Most Opinion Neutral

A very large number Of papers,
majority Of the more important
papers of the country, take a neu-
trail attitude in discussing the fail
ure Of the conference, making u
plain that they have no definite
labor policy themselves, and feel
that the country has not as yet
worked out a policy. A hesitation
to commit themselves on specific
questions. is to be noted in these
comments.
Most of the papers which analvze
the dispute in detail agree on the
essential cleavage which finally DIS
rupted the conference. 1t was a
narrow chasm, but a deep one. All
hands could agree heartily for
collective bargaining 1t was
upon the methods of collective bar
gaining that the disagreement re
NAMED fixed AS The Philadel-
phia North American described

trial demands appear to have been
taken as virtually q mandate Of the
convention to the unions representa-
tives. Mr.. Lewis's uncompromising
stand for the demands has been a sur
prise to those who know his record
for conservative leadership and readi-
ness to make the best bargains pos
sible without break Of relationhip.
The United Mine Workers, indeed,
though a compact and self-conscious
organization, has a good record in
the past for the keeping of agree
ments and the avoidance Of strikes.
"Mr. Lewis is alleged to have feared
that if the demands we're not fully
conceded by the operators unauthor-
led strikes would take place IN many
fields, under the leadership of the rad
icals. If this is the case, the defeat
OF the radicals at the Cleveland con-
vention was more nominal than actual
They are still vigorously boring from
within. The unions old leadership is
in melancholy position indeed if il
IS between the devil Of syndicalism
and the deep sea OF arbitrary asser-
ton Of power against the public in
terest a. set forth by the President Of
the United States. The nation cannot
view either alternative with tolerance "
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-02
The Line Of Ciearage

zone fact Is important The princi-
pie of collective bargaining appeared
in every proposal. The cleavage came
upon definition Of that term TIE
labor union group interpreted it to
mean labor unions only; this position
was inspired by the fact that peaceful
settlements or cooperative systems
arrived a by dealings between en-
ployers and shop committees or work
councils tend to weaken unionism as
now constituted The employers, on
the other hand. gave TO the term an
Interpretation in which they see no.
only a means of settling disputes. but
weapon against unionism. Essen-i-
ally, labor and capital divided upon the
naked issue OF control
Thus, while disruption came over
what on the surface appeared to be
a narrow definition OF detail, it
really went to the bottom Of tee
basic misunderstanding between
capital and labor. And toward
bridging that chasm, the conference

railroads must not be allowed to suf-
fer total paralysis because 100000 coal
miners and a 1000 or more coal
operators have deadlocked over new
wage scale or gone TO war over the
Interpretation of an old one.
ut would be a spineless government
that stood aside in idleness while such
a disaster as is now threatened was
forced on the nation, particularly SO.
II it had the power to prevent that
disaster and yet failed to exercise it,
II may be safely assumed that all
other expedents will be exhausted be-
fore the Administration falls back on
the Lever act to keep the mines work
ing, but if those expedients fail 1t is
comfortable to realize that there is an
authority left which may step into the
situation and assure the people Of
measurable supply Of coal"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-02
REASONABLE

ut is profoundly unfortunate that
the present emergency finds the head
of the Federal government temporarily
handicapped by illness from the full
and energetic exercise Of his powers;
but the people may have full conf
dence that those powers will be used
and that his warning Is backed by a
determination to put down treason
wherever it shall be found Under the
circum stances, strike OF the miners
would be reasonable. and should be
treated as such"
In number Of papers there is
frank expression of impotence
with the existing industrial turmoil
and the opportunity for show
down and a fight to a finish is
welcomed. Says The Portland
(Ore.) Press for example;
What is to be done about it? Are
We to suffer all Of our industries to
be shut down? Are we to suffer our
railroads 20 cease operating? Are we
to suffer for want of food and fuel?
Are we TO dig down in our pockets
deeper than we ever have before to
pay excessive wages to men who re-
fuse 10 work more than thirty hours
week when almost every one else Is
willing 10 work forty-eight hours a
week and many great deal more7
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-02

One more note Of impotence on
behalf Of the public deserves quota
ton from "The Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune":
The people of America. independent
Of class limitation, industrial or social,
have reached the extreme Of patience
with the unreasonable. reasonable,
anarchistic actions of parties at inter
est in industrial productiveness They
are weary OF being made victims of
every whim Of capital and of labor
They are tired to death, or what is
more 10 the purpose, to the dead line
OF endurance, OF the absolute incon-
siderateness with which their interests
comfort, convenience, health and hap
piness are constantly and continuously
ignored by both employer and EN-
ployee, producer and prohteer, in their
contentious and controversies over d.
vision of profits. In short, the public
is al the parting of the ways with the
role OF goat thrust upon it by those
II pays, and pays we'll, for service"
It seems clear that the genera!
opinion of the country is strongly
condemnatory Of the miners strike
and resolved upon using all the
weapons necessary to beat it.

Government Operations

"The Baltimore American" is
equally outspoken in favor of gov
eminent operation if necessary:
president Wilson has served notice
on them that if they strike the United
States government will take over the
mines and operate them. This is no
idle threat on the part OF the Presi-
dent. The law is there and the law
will be enforced 10 the limit. There
can be no palaver, no dilly-dallying
with these miners They need a whole
some lesson and must be taught it in
a way they will never forget. There
must be no parleying with them, no
concessions to their demand for un-
reasonable increase in wages and other
benefits. They must be compelled to
work at present wage rates or quit the
mines. Other men will stand ready to
take their places and keep the coun-
trys houses warm through the winter
and to keep the country's industries
running at full speed.

larry, but by United States soldiers, by
men who have served through the war
and who know how to deal with al

outspoken words of the President

praise from all sections Of the coun-

Neither the operators nor the
miners, nor both together, will, in

helped much by Mr. Lewis's apprehen-
sion that arbitration would be a long
drawn out proceeding, deliberately
made SO by the operators Whatever
he may base such a suspicion on, the
alternative which by implication he
offers. Of unconditional surrender to
the miners under threat of strike, is
surely an intolerabie one for the pub
lie
II, is instructive to recall that the
Cleveland convention. while vigorously
turning down all syndicalist proposals,
declared for the naturalization Of
mines and their operation under the
plan proposed By the brotherhoods Tor

Failure Of Industrial Gathering Stirs
Much Regret But Little Surprise

:" HE industrial conference
/ called by President Wilson
had apparently not stirred
high hopes, for its demise
seems to have been generally ex-
pected and discounted. Some
papers see a gain in the discussion

eral view is that nothing was &C

Blame for the failure is fixed in
such variety Of ways that it is
difficult to see any crystallization
In public opinion as result of the

papers blame the delegates of cap
tai for their refusal to yield on the
