I'VE are neither bolshevists nor the

The position OF the miners has been

be In opposition to our demands.
Lewis asserted that these demands

Would Make Public Statement.
Members Of the public group said
this morning that should the labor
group-or the employers group, either
force disruption. the public group
would issue a public statement placing
the blame just where it belonged.
Such a statement would embody the
story of negotiations. SO that the pub
lie would have the opportunity of de-
termining for itself which side had
been reasonable and which unreason-
able.
If the employers group will support
a collective bargaining resolution
which the public group deems fair and
reasonable, 1t will be brought to q
vote in the conference and the public
group will join the employers group
In voting for its adoption. The labor
group then either would have to sup
port the resolution or find itself de-
prived of the advantage it now has
in being supported to date by the
public group.
