( Miners, operators and Government
officials alike were highly gratified
over the settlement and all sides alp
peared confident of final satisfactory
settlement of the fight by the commits
sion.
The action ends tie-up of the
coal industry of more than five weeks
duration and one which was more far
reaching in its effects than any other
In the history of the country. AS a
result of the strike, the country was
fast approaching complete shutdown
Of industry and widespread suffering
among its 10O,00O,00O0 inhabitants.
The decision of the miners came aft
er many hours of debate, in which the
radical element in the general COM
mittee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others interest
ed in settlement of the strike and for
a time threatened to defeat efforts to
settle the strike at this time. The
conservative element, led by Acting
President John L. Lewis and Secre-
Treasurer William Green, gained
control of the situation and succeeded
in putting down practically all oppo-
sition by the time the question came
to a vote.
One concession was made to the
radicals. The convention agreed to
the calling of general convention of
the miners at future date, at which
time the action of and reasons for the
general committee will be fully ex-
planned. The opponents of acceptance
of the Presidents plan made their
fight principally on the theory that
only a general convention OF the mine
Workers had power to call off the
strike.
