entatives of the.anthrielte coal op-;
eratora today proposed that the!
miner accept wage reductions av-
e raging 2 percent In settlement of
the strike, called last April 1. The
offer was reached point blank by
leader" of the miners orgagniza-1
tion, headed by Phillip Murray, j
MCB-iircsiuoni ui ine mine woricers
of America..
The hard coal' diggers will re
main on strike until they are
granted the 20 per cent increase
included in the 19 demands made
nine week ago, Mr. Murray de
clared. "...
The employers proposal was sub
mitted at a meeting of the minors
and onemtors sub-committee on
wag contract negotiation at the
Union League club. It offered to
sign a new wage contract with the
tctHbor nmvMjnff that-
.contract rates snail be decreased
1 percent below the rate estab'
aej by the anthracite coal com
mission In August 1820 the seals
in effect prior to the existing strik
ing. Day rates of men shall be re
duced $1.20 per day.
- Day -rates-of boys shall b re-!
duced 73 cents per day.
This program, the operators an
nounced, represents an average de
crease of approximately 21 per
cent and will therefore fully main

but Miles Away.
FEDERAL EXPERT
TELLS OF TRIP
Varied "Atmospheric Con
ditions Are Scientiflcal-
Accounted for.
WASHINGTON, May It. The
'strange light" of Brown moun
tain which for some years have
agitated the residents of Burke
and adjacent counties In North
Carolina, are explainable, it,, was
announced today by the United
States geological survey, O, It,
Mansfield. ; geologist detailed : to
study the phenomena at the re
quest of Senators Simmon and
Overman, has returned after" two
weeks ot InvestigatAn with the
conclusion that the "strange
lights" are In no way supernatural
but are common "every night"
lights given their red and yellow
tints by air 4 currents. Thi study
was the second conducted Wy the
urvey, . : :,-;'. '
- Mr. Mansfield reached his con
clusions with aid of a surveyor's
telescope, a good watch, a topog
raphic map, a train register and
cold mathematics. ' Basing these
mechanical . devices on a firm
foundation of old fashioned, nat
ural gray matter, the scientist
learned that the lights , do not
originate on or near Brown moun
tain, but In the, lower country
miles beyond, and play their weird
game only at the whim of favor
able natural conditions. Automo
bile headlights, he found, provide
47 per cent ot the lights, locomo
tive headlights 33 per cent, build
ing or street lights, 10 per cent
and' brush fires the remaining 10
per cent. -- -:-:
Brown mountain, the geologist
explained, is a-plateau-like mass
shaped roughly like a horse shoe
pointing northward. It forms ' a
wide ' basin in which the atmos
phere is disturbed by interming
ling air currents of different tem
peratures and density flowing
down the valleys from the Blua
Ridge and other mountains.
Strong lights originating from
any source within It sre viewed at
low angles with the refractive ef
fect of the air at Its maximum.
The result Is that varia!ons on
the atmospheric density and the
changes In direction .Imparted ti
the . lights at their source cause
them to flare and diminish or to
be extinguished and ..give them
their unexpected colors.

day after a road Is worked a heavy

In the nature of things the Buttle
of Genoa has been a personal duel
between Lloyd George and the
former president of the French re
public, who first In private life and
then in. office, has challenged the
British prime minister.
Up to the moment Poincare suc

every contest with the representa

uninterrupted. At Paris he bested
both Clemenceau and Wilson and
each In his turn met with domestic
defeat In consequence, . After
Clemenceau a long line of French
premiers have appeanrd and dis
appeared as a result of collision
with great Welshman. Briand was
only the last1 and his fall was dl
rectly due to his Cannes surrender
to Ueorge. In Italy similar conse
quences have followed, association
with George.
It remained for Poincare to have
recourse to a new policy. Just es

The steel manufacturers were In

tha 12 hour work day he abolished
for th good of Industrial America.
Judge Gary, acting as spokesman

the conference waa to consider the
question "whether or not It Is prsc

the 12 hour work day."

Ktako of Conflict Was

Between I'olncare and George
the stake of the conflict was plain.
If George were successful at Genoa
Poincare was hound to fall and be

insured If he could successfully

Poincare the responsibility ' for
