SILENCE: EASY
TO END STRIKE
Head Of Miners Says Gov
ernment Can Bring
About Settlement.

Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. A.

first time today, since the time when

John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, gave out the following brief
statement in regard to government
efforts to end the strike of ap-
proximately 425.000 soft coal min
ers:
"The machinery Of the Joint sys-
tenn Of bargaining in the mining
industry is intact. It would be a
simple matter for the government
and the coal operators again to set
in motion to negotiate q wage
agreement.
The statement was given to press
representatives, following q con-
ference Mr.. LAWS had with his at
torney. which lasted practically all
morning.
Nothing Else to Say.
The miners leader said he he'd
nothing to add to the typewritten
statement, and none of the other
officials made any comment. Re-
port from the Indiana coal district

break in the ranks Of union min
ers, the coal operators. 1t is said,

ton. No violence has been re-
ported.

FANS FIRE Of

Circulation of Radical Pa
pers Is Big Problem
to Government.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The ArguS).

q
Washington, D. c., Nov. Moth
ing has awakened such surprise
here in long time as the fact that
coal strike is actually in progress
in the United States in the face of
an overwhelming public sentiment
to the contrary. The impotence
Of public opinion as affecting at
least 100000 men has been SO force
fully demonstrated that official
Washington is searchini for the
fundamental causes thereof. Why
do, 100000 men in America defy or
ignore the wishes OF the whole
country? Do the miners read the
daily newspapers and are they SIM
ply unresponsive to any expressions
therein or are they absolutely ig-
norant Of public opinion taking
their doctrine from the lips Of radi-
cal leaders and agitators?
Many Radical Publications.
Inquiry at the department of JUS
tice where a sharp eye is kept ON
radical publications reveals the
startling fact that during the war
and since the armistice at least
400 publications have sprung up OF
a radical tendency, including about
800 published in foreign languages.
Their combined circulation reaches
many millions, not a few of whom
are negroes. When it is considered
that there are Nv. w. organs pub
.l.shed in German and Russian and
that they are preaching In aheir
columns a disregard and q distrust
CT the great bulk of the English
language newspapers and when it is
considered too, that the circulations
of these radical publications is rap
idly increasing some idea of the
causes Of industrial unrest In Amer
lea can be obtained.
Suppression Not Effective.
Just now the newspapers OF
America are beginning to worry
about a possible shortage Of white
print paper. Owners Of paper
mills say the demand Is greater
than the supply. Usually the blame
is placed on the increased size Of
the Sunday newspapers, but 1t
would be interesting to discover
