ROTARIANS HEAR
ABOUT EUROPE
James H. Sanders Gives Inter-
esting Talk on What He
Found in Trip Abroad

James H. Sanders, who recently
went to Europe to study the potato
wart disease for the State govern
ment and the United States govern
ment, addressing a meeting of the
Harrisburg Rotary Club at luncheon
in the Harris to-day. gave it
as his opinion that the United States
will do we'll to cultivate public
opinion in Europe, establish news
papers there and teach the people
the extent, resources and general
conditions of America and American
life.
Mr.. Sanders visited all of the
warning countries and he says that
except in France the people are rap
idly forgetting their wartime hatred
for Germans and are cultivating new
trade relations with Germany, which
needs only raw materials to regain
its manufacturing stride in short
time. There is no love for America
in some of these countries, he says,
the people being jealous of our pros
perity and grossly ignorant of Amer
lea and everything American. Mr..
Sanders illustrated his talk with
lantern slides descriptive of his trip
and of conditions in the lands he
visited. Walter Shaffer, the aviator,
addressed the club in the interests
of an aviation field for Harrisburg.
Next week the club will have
surprise luncheon" The committee
in charge will not announce a single
thing concerning the affair, but say
it will be one of the biggest things
of the whole year.

ton of the operators that the con-
tract had not expired.
"Our contract read that it was to
continue in effect during the period
until the war ended and not to ex-
ceed March 81. $780," he replied.
THE war is over. Our soldiers
have returned. All the government
war agencies are disbanded. A Ger
man vessel of war is even now head
ng for New York, upon n peace mis-
sion. In substance, form and real
ity, the war is ended, and our con-
tract has expired.
Men Cannot Live
well, now we are willing to
stand on the merit OF our proposal.
This 60 per cent. increase is subject
to negotiations, as are all demands
of the United coal miners, but they
will not even negotiate.
During the past twelve months
the miners of the United States have
averaged only SIS a month. or $500
for the entire period. The men
have worked on an average of less
than three days week since the
armistice was signed. Men with fami-
lies cannot live on this amount. Chill
dren in mining camps are under
nourished.' This is matter of life
and death to the women and chill
dren of the miners families as we'll
as it is to the public. Charity be-
gins at home.
"Our aim is to make n shorter
working period and to distribute the
work over more days during the
year. The miners in England have
q seven-hour day, from bank to
bank, which means from the time
they leave the surface of the ground
until they get back. Miners in the
United States have an eight-hour
day, but that doesn't count until
they get to the face of the coal.
They are in reality working nine
and n half hours n doy"

Mr.. Lewis said that he had not re-
ceived any message from Washing

Saturday evening to return to his

October 6. He added that the meet

to convene at Indianapolis at 10

gathering had been called primar-

strike.
Blames Operators
When asked to make a statement
on the right of the miners to strike
November l, inc the face of the
critical conditions. he said:
The coal operators have not Of
fered a single constructive sugges-
ton designed to avert this catas-
trophe. All through the negotiations
at Buffalo, later ut Philadelphia and
still later at Washington, the miners
waited ift>-Yain for any counter pro-
posal to be submitted by the opera
tors. During the conference with
Secretary Wilson at Washington we
said many times that We were will

coal operators without reservation

made was repeatedly declined. The
responsibility for the stoppage of
work in the bituminous coal districts

operators"
