MINE WORKERS AGAIN DECLARE
THEIR STRIKE ORDER WILL STAND

bcsecchcd them to do so. The funda-
mental causes which prompted the mine
workers to take this drastic action are
deep-scated. For two Cyars their wages
have remained stationary. They APP
pealed one year ago to the federal fuel
administrator. Mr.. Garfield, and from
him to the president Of the United
States, Off an increase in wages SUI
ticent to meet the increased cost Of the
accessories OF life. Their appeal was
rejected and their request refused. Not
withstanding this they continued mining
coal until now their contract expires.
when they are determined that their
grievances must y" adjusted in a rea-
-soncbl ysatisfaCtnry manner.
The courts hav" held that the work
ing men have a right to strike and may
quit work either singly or collectively
for the purpose Of ledressing grievances
and righting wrongs. Tho constitution
and guarantees Of this free government
give men the right to work or quit
work individually or collectively.
The mine workers. therefore are but
exercising the rig, guaranteed by the
constitution. and which cannot be taken
away by the representatives OF govern
ment when they quit work or when they
refuse to work until their grievances
are adjusted. The min" workers repre-
sentatives are ready. willing and anX-
ious to meet the coal operators for the
purpose Of negotiating an agreement
and bringing about settlement Of the
present unhappy situation. They will
respond at any time - call for such
a meeting. and will honestly endcavor
TO work out wag" agreement upon n
fair and equitable basis. which agree
ment alone will put the mines in opera
ton and guarantee the nation an ado
quatc supply OF coal We assert that the
mine workers have no other purpose in
yiew-other than TO secure 4 working
wage agreement. All Of their demands
are incorporated in the wage proposals
submitted to the coal operators. and
each and oil arc subject to negotiation.
CONSCIOUS Of the grave responsibility
resting upon the representatives OF the
coal miners. we have no other altcrna-
tive than to carry out the Instructions
OF the United Mine Workers convention.
The issue has been made. and 4 IT must
be settled upon tn" field Of industrial
hattie. the responsibility rests fairly
and squarely upon the coal barons
alone"
