TALK TO MINERS

senate to ratify the peace treaty
within reasonable length of time
and thus officially terminate the
Washington wage agreement IN the
bituminous field" Lewis said. We
are today face to face with the situa-
ton wherein we cannot justify fur
Their delay as concerns our own af-
fairs. I accordingly recommend that
this convention take action declaring
the Washington wage agreement Of
ficially terminated at a date not
later than November l.
'In the event that basic agree
ment in the central competitive field
is not negotiated by the date fixed
for the expira ton of the present con-
tract, / recommend that there be no
sectional settlements by districts,
but that there be complete cessa-
ton of mine operations throughout
our entire jurisdiction.
81 recommend that the automatic
penalty clause incorporated as war
time provision in the Washington
wage agreement be eliminated in our
next contract"
Wage demands Of the anthracite
miners recently formulated in Wilkes
barre, Pa, to be effective at the ex-
piration of the present wage agree
ment in March, 1920. will be en-
dorsed by the convention, Lewis in
timated.
Lewis told Of the deep concern and
grave apprehension to the workers
caused by the high cost of living and
said "the belated attempts OF the FED
eral government 10 reduce the cost of
living is not expected to affect any
sweeping reduction in the price of ne
cessities. At best it scarcely can be
hoped that the governmental aSences
can be able to do more than prevent
further soaring of COSTS"
The speaker said the situation con-
fronting "our people is most serious"
and steps must be taken to enable
the mine workers and their depend
ents to meet 1t.
Lewis presented report of the pol
icy committee of the organization
which on March 20. 1919 declared in
favor of a six hour day, five days a
week, a substantial increase in wages
and the naturalization and democratic
management of all coal mines in the
United States He denounced the eff
forts Of William G. McAdoo and John
SHELTON Williams to secure coal at
lower rate for the railroads than the
prevailing price fixed by the govern
ment during McAdoo's tenure as di-
rector general of railroads.
Walker D. Hines, present director
general, also attempted similar
price reduction, and it required hard
fight by the mine workers to bring
him in line, Lewis said, The speaker
said he could see no reason why the
railroads OF the country, consuming
one third of the bituminous coal pro-
duction, should be priviledged to Sc
cure coal under the price charged the
consuming public. Permitting the
railroads to purchase coal below the
prevailing price meant transferring
the difference TO the burdens of the
consumers.
Lewis took slap at the zone big
union" the I. w. w. and the Proyin-
cial Workers Association and the
Working Glass union of the southwest
iby declaring them founded on the
day dreams of Missionaries" and lack
