strike set for November 1, failed utter
ly last night and half a million miners
will quit work on the very eve of win

gerously low. Even an appeal from
President Wilson, sick in bed at the
White House, was not enough TO bring
peace to a conference that was torn
and on the breaking point half doz-
en- times in three days. Charges and
counter charges flew thick and fast
as the groups of operators and miners
filed out of the meeting.
While the operators announced that
they had accepted the presidents Of
fer to wipe the slate clean and ne
gotiate a new wage agreement, the
miners charged that the operators had
bolted without the consent of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, the storm center
of an extraordinary fight to save the
country untold distress and suffering.
Surrounded by a score of miners,
John L. Lewis, president of the Unit,
ed Mine Workers of America, hurried
out of the hall and halted long enough
to announce that the strike order stood
and that the miners would walk out
after a full days work on the closing
of the present month.
The final breaking up of the con-
ference, Lewis said meant that Off
cial notice of the failure would be
sent forthwith to the unions every
where to order the men out of the |
mines at the appointed hour.
The presidents appeal was made |
through Secretary Wilson after the |
latter had exhausted every possible eff |
fort and had pleaded until his throat |
ached. 1t pointed out what strike |
meant and urged the two sides to get |
together. negotiate their differences,
resorting to arbitration only in the
event that negotiations failed. The i'm
portant point in the proposal. however
was that the mines be kept open and
the miners stay at work.
