CLOSING SOUTH

IS PROTESTED
Physicians Indignant Over
Boards Action and Make
Offer to Continue its

Indignation of South Side physi-
clans and surgeons was stirred up
yesterday when the South Side hos
pital. Twenty-fifth and G streets, the
only hospital on the South Side,
closed without any offers for the
continuance of the institution being
accepted
Following a meeting of South Side
doctors Tuesday night an offer was
made to the hospital association that
the institution be turned over to the
doctors together with a loan of
$1,000 from the hospitals funds. A
directorate of doctors was suggested
with the positions of secretary and
treasurer filled by non-medical men.

those making it did not represent

tors" stated c. R. Waters, president
Of the association, yesterday. any
how, il is state institution oper-
ated on the non-proft sharing plan
and we have no right to turn it over
to anyone"
Dissatisfaction with conditions ex-
listing at the hospital during the last
two years was expressed by several
of the doctors. 1t was pointed out
that Drs. Koutsky, Chaloupka and
others were sending their patients
uptown because of alleged discrimi-
nation.
"Th- doctors are making this hos
pital the goat of their quarrel" said
Mr.. Waters in regard to rumored
discrimination. mo complaints have
been made to the board of directors.
We always gave every doctor the
same treatment. We are temper
arily closing for alterations and re-
pairs. The building conditions are
such that I cannot say when it will
be reopened, probably before spring
We are going to install an elevator

Washington. Oct. 23.--Representa.
tives of labor did not Join In the ap-
plause which greeted the reading OF
President Wilson's letter Il the Ma.
tional Industrial conference, and Sam.
uel Gompers characterized most un-
fortunate" a motion by John Spargo Of
the public group. that each group
pledge the President it would make
every effort to accomplish the work
for which the conference was called.
The motion was withdrawn.
Under a suspension of the rules, the
collective bargaining resolution imme.
diately was brought TO discussion and
voted. the labor and public groups
uniting in its support On the roll call.
The majority against the resolution in
the capital group was one vote, but
under the conference rules this ma
jority was sufficient to defeat the reso.
luton.
AT this point the labor group left the
conference after Samuel Gompers had
announced that the proposal had been
rejected.
without right or reason, rejected
on grounds 80 fiimsy that the men
setting in the employers group will
have difficulty in explaining their &C.
tion to their fellows in the world"
You have defeated labor, but we
will meet you again in conference and
when we do meet you there you will
be glad to talk collective bargaining.
Il have sung my swan song in this
conference. You have by your action
legislated us out of the gathering. We
have nothing further to say, and it is
with a feeling of regret that we are
not able to remain longer. Our chief
regret Is the defeat of every fair pro-
position on. our part. The die is cast.
We cannot remain longer"
Representatives of the tour railroad
brotherhoods remained i'll the confer
ence until the session adjourned, but
they announced that they did so "out
of courtesy to the other delegates"
and that they were in accord with the
main body of the labor group.
Before the labor delegates left the
hall, Mr.. Spargo asked them not to
make their decision irrevocable, but
to remain with the understanding that
the conference would proceed to de.
velop and formulate the right of col.
lective bargaining"

MENACEs ARE SERIOUS
Congress May Act In Proposed
Coal Strike.
Solons Likely To Take Hand " Con.
ference to Prevent WaIkout
Does Not Agree.

Washington, Oct. 21.-When the
scale committees OF both the mine OPP
orators and the mine workers meet
with William b. Wilson. secretary of
labor to discuss the threatened strike
in the bituminous coal fields, more
than the issue of the strike will be at
stake. 1t is clear to Washington. The
question involves all of the issues be-
fore the. Industrial conference and all
OF the newer remedies put forward by
the railroad brotherhoods In the pro-
jected naturalization of railroads.
While the coal strike is pending, the
railroad men are understood to be
planning a last final demand upon the
Director General of the Railroad ad'
ministration before the roads are re-
turned to private ownership. with a
threat of a strike in December with
the urging of the plumb plan" OF
railroad control in the background.
The first sufferers from the coal
strike would be the factories and a
general shut down Of the mines would
undoubtedly tie up a great many
manufacturing industries, reducing
production and increasing the already
abnormally high cost OF living. II
would also, 1t is anticipated, have the
effect Of putting many members of
union labor out of employment and the
railroads Of the country would soon be
compelled to suspend operation in part
and q lnuO rouffpua pra NJ tho cfr;ka
would tie up the transportation sys-
TENS all together.
These serious to the strike
situation are not being overlooked and
congressional action is being looked
forward to as the logical result Of a
failure Of the miners and operators to
get together.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1919-10-30
MINERS REJECT
WILSON'S PLEA
Announce That Strike Will Begin
on November |, as Pre-
viousIy Planned.
SAY STRIKE IS FORCED
Operators Accepted Presidents Pro.
posaI to Resume Negotiations and
Arbitrate Any Contested Points
Coal Supply Is Short.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Oficial Wash
lngton, beginning to realize the mean
ing of a coal strike, was bombarded
with conflicting claims as to which
side was responsible. 1t turned, how
ever, to what Mr.. Wilson had dictated
at the final breakup as the explana-
ton, without knowing the next move.
Announcement by President Lewis
that the strike would begin at the
time called caused a hurried rush to
find out how much bituminous coal
there is on hand and how long it
might last, once the mines shut down.
The first reports were discouraging
although dealers and brokers' esti-
mates have indicated that the supply,
with proper care. might last a month.
Brewster Makes Statement.
Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of
the coal operators scale committee.
issued the following statement:
THE operators accepted President
Wilson's proposal to resume negotia-
tons for q wage scale and to submit
to arbitration any points which could
not be agreed to, the mines to be kept
at work during negotiations. This the
miners refused, thereby breaking off
the negotiations and making the strike
inevitable"
Say Strike Is Forced on Them.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, in a statement asserted that the
operators walked out of the confer.
ence" and did exactly what they set
out deliberately to do in the first
place-forced the bituminous miners
of the United States to strike"
Discussing the Presidents offer, the
statement said:
Knowing that the operators were
lead set against the making of a new
agreement, we knew that if both sides
accepted the two propositions made. by
President Wilson-the operators would
prevent a contract by negotiation and
then throw the entire matter into
arbitration.
Quitting Work Only Remedy"
"But we find that the only remedy
left to us Is a suspension of work, to
obtain better conditions and wages.
We did not want a strike. No one
understands better what a strike
mean than do the coal miners who
have been through strikes in the past.
But when conditions become unbear-
able, rs they have in this case, the
coal miners must do what the great
American people did when Germany
became arrogant and oppressive. They
must assert their manhood. We have
no fear as to the outcome. Nor do we
have any fear but that the American
public will see the justice Of our posi-.
tion and our action"
