(By the Associated Press) The recent . strike In tho coal Industry caused a total loss of Hr-rju.tfoo.ooo, j. a. Bradley of Dundbn, W. Va., former president of the National Coal asso- ia,llon..14v'-'1ai'e(l hero today hefuru the International convention of the American Mining 'congress. Resolu tions condemning the paternalistic ' attitude of the government deplor ing the .eptrunco of government intu private business enterprises and en couraging Industrial co-operation be tween industry and Capital as a means, of increasing production, aug menting i prosperity- and lowering prices were Introduced and sent to the resolutions committee. According to II r. Bradley, the loss In wages by the United Mine Work ers of America, estimated by the American Educational association was 460,00,000; the loss to rail roads over $300,000,000; the loss tn the public In the cost of fuel 400, 000,000 and the loss to the mine ope rators $40,000,000. Mr. Bradley asserted that the coal fields In tho state of Washington Colorado, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken tucky and that part of West Virginia, south of the Knnawa river, have passed from control of the United Mine Workers. Conditions entirely outside of the coal industry, tho- strike and a coal famine, Mr. Bradley declared, result ed in tho ngreement of operators arid miners In the northern and west ern states which "restored the wage rates in effect to April 1, 1022, and undid the work of the after war ad justment which had. made rapid strides in 1921." "Many harsh things have been said about the arbitrary methods of the operators of West Virginia indepen dent districts," he added, "but every user of coal owes them a debt of gratitude for keeping up the supply which tided the country over the summer."

K. K. nightrklliiB cases have been filed both by the state and the defense, the latter filing its opening brief last Saturday, and the ionner filing its written argument yes terday with the clerk of the circuit court Another brief will be filed by the defense. The demurrers, which were original ly filed by the defense, attack the right of the county to investigate the outrages, the method of procedure in the grand Jury room, in fact, most of the contentions brought out in the mo tions to quash the indictments last week, which were overruled by the court. Whether the cases will come to trial at the next term of court or not is a question. The stnte is anxious to pre sent the issue to a jury. Attorney O. C. Hoggs, this noon characterized them as "political indictments," and doubtful "whether they should be brought to trial on the eve of an elec tion." No definite conclusion has been reached. The indictments tread a long legal path. If the demurrers are sustained in the action now ponding, the indict ments are automatically quashed. If overruled, the next step is receiving tho pleas of ..the six defendants, and then the right to request a change of venue Is open. Smoked alonz 1500 miles of Coast ' EtSttlefo ! CIGAR.

ELECTRIC STATIC EXPLODES TRUCK E WASHINGTON, Oct. A -big tank truck transporting gasoline was blown up by a terrific explosion on the street recently, because a passerby who didn't know what he was doing picked up a piece of chain. He saw the chain dangling by one end from the truck and thought he would possibly save the truck from being wrecked through fouling the chain in one of the wheels. The man didn't know the chain was hanging there for a purpose. He didn't know that gasoline, unlike water, is non-conductor of electricity. Tossibly he didn't even know that flowing gaso line, especially when strained through such materials as chamois skin filters sets up considerable charges of fric tlonal or static electricity. But that was what caused the truck's destruc tion. . ' ; Usually . when the big tank truck backs up to the filling plug at a service station or other storage place, the me tallic nozzle from the truck touches the metallic Intake pipe and thus forms a ground for nny charge of sta tic electricity that may collect in the truck. Sometimes, however, the noz- zle does Dot touch a grounding point, and with no other metallic ground from the truck, tho car is perfectly insulated, standing us it does on rub ber tires. Sometimes, also, the nozzle of the truck outlet pipe rests against a wooden piece in the intake pipe and is thereby likewise insulated, for dry wood is also an insulntor. While the gasoline is poured into the storage tank a certain amount of vapor arises, and there Is certain to be come about the intake and the truck. The flow of the liquid will set up a static charge in the truck. As tho charge increases, It , may become strong enough to leap the gap to the nearest ground, or the two points may he brought Into contact. There is a spark, a flash, an explosion and untold damage may result. Consequently the careful tank driver always has a metallic part hanging from the truck to the ground, a rod or chain, to drain off the electric charge as it collects. . NOTED TRAVELER TONIGHT 1ST METHODIST "Where do you live?' inquired the reporter of Bishop Homer C. Stuntz today. 'In tho world, but I get my mail at Omaha ut present," responded the genial globe trotter, who is sched uled to speak at tho First Methodist Episcopal church tonight. Through a break In the bishop's schedule, Medford will- have the good fortune of hearing -thia Clninent di vine. His subject will be.

He speaks fluently In seve ral languages, and has preached to people of foreign lands In eighty eight different languages and diu- eets. Some of this, of course, has been through interpreters. "I heard Bishop stuntz at Eugene Tuesday evening- said "ilov. Sasnett tills morning, and 1 can nssure the people that 1 havo never heard any man so well qualified by a back ground of world contact nor more able to speak on this subject. In an address sparkling with wit and hu mor, the llishop made every patriotic American's breast swell with pride, nnd at the same time made his au dience see America's strategic rela tionship to every world problem." "You niny say," continued Rev. Sasnett, "that the address will bo of Interest to tho public. The peoplo fi Medford are invited. The hour will be seven forty-five." NEW ORLEANS, La.; 'Oct 12.

SPECIAL AGENT OF HERE OCTOBER 18 For the purpose of interviewing nil disabled World War veterans of this' community relative to government compensation, vocational training, hos pitalization and wur risk insurance, I V. F. Loomls, special contact repre-l sentatlve of the United States Voter-1 nns Hureuu, will arrive In Medford Oct. IS -for a period of three days, ac cording to an announcement received hero today. Mr. Loomls stated in an advance communication that all former service people who can prove that they are disabled 10 percent or more because of war service are entitled to federal compensation and that those who are unable to carry on their pre-war occu pations because of war injuries are entitled to vocational training at the expense of the government. Veterans seriously ill from war disabilities should be hospitulizcd Immediately, he stated. Hundreds of veterans, it is believed, are also ready to reinstate their war risk insurance. "Because of the fact that the Veter ans' Bureau is but one year old, there are some things for disable! veterans of the northwest district still undone," said Mr. Loomls. "However, I believe It is safe to say that rapid progress is being made in developing nn organiza tion which will properly care for In jured service people and rehabilitate those who are able to take vocational education."
