THE MINERS OFFER NO HOPE
Claim Secretary Wilson Pledged a 81
! Per Cent Raise-FueI Director
Garfield Suggests Increase

Washington. n.--The conference be-
tween the coal miners and the opera.
tors broke up without reaching any set
tlement of the wage controversy.
The miners unanimously rejected
the government proposal, made by DR..
Garfield at the direction of the cabi-
net, for IA per cent wage increase
without Increasing the prie, of coal.
The operators notified DR.. Garfield
Of their acceptance, but pointed out
thar no inerease wages without in
creasing the selling price would elm
mate the profits of large number OF
mines and seriously affect production.
They said they would rely upon the
government to make later adjustments
in prices to remedy this.
The breaking up of the conference
puts, the acoaf situation directly up to
the government in more serious way
than ever. It's now matter for
the consideration of the cabinet.
United States. Fuel Administrator
Garfield said he had nothing to add
to the statement he made when he
D1aid the government proposals before
the operators and the miners.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, whose
position that the miners should have
been pffereda raise OF 31.6 per cent,
was turned down by his fellow cabi-
net officers, SAID that he had no COM
mont tor make on the failme of the
coal conference to reach a settlement.
John E Lewis, president OF the
B1.tr 4 saiias Workers, s1llu a4ier tns
conference ended:
"The operators are pretending to ac-
cept DR.. Garfield's proposal. but as
they do it they state they are unable
to operate many or their mines under

tempt toxmake an agreement unless
miners are to be given work.
Sour position is unchanged. We
hold the United States government
cannot break its word. The pledge
of Secretary Wilson to grant us a
81 par cent increase must be re-
deemed. In my opinion DIR. Garfield
and the cabinet have committed the
most colossal blunder in the history
of our nation. They are blindly fol-
lowing an academic theory. without
regard to Justice to the mine workers
Or effects on the people of the United
States.

REPORT SECRETARY BAKER
Americas Participation In the War and
Its Postwar Problems concisely n
Summarized.

Washington, The annual report Of
Secretary Of War Baker, made pubic
covers briefly the entire participation
of the United States In the great war,
and more at length the postwar prob
lens which his department was called
on to solve. 1t is not b lengthy docuf
ment, when the magnitude d. the sub.
ject is considered, for the secretary
leaves much of the detail to be told in
the forthcoming report of General Per
shing. q
Considerable space II devoted to the
departments plans for future military
policy, including the creation of new
army, and with marked educational fea-
lures. The matter OF an independent
air service, which has been much
talked OF, is discussed at length, and
the conclusion reached that the time
has not come to set up an independent
department OF the air, there being as
yet no commercial use nor likelihood
of the commercial use Of the airplane
which will prove profitable enough to
maintain the industry. AID certainly
no such prospect of Independent effec-
itveness of aircraft rs an agency Of war
to justify reliance upon to the detri.
ment Of the traditional MILITARY arms. !"
High praise II giyea by MI. Baker to

were conducted; and becapse. Of relief
which his purchases afforded % us in
