End of Soil Coal
Strike Not Settlement
But Victory lor 0; S.I
i
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. Termina
tion of the soft coal strike was not
a settlement but a victory for the gov
ernment, Attorney General Falmer to
day told the senate subcommittee in
vestigating the strike.
"The government has won its fight,"
Mr. Palmer said. "There was no set
tlement, in actuality the men an 1 the
union officers have complied with our
demands and returned to work "
Mr. Palmer said department of jus
tloe action began with the preparation
of injunction proceedings against offi
cials of the mmeis' union under the
Leer act.
We sought to prevent the strike. "
he said, "by enjoining the union offi
cers from carrying on the strike tbe
had alrcadv ordered"
"You never changed your mind that
the strike was a breach of law?" Sen
ator Townsend, Republican, of Michi
gan, inquired.
'I never have," Mr. Palmer return
ed. The injunction was issued and
is still in effect."
He added that the miners now were
obeying the order of the court.
"i)id they always obey it?' Senator
Townsend asked
The letter of the court order was
obeyed from the first," was the reply,
"but insofar as getting men actually
back lo work, It was not so successful
as we had expected"
'You considered that the order wa:
violated, did you not?" Senator Town
send continue.
"I did. And we instituted further
proceedings because we had some evi
dence that the order was not brnng
obeyed in good fn it h by some of the
union officials."
Grand jury investigation, Mr Palmer
Bard, Still was going on, Involving the
whole question
Mr. Palmer explained that the in
junction was intended to separate the
strikers from their leaders and the
union funds.
"Was there anv thing said to th de
fendant officers of the union which
would make them understand that no
further prosecution would be com
menced against them?" Senator Town
send inquired
Xot one word" Mr. Palmer said
At the request of Senator Townsend,
Mr. Palmer described the conditions
.leading up lo court action. He told
of efforts of Secretary Wilson to me
diate between the miners and opera
i tors.
' After a deadlock ensued In Wash
ington," he continued, "Dr. Garfield
was brought In and he told both the
operators and 'miners that the price
of coal could not be increased one
cent to pay wage increases, basing
his findings on calculations which he
had thai a wage increase ot 14 pet
cent could be given the men and paid
by ihc operators without increasing
thf present price of coal.
"This proposal the minors rejected
and all parties returned home. ! then
i settled down to go through the figKt t
the end. resolved to see the Injunction
order obeyed as best as I could in
the hope that production of coal would
be gradually resumed."
Mr Palmer then told of the confer
en e he had with John U Lewis and
William Green, president and secre
tar of the miners' tinion on Decem
ber 6, which was arranged by John J
Keegan, of the department of labor.
Mr Palmer said that when Lewis
and Green arrived from Indianapolis,
ne toiu uierri mm- , , , i nnieni a poM
tion would be maintained and that no
change in it would be permitted
'Was Dr. Garfield's plan consider
ed?" Interrupted Senator Townsend
"At the conference with these gen
tlemcn." Mr Palmer said, "I infoimed
them that if the men went back to
work the president's assurance of a
fair settlement would be carried out
They plead d for a ol per cent adance
in wages, but I said that was not my
part of the job. I told them tbe gov
eminent could not surrender to the
I'nited Mine Worker and was bound
to win in the end. The president, the
department of justice and the federal
court had agreed. They loft me at sev
en p. m without saying what they
were going to do, but came back later
with Mr Tumulty, secretury to the
president. I then ad to them the
president's statement of December 6
and mey announced that they were
ready to acquiesce in it. '
Mi. Palmer said that between
the two meetings, he talked
"They left me at 7 p. in. without
saying what 'hey were going to do, but
came back later with Mr. Tumulty,
Becrstan to the president. I then
read to them the president's statement
of December 6. and they announced
I thai the were ready to acquiesce rh
it."
i Mr. Palmer said be. talked with Fuel
Administrator Garfield
"He was in accord with your at
tempt to gel a settlement?" Senator
Townsend asked.
"Don't call it a settlement," Mr.
Palmer replied I made no compro
mise, no concessions with the men ex-1
cept one which was that the presi
dent's statement of December 6 be;
withheld until they could give it to
their union associates at Indianapolis
'first. 1 yielded to their request on
i that point
"There was no material difference
between Dr. Garfield's plans which
called for a return of the men to work
and a creation of a consultative bod
to investigate and report as to the,
facts on which a new wage agreement
might he arrived at, and the presi-
dent's plan '
Senator Wolcott, Democrat, Dela
ware, questioned this conclusion.
"I knew what the president meant
by his statement." Mr Palmer re
ported The agreement with the min
, ere wri drawn accordingly."
"Did you discuss with Lewis and
Green how the commission was to get
this power of fixing wages and
prices?" asked Senator Frelingbuyaen,
Republican. New Jersey, chairman or
the committee.
"I did not," Mr. Palmer replied. He
explained thai the memorandum of
'agreement was drawn up on the train
which took his party and Lewis and
Green trom Washington to Indian
apolis. "Did the president appnne that
memorandum?" Senator Townsend
' asked.
"He did." Mi Palmer replied "1
wired (he memorandum to him'
' Did you submit it io Lewis and
Green first?"
"Yes."
