u. S. TO SEIZE MINES
where OWNERS FAIL TO

tween operators and miners came
after three hours of bitter debate be-
hind closed doors yesterday after

Dr. Garf1eld's suggested IA per cent
wage increase to the miners. This the
miners had rejected. They. in turn.

gates. except John l.. Lewis. acting
president of the United Mine Work

Everybody among them said there
was nothing further to be done In

Lewis refused to make any comment
whatever regarding continuance. of
the strike, which has prevailed since
called off by a federal Injunction. But
he and William Green, secretary of
the United Mine Workers, vigorously
criticised the government.

''The operators are pretending to ac-

the United States government cannot
break it's word. The pledge of Sec
rotary Wilson to grant us 81 per
cent increase must he redeemed. N
my judgment DIR. Garfield and the
cabinet have committed the most CO.
lossal blunder in the history of our
nation. They are blindly following an
academic theory, without regard TO
justice to the mineworkers or ef1ects
on the people of the United States.
Responsibility for the Crisis now
confronting the nation must be with
those statesmen using the powers OF
government to Cypress and deny JUS
tice to great element of It's c1tlzen-

II cannot believe the people Of our
country will indorse such policy OF
oppression and repression. when

intense suffering on the part OF the
mine workers and our citizenship.
Doubt About Resumption
With that Lewis brushed away all
questioners. His associates, however.
confirmed the impression that there
would be no resumption of work In
the mining camps now closed.
accused Dr. Garfield of doing great
injustice to a million miners" in maxi
ing his analysis of the situation. and
said the fuel administrators action
approached the commission OF a
moral crime against the public"

AUSTRIA'S HEAD

DR.. Seitz Says That Other

statement:
During tho armistice we had hopes
that President Wilson's fourteen
points would DO observed, But we
fear now that we will DO badly dis
appointed. first, az regards tho self
determination OF peoples and In Civ

tho principles of nationality. There
are 100000 German Bohemians who
arc made foreigners In their own
country under the rule OF people not
sympathetic TO Germany. Tho same
may be said Of the Tyrol. where
commerclal and racial questions are
subordinated TO the strategic. al
though President Wilson's point said
the opposite.
We are also troubled about the
Jugo- claims on MhrburK and
klaSenfurt, which are Austrian cities.
Last November we gave up our
claims to the territory south OF these
cities which N Slovene, but the Jugo-
Slavs arr not content, notwithatand-
Ing the fact that there are only a
few Slovenes in the territory we
claim and that they live with us for
business relusons. We also gave up
tho Tronuno without n question,
Il wish to say In the most solemn
manner that Austria Is doomed TO die
if she is not permitted TO join Ger
many, We cannot live alone. We
have a great city with a small ter
Titory composed OF mountains and
plains. II the Allies give our Ger
man provinces To the Czecho- Slovaks
and Jugo- -Slavs without making the
new owners take up the burdens In
the way OF taxation and war debts,
II viii mean our bankruptcy, II we
go bankrupt II will mean worse
social troubles than those OF Russia
with menace to the peace OF
Europe.
n must be understood that many
OF these war debts were contracted
not for var purposes, but for allow
ances to families di stributed through
out the empire, not In Vienna alone.
Another point II that part OF the war
debt was contracted for supplies
manufactured by the Industrial towns
OF Bohemia, who profited by IT. They
are willing to take the pro1its, but not
the losses
my thought Is that the war bur
dens should be distributed per capita
among the $4,000 persons making
up the former empire. not including
Hungary. II Is Impossible to make
6l-2 per cent. OF the people pay all
the debt. II II Is argued that the
CEechs are entitled 20 special con-
sideration because they are one OF the
associated powers, II must be taken
Into consideration that "a majority OF
the Austrians did not want the war.
They were forced to night, just an the
Czecha were. AS II stands. we have
hardly enough money TO pay for our
