first time in the history Of the indus
try OF q nationwide attempt to fix
wages for all the bituminous mining
country. Secretary Wilson had all this
IN mind, however. when he invited the
men most vitally concerned in the set
Element to meet him in Washington.
Fresh Start To Be Made
The meetings will not be public, but
Mr.. Wilson will sit down with the two
groups, as he did before, and urge
them to settle their differences and
quickly agree upon new agreement.
All of the former demands. including
the tive-day week. the six-hour day and
a 60 per cent wage increase will be
wiped from the slate, and new start
made.
Meanwhile. with the strike officially
! declared off, the important task. as
ceth sides see it, Is to get coal pro-
duction back to normal. If any con-
siderable number of miners are hold
ing out when the scale committees
assemble. it is probable their first step
will be issuance of an appeal for i'm
mediate and whole hearted work in all
the soft coal fields Of the country.
In the Senate to-day Senator Jones,
Republican, of Washington, introduced
a resolution calling for an investiga-
tion OF the coal strike by the commit
tee on education and labor. with a
view to ascertaining the number of
foreign- born workers in the coal mines
and the wages they are paid. Senator
Jones said he will urge the adoption
OF his resolution, as ne believes the
inquiry would develop facts showi ,e
the necessity for Americanization leg
islation.

government would be forced to receGe

this way it was argued, Il great victory
would be won for all organized labor
Speakers on the other side asserted
time and again the question before
the meeting was no longer merely a
dispute between employers and en-
ployes, but ore between the miners
and government, and there was only
one choice unless virtual revolution
was contemplated. "To disobey is 70
revolt" said one speaker Others de-
clared the revocation of the order
would tend only to disrupt the organi-
zation without ending the strike. as il
was their opinion the men were so set
on more pay and better conditions, and
were suffering so under the burdens
of the cost of living that they would
ignore an order that deprived them of
their means of obtaining their wants.
All the speakers were agreed that this
was not an officers but mems strike,

Justice Hendricks Life
Threatened by Crank

1t became known yesterday that a
Justice Peter A. Hendrlck, of the
Supreme Court. This threat has no
connection with the activities of Com
munists or ]. ". w, but is an out
the "lifc prisoner" of Ludlow Street
Jail
Apparently the story about the
troubles of Godhaber, imprisoned be-
cause he could not file $500 bond
guaranteeing the payment of alimony
with the prospect that he would stay in
jail for the rest Of his life, has spread
all over the country. 1t was reprinted
IN the West and from there came the
threat to Justice Hendrick b man
who read the story. This writer said
he was a frequent visitor in New York,
and on his next trip here. unless Gold
haber was free, he would shoot the
justice.
Justice Hendrick was not so much
concerned about the threat yesterday as
he was about the inaccurate reports
of his part in the case. He heard
argument on writ of habeas corpus
and decided that ii Goldhaber's at
torney pursued another course he might
obtain the prisoners release. As pub
llshed the courts decision, made it ap
pear that Justice Hendrck had decided
that there was no hope for Goldhaber.
and that he would have to stay in Jail.
which Justice Hendrick did not.
Samuel f. Miller, attorney for Cold
haber, has taken the advice given him
by Justice Hendrick, and is now moving
TO have his client released because Mrs
Hoidhaber, who put her husband in
Jail, has failed TO take steps to nrose'
cute her suit for separation.

"Notwith standing a contract binding

The Socialist papers also have decid-

Printers Demand 81 Wage Raise
Agitation among the I newspaper
workers began with the strike in Oc-
tober of the newspaper distribution
employees. Tho printers offered to sup
port these men with sympathetic

mand extra pay of 81 daily in view Of
the high cost of living.
Directors of the newspapers subse-
quently met employees representatives
and pointed out to them the difficulty
of granting the increase. The posi-
bility Of increasing the newspapers
from 2 to cents was discussed. AS
nothing was done in the matter. the

This feeling on the part Of majority
of the coal diggers is so evident in
the different coal fields that leaders of
the miners organization openly stated
they fear trouble will follow the strike
recall.
Tr'in thc central Pennsylvania fields
comes word tonight that open rebellion
against returning to work is manifest
ing itself in the different fields that a re

Coal operators declare that after few
days reason will assert itself and the
miners will return to the pits.
Allegheny Miners in Ugly Mood
In the Allegheny valley of the West

unionists are out, the miners are in an
ugly mood tonight. Hundreds of them

tion of this district stated they would
not return to work until their demands
were granted, regardless of any action
the government might take.
Word from Clearfield, headquarters
of district No. 2, in the Ger tral Penn
sylvania field, was that the striking
miners were in a defiant mood and that
but few Of the $4,000 men out would
return to work tomorrow. The infor-
nation from all sections of that field
was that the men would "stand pat"
on the strike regardless Of tho order
