MINERS WILLING TO TRY
AND AVERT WALK0UT

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct 81. - While
preparations for the strike OF the half
million soft coal miners of the United
States, ordered for next Saturday, are
being continued 1t was said at the in
ternational headquarters of the United
Mine Workers OF America here today
that the miners are ready and willing
to negotiate a new wage agreement be-
tween now and Nov. / that win avert
the strike
We don't know what the week will
bring FORTH said Ellis Searlea editor
OF the Mine Workers Journal, the Off
cial publication OF the organization.
are ready and wlling-and have been
to negotiate new wage agreement be-
tween now and Nov |. And we do
know that the operators have refused.
They have rejected proposal after pro-
posal
Now, II the government would use
the same amount Of pressure on the
operators that II Is using on the United
Mine Workers OF America there would
be no trouble in bringing about a set
tlement All pressure, SO far, has been
on the miners and none on the opera
tors, The government could bring the
operators into conference easily. Ii II
wanted to.
THE organized miners do not want
to strike--tt is a last resort. II is, and
always has BEEN the policy Of the mine
workers to use all honorable means to
avoid a strike, We hope the operators
yet may be induced to meet the miners
and reach an agreement. which will
make the strike called for next Satur-
day unnecessary.
We want the public TO know that
the miners have done everything IN
their power to bring about a conference
so that a new wage agreement could
be negotiated aud the strike avoided,
Up p this time our efforts have been
unsuccessful. the operators seem de-
tsrmined to force a strike on the public
in order to maintatN the high price OF
coal at the mines
Should the strike 20 into effect next
Saturday, Mr. Searles said, every or
gauigei bituu nous 'nal miner in the
United States would cease the produe-
ton of coal and a large number Of
non organized miners would join the
strike. He estimated that between
500 O0N and 100000 laen would wafh out
and added that the government esti-
mated that the shutdown would cut off
so per cent of the hitmninous coal pro-
duoed in the United States.
The strike according to Mr., Searlea
would affect the partially organized
fields of Central Pennsylvania, parts
Of West Virginia, excluding the Poca
| hontas field which Is not organized; !;
| portions of Eastern Kentucky aud Ten-
nessee. Alabama and Colorado and an
| OF tie 1AG per cont organized fields,
which incl'fde Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,

Was Stationary, Not
Political Engineer;
Off Goes His Head!

In We olden days the rule was TO pull
off the general police shakeups after
the election, but the Williams people
are beginning TO pull them off before
the election.
Saturday 1t became known 10 the
police that Phil Walden. engineer at the
police station, was working for the Cid-
zens' ticket In the Twenty seventh
ward where he lives Monday Phil was
without job
Friday. before Phil was let out, Squire
Frank Davis, representing the police
department and the williams ticket
called to see J. b. Barry, engineer at
the courthouse to get him to recon-
mend an engineer TO take Waldens
place. Barry was not in When Barry
returned Squire Davis called him over
the phone and asked for the recon-
mendation.
Asked what the qualifications were,
Davis said the qualifications were the
sanfe as any other stationary engineers
job. Mr.. Barry then asked If the en-
gineer in question would have to be for
the williams ticket, and he was in
formed that that would be expected of
him.
s'Well, ! can recommend stationary
engineer, but not a political engineer"
Barry said he told Squire Davis.
So the station house Is at present
without an engineer.
