ATLANTlt‘. CITY. N. J.. .xiig. :2.
-——.\lincrs' union officials and anthra-
cilo coal operators who yesterday
broke on wage negotiations for their
industry were still in the city today
awaiting whatever communication
might‘ come to them from the Uni-
ted Statcs coal comimssion. or other
agency of the federal government.
On September 1st, the present
contract fixing the wages and condi-
tions of employment for all the
unionized mine workers in the an-
thracite region expires.

Repoaiel attempts \to get an
agreement as to the terms of u. con-
tract to continue the employment
relations after that date have failed
even with the coal coniiss'on's inter-
ventiou.

Mr. Lewis today reiterated his
statement that the union would "ad-
minister to the anthracite operators
the trouncing of their careers."

The operators had nothing to add
to their declaration that repeated
offers on their part to submit every
point in dispute to arbitration had
been fruitless. What government

. CROSS” STUNT
0F REPORTERS?

Photograph of Calf
Pasture Saturday
Burning Appearing
in Newspapers '

HOAX, ’TIS‘CALLED

Second Cross Lighted
Monday Night at
Marvin Hill by Boys
on Lark

 

'v'as the burning of the fiery cross
at Calf Pasture beach on Saturday
cwninir a. publicity stunt?

This is the question that is being
asked by many in this city today. A
Photographer was present at the
burning of the cross and today a
photograph of the burning cross 8p-
poured in a Connecticut newspaper.

One resident near Calf Pasture
stated that the burning of the cross
caused a. treat deal of excitement in
that section. but he also added that
the presence of a newspaper man
made things look kind of fishy.

"A newspaper man is not welking
around in a deserted section of the
country at midnight looking for Kn
Kim: Klan mectingb. unless the at-
fair is arranged ahead of time.”
said this resident.

One of the campers who was on
the beach at the time of the burning
stated that he thought the other two
men were newspaper writers.

On Monday evening residents of
that section were again startled
when a number of men dashed down
to Marvin's hill in an automobile
with a. large cross in the rear of the
car and set it up on Marvin's hill
and again attracted the country side
by lighting the cross.

When the neighbors in the section
noticed the cross burning from Lian
vin's hill on Monday evening a num-
ber of them flocked to the scene.
Some of the residents became
frightened as it was thought that
this was another demonstration of
tho Klan.

It was later learned that this was
a okc that was played by a num-
bci of young men in that section.

So it begins to look as if Nor-
walk was not. visited by,the Ku Klux
Klan on either occasions. hit by an
over cncr~:-:t'.c newspaper reporter
on Sitizrday evening at Cell Pasture
beach. who hoped to get a good
story and by a bunch of young men
on Monday evening. _

None of the men who were at Cal!
Pasture on Saturday evening wore.
hoods and this was one of the rea-
sons why it was thought that the
men were. not. members of the Klan.
but they walked around in the open
and did not seem to try to hide their
identity.

The local authorities have not
taken any action in either case.‘ but
it is known that a policeman visitel
the scene or the burning on Monday
cgening at Marvin‘s hill and the case
is being investigated.

over on the other west bound track.
The planks on the bridge were

zit—The
reply to the

French
recent

France refuses to withdraw from the
Ruhr except as she is paid and that
she rejects a plan for an interna-
tional re-estimate of Germany's ca-
pacity to pay.

The reply. made public at the for—
clgn office today, maintains tin! the
French operation in the Ruhr '3, ab-
solutely legal. It offers to consider
the easiest method of exacting pay-
ment from Germany when resistance
has ceased and expresses a willing-
ncss to continue to recent discus-
sions with Great Britain.

The French position remains un-
changed, according to the official.
summary of the reply issued in
English at the foreign office prior
to publication of the complete text.

Premier Poincare. in the reply.
stresses the priority of reparations
over other war costs as represented
by the inter-i llied debts.

“France‘ ncv'er repudiated the
debts she contractorl during the war
either to England or to America, in
to interest of the common victory"
the note asserts. .

France is also the creditor for the
other Allies {or five or six billion
gold marks. the summary continues.
but "there can be no doubt but that
in the minds of those who draftel
the tresty. damages to persons and
property were -to be granted priority
over war costs." Therefore, asks the
note. it is to be supposed that ‘-'such
war costs. which the Allies agreed
should rank after reparations. after
pensions. and after the damage stip-
ulated in the treaty. and which they
do not claim from Germany are
now to be claimed by the 'Allies from
oaclvother before Germany has even
begun to pay .US?"
