ANTHRACITE WORKERS SUP
PORT BITUMINOUS GRO^P
Trouble Centers In the JachooßvMe
Agreement.—Violation la Alleged.
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. IL—lt
was learned today from an authority
high in the miners’ confidence that
the present policy of the United
Mine Workers of America is to de
mand that any government interven
tion in the hard coal industry take
into account the re-establishment of
the Jacksonville agreement in soft
coal.
From now on, it was said wage
contract conditions affecting 158,000
hard eoal miners and 500,000 soft
coal miners must be considered joint
ly by an anthracite mediator to gain
cooperation from the miners’ union.
Anthracite operators recently as
serted belief that the key to the
union’s strategy this summer was a
determination to win redress of al
leged wrongs in soft ooal fields
through hard coal pressure upon
public authorities.
The United Mine Workers deny
this. But they now assume, it was
stated definitely, that the breaking
•off of anthracite seals uegotiatid)#
thetr pledge to the anthracite opCr-’
theyir pledge to the anthracite oper
ators to keep hnrd and soft eoal
operators diverged.
Any agreement now, which would
seek to heal this break, and thus
avert or shorten a costly anthracite
suspension also should take cogniz
ance of wagge cutting and repudia
tion of the Jacksonville contract, ns
alleged in union soft eoal territory by
John L. lewis, president of the
union, and his associates..

(By tbe Associated Press) if
Washington. Aug. 12.—Railroads J
serving the West Virginia smokeless J
coal districts were ordered by the In- ;]
terstate Commerce Commission today
to lay down a new basis of rates 3
which will allow movement of coal
to consuming territory including all

cite. Action was taken after an in- i
vestigation of several months.
One reduction in the anthracite ;
rates affecting all North Caroling
points which now pay an average of I
$7.00 a ton in freight on prepared I
anthracite was required and the Com- j
mission made the measure of the new ;
rate $5.75 tier tou from Pennsylvania j
to North Carolina, requiring railroads 1
to put the uew schedules Into effect i
within 90 days.
The study of rates on the antbra- 1
cite and other fuels for houeehould j
use was undertaken by the commis
sion with the assisstance of the Unit- j
ed Coal Commission and the possibil- |
it.v of making a reductiton of approxi
mately 10 per cent, in anthracite ,
rates was given particular attention.
RAULSTON IS ATTACKED .. "
* BY CLARENCE HARROW
Is Alleged to Have Used Scopes Case
For His Own Political ExptoKg. •
tion. J
Chicago. Au£ 11.—Clarence -D>ufc,
row. defense counsel in the John T.
Scopes Tennessee evolution trial, to
day charged that Judge John T.
Raulston, who presided at the trial,
used the ease to further his own po
litical ambitions.
Mr. Darrow, who is in Greeley,-
Colo., made his charges in a telegram' ;
to the Chicago Daily News in answer
to criticism of Mr. Harrow’s con-,
duct at the trial voiced by Judge
Raulston in an address here last
Sunday at a memorial meeting for
William Jennings Bryan. Judge
Raulston in his address referred
particularly to citing Mr. Darrow I
for contempt and said that Mr.
Bryan asked the leniency to be
shown his adversary. Mr. Harrow's
telegram to the News follows: •
“Judge Raulston was elected on a
fluke and is now campaigning for :
re-election this fall. The trial was
part of his campaign. He called the
grand jury and asked them to indict
Scopes in a hurry so that the case '
could be tried in his district. The in
dictment was illegal, as it was
brought too soon after convening of
a special grand jury, so the judge
had him re-indicted a month later, on
the day of the trial.
“On Sunday, three days before the
case was closed Mr. Bryan spoke -
twice in Dayton. Raulston waa 1
present at both meetings nnd sat on
the platform at one. He paraded his
fundamentalism all through the trial
and has given the people of Chicago
a chance to see what kind of trial ;
could have been held before him. ’, 5
“It was perfectly proper to call
Mr. Rryan, a recognized expert on
the Bible, to testify as to meaning of
story of creation. The questions ask
ed him were perfectly civil, but when
the examination had only commenc
ed. the judge came into court in the
morning and took Mr. Bryan off the
stand without any motion to that ef
fect being made in court.
“The judge may be glad he has a
limited education. One can not al
ways avoid being ignorant, but few
boast of it.
“The incident citing me for con
tempt is absorb. I did feel o con
tempt for his unfairness. I did show
it. as often happens by lawyers
court. 1 did npoUggize as I should
have done. This constantly happen*
in the court and the judge knows, al
though it never happened to me be
fore.”
