Philadelphia, March 16.-"Crush the
union,' is the edice that has gone out
from the anthracite coal operators,
following the declaration by President
Thomas L. Lewis. of the United Nine
Workers OF America, that he will not
affix his name to an agreement unless
It Is signed by him as president of
the national organization.
AS a result, the operators are max
Ing preparations to send into the an
thracite region as soon as strike Is
declared not less than 500 Pinkerton
detectives, especially recruited for the
service expected from them during
such times.
OF this number the Philadelphia e.
Reading Coal & Iron company Will
hire 200 men, who will be scattered
throughout the districts in which that
company's colileries are located.
Won't Recognize Union.
The operators have decided unani-
mously not to recognize the union and
they will make no concessions, their
only offer being to sign for another
term of three years the present wage
agreement. They will consider no 9TH
err terms and viii make no other offer
to the miners.
.The miners have s5,000000 In their
treasury" declared President Lewis, at
his home In Bridgeport, o., when dis
GUESSING the likelihood Of q strike.
every cent of this fund will be avail
able IL the miners feel that the life
of the union organization is In danger.
More than that funds will flow into
the treasury from many coalproducing
sections.
II do not want a strike; neither do
the 165 900 men in the anthracite re-
gion want strike, but we do want
recognition OF the union. There must
be recognition No man can forecast
what will be the action of the anthra-
cite miners at their convention In
Scranton on March %. but, speaking
as an individual and only as an indi-
vidual. we want only an agreement
embodying recognition of the union.
The operators themselves know this,
and hope that we shall make an
agreement without strike or lockout"
Operators Are Prepared.
From an official source it was learn
ed that the oprators feel that they are
better prepared now to crush the I'M
ion than ever before. If "a strike Is
declared they are confident that a
settlement will be made only upon the
basis of less wages, and If strike is
not declared the union will disinte-
CRATE because of lack Of interest
among the miners.
