Chairman Lane of Conference Told to

Not Promising.

Washington, Oct. 22.-President Will
son, despite his illness, took hand in

man of the public group; Thomas L.
Chadbourne, chairman of the commit
tee of fifteen and Secretary Tumulty.

comprehensive program, involving all
industrial issues of a general nature.
1t was understood that reference to
the specific issue that has caused the
present situation would be avoided.
President Signs Message.
The president Immediately dictated
the letter to a stenographer and signed
the completed copy with a lead pencil.
Members of the employers group

collective bargaining resolutions. but

Senator FreIinghuysen Paints
1t as "NeW Autocracy."
MEET TO AVERT MINE STRIKE
Representatives of Workers and OPP
orators Open Conference at Wash

ina Pat-LittIe Progress.

tives of miners and operators met with
Secretary of Labor Wilson in a final
effort to settle wage disputes and thus
avert the strike Of 100000 bituminOus
coal miners called for Nov. 1.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America. and
operators committee, headed the two
delegations, comprising in all nearly
100 members.
In opening the conference, Secretary
Wilson urged that differences be ad-
justed in some way to save the coun-
try untold distress from the closing
down of mines in winter with less
than a months supply on hand.
Both Standing Pat.
Lewis and Brewster, on their way
to the meeting, which was secret, each
declared miners and operators were
standing firm.
''There will be no settlement unless
all our demands, including the five
day week, are granted" Lewis said,
while Brewster announced that the
operators would not open peace nego-
tiations unless the. strike order was
withdrawn.
Miners Attacked in Senate.
Unionism under its present leader
ship was attacked in the senate by
Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey
as new autocracy" tending toward
bolshevism.
Criticising the demands of the btu
minous coal miners for five-day
week and increased wages, Senator
Frelinghuysen, who is chairman of the
senate committee investigating the
coal strike, called upon American pub
lie opinion to scotch a movement
which he feared would result in class
government.
The New Jersey senator said the
demands of the miners, half of them
aliens, were ''inordinate" and could
not be granted as they would result in
decreased production and an Increase
in price to the consumer of from 81
to $3.50 a ton.
Must End Autocracy.

dictated to by these men?" he asked.
1.-THE time has come to put an end
to this new autocracy." said the SEN
ator. unless this intolerable condi-
ton can be rectifed; unless some
means can be found to prevent impo-
sition of such unthinkable demands
and penalties; unless collective bar
gaining can be continued in an orderly
manner and with due regard to the
! public welfare and comfort, a new
remedy must be applied-the remedy
of making labor amenable to the same
extent as capital to the laws, of the
United States"
Referring to the steel strike, the
New York longshoremen's strike, the
Boston police strike. the New York
pressmen's strike and other labor dis
| turbances. Senator Frelinghuysen said
where will this striking freRzy
stop? Unless a halt is called we shall
reach a state of anarchy infinitely
worse than the autocracy of Germany
This is class government and not de-
mocracy."

trOl of the sugar crop was opposed be-
fore the senate agriculture committee

said governmental control had brought
about an increase in price.
"ff the matter was left to the law of
supply and demand. it would soon get
down to a proper basis" he added.
