Coal Operators Fear Antitrust Laws Says Coal Operators Fear Antitrust Laws
Mine operators in the central competitive bituminous coal field refuse to meet miners on a new labor agreement fearing conspiracy in restraint of trade charges. George H. Cushing of the American Wholesale Coal Association says the operators welcome a possible strike to end the checkoff system, which withholds miners union dues, and notes a three month coal stock. He cites indictments of operators and union officials in 1920 and a 226-operator grand jury case in Indianapolis as reasons not to repeat the same legal exposure, contending public officials’ wage conference campaigns risk misrepresentation. He claims unions aim to organize nationwide wage accords and eventual nationalization of mines through public opinion.

Episcopal Protestors Seek Separate Parish Status
Members of the congregations at St David's St Patrick's and Alban's adopted resolutions at Shull's factory on the Conduit road to maintain a separation and continue efforts for a distinct parish while avoiding services at chapels under parish authorities. The dispute with Rev Charles Warner began in February 1920 after vicar J L Saunders was asked to resign. Protestants have since held Sunday services at Shuil's factory led by Rev F J Green, a former army chaplain, with a diocesan petition denied by the recent convention.
