A. R. in .Memorial l'aradp Lieutenant Colonel Edward A. Sim raons, United States Reserve, was grand tnarshal and master of ceremonies. A list of the organi7ations that marched glon posts of the city and of the other ' military organizations, not forgetting fnr a smgle second the Grand Army of i tne Republic, which was represented by Its commander in chief, Colonel Lewis would be a roster of the American Le- ! B. Pileher. Long before that slowly treading j rolumn had entered the army base a Kreat throng had grouped itself about a plsform before the flag-hung concrete ; wall of one of the warehouses?a structure that during the war shel- ; tered the guns, food, Bhovels and cloth Ing required by those boys whose bodies were there yesterday. There was a reserved seat section, tragicahy commodious in the face of the fact that it was set aside for the relativet of the dead men on the docks. Behind that were thousands of other chairs nnd beyond those were thou? sanda standing, waiting. A group of silk-hatted men arrived ar.d were ush cred to places on the platform. Arch bishop Patrick J. Hayes was there, I Rabbi Joseph Silverman and Bishop Thomas F. Cailor, Senator Calder and Mayor Hylan and a score of others fquaily well known. A band was approaching. As it came r.earer and nearer some of the watchers in the throng sang with it, "Onward Christian Soldiers." Then a whistled command brought silence. fhe masscd colors of the procession, each standard borne by a soldier, were tarried into place beside the stand and they continued to walk to their places jntil a forest of flags bid the harsh background of the concrete wall. Eight Soldiers Bear Body Presently the band. or ono of a half dozen bands, began to play Chopin's fu tieral march. The thousands there un . wvered and as they did so eight sol l ciers, stepping in cadence with the ' eomber music, came into view. On tadr swaying shoulders was the coffin w Charley Graves. But those people in tne reserved section did not know it *ae Charley Graves"s body. It was tpeir own soldier and their feeling was ?<>:ced by an old mother cf Italian P0OO, who rocked her shawl-covered "aa from side to side and cried "Giu J'Vpe." as the coffin-bearers passed her ?

Now that this task ia ended, they will not subinit to a Bubstitution of an in? dustrial autocracy." To-morrow Mr. Gompers plans to call on the miners' chief for a confer? ence, at which, it is indicated. wnys nnd means for co-operation between the American Federation of Labor and the United Mine Workers in furtherino; the interest. of the striking miners will be planned. Theroby is a story in itself, for the meeting of Gompers and Lewis means a burying of the hatchet in an enmity the two have held for some time as the result of political rivalry. IJorah to Meet Lewis Senator Borah said that he also ex pects to be in conference with Mr. Lewis to-morrow. The Senator. who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor, did not go fully into details as to what he expects to discuss with the miners' president, but ns he cxpressed himself as virtually in favor of public ownership of the coal mines, if no other means can be found to stabilize the industry, it is likely this subject will be touched on. "The real facts in connection with 1 this strike are not as yet clear to the public," Mr. Borah said. "I am satis i fied in my own mind as to what they are, but the public appears to be in some doubt. One purpose of my con? ference with Mr. Lewis is to aid me in formulating an arrangement of the facts so that the public may know them \ ?.nd a common ground or c-iurse of ac : tion may be suggested." Senator Borah was asked whether he agreed with the position of the Admin istration that no public emergency has [ developed as the result of the strike. "A public emergency developed at | least ten days ago, when it became ! apparent that moro than 500,000 men j were going to quit work," he replied. "That number of men out of work in l Itself in a public emergency and one I for which the public will pay in the end." Non-Union Aid Indefinite Mr. Lewis worked until late ln the i night preparing his "brief to the ! American people." He was unable to estimate, from the incomplete reports j he has received, how many non-union ! miners have joined the strike thus far. I In this connection, he received one ! report that 5,000 non-union miners are I out ln the important Panhandle mines of West Virginia. "I believe that all the 600,000 miners working undor union contracts will ; remain out," he said. This was on I the estimate that at least 560,000 of i the miners actually hold union cards. It was learned that the miners' lead? ers are not wholly confident that all ? of the non-union miners joining the ! strike can be induced to remain out, ! owing to the fact that they do not ! possess the strength to resist evic | tions, withdrawals of credits and other ; forms of coercion which the miners are expecting some of the operators to put : into effeet. Among other points touched on, ex ? plained or made the basis of charges ! by Lewis in the course of his talk with newspaper men were the following: Not Seeklng Arbltratlon He does not expect to discuss the | strike with President Harding or other \ executive officials. The miners are not seeking arbitra : tion, "which might. destroy the thirty years' work of building up the union," but to cause the operators of the cen? tral competitive field lo meet them in accordance with the terms of the old agreement. The miners still stand ready to meet the operators on this basis. The desire of the operators for a strike, Mr. Lewis said, was shown as far back as two months ago, when they encouraged coal consumers to stock up by saying that a strike was inevitable, thus cr.using. first, a false demand for coal and, second, keeping prices higher than they otherwise would have been. ln this light "the action of the op erators in saying they will reduce __..*_ ? -.-.v.n 15 to 25 cents a ton shows Lhey have been overchargine and are | now casting a sop to the public" When the shut-down is over. provid : ing the strike lr.sts till a shortage de | velops, the market will again be m creased, with steadier production from jthe operators genernlly. less overhead ' and higher profits, Mr. Lewis said. A ? runaway market' may be expected to ' ????rt when 20,000,000 tons of coal now 1 above ground has been exhausted. The public will foot the bill. The non-union production "bugaboo has been much exagrgerated, the miners' president avertcd. The ratio of 75 pef [cent union to 25 per cenl non-union ! coal has remained unchanged for sev - era! years. ' Vluch of the non-union coal to be produced during the strike already bas been conlracted for bv a few large manuf cturing cei porations, and at i ? ? .-. n DP.rtDO ?-.- ? I not be evai' i i.

Reds Push Propaganda Among Hard-Coal Men\ Agilators Drnounee Conserva-; tive Leaders and Urge Miners lo Jfoin One Big Union Special Dispatch to Thr Tribune W1LKES-BARRE, Pa., April 2.?Rad ical propaganda, put oul under the : name of the Industrial Workers of the Wcrld, is flooding the anthracite field. Hard coal operators ar.d conscrvative union leaders are denounced and in flan niatory posters call on the strikers ! to join "one big union." From union | leaders and coal operators comes the report that professional agilators are in the field taking advantage of the! anthracite situation to spread Bolshe- i vik doctrincs. A few reports have been made to the state police of aliens pur chasing guns and pist.ols. Local unions are taking notice of the danger, and many of them have called their mem beiship together to warn them against permitting the Red menace to take root in the coal fields. From one end of the field to another j tht Reds are active. The doctrine of the Communist is being preached open ly where it is possible and under cover when occasion demands it. The anthracite miners expect that their troubles will be over within six weeks. They believe they will get at lease a renewal of their present con? tract and insist they will stand by the loaders and continue the strike indef initely if the opcrators make any effort to cut wages 17 per cent. A fire is raging in the Butler colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. This fire was started, it is believed, by j bootleggers who had a still in part of I the workings. The fire has gained con- j siderable headway. Union leaders is- j sued a permit to strikers to engage in fire fighting und three squada of men ] have been placed at work. Special Dispatch to The Tribune SCRANTON, Pa., April 2.- Joseph Filicki, president of United Mine Workers' Local No. 13, at Old Forge, ! just south of this city, is in a hospital here to-day hovering between life and death, with a fractured skull. He was struck with a beer bottle at midnight last night in an altevcation in a saloon j over the wisdom displayed by union | officials in calling a strike. Several other miners were cut and bruised in I tho melee. Special Dispatch to Th* -Y._-yit? HAZLETON, Pa., April 2.?One of the matters to come up at the confer? ence between committees of the anthracite coal miners and the operators in New York to-morrow, -when | they resumo their negotiations on a new wage agreement, probably will bej in connection with the dismissal of; engineers, firemen and other workers, | who were supposed to remain on duty during the suspension. It is charged that some of the companies in thei Lehigh field have laid off these men j and replaced them with forcmen and [ other officials. Thomas Kennedy, president of the United Mine Workers of the Ilazleton district and chairman of the anthracite scale committee, is expected to ask the operators to give instructions that the engineers and other exempted from the suspension order are not to bc dis criminated against. The conference to-morrow will be at? tended only by the district presidents of the union. The other members of the scale committee will go to New York Wednesday. Strike Settlement in Illinois Predieted Soon Special Dispatch to The Tribune DUQUOIN, 111., April 2.?A predic tion that part settlement of the coal strike will be brought about soon in Illinois, despite any existing "four states agreement," was made to-day by Dr. A. E. Fyke, president of the Marion County Coal Company and a prominent mine operator in the southern Illinois fields. Dr. Fyke, whose companv owns the Chicago Glen Ridge mine, .ocated i at Ccntralia, based his prediction on the belief that whatever strength the 1 union possesses in the western Penn? sylvania fields will soon disintegrate. [ resulting in a return to normal pro ; duction in that region on a non-union j basis. "When that hapnens the logical se quence will be almost immediate feel ers thrown out by Illinois union chiefs looking toward a getting together with the Illinois operators," said Dr. Fyke. He laid the principal blame for the big tie-up upon the refusal of the PeYinsylvania operators to meet union j heads in conference. Illinois mine i heads, he said, had throughout the con i troversy asr-umed a much more con ? ciiiatory attitude toward the union , leaders than the Eastern owners. The situation in the East forced John L. j Lewis, international president of the I United Mine Workers of Ameriea, and Frar'x L. Farrinirton, state president, ; into a corner, where they were, from tn .' -ii. .? ?

In all the towns and villnges of the. coal country th- inhabitants went about their usual Sunday routine, with no hint that 95,000 men in the state aro thrown'idle by the strike. No hint of disorder in southern ll!i-: nois because of the strike was reported , to-day, although several instances of shootings within the mining districts! have been reported since tho strike be came effective. In no case could these i be traced to ill-feoling between tho men and the employers. Each of such cases v.'as attributable to n conhina tion of too much enthu8iasm coupled with too much moonshino. Strikers Hope lo Bring Out JSotuUnion Miners Bpecial Dlspatch to The Tribune PITTSBURGH, April 2?Reports to? day from throughout the bituminous coal field of western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West. Virginia tend to con iirm the belicf that the organized min? or;-, will comply with the strike orders virtually to r man, and thnt in parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio there will be many accessions to the strikers from non-union ranks. In West. Virginia, apparently, the walk-out will make little difference in production. Union officials of Distriet. N'o. 6, the Pittsburgh distriet, passed to-day in the field, holding meetings of miners and Htrengthening their forces in various ways. Officials of Districv No. 2, the Clearfield distriet, occupied the day sim ilarly. Distriet President John Brophy, rcturning this evening from a trip throughout. important mining communi ties of the distriet, said: "The, strike in our distriet is 100 .per cent effective. All nnion miners in the distriet have responded to the strike order." Men reinained away from work in at least two non-union mines on the out skirts of Johnstown and in the Tark Kilo mines. near Conemaugh. The Ber wind-White Company's big shaft at St. Michaels is idle, as also is that com? pany's Xo. 28 mine at Houtzdale. Large numbers of men declare they will not return to work at Windber, according to reports received here to-night. Tho company has put on 150 extra pollcemen with a view of preventing the union men from reaching non-union men and persuading tbe latter to walk out. Ten non-union mines employing about one thousand men in the Punxsutawney region responded to the strike call, union officials say, making the walk-out complete in that region. The opening of the r-triko found 98 per cent of the non-union minera em ployed in the Williamson and Tug River fields of West Virginia sticking to their jobs. Production, according to officials of the coal operators' association, con tinues virtually normal. In Jefferson County, Ohio, the organi? zation oi' tive non-union stripper mines, producing 4,000 tons of coal daily, will be completed Monday, according to Frank Lcdvinka, president of Sub-Dis trlct N'o. 5 of Distriet No. 6, United Mine Workers. With burlap shades over their eyes, thousands of mine mules in western Pennsylvania, thrown into idleness by the coal strike, have emerged from the pitts to begin vacatlons on the pastures of the coal companies and on neighbor ing farms. Hoisted up the shafts from undorground stables, moBt of the anl mals are secing daylight for the first time in months. Anthracite Wage Parley To Resume Here To-day The conferences between the hard coal operators and miners' officials that have been in progress for two weeks ? will be resumed at 2 o'clock this after? noon at the Union League Club. Thilip Murray, vtce-president of the United Mine Workers of America, said yesterday at Hotel Pennsylvania that he did not think even the small per ccntage of miners that refused to an? swer the strike call in various sections of the country, notably in the Altoona j distriet and in West Virginia, Colora 1 do, Kentucky and Alabama, would re i main in the mines very long. "We expect all of these men to go out in a few days," Mr. Murray said, "so that the mine shutdown will be complete. With 600,00 miners on strike the few thousands in the remote sec? tions who refused to drop their picks with the rest do not make very much 1 difference in the grand total." lle said that efforts to unionize the 100,000 men who responded to the ' strike call on Saturday, but who did , not belong to the United Mine Workers i of America, were being made, and he 1 expected they would join the union bc ' fore the end of the strike. i "We are going Into the meeting to : morrow afternoon," Mr. Murray said, "with our demands unr.ltered. We shall ; continue to present them. There has I heen no further word from Washing j ton, so far as 1 know, and we expeci to ' settle the questions involved ourselves." Regarding the situation in Distriet ; No. 2, in Pennsylvania, where the op? erators claim to have an agreement ' with the miners that provided for wage \ meetings prior to the agreement's ex : piration, F. E. Herriman, president of ; the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corpo ; ration, said yesterday that the union | was responsible for failing to hold such j meetings. The Clearfield company is a subsidi i ary of the New York Central Railroad.

Many of these tclegrams were un opened, but, from those aelectod at random the early predictions of the union officials to the effect that mem- \ bers of their organization would "suis pcnd industry" 100 per cent strong j were Bubstantiated, With President Lewis in Washington! and Secretary-Treasurer William Green at his home iu Ohio, interest at head? quarters centered on just what effect tho declaration of the miners' chief for some form of governmental control Of t.he mines would have on Congress. Lookcd upon u-ith interest is the possible attitude of the Indiana oper? ators on the formation of a wage pro posal to the. miners, to be made. at. a meeting in Te-rre IJautn Tuesday of the scale committee of the Indiana Coal Operators' Association. M. L. Gould, president, of the asso? ciation, snid to-night that the eight members of tbe committee would take up the consideration of the wa^," prob lcm, but he, flatly refused to issue a statement regarding what thi'; likely would be. In adition, he refused to discuss or comment on President Lewis's proposal of governmental con? trol of the mines. With the possibility that ."00,000 I miners will he found idle to-morrow | as a result of the suspension uf t.he ! industry, more than twice that number ! will be directly affected, counting j switching crews, car unloadcrs, etc, ! according to those in elose touch with the situation. The miners are placing j much confidence upon being able to ! obtaifi support of the non-union miners. | Organizers of the United Mine Work i ers will be eonst.antly on tho job dur? ing the early part, of the strike. \Lee Denies Miners Asked Trainmen for Money Aid j Insisls Union Will Do Us Part if Appeal Is Made; ISot To He Represented at Meeting Special Dispatch to The Tribune CLEVELAND. April 2.?Emphatic de ! nial that any request for financial as | sistance had been made by the. striking union miners of the Brotherhood of j Railroad Trainmen was made to-night by William G. Lee, president of the I trainmen, at his home in Lakewood, a Cleveland suburb. "The miners have made no appeal," he said. "If they do I feel sure the trainmen will do their part. But so far there has been no intimation that any such appeal would be made, and I do not expect one in the near future." Mr. Lee also denied that the brother? hood would bo represented at any meeting in Chicago or anywhere else to consider what means could be adopt.-o to help the miners. "While our sympathics are with the striking miners in their fight for better working conditions," he said, "we have our own contracts with our cmployers to fulfill. Moreover, sympathetic ! strikes are unlawful and the brother ! hood's first c#nsideration is to be law nbiding." W. S.

Walk-Out JSot General ln West Virginia Mines Miners in the District a Not Organized Remain at Work: Appeals to !\'on-Union Men CHARLESTOX, W. Va., April 2. -- Officials of the United Mine. Workers to-day confined their efforts to address ing non-union men at mass meetings ir. an effort to induce them to join tho coal ptrike. Reports from various sec tions of tho West Virginia mining re gions indicated that the strike is not general, since a number of fields have never been organized or have strayed from the ranks, but the walk-out in tho union mines was complete. Reports from tho Williamson and Tug River fields show that 98 per cent of the non-union men rcmained at work on the first day of the s-trike, while in Marshall County about 1,500 non-union men faiied to report for dut.y. William Roy, vice-president of the Okio United Mine Workers, while at Bellaire to-day, announced that oxders for tho conduct of the union miners may be amended to permit them to produce coal in the "peddling" mines for home consumptlon. The strike order, as it now stands, he said, permits mining of coal only for municipal electric and water plants, churches, schools and hospitals. No efforts were being made to dig coal at the 194 union mines in sub-district No. 5, and save for neces? sary pumping and protective work the fields were idle. Report on Textile Industry Seven-Year Loss to Labor Put at $756,321,000 The Labor Bureau, Inc, yesterday issued a statement of the profits and wages of the textile industry over a period of years in an effort to show that thevo had been a marked decline in the relative figures to date. The figures, which the bureau says are taken from the census reports, nl though they indicate that the return to labor had been growing smaller, never theless show that last year the per ccntago was higher in tho proportlon of 86 per cent to labor and 85 per cent to the operators. The share than went to the owners last year was $158,952, 000. Labor got $292,195,000. Over the entiro period from 1914 to 1921, the statement shows, the loss to labor, figuring on the 1914 purchasing power of the dollar, was $756,321,000.
