INDIANAPOLIS. March 1.-THE
mine operators have started their war
to get even" and dlscredit President
Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers
or America. The only thing that viii
prevent an enormous strike now will
be the attitude Of the mine workers
whether to defend their retiring presi-
dent or to go even farther and to hum
bly, bow to the operators.
Two factions in the organization are
still headed by friends Of Mitchell and
friends OF Vice President Lewis
Lewis becomes president on April /.
The latter wants to postpone all ac-
ton until next month, when Lewis. In
hurrah, could sign up the operators
and claim great credit. This Is what
the operators want. They are down
on Mitchell because he has repeatedly
whipped them into line. They know
that Mitchell and Lewis are not in
line. Operators say that to allow Lewis
to sign up the contracts they viii be
making him and at the same time give
John Mitchell slap in the face iust
las he is retiring. The Ohio miners ad-
mittedly do not want a strike. The
delegates from practically all other
fields, however, seem to be with
Mitchell
The scale committee to-day received
the answer of the Ohio operators. The
committee at once went into secret
discussion Of what kind OF a report
should be made tomorrow. A strike
of bituminous miners would, OF course.
te up many industries and give the
Ohio operators a chance to make thou
sands OF dollars by getting big prices
for 100000 tons OF coal they have
stored on the great lakes When this
has all been sold at big prices the Ohio
operators would then be willing TO
make n new scale and they would
have to make 1t with Vice. President
Lewis
The answer is that the Eastern
operators, who control the Pittsburg
vein mines along the Ohio river. will
not join in any interstate conferences
on March "a. The ostensible reason
for the refusal is that there is not
time for the conference.
No Big Strike In Years
There has been no big strike I'm the
bltuinAupuS region AuI years. mere
was an anthracite strike in 1908 II
was inaugurated by President Mitchell
the demands being an eight hour day,
higher wages and union mines. 1t
lasted from April until November,
when President Roosevelt appointed
his famous commission, and a settle
ment was effected TO last three years.
At the expiration Of the three years.
the contract was renewed and now ex-
pires next year. The settlement was
considered favorable TO the miners.
That strike lost millions OF dollars
to the miners, operators and public.
No accurate estimate of the actual loss
was ever made. Some OF the results Of
the strike were:
Anthracite coal increased in price
from $3.50 to SO per ton.
The mounted constabulary OF Penn
sylvania organized by the State in be-
half OF the operators TO keep down at
tempts Of the miners to organize nom
union men imported to work the
mines.
The United Mine Workers solidifed
into the strongest labor organization
