Replying to threats from the miners that they would stop work September 1 unless the minority report of the commission, recommending a higher award than provided in- the majority, were accepted, the President stated definitely that the majority award would not be set aside. Toe majority report of the commission granted wage increases of 20 and 17 per cent above the present wage scale. The 20 per cent wage increase was awarded contract miners and the advance 01 11 per cent was recommended for company miners, monthly men, miners' laborers and consideration miners.. The minority report recommended a minimum wage of six dollars a day for adult day laborer? and an increase of 31 per cent for contract workers. In refusing the request of *he miners for acceptance of the minority report, as made in a telegram hent through their local representatives, the President called atention to a resolution adopted by the miners In convention agreeing to accept the findings of such a commission as he appointed. "By all the laws of honor wh' b i civilization rests," the President in i iis telegram to the miners adocd, ' "l * Anv mat pienge snuuiu uc juiuuiw. , ntimation that the anthracite mire 1 vorkers will refuse to work under ;he aw ard because it does not grant ; :hem all that they expected is a re- ? lection upon the sincerity of the mer ] vho constitute the backbone of the J immunity in which they live." 1 The President further told the min- 1 :rs that if their communication was 1 neant as a threat they could rest as- i iured that the challenge would be acrepted and that the people of the ? :ountry would find some substitute 4 !uel to tide them over "until the real 1 ;entiment of the anthracite minp 1 vorkers can find expression and they ire ready to abide by the obligations < hey have entered into." i u 1 fANDERBILT LEAVES J $15,000 TO HIS BUTLER ! i lis Daughter's Children - Given $1,000,000 Each?Sons Receive $2,500,000. < New York, Aug. 28.?The Marquis 1 >f Blanford and Lord Ivor Churchill ' iave been left $1,000,000 each by . heir grandfather, William K.

COX'S 1 CHARGES AS FALSE I eSn CHAIRMAN HAYS REPLIES TO ; DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE-OFFERS NO PROOF, HE SAYS ; , || . The Associated Press Saturday seat 'i out this report: Will H. Hays, chair- <' man of the Republican National Committee, replying to the speech of Gov- js ernor Cox in Pittsburg last night, in < which the Democratic presidential N nominee sought to prove that Republicans were conspirng to buy the pxeeidency, declared that Mr. Cox had such "intimate knowledge of the ^ wasting of millions in aircraft pro- ;< duction" during the war, that he 'js "dreamed in millions." After studying Mr. Cox's speech Mr. Hays issued the following state- ' ment at Republican headquarters: "Of course, Candidate Cox fails to ' prove as he has failed to prove and || will fail to prove his charges. This is .] simply because the charges are false. "He says millions have been put into the Republican National Committee by sinister influences to corrupt '. "^j the electorate. He first is reported # to have said a hundred million. Then Secretary Roosevelt said thirty million. Then Candidate Cox said fifteen million, while now Candidate ' -j Cox says eight million. "He 3ttempt3 to prove this by qUot- | '* ing from the official bulletin of the *Jj Ways and Means Committee of the Republican National Committee, a pamphlet published every few days and sent broadcast over the country .'J to party members and to newspapers, * all to instill interest among the workers, and from an alleged quota sheet which he claims indicates the amounts to be raised by certain dties, \ which he does not even charge waa adopted or any operation had thereunder. "Candidate Cox, himself a million- " aire. has had such intimate knowledge sf the wasting of millions in aircraft production in,his state, and Secretary -</; Roosevelt has had such an intimate knowledge of the burnings of billions | jy the administration of which he has seen an important part that these / nen dream in millions. "They will have an opportunity in Chicago to prove this insult to the thousands of good citizens all over the country which are counted in the " M Republican party. "Incidentally they will have a ihance next week to indicate the ;ource of their own money, both of their national committee and other agencies outside of their national committee raising money to try to aid h Candidate Cox's lection." Replying to Mr. Hays statement, George White, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said: "The mask is off. The plan is obvious. Governor Cox has rendered a iistinct service to the country. "It is up to the Senate Investigating Committee to give the public additional information and figures which Hays and Treasurer Upham, of ibe Republican National Committee, have. Information thus given before i Republican investigating committee ~ will only serve to emphasize the fact ivhirVi fkwpmnr Co* has alreadv railed to public notice." o ?.Vote for Kinder for Sheriff. o Splendid lot of children's drone* ?oing at sacrifice prices at E.
