Special Despatch 10 THr sus.

PITTsBURG, Nov. Elm sympathy
with the steel and soft coal miners
strikes the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor, at special conven-
tion to-day adopted resolution di-
recting the executive council of the
federation to call a statewide strike.
If the organized workmen OF the State
comply with the terms of the resolu-
ton Pennsylvania industries will be
tied up tight.
Only two of the SOC votes cast were
recorded against the resolution, and
one Of these was that OF Francis Fee
han, supervising inspector of the State
Department OF Labor and Industry.
James H. Maurer, president OF the
State Federation, with difficulty sub
dued the uproar which Feehan's action
caused.
During the discussion of the reso-
luton several delegates questioned the
right of the federation to call or order
a oSoht"idN bli bul IC5luChl
rer answered: when we decide to
have a fight, whether the American
Federation of Labor or the different
international unions concur, we are
going to fight" He said that he did
not anticipate opposition to the plan
from the international unions, but ex-
pected their hearty support.
Inquiry among labor leaders tonight
Indicated the federation had no power
to call general strike OF unions affili-
ated with II, and any decision the feder-
alton made in that direction was only
advisory to the international unions for
the different crafts, Each affiliated trade
union enjoys strict autonomy and the
different unions jealously guard this
condition. 1t means that in the calling
of strikes each international union ex-
ercises supreme power for its own mem
bership.
In some cases International unions
prohibit sympathetic strikes, as IN the
case Of the international Typographical
Union. Among some of the unions a
referendum vote OF the membership Is
required before a strike can be called
So far as most labor organizations are
concerned no local union of craft or
group OF unions of that craft can call a
strike without the expressed sanction Of
the officers OF the international union
who control the funds through which
strike benefits are paid.
Demands In Resolution.
Unless all the international unions
with members employed In Pennsylvania
jointly should agree to delegate power
to call strikes the Pennsylvania Fedora
ton OF Labor will be powerless to push

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Nov. 2.-"Ninety
thousand men are out. That is every
miner in the State. II you'll show
men how the operators can mine coal
with this injunction I'll tell you how
the strike will be broken here"
John Walker, formerly president Of
the Illinois miners, thus described the
strikers Hindenburg line. Illinois, here
tonight Not only is 1t the Hinden-
burg line, but 1t is the great head
quarters OF the strikers here to-day.
John L. Lewis, acting president OF
the United Mine Workers, and Frank
harrington, president of the Illinois
district, are here. harrington was
Lewis's nearest rival for the honors of
the miners presidency. 1t was Far
rington's advanced campaign of radi-
calism among the Illinois miners that
had the mines of this State in turmoil
throughout the summer. This was
the state Of affairs which forced Presi-
dent Lewiss hand and made him stick
without hint of compromise for the
thirty hour week.
Miners Leaders I'm background.
Lewis and harrington are not appear
ing in public. "Out for a ride" was the
way a woman's voice described the
whereabouts of Mr.. Lewis this after
noon. harrington cannot be found.
But the campaign of the strikers
thereby is not becoming lax. Illinois is
as yet without the jurisdiction of Judge
Andersons injunction in the Federal
court in Indianapolis because his re-
straining orders have not yet been is
sued against or served upon the mine
officers here. But in view of Attorney
General PRlmer's instructions to district
attorneys and agents of the Department
OF Justice to report all gatherings OF two
or more persons whose object Is to ef-
feet reduction in the production of
coal the leaders are taking no chances
and are not even admitting that they
have met each other casually.
Walkers statement OF to-day, how
ever. is ample evidence of the leaders
contention tnat the strike Will go on au-
tomatically without their direction. There
can be little doubt OF this so far as Illi-
nois is concerned
Tomorrow. unhindered by any Fed
eral injunction. the Association OF Min
ers Cooperative Stores will hold a con-
vention in East St. Louis. II will be ad-
dressed by the most vigorous of the
strike leaders, Walker among them.
Thus the miners contend that they can
continue to beat the Government to the
punch in the conduct OF the strike.
Walker scorns the Injunction, which
does not as yet affect him.
I'm tell anybody what 1 think of it."
he remarked here to-day.
Also the great treasury of the Illinois
miners, S2,000,000 or more, remains at
their disposal. 1t has not yet been af-
fected by Government restraining or
ders.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-11-03

''The miners" said Walker to-day.
''were the last class of labor to have
their wages raised to meet the Increased
cost OF living. Then in the war emer-
gency there was a three sided agree
ment among the miners, the operators
and the Government to get out the coal
for war uses The miners believed that
this agreement expired with the war
emergency.
And they are right. Look at It. The
Government let II expire so far as II af-
fected the restraints against operators
raising prices. 1t disbanded the Fuel
Administration and let the operators dis
tribute the coal and sell II at what
prices they could get. Now II contends
that the miners wages, determined in
connection with these prices, must re-
main the same"
Neither United States District Attor-
ney Knots nor agents OF the Depart
ment OF Justice would say here to-day
that they knew of any immediate in
tention of the Government to ask for
injunctions in the three Illinois Federal
districts like that of Judge Anderson in
Indiana. No steps are contemplated
here for tomorrow. Therefore It Is pre-
sumed that the Government will walt
for the affirmation of its restraining
order before Judge Anderson in Indian
apolis next Saturday before II will move
for its extension into the other strike
fields
This probably will leave at the dis
posal of the miners for the first week of
the strike at least the $4,000. 900 fund
of the Illinois district. While the union
does not pay strike benefits on the
Inauguration Of the strike. II nevertheless
Is admitted that the failure OF the Gov
ernment to tie up the fund will afford the
strikers such facilities of disposlng of II
as to make II available, injunction or no
injunction. when the need arises.
Can't See Quick Ending of Strike.
Neither operators nor miners here can
see an early end OF the strike. Both in
sist that the completely organized Illinois
men will not filter back to work, no
matter how complete the protection
afforded them. The laws of this State,

Report Britain May
Confer With Soviets

T ,ONDON, Nov. 2.-The Daily
Herald. the labor organ, as
serts it hears on good authority
that the British Government is
considering favorably a proposal
for a conference of Soviet Russia
with the Entente Allies. The
conference would take place in a
neutral country and would be on
the lines proposed for the aban-
doned conference at Prinkipo ISL
and, the newspaper adds.
The original proposal to invite
the Russians to a conference en-
anated from President Wilson and
was approved by the Supreme
Council in Paris January % last.
It never came to anything. The
statement issued by the council
at the time outlining the attitude
of the Allies toward Russia said
the Allies recognized the absolute
right of the Russians to direct
their own affairs, that they rec
ognized the revolution without
reservation and would in no way
aid or give countenance to any
attempt at a counter revolution;
that it was not their wish to IA
vor or assist any one of the or
ganized groups contending for
the leadership and guidance of
Russia and that their sole and
sincere purpose is to do what they
can to bring Russia peace and an
opportunity to find her way out
of her present troubles"
