Washington, Nov 27.-An abrupt end
came late to-day to all attempts to
settle the nationwide coal strike by
peaceful agreement.
Miners and operators spent bleak
Thanksgiving afternoon in embittered de-
bate over the government proposal for
IA per cent wage increase, made last
night by Fuel Administrator Garfield. re-
jectcd it and every other proposal that
was forthcoming and then dissolved sine
die.
Participants went home tonight. and
where the break left coal coal strike
conditions no one of them, miner or
operator would say. Likewise. in official
quarters there was silence.
Act President John L. Lewis, of the
mine workers, though refusing to say one
word as TO the strike itself, which
theoretically was called off in obedience
to federal court injunction holding it a
violation of the Lever act for wartime
food and fuel control, scored the govern
ment roundly at the conclusion of the
conference. SO did william Green. secre-
airy of the mine workers.
Operators though acce pting the gov
eminent proposal definitely in a letter
Of explanation to DR.. Garfield. which
they made public. minated that the
government refusal to allow price in
creases would bear reconsideration.
1t was behind closed doors that the
coal situation reached its climax to-day
after involving the full attention of the
federal government for two days pre-
viously. There was much heated oratory
but T. W. Guthrie of Pittsburg, acting
chairman Of the operators committed
described the parliamentary procedure
succinctly as he came out. The operators,
by pre-arranged plan, notified the
miners committee for the central COM
petitive field of their acceptance of DIT
Garfied's plans.
This the mine workers promptly voted
down. In turn, the miners put forward
counter-proposal that Secretary Will
sons suggestion for 1886 per cent wage
increase be granted, and this the opera
tors fatty refused. For the third time
the operators renewed their formal offer
Of arbitration, and this the miners vote1
down. Unanimously an adjournment was
voted.
The operators are pretending to ac-
cept DR.. Garfield's proposal" Mr.. Lew
IS said. manifesting scorn and indigna-
ton as he called the newspaper men
around him in the Uttered and noisy
hall that was the scene of the all-day
gatherings.
But as they do it they state they are
unable to operate many Of their mines
under it. 1t would be foolish for us to
attempt to make an agreement unless
miners are to be given work.
our position is unchanged. Ne hold
the United States government cannot
break It's word. The pledge of Secretary
Wilson to grant us a 81 per cent increase
must be redeemed. In my judgment DR..
Garfield and the cabinet have committed
the most colossal blunder in the history
of our nation. They are blindly follow
ing an academic theory, without regard
to justice to the mine workers or effects
on the people of the United States.
