IS NOT AFRAID OF HIS EDITORIAL JOB Watts Treats Bailey's At tacks at All Times in Silent Contempt. oitiias nmw tntan TAtaniMras uorai. Itl SHOCK BiltKI.BY) RAI.EKill. July 10. Out with I retort before the average news paper rener could workhro'ugh J. W. Ralley's Monday morning volume. Maxwell Gorman avers that he left off the halo In paint ing the pli'turn of Mr. Bailey and the Seventh District solicltorshlp contest on his own accord and not because of his Job in Colonel Watts' office. He failed to see the halo In the original setting, and he did not propoHe to camouflage his political painting. The Gorman weekly news letter .of July 4, Is not the first one that has differed with liailey, he would tell him, and furthermore, he would like him to know he has no apologies for such a drastic stand. "I tell him plainly that Colonel Watts has never dic tated to me with reference to my writings." This from Gorman was a denial of Railey's charge that the" Commissioner of Revenues influ ence prompted tho unfavorable news article. Anyway the Colonel has not been In Raleigh since the day before the second primary and therefore could not have dictated a news article to Gorman. If Colonel Watts were in Ral eigh It Is doubtful that he would have anything to say In his own defense. He has accepted Bailey's attacks on him In silent contempt, treating them as though he. did not consider them worth a reply. Gorman, however, puts In a bit of spicy retort In answer to this latest of the incessant contribu tions to North Carolina newspapers by Mr. Bailey. "I never messed myself up so that other true blue Democrats ever had any difficulty In recogniz ing me as one of the tribe and I never attempted to Jump an un bound to win without my help and willing racer that 1 knew was claim that my spurs were the cause of his victory." Unmistak ably, he was jibbing Bailey again on the third, told the world that paln after the first primary re turns showed the heavy weight lit tle fighter had lead the nelil. . "The fact that I am holding a desk in the State Departri-mt of Revenue need not be emphasized to the newspaper readers of North Carolina beyond laying that I am as much entitled to it as any man in the employ jf tho State Gov ernment and I dD my work faith fully and satisfactorily and earn every cent I receive the Hist and only "Job" I ever asked for or re ceived at the hands ot my Demo cratic friends." Gorman does not let the oppor tunity pass without taking a fling t the Raleigh correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News who sees In his anti-Bailey writing in the weekly Raleigh. Union Herald approaching days of trouble for him. Gorman is editor of this labor weekly In addition to the handling of correspondence for several weekly newspapers and holding down his six day a week Job In the Revenue Department. The Dally News correspondent. In the Bailey camp one day, with his enemies the next and back again o nthe third, told the world that Gorman was on thin Ice la so far as. the editorial sanctum of the Union Herald was concerned. Gorman calls this correspondent the "Journalistic Jonah of North Carolina." Bailey's Monday morning con tribution extending itself into an invitation for the people of North Carolia to Invite him to become Governor, no one came In for an attack on this score and no reply was therefore, forthcoming from Gorman.

It was stresaed. how ever, by officials that these talks were only the opinion of Individual members nnd was not taken as ac tion by the Association. Shortly after 10 o'clock yester day , morning the program was opened with prayer and the con vention called to order by W. A. Elliott, of the Jacksonville Times Union, President. Reports were scheduled from various committees on advertising, legislative, special legislative, Audit Bureau of Circu lation, traffic, membership, Alas- linn development, newsprint, Print ers School, association relations cost and photo engravers. Several of the reports were deferred and action will be taken during the re mainder of the program. U. J .

Louisi ana, and Pulatka Post, Florida, suspended publication during the past year and were therefore marked from the roll of the asso elation. The applications were ap proved. The address of the president fea tured the opening session and Mr. Elliott said In part: "It Is not my Intention to tire you by reviewing tne activities of our association since the last convention.

UNION OFFICIALS DELAYING ANSWERS President Desires to Have the Production of Coal Resumed. WASHINGTON. July 10 Pres ident Harding today placed before leaders of employers and employes of the anthracite and unionized bituminous mine fields a govern ment plan for settling the coal strike, it called for Immediate re sumption of work by miners now nut, at wage rates of March 31 last for fixing of permanent wage lev els by arbitration, and for an In vestigation to recommend solu tions of permanent problems In the coal Industry. All representatives of the groups concerned had tonight delayed definite answers tn the proposal although union officials informed the President they had no power to give acceptance or refusal, but would summon the general policy committee ot the United Mine Workers of America here Saturday to consider tho matter. A day of conferences at the White House and at other offices with Secretaries Foil, Hoover and Davis and Attorney General Daugherty participating, was taken to bring matters to this atage. Alfred M. Ogle, Chairman of the bituminous operators group, indicated that his associates con sidered an arbitration plan they had offered last week, for distri bution settlements, "the beat and fairest way" to get the mines open but John li. Lewis, President cf the Union, classed this "as obso lete In the light of the President's proposals." Anthracite operators although their committee waa three times at the White Houre, maintained silence. Plan for Arbitration Prevents Deadlock. Both bituminous amt iHithrsnlte sections of the general conference of the coal Industry hod Indicated a deadlock today before President Harding brought forward the ar bitration plan. The governmu.it "concerned with coal production sufficient to meet the industrial and trarei'iortatlon requlriment of the country," he said, "desired to have production resumed. " He proposed that mine workers should return on the old wage scale and that a commission of five representatives of the public, three of the miners and three of the operators, should fix before August 10, a temporary basic wage scale to be held In effect until March 1, 1923. If its deliberations ahould not reault In a scale by August 10, the President further suggested' that the wage levels at the time work was stopped should continue until a new scale was ready. In addition. . the commission firupoKu, me r-resicieni A.l!a,iea- snouiu invesiignie exnausiiveiy every phase of the coal Industry," and "reveal every cost of produc tion and transportation." Con gress would be asked, it was add ed, to make appropriations to fi nance and authorize Its work. "I have taken this short cut to the resumption of operations be cause I believe It is In the Inter est of the public welfare," the President concluded. "When two great forces do n. t ngroe there must bs a peaceable -vay to ad justment and such arbitration opens the way." He enjoined all participants to give the proposal consideration In separate conferences and this was done immediately. The miners tformulated their temporary an swer In a letter explaining that the national officers and district presidents called Into the meet ing were without the authority to render a definite judgment upon your several suggestions and are In no manner authorized to bind the members of the United Mine Workers of America with respect to our recommendations." President Lewis of the union, aald the officers, would not discuss the recommendations they might make to the full policy committee which haa 126 members, but ex plained that it had full power to act. Chalran Ogle, after various de liberations with his associates, the bituminous operators, dec.'ac3d that the general arbitration plan had not been voted upon and that an answer to the President might De delayed.
