Coal Strike is Ended
Plan Suggested by President Wilson is Adopted
By United Mine Workers
Decision Reached indianapolis Meeting Wednesday Afternoon and
Strike of OOOOO Workers is Adjusted

President John l.. Lewis and Secre-
tary-Treasurer William Green of the
miners on behalf of the proposal, to
which they agreed in conference with
Attorney General Palmer in Wash
ington.
The original demand of the miners,
at the Cleveland convention, was a
SO per cent increase. After they
were injunctioned by Federal Judge
Anderson, they and the coal owners
convened in Washington on the invi-
tation of Secretary of Labor Wilson,
who declared in favor of a 31.6 pei
cent increase. This was discussed by
the miners who believed that Sccre-
tary Wilson was speaking for the
government.
Then Fuel Administrator Garfield
stepped in, and without consulting
the miners announced a IA per cent
increase and stated that the war de-
partment and the department of JUS
tice would enforce this decision. The
coal owners accepted the award-not
too sudden, however, but after a milo
protest had been staged.
There will be no relaxation of re-
strictions on the use of coal for the
present as the result of the ending OF
the coal strike, Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced.

Indianapolis-The great coal strike
in which 100000 bituminous coal
miners were involved, was settled
Wednesday afternoon when the gen
eral committee of the United Mine
Workers of America voted to accept
the plan proposed by President
Wilson.
The plan provides that the miners
shall return to work at once at an in
crease of ID, per cent in wages; that
a commission of three persons be ap-
pointed to investigate and determine
within sixty days if possible, basis
for new wage agreement. The con-
ference was made up of international
and district officials and members OF
the executive board and scale COM
mittee of the organization.
Before final decision was reached
all phases of the situation were
thoroughly discussed. Considerable
argument was occasioned by the re-
quest of Illinois miners that the
Cleveland convention be reconvened
to act on the proposal of President
Wilson but the matter was finally
brought to a vote which accepted the
proposition.
Comment was heard on all sides OF
the valiant fight waged by Acting

BeWiIdered Public
Is Being "EduCated''

Washington - The public's educa-
tion on coal profits continues its merry
way with officials who have access
to the income tax returns recording
sharp differences, and coal owners
pleading they are headed for the poor
house
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo is the first educator. He
AYERS that when he held office, in
1917, the coal owners profits w"Ie
Shocking and indefensible," and
ranged as high as 1000 per cent.
He asks that the coal owners income
tax returns be published. Naturally,
the coal owners make a general de-
nial of these profits, and say they
will go as far in the publication Of
their incomes as any other industry.
Mr.. McAdoo replies: "The publication
of returns for any other industry has
nothing to do with the case"
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
then joins the educators and takes
some of the sting out Of the McAdOo
claim He has access to the same
figures as Mr. McAdoo, whose esti-
mate of 1000 per cent is shaved down
to 800 per cent. The present secretary
Of the treasury says soft coal owners
east Of the Mississippi river, made in
1917, "what might be termed fabulous
profits, the general average being
from 100 to $50 per cent on invested
capital, the range being from Is TO
800 per cent"
The coal owners softly admit that
1917 profits were high, but insist
that they do not come within a mil
lion miles-more or less-of the Nc
Adoo-Glass estimates. Since 1917,
they say, many coal owners have lost
money, while the profits Of others
have been reduced to pittance.
The public stands bewildered before
these charges and counter charges

Nations Prosperity
On Expanded Credit

New Worthwhile surface thinkers
and publicity seekers are screaming
that trade unionism is responsible
for persent living costs, sober-mined
men are pleading against the nations
policy of inflated currency or ex-
panded credit, upon which the present
boom rests.
Writing in the Annalist, financial
paper, published in this city, Myron
w. Watkins, of the University of
Missouri, calls attention to the policy
of banks in extending credit, not for
Legitimate business operations" but
for purposes that amount to ordinary
gambling.
with an abandon comparable only
to the clan or corps of Alpine clias-
seurs," writes Mr.. Watkins, 1--WE have
seen buyers bidding against buyers,
with frenzy like that of men whose
lives are at stake, yet motivated by
no other purpose than to buy today,
withhold goods from the market and
sell tomorrow at an advance in price.
The temper of the market has been
that of the gambler, not that of the
so-called economic man. providing
himself against his legitimate and
prospective wants. When such dis
position rules upon a market prudence
is fatal. Round and round, ever
mounting in a great spiral go the
market prices.
"This speculative mania which has
obsessed us is at the root of the
whole precarious structure of inflated
prices. When the gambling disposi-
ton ceases to dictate market con-
duct, when reflective judgment inter-
venes between some venturesome
SPECTATORS last landing and his next
leap, we shall see what a fiimsy fig
ment has been the postwar pros
perity of recent months

TROOPS ROUND UP MINERS

Cheyenne, Wyo. - Detachments of
United States cavalry at Monarch
and Cameyville dispelled any illusion
that miners may have that they will
be permitted to continue their in
dividual strike. In the Monarch
camp all miners were rushed to the
union hall at the point of the bayonet,
and voted to return to work. In
Carneyville similar methods were ap-
piled, and these proved so successful
that the mines have reopened, t is
reported. A large number of miners
who are declared to be radicals.

will be proceeded against on the
charge of violating Judge Anderson's

The Message
FORCE CAN'T SETTLE INDUS
TRIAL UNREST
No Lasting and Permanent Settlement
Unless Fundamental Concepts
For Which Labor Has Strug.
gled be Granted

Washington - The greater portion
of President Wilson's message to the
first regular session of the sixty-sixth
congress, which convened December
/, was devoted to the labor question.
Because of illness the president did
not read his message to the law
makers, as is his custom.
Summed up, the message declared
that it was idle to talk of suppress
ing industrial unrest and that it was
necessary to remove the causes for
this unwholesome condition.
Speaking broadly, the president
said that unrest arose from the fail
ure Of the government to arrive
speedily at a just and permanent
peace which would permit of a return
to normal conditions, from the trans
fusion Of radical theories from seeth-
ing European countries pending such
delay, from heartless proftee ing
that has increased living costs, and
from "the Vaccinations of passion
ate and malevolent agitators."
ut seems to me-" said the presi-
dent, chat in dealing with the situa-
ton congress should not be impatient
or drastic, but should seek rather to
remove the causes" and "that there
can be no permanent and lasting
settlements between capital and lahor
which DO not recognize the funda-
mental concepts for which labor has
been struggling through the years.
Governments must recognize the
/ right of men collectively to bar <ain
for human objects that have at their
base the mutual protection and well
fare of those engaged in all indus
tries. Labor must not longer be
treated as a commodity. 1t must be
regarded as the activity of human
beings, possessed of deep yearnings
and desires.
Return to the old standards of
wage and industry in employment are
unthinkable. The terrible tragedy of
war which has just ended and which
has brought the world to the verge
of chaos and disaster would be in
vain if there should ensue a return
to the conditions of the past.
Europe itself, whence has come
the unrest which now holds the world
at bay, is an example of standpatisnl
in these vital human matters which
America might we'll accept as an
example, not to be followed but to be
studiously avoided"
The president made a short, indi-
rect reference to the miners strike
in connection with his statement that
the right to strike "is inviolate and
ought not to be interfered with by
any process of government. An ex-
ception was made where the govern
ment found it necessary "to protect
its power and majesty against the
challenge of any class"

Adopt Precinct Plan

Los Angeles, Cal.-The central Ia
Dor union has perfected a precinct
organization that every wage worker
in this city may be enlisted in the
trade union movement. Nearly 1O,-
900 names of trade unionists living
in the city's 744 precincts have been
filed, and when all have been recorded
precinct captains will arrange for
agitation and organization meetings.

CODDLING PROFITEERS WILL
NOT BRING PEACE
Must Check Powers Now Granted TO
Corporations and Individuals and
Guarantee Collective Bar
gaining to Workers

Washington - Domestic peace and
social order will not result through
a policy of deporting "reds" and
coddling profteers, declared A. r. OF
L. Vice President Woll in letter to
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, in reply
to a query by the latter regarding
labor's views on social and industrial
questions.
The trade unionist's answer includes
several thousand words, and its tone
is indicated by the following:
at is a sad commentary upon the
history and development of our land
that the state and nation, instead OF
maintaining a just, fair and natural
equilibrium of personal rights, PRIV
Ieges and relations, not only under
took to place arbitrary corporate
powers and advantages in the hands
of a few, but at the same time under
took by affirmative action to destroy
or render ineffective the hope and as
piration of the great mass Of our
people-the workers-to protect them
selves against the exercise of these
great corporate powers delegated ex-
clusively into the hands of few to
dominate the lives and destiny of the
many without restraint or limita-
ton"
The trade unionist opposes the Civ
ing charter rights to corporations
that deny their workers the right to
bargain collectively.
"Unless such check is placed on
the corporate powers, now granted to
the state by individuals, the domestic
conflict which is now raging in the
midst of us cannot and will not be
permanently ended.
at should also be remembered that
from the inception of modern civilza-
tior the privileged few, either by an
alleged divine right, hereditary as
sumption or by legislation, have put
property rights, most of which were
stolen rights, above human rights.
We have now reached a period of
civilization when men should be placed
before and above the dollar. Activi-
ties and results with this end in view
should not and cannot longer be
ignored with safety to the nation and
our people.
"If we are to remove the existing
unrest, it is essential that criminal
profiteering shall be put to an end.
The cost of necessities has gone up
with leaps and bounds, and this in
crease has not been due to a proper
tionate increase of labor cost. On
the contrary, the workers have been
unable to keep pace with the ever
increasing cost of the necessities of
life, and as long as this condition
exists serious discomfort and unrest
will prevail.
"To deport the reds and at the
same time coddle the profiteers will
not bring us to a state of domestic
tranquility"
