President Lewis of Miners An
nounced Last Night After
Conference That Strike Will
Go Into Effect Nov. 1.
Washington. Oct. 24. Efforts of
Secretary Wilson to avert a strike of
rift coal miners iauea wnigni, wiieu
ainers rejected the proposal from
President Wilson that controversies
he arbitrated. Operators previ
ously had accepted the proposal after
i miners' rejection of a conference.
The two scale committees here were
idjourned with every prospect that a
rnke would take place on November
President Lewis, of the miners, an-
sounced after the break-up of the
inference the strike would go into
effect November 1. -
Coal dealers represented in the
American wholesale coal, association.
ni doing an annual business of a
undred million tons in the principal
ities of the country, pledged their
ftorts today to prevent any increase'
j the price of coal as a result of the
spending strike, or after such strike
t called.
The association recommended to
innan. Frelinphuysen, and ,members
if the senate committee investigating
al prices that to insure coal for pub
x utilities, including tho railroads,
a event of a strike, the war de part
sent will be asked to put the draft
aw into operation to supply mines
ith workers.
Final appeal was made to Presi-
wnt Wilson today to prevent the
trike after miners and operators,
meeting Jointly with Secretary Wil-
'm, had turned down two propositions
5 negotiate a new wage agreement.
While on the point of breaking up.
he two groups, heeding the plea of
secretary Wilson, agreed to return at
o'clock this afternoon to receive a
".ssage the secretary hoped to bring
"om the president.
Both sides rejected the new wage
roposal. Mr. "Wilson then pleaded
ith leaders not to break up, but to
-nurn at 4 o'clock, stating that mean
while he would get in touch with the
Thite House. The meeting was held
'"tether with the two groups dls-
1 cased separately what course thev
oi'.d take.
The operators would not accept be-
ause the miners refused to withdraw
e strike order, and Mr. "Wilson then
me forward with still another pro-
josal for settlement on which both
des immediately went to work. -
This provided for a straight increase

th an increase in the same ratio for
machines and other classes of labor.

should be an eight-hour day, "from

LEWIS RELATES
COAL DIGGERS'
STRIKE VIEWS
Mine Workers' President As
serts Wages Are Too Low to
Equal the High Cost of Liv
ing. R InMN .1. I FWIfi.
. , -
Figures officially collected show that
the ( average income for the Illinois
mine 'workers for 1918 was $1,434; for
Indiana mine workers, $1,400; for Ohio
mine workers, $1,250, and for Western
Pennsylvania mine workers, $1,200.
The output of coal in 1918 was the
largest in the history of the coal in
dustry, and the miners worked more
days that year and produced more coal
per man than ever before; therefore,
the wages which they earned in 1918
represent the extreme peak of their
earning records.
These figures should be a complete
answer to the statement of the op
erators that the coal miners of the
country have enjoyed enormous in
comes. -
State and government statistics for
the years from 1913 to 1919 show also
that the average incomes of the mine
workers' lii" these " four" states " for all
of . those years, was approximately as
follows: Illinois, $800 to $850; Indiana,
$800; Ohio, $700; Western Pennsyl
vania, $700.
The government recently issued a
bulletin from the bureau of statistics
ot the Department of Labor in which
it was stated that after a careful and
exhaustive survey of the country the
bureau had concluded that the average
American family of four required an
income of $2,500 a year in order to
maintain a decent standard of living.
We contend that the wages of the
miners under the Washington agree
ment would not permit the miner to
give his family the kind of living that
it is entitled to. We cite these facts
in order that the public may know ex
actly the reason why the miners de
cline to continue to work under the
Washington agreement until March 31,
1920.
That the public is about to be goug
ed by coal operators because of the
coming strike of miners is evident from
statements credited to operators and
published in the newspapers. Some are
quoted as saying the price of coal will
rise one dollar on the ton by the end
of the week.
The public has a right to know that
there is no reason in the world why
the price of coal should advance at
this time except that some one wishes
to make an enormous profit.
Any concern that Increases tho p.-ice
of coal to the consumer at this t"rr.e
is a plain every-day profiteer, and if
there is any way under the law by
which profiteers may be prescuted, the
profiteer who seeks to gouge the pub
lic by advancing coal prices at this
time merits the undivided attention of
the authorities.
- The strike that has been called by
the United Mine Workers does not
take effect until November first, and
there will be no suspension of work
until that date. Therefore, there will
be no interruption of coal production
before November first.
Coal operators never made as much
money in their lives as they have made
in the past two years, and yet they
come forth now with a statement that
the price of coal is to be advanced an
other dollar per ton.

"BLUE BIRD" IS
TEACHING MANY
JOYS OF FLIGHT
Pensacola people have been quick
to take advantage of the opportunity
offered by Lieut. Arthur Whltted for
flights above the city and Pensacola
harbor in his new F-type flying boat.
The "Blue Bird." as the ship , is
called, from the deep blue color It is
painted, was seen yesterday in nearly
a score of flights. At the height, of
from one thousand to fifteen hundred
feet, the city, waterfront, shipyard.
Bayou Chico and Texar are unrolled
in a fascinating map that will impress
any beholder with a wonderful idea
of the attractions of Pensacola and
Its environs. Just now with the flo
tilla of destroyers in the harbor an
added feature is given to the flights.
The many ships flying at the naval
air station are not permitted to take
up civilian passengers and Lieut.
Whitted's enterprise is heartily wel
corned in affording those who desire
the sensation of getting a real bird's
eye view of Pensacola,
While Lieut. Whitted has had sev
eral years of flying experience in near
ly all types of machines he attempts
no "stunts" with passengers and he Is
rated as one of the best and safest
pilots in the service.
Among those, who have gone up In
the "Blue Bird" in the first two days

LITERATURE IN EVIDENCE
Would-Be Instigators of Revolu

Mostly ; Russians, Witness
Tells Committee.
Washington, Oct. 24. Followers of
Lenine and Trotsky in the steel city
of Gary, Indiana, which is patrolled
by troops as a result of violence dur
ing the steel strike, grew so bold this
summer that they attempted organ
ization of the "Red Guards" with dis
charged soldiers. Lieutenant Donald C.
Van Buren. military intelligence offi
cer, today told the senate labor com
mittee. Lieutenant Van Buren who is on the
staff of Major General Wood in com
mand of the troops at Gary laid be
fore the committee scores of pamph
lets, circulars and propaganda tracts
along with statements of men ar
rested after the military occupation,
to back .up his assertion that the
agitators at Gary were urging the
workers to get ready and get pre
pared to take over the Industries and
the government and run it themselves.
Some of the circulars were signed
by the German-American Citizens
League, which he said would support
any kind of anti-American agitation.
Speaking of efforts to get the agita
tors deported, Van Buren said, "It
seems as if you have to get them with
a bomb in their hands before the im
migrating officials will act."
Oscar E.. Anderson, chairman of the
steel workers council at Gary put up
a staunch challenge to most of Van
Buren's conclusions, saying "that there
are only two hundred and fifty to
three .hundreds Reds at Gary and that
they i don't counts ' -r
U,r"Our "first "in terest'lrt Gary he -said.
"came when Chief of Police Forbis
came to Chicago from that city last
spring with a request for machine
guns and military intervention. He
told us the 'reds' there, were planning
to parade May 4 and start a revolu
tion. Two names were given us as
those of leaders of the anarchist club
at Gary, Ivanoff and de George. They
were Russians or Austrians. De
George was a chemist and we learned
later -that he was operating near the
Aetna explosive works outside of
Gary, where gun cotton was available
from the wastes outside of the mill."
Replying to Chairman Kenyon, Lieu
tenant Van Buren said a report Was
made to the department of Justice,
but so far as he knew there had been
no prosecution. He added that the
two men had left Gary. ,
We ifound in Gary after military
occupation there tremendous quanti
ties of 'red literature," he continued,
explaining that local police and asso
ciations of citizens had prepared the
way for raids on the storage places.
The. bible of the 'red. ' the anarch
ist anA Bolshevist," he .said, "is the
manifesto of the communist party of
Russia put out at what is known as
the 'third international which assem
bled at Moscow in March. Many thou
sand copies of this were in Gary.
Lieutenant Van Buren read extracts
from a booklet . seized at Gary. It
urged - revolution upon all workers in
all lands in the name of the "con
quering proletariat of Russia," and
said "open combat," was the only road
to the redress of alleged grievances.
All the radicals of, the country are
centering on the propaganda of Lenine
and Trotzky, the witness continued.
I call to your attention the fact that
it was printed in - J Chicago by the
Arbiter Zeitung Publishing Company,
which is significant."
'Are there any organizations in
Gary which adopt this program?"
asked Senator Phippe, republican of
Colorado.
"Yes, I have a list of them" said
the witness.
He commenced producing a series
of documents printed in Russian with
names of societies attached and a con
siderable quantity of I. W. W. litera
ture. ,
"How many foreigners are taking
part in this strike at Gary?" asked
Senator McKellar, democrat of Ten
nessee. "
- "1 haven't found an American yet,"
the witness .said, "though some of the
leaders have second naturalization
papers."
"Here are some of the productions
of the union of Russian worker,'
Lieutenant Van Buren continued.
"That's a straight " anarchist society.
Here's one of them, entitled 'the
crimes of God," an anti-religious
pamphlet discussing war."
A whole series of tracts and pamph
lets in Russian, put out by the union,
were read into the record.
"Did you get these in houses or
how?" Chairman Kenyon asked.
j "In houses and halls," Van' Buren
replied. "Some times men arrested

CONFERENCE TO
SETTLE UNREST
FINALLY ENDS
Group Representing Public Re
ports to President Wilson That
They Are Unable to Do Use
ful Work.
Washington, Oct. 24. The public
delegation to the national industrial
conference, the remaining group in
conference, adjourned sine die tonight,
bringing to an end that body, which
met October 6 in an effort to estab
lish better industrial relations.
Only one delegate in the group op
posed adjournment. . .. . ;
The: purpose- for ' wfileh -ihe confer
ence was called will be carried out by
a commission of Industrial experts.
The group framed a tentative re
port for submission to President Wil
son outlining the work of the confer-
ence up to the time the representatives
of organized labor withdraw.
The action of the committee was in
line with a suggestion of its chairman
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who thought
a commission should be created to
deal with industrial problems gen
erally. 4
Edward S. Hurley, former chairman
of the shipping board, who called at
the White House today to inquire as
to the president's health, approved the
stand taken by organized labor in
withdrawing from the conference.
"I do not see how Mr. Gompers
could have done anything different,"
Mr. Hurley said. . "He did the best
thing from his standpoint and prob
ably the best thing for the country.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., chairman
of the committee appointed to deter
mine the future course of the public
representatives said the conference
was bankrupt and urged the appoint
ment of a "commission on unrest," to
take up the work.
Mr. Rockefeller's position was that
the public delegates having partici
pated in the full conference would be
handicapped by unfavorable public
opinion and that an entirely new body
should be created. i
Officials of the American Federa
tion of Labor had been approached
as to their attitude toward the pro
posal that the public group go ahead
with the conference work and they
were understood to have promised co
operation. BOY OFFICER IS
