the Federal Government would Suggest the entering of the decament in a Federal Court so that \% would have legal as well as moral validity, Technicalities wilt not be permitted to stand in the way of a gonference.

Both sides ‘awve suffered since the strike began, The massacre in Iili- nols has saved, however, to bring governmenfal influence to bear once more in ta effort to draw the parties tomether, Confidential reports re- ceived ere show that the tactics of the operators have not been as effec- tive if brenking the union strength as they had hoped. Indeed, in certain nory-union districts a gain of 91,000 members is recorded as a direct re- ‘ait of the notices posted by operators yeducing wages, The miners have heen drawn together by a common grievance rather than separated as whe operators had believed would be one effect of a prolonged strike, In Qnother case, official reports show that miners who had been evicted from hames erected for them by the companies now are being urged to come back to Aheir -homes whether they go back to work or not, The main trouble with the situation is that the cperators lack cohesion Wuey ave composed of differing cle- ‘ments and some of thelr number are ‘extreme tn their view and want the militia and Federal Army, if nec tary, to be used to break the strike as hon-tinion men ate brouBht to the mines.

Most of the cars in use on the lines of the Breokijn City Railroad Com. pany were built in 1898, according to Edward ©. Roberts of the Transit Commission, who said to-day that tho average life of a street railway car, is from twenty to thirty-five years, The accuracy of this was challenged by 8. B. Olney, counsel for the com- pany, who said that Mr. Roberts was not “an operating railroad man‘* and therefore not qualified to give such testimony. Roberts said there were 1,171 cars in use, of which 916 are owned by B. R. T. and 255 by Brook- lyn City William H. Freeman, transit inspec- tor, said he measured the height of the steps on the Brooklyn City Rail- road Company's open cars and found It to be 20.2 inches, and from the step to the floor of the car 16.6 inches. He declared some other steps were as high as 22 3-4 inches and as low as 18 inches. Mr, Freemen said there were 83,420 cars operated in New York State out- side the city of New York. Of this number, he declared, 345 are of the “open'’ type. He sald a little over 10 per cent, of the total number are 4n regulay operation during the past eleven years in the United States 23, 087 cars were ordered built, of which 342 were of the open type. No open cars have been ordered in this country since 1916, said Mr. Freeman, who further declared thut the Summer type of street car ts ex- pensive because it places a Winter ear out of service whenever used. He said that Brovklyn'tes prefer to ride in the open cars rather than the closed cars, el Mr, Freeman testified that there are 2% times as many accidents on Summer cars than on the closed Winter cars operated by the B. R. T. surface car nystem, The Third Ave- nue Kailway’ system, which uses double end summer cars throughout, was shown to have no more acci- dents in summer than tn winter. Asked for his recommendations on solving the high car step problem, Mr. Freeman said the sides of the ears should be closed and an extra step placed on elther end. Hie said it would cost $1,200 per car to close it up on the sides, ent an alsle through the center of the seats and put steps on the ends. thought the decrease in accidents would warrant such a change, It was placed on record that the former Public Service Commission issued an order requiring the trolley companies to keep their car steps at not more than 15 Inches from the street Mr. Freeman sald the open cars should be eliminated in time, al though it is true the public Hke that type of car for summer riding.

DON, June 26 (United Press).— blican rebels holling the four courts in Dublin must evacuate im- mediately, Winston Churehill, Colo- nial Minister, declared in Commons this afternoon, A challenge to Treland to end lawlessness and observe the peace treaty was the keynote of 1 stirring speech in which Churchill de fended the Government's Irish policy against “Die Hard” attacks. Trish insurgents, who recently seized the four court buildings and hotel in Dublin and set up a rebel headquar- tors, were reported to have sent an ultimatum to the Government to get all British troops out of Ireland within seventy-two hours from last Friday midnight Churchill said no such ultimatum had been received, but de- clared the rebels themselves must evacuate at once, Ireland, Churchill said, must ob serve the Apirit and letter of the peace treaty or the British Govern- ment would not legalize its further stages. “Die hard” attacks opened the ses- sion this afternoon, Question after question was hurled at the Govern- ment bench. Spokesmen for the Cabinet replied to these with incon- clusive answers, the Government withholding its ammunition for the debate. , Following the question period, Winston Churchill delivered a long speech on the Irish question, warmly defending Lioyd George's policies. He excoriated Eamon De Valera and the Irish extremists and blamed the Belfast horrors upon the I. R. A “The Government is determined to support Ulster at all costs,” Churchill sald. ‘Britain has sup- plied Ulster with 50,000 troops for defense,"’ he announced. Warming to his defense of the Gov- ernment, Churchill declared attacks upon Home Secretary Shortt because of the assassination of Field Marsha! Sir Henry Wilson were “monstrous.” The London police had been unjustly criticised, Churchill said. LONDON, June 26 (Associated Press).—"The Imperial Government,” said Mr. Churchill in his speech, ‘feels that after the election which cleanly showed what were the wishes of the Irish people, we cannot con- tinue to tolerate the many grave lapses of the spirit of the treaty and the improprieties and trregularties in its execution which we have put up with or acquiesced in during the last six months, The Sinn Fein, he declared, had to realize that they would never would win Ulster except by her own free will and that the more they kicked the worse it would be for them. He sald the Imperiai Government would endeavor to stand between the an- tagonists and prevent the loss of life and the destruction of property and make \t absolutely clear that any at- tempt from Southern forces to break into the territory of Northern Ireland would be met and repulsed by Im- porlal power.
