Of RAT|F|CAT NUMP|RE GARFIELD.

Washington. Nov. l9.--Scale commit
tees OF bituminous miners and operator,

INTO executive session today 10 negotiate
wage contract, after Federal Fuel Ad
ministrator Garfield had urged upon
them the necessity for adjusting their
differences and producing the coal the
country needs. Immediately after con
venlng. the operators and miners decid
ed to continue their negotiations through
subcommittee of eight from each
side.
Washington, Nov. 19.-- Speaking with
the authority Of President Wilson'S cab
| met, Fuel Administrator Garfield told
| representatives. of the btuminous Goa
! operators and miners here today that
the people Of the United States need,
must have and viii have coal" and as
long as the government stands they will
not be prevented from getting il by
anything the operators or miners may
do"
DIR. Garfield explained that his pur.
pose was to furnish the conference with
data which he would use in determining
what wage advances. if any, agreed to
by the operatosr and miners could be
borne properly by the public.
81 represent the people Of the United
States in different sense from the
secretary of labor" DR.. Garfield said.
1T is part Of Mr.. Wilson's function to
effect conciliations.\ 1t is my sole func.
ton TO exercise those powers conferred
on the fuel administrations; to see that
an adequate supply of coal is furnished
the people of the United States. and
TO see that in times Of stress such as
we are still unhappily in the midst Of
the prices asked and received for coal
are not excessive.
We all realize now that in the great
coal industry the public is an important
partner. At one time the operators and
mine workers, like farmers, considered
themselves peculiarly independent. But
the public has a paramount interest.
The people Of the United States will
not consent TO pay an excessive price
for coal. We are all agreed to that. but
the question now is. What is an exces.
sive price, Nor will the public agree to
go without this commodity.
The people of the I'nltea States q ed
must have and will have coal! They
Will not be prevented by anything the
operators and miners may do unless the
government is dissolved into chaotic
condition.
THE people of the United States are
willing to pay sufficient to maintain
American standards, but the question is,
What are American standards?' The
people want the operators to have
just return, but what is a just return?"
DR.. Garfield said he was not yet pre-.
pared to say what conditions could
reasonably be made in the price OF coal.
as all the necessary information was not
at hand. One of the items not yet de.
termined, he said, was that of the fed.
eral income taxes for t9lS, which the
operators claimed should be included in
the cost of operation. The government
has disputed this.

WOODROW WILSON" >"

WOODkOW WILSON,
The PRESIDENTS reference to an oppor
tunity to vote on genuine ratihca-
tion resolution" referred to tho plans
Of the democrats TO get action on an
>pnreserved resolution after they had
(,oted down the Lodge proposal That
plan apparently has been blocked, how.
ever, by the decision of the mild reser.
vation republicans to stand with Re.
publican Leader Lodge against provid.
ing such an opportunity.
The democratic leaders. however, say
they have been promised a chance to
vote on an unreservcd resolution before
the committee resolution comes to n
roll call, and should the latter fail they
expect the mild group to bring the
committee draft back before the SEN
ate on q motion to reconsider. In the
latter eventuality, their plan is to
present amendments which will make
the reservation acceptable.
1t is known to be the purpose Of SEN
ator Lodge, on the other hand, to force
the administration leaders to make their
compromise proposals before the com
mttee resolution is voted on. Today's
conference took up that situation, with
the leaders hopeful that they might
obtain such modification Of the resolu.
tlon as would enable them to vote for IT,
No compromise plan was drafted by
the democrats. but it was suggested that
after the prospective defeat of The Lodge
reservation a committee of democrats
would b. appointed to confer with the
republicans to that end.
The decision of democratic friends of
the treaty 10 vote against a ratification
resolution containing the Lodge reser
tons was affirmed at the conference Of
democrats. Senator Hitchcock said
enough dcm8crats to insure its defeat
had agreed to vote against the Lodge
resolution.
Democrats who attend the conference
were not bound by any conference

to accept many of the ma jority's reser.

John Jones, the new Labor member
from Silvertown, is the Jerry Simpson
and the Kier Hardie Of the house of

The proof of this is that his speeches
are punctuated with shocked cries of
"Order!" from the old-timers, and the
reason for the cries Is that he talks to
the house of commons just as he used
to talk when he was addressing out-of-
door audiences from a s%oapbOx at
Tower hill, which is the forum for in
formal workmen's debates.
