While the committee of Is, headed by

into the advisability Of the decentraliza-

is earnestly making this appeal to the

time to send in some soldiers name and

MINE STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

lust what happened behind the closed doors of the
room in which the General committee of the United
Mine Workers met at indianapolis is not yet matter OF
public knowledge but enough known to make it appar-
ent that the strike movement Of the miners ended precisely
where it started.
That is 10 say it was the radical Illinois leaders Of the
miners who first suggested the terms of the scale which was
finally adopted by the Policy committee. 1t was the
radical element among the Illinois miners who sci up the
scheme which tied the hands Of Acting President Lewis
and the other general officers Of the Mine Workers and
made the Scale committee responsible not to the mine work.
ers themselves had always been the before, but
to The convention 1t was fear of this radical element
which made Lewis and his fellow officers unwilling to
compromise when they first realized that the organization
had overshot the mark and would be defeated if general
strike did take place. 1t was the radical Illinois element
that fought the settlement hardest and longest.
There are good reasons for believing that for some of
the racalsm and certainly for great deal OF the per-
ssency with which it was pushed among the locals of Inc
Mine Workers. the country thank some Illinois coal
operators who were foolish enough to believe that they
would have an advantage the whole coal industry II
thirty hour week were forced upon the country and base
enough to be willing to try to help it along Now that the
whole thing has failed these operators will take more than
usual pains to cover up their tracks and they may succeed
and the public may never learn the details of the plot
However, the mere suspicion that such unnatural and
trouble making alliance existed should warn the Committee
ct Three which will now be appointed to study the blum
inou situation and formulate new scale and working
conditions agreement that the old system Of making scales
on Central Competitive district basis should be done away
with and future agreements between the men and the oper
ators negotiated on a national basis.
As for the Mine Workers, if when they had Frank Far
rngon and his gang of higbnders out on the end Of
limb yesterday they did not embrace the opportunity to
saw off the limb they missed golden opportunity and will
live regret it Strong as they are numbers
and public support the United Mine Workers, like the
various organizations of the steel making industry, will have
to put their radicals in position where they DO no
harm if they want to recover the prestige they lost through
the loss of the strike movement which nauguarated this
fall
