NO STRIKE ON APRIL /.
Positive Statement BY Official Of Nine
workers.

indianapolis, (Special) - in a state
ment issued Vice President T. l.. Lewis,
OF the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, declared that there will be no strike
OF the mineworkcrs on April !, saying
the operators will restore the reduction
accepted by the miners two years ago
and, perhaps, more. The statement iol-
lows:
You may accept one proposition as a
fixed fact--that there will be no general
strike IN the mining industry April /
The operators will restore the reduction
accepted by the miners two years age
and. perhaps, moro.
Mr. II. l.. Robbins. OF Pennsylvania
and Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, leaders OF
ihc operators, recognize their untenabe
position at indianapolis, and have grace
fully submitted to the inevitable. and
will pay an advance to the miners A
general strike will be averted. Business
will not be paralyzed by industrial strife.
An era OF peace will be established for
another period of years, and the trade
agreement method OF settling labor dis
putes will win new friends TO its stand
ard
"The anthracite operators must now
grant an advance in view of the action
OF the bituminous operators.
THE details will be worked out late
and probably through special national
convention OF the mineworkers.
For two years il has been my deter
mined purpose to have all wage agree
ments of the miners terminate on the
same date so that unity OF action might
be secured without violating existing
agreements on April l. 1905. The first
move in this direction was made in
Pittsburg, Pa, in the summer OF 1904,
when the expiration date of the contract
was extended from the end of August
10 the end of March. this year Prac-
tically all OF our agreements expire
March 81 next BY virtue OF this ar
rangemcnt the mneworkers of the coun-
try are now in position to compel the
operators TO deal with us Justly.
AT the recent Joint convention in In.
dianapolis. ! advocated an advance foi
the miners because believe they are en-
titled to it.
polls convention showed the strongest
evidence of the weakness of their posi-
ton when they ignored orr arguments
that they could pay an advance to the
mineworlters at the present selling price
OF coal and still make large profit
Developments will prove additional facts,
namely:
"First--That some OF the large corpor-
ations represented at the recent Indiana
polls joint convention were not in po-
sition TO make successful resistance
of the miners demands.
"Second-That the great coal consum-
ing public will not materially suffer by
reason OF the advance which will be
granted to the miners.

Officials OF the Maryland Steel Com
pany have never felt the slightest con-
Germ regarding the Dewey. They said
that although reports Stated that the
weather was good and that the dock was
averaging 100 miles day, actual fgur-
ing showed that since the great dock
left the Chesapeake Bay it has only
averaged II miles day, and at this rate
it would not be due at Gibraltar until
March 4 or 5. Among the Baltimoreans
with the convoy is Walter T. Mullen,
son of Capt G, NJ. Mullen, 1928 North
Caroline Street, who is in charge Of the
wireless telegraph outfit on the docks
The drydock lef; American waters on
December 20, and il was calculated that
she would make 100 miles a day. The
usually travelled route 10 Gibraltar is
1900 miles, but in order TO escape pos
sible bad weather a sweep was taken to
the southwark, making the distance about
1900 miles. She is, therefore, about nine
days overdue. Officials figure that head
winds have been encountered which
have caused delay
