The mine operators promised the
government their unreserved cooper
alton in its efforts to keep the mines
open, Confidential reports from gov
eminent agents had led to the belief
that a large number of the union
miners would not strike and, In addi-
ton, II was estimated that the non
union mines could be counted on to
turn out a considerable quantity of
coal. Their annual production is about
lSOOOO,0OO tons out Of total Of 500.
100000 tons. At the best however,
the production will be tremendously
decreased and II the strike is pro-
longed consumption must be reduced
accordingly. In this process naturally
the uneSsential Industries will be the
worst sufferers and 1t is easy to pre-
dict that many thousands of them will
be closed down and vast numbers of
men and women thrown out Of en-
ployment
President Lewis OF the miners laid
lnc DlaIIle LOT the SITUATION on the
mine operators and severely criticized
President Wilson who, ne said. had
prejudged the case with only partial
and inaccurate knowledge OF the
facts. The union officials, while as
sorting they could not now stop the
strike, left open one possible door by
saying they were ready and anxious to
meet the operators for the purpose of
negotiating an agreement and bringing
about II settlement.

ready TO abandon the demand for

WORLD CONFERENCE
Of LABOR COMING
WILL BE HELD IN WASHINGTON
AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE
TREATY OF PEACE.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES FIXED
Leaders From Nearly All European
Countries Are to Partlclpate-Amer-
leans Are Not Afraid That Radicals
Will Seize Control.
BY JAMES p. HoRNAoAY.

WashingtOn.--ln spite of the fact
that the United States senate has not
yet ratified the treaty of peace with
Germany. the international labor CON
ference authorized by the peace treaty
will meet here on October %, In ac-
cordance with the call issued some
months ago. Neither the state depart
ment nor the labor department Is able
to say at this time what nations VIII
be represented at the conference. The
treaty Of peace provides that the orig
lnal members of the League o. Nations
shall he the original members of this
organization. 1t is now proposed that
the United States shall be represented
at the conference In an unofficial way.
Delegates representing this country
Will be present but will not have a
vote unless the treaty shall have been
ratified by the United States senate by
October 20.
In view of the unrest that exists
throughout the world, keen interest
will inevitably center on this labor
conference. The treaty Of peace enun-
ciates certain methods and principles
for regulating labor conditions.
Nine Guiding Principles.
The conference will be bound by
these principles or regulations, which
are as follows:
First-The guiding principle that la
Dor shall not be regarded merely as Il
commodity or article Of commerce.
Second-The right of assertion for
all lawful purposes by the employed
as well as by the employers.
Thlrd-The payment to the employee
Of wage adequate to maintain a rea-
sonable standard of life as this is un-
derstood in each country.
Fourth-The adoption Of the eight
hour day or 4S-hour week as stand
ard to be aimed at where ii has not
already been attained.
Flfth-The adoption Of a weekly
rest of at least "a hours, which will
include Sunday wherever practicable.
Slxth-The abolition of child labor
anu the lllpDSillbH vi NuNl lllullublplo
on the labor of young persons as shall
permit the continuation of their edu-
cation and assure their proper physi.
cal development
Seventh-The principle that men
and women should receive equal re-
Enumeration for work of equal value.
Eighth-The standard set by law in
each country with respect to the con-
ditions Of labor should have due re-
gard to the equitable economic treat.
ment of all workers lawfully resident
therein.
Ninth-Each state should make pro-
vision for a system of inspection, In
which women should take part, In or
der TO insure the enforcement of the
laws and regulations for the protection
of the employed.

The international labor conference
provided for by the peace treaty has
assembled at Washington but owing
to the treaty situation, II is In doubt
as to Its own status. Secretary OF
Labor Wilson called II TO order and
welcomed 1t to the United States, but
this country's official connection with
1t came to an end there. For the pres
ent the conference was considered "ln
process of organization" and thus Mr..
Wilson and other Americans were en-.
abled TO sit with the delegates from
other lands. The conference asked
the Federation OF Labor and the Uni.
ted States Chamber of Commerce 10
name delegates, and this was done.
Th'r y-one foreign countries were rep.
resented by SO delegates when the ses-
sions opened The representatives
from Germany and Austria were due
TO arrive November 3 and the organ
i2ing committee recommended that
they be given early participation.

Not Afraid Of Radicals.

The conference will bring TO the ma
tional capital the most influential la
Dor leaders in every European coun-
try with the exception Of Germany,
Austria and Russia. In some quarters
the fear has been expressed lest the
conference might fall into the hands
of the radical leaders. According TO
American labor leaders there is small
likelihood OF any such outcome. II 's
asserted by the American leaders that
the program speaks for itself as con-
sentative estimate Of what labor
should seek TO attain for itself. Presi-
dent Wilson had expected to address
the International conference at his
first meeting here but II Is certain
now that he will not be able To do
this, and 1t may be that Samuel NJ.
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. who took lead
ing part In the campaign which re-
suited in labor receiving recognition In
the treaty of peace, will not he able
to attend the meeting.
The conference will not nave author
lty to bind any nation to anything.
Whatever 1t accomplishes, 1t Is pointed
out, will be along the line of planning
to obtain recognition throughout the
world for the nine principles set out
above. In this connection II Is point
ed out that most of these principles
have already been accepted in the
United States. Under the treaty there
is to be an international labor office
established at the seat of the League
of Nations. This Office Is to be I'M
der the control of a governing body
consisting OF "a persons. One of Its
chief functions will be the collection
and distribution of information on all
subjects relating to the international
adjustment OF conditions of industrial
life and labor and particularly the ex
animation Of subjects which II is to
bring before the conference at Its an
nual meetings.
