Shows kilograms Praising
Criticism of Coal Strike

kilograms approving his speech
criticising the proposed bituminous
Senate today by Senator Freling-
huysen of New Jersey. chairman of
the committee which has investigated
the coal situation. One of the mes
sages was from the Washington Coal
Operators Association, at Seattle. 1t
declared that if the demands of the
United Mine Workers were granted
II would mean an increase in the cost
of coal produced in western Wash
ington to the consumers of from $3.50
to S. a ton, owing to the difficult
mining conditions there. This would
result in shutting down important
mines and curtailing the states in
duStries-
Also, it was pointed out. the miners
there have in their contract with the
operators clause which provides
that six weeks before the termination
of the contract both parties shall
meet to negotiate a new one. Yet the
United Mine Workers will order the
men out on Novmber l unless all their
demands made to the operators in the
central field. comprising Illinois, In
diana, western Pennsylvania and
Ohio, are granted.
A second telegram was from Dan
willie. Ill. signed by F. E Butcher
manager of the Electric Coal Com
pany. and declared that the rank and
file of the miners do not wish to
strike and are not back of the de-
mands made by the union officers
Senator F'relinghuysen said TODAY
that he hoped his committee woulC
be able to frame legislation which
would make collective bargaining

Admittedly. the vote on the pre-
amble will be closer than on the reser-

cable. the other governments indi-
eating their assent.
The claim is made. however, that a
majority will be found for adoption OF

Frelinghuysen in his speech III ,he

That wages be increased at the ex

amount equal to the difference be-
tween increases in wages received by
mine workers since July. 1914. and the
increase in the cost of living since
that date.
That the increase be effective from
the termination of the present agree

That on these conditions the strike
order be Withdrawn and that the
miners continue at work on these
terms: that negotiations be entered
into at the usual time for making the
new scale effective after March 81.

The Secretary. bearing in mind that
this was one of the principal issues
in dispute. said. it would be matter
for negotiation. The miners have con-
tended that the wartime wage agree
ment. under which they have been
working, ended with the armistice,
while operators argue that it will
hold until peace is formally declared
by ratification of the treaty.

Urges National Standpoint.

Senator Johnson pleaded
that the question be considered from
a national standpoint only. Every
other nation, he said, was acting in
its own national interest. and the
United States could not afford to be
the only country in the world acting
on a disinterested and altruistic basis.
Asserting that the British colonies
might secure places on the league

been paved for such a step by the

as that of separate. distinct and SOW

tionalism." declared the California
senator, which influenced senators to
oppose making American representa-
ton in the~league equal to that of
any other nation.
"What Makes Us FearP" He Asks.
What is this unholy thing" asked
the senator. that makes US fear to
claim for our country the thing that
is her due? Almost everywhere it is
accepted that the United States Is en-
titled to as many votes as any power
in the world. 1t isn't denied in Eu-
rope. it isn't denied in Canada and it
is denied in the United States Senate
alone. 1t is only this Senate that is
jealous of an increase in the voting
power of this country"
The California senator assailed
what he called the: "Anglo-apanese
PRESS in this country, which he de-
clared was ready to Club and
bludgeon" any one who spoke for
American interests against the inter-
ests Of the British and Japanese en-
pires. He asserted that this element
and the press had devoted itself cx-
clusively in the past few months to a
propaganda in behalf of Great Britain
and Japan, and to abuse of those who
speak for the United States"
