LIKELY TO UNITE
Gigantic Labor Union Organization Is
Projected as Only Solution to
Problem of Obtaining Rights

Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2O.-A merger
of resources and interests Of the West
ern Federation of Miners and of the
United Mine workers of America to
embrace all organized mine workers of
the United States and Canada is in
prospect in the convention of the United
Mine Workers, now in session here.
President Lewis tomorrow will ap-
point a committee of seven, including
himself, to confer with a similar com
mittee sent by the Western Federation
Of Miners.
The purpose Of the coalition was pre-
sented to the convention by Charles H.
Meyer, president, and C. e. Mahoney,
vice president of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, and by 7. l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers.
MOyer urged, unless iron and coal
miners Of both north and south COM
bine. It will be impossible to carry
through the projected attack on the
United States Steel Corporation.
Copper Miners UnaIded
He also pleaded that in the copper
| trust campaign against the copper
miners the copper miners were stand
| ing alone.
! Committees of the two organizations
| will draw up a plan of alliance which
will be either an amalgamation or a
working agreement, and it will be Of
fered to this convention for ratification.
! Charles H. Meyer, president, and C.
T. Mahoney, vice president, of the
| Western Federation, chiefly of metal
miners, headed a delegation from their
organization and made speeches urg-
| ing an offensive and defensive league
of all miners as the only solution OF
their problem"
Meyer declared the interests of the
metal miners and coal miners were
Identical and that if it were not pos
sible to emalgamate they should en-
gage in close working agreement.
He asked the convention to take a
stand against William Randolph
Hearst, "the great friend of organized
labor" who is charged with having
been influential in locking out" or
ganized miners in the northwest.

STOCK EXCHANGE
FIRM INSOLVENT
THIRD FAILURE is RESULT OF
HOOKING POOL
THREE MILLIONS INVOLVED IN
LATEST CRASH
Roberts, Hall g. CrIss of New York

of the Combine
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.--Roberts, Hall
& Criss of New York and Cincinnati
were forced to suspend as members of
the New York stock exchange today
following the two failures yesterday
brought about by the collapse of the
Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron
pool.
Hugh F. Criss was the board men,
ber of the firm and had charge of the
Hooking pool on the exchange.
He estimates the liabilities Of the firm
at $9OOO,OOO, but is quoted as saying
that he hoped to pay 100 cents on the
dollar unles governors of the exchange
permit welChing on the part of the
other members with whom L had con-
tracts"
The feeling among members of the
exchange is that Criss has been made
to take more than his share of the
blame and that all the participants
ought to be punished for their part in
the episode.
investigation On
Affairs of all three firms involved
j. M. Fiske & Co, and Lathrop, Has
Kins & Co., which suspended yester-
day, as well as Roberts, Hall & Criss
are now being investigated by the
committee on insolvencies of the ex-
change.
But it is not unlikely that the situ-
alton may get beyond the jurisdiction
of this committee, necessitating the ap-
pointment of a special committee with
plenary power, such as was done in the
Rock Island case.
In announcing the failure OF Roberts,
Hall & Criss, the president OF the eX-
change said there were peculiar cir
cumstances calll-g for rigid investi-
cation.
These circumstances, as Crisis de-
clarations indicate, imply bad faith
on the part of the old members of the
so-called pool.

company from the list of the stock
