ut standstill throughout Illinois and
an impending walkOut of 10000 miners
In the central competitive fields threaten
ing the fuel supply of the entire coUn-
try, Illinois coal operators today were
bending every effort toward securing
government Intervention.
The Illinois operators planned to ap-
peal to President Wilson to reassembIe
the federal bituminous coal commission
IN order to reopen the award negotia-
tons
The operators are reported to be ready
to recommend to the commission that
the increase granted the men be adjusted
SO that the workers will get an increase
Of 50 per cent over the amount they
received before the commission made its
award last April
TElS. the operators believe, would make
the total percentage Of increase granted
the day men the same as that allowed
the miners in the April award.
tne operators believe that a speedy
settlement Of the situation IN the central
field Is possible If the federal govern
ment revives the coal commission.
President Wilson is awaiting advice
from Secretary Of Labor Wilson before
he taxes any action with regard to call
ing upon the laborers in the coal in

Harrington declared there was no ma
terial change IN the Illinois situation
today except that a few independent
companies had agreed to grant the
miners increases.
we are doing everything possible to
get all the miners back to work." Far
rington said.
1T is better to straiZhten out the mat

Overtaken US and the country is In more
desperate need Of coal.
There can be no hope Of a steady
production Of coal in this state until the
matter is adjusted" he said.
Harrington, referring to ths statement
Saturday IN which John W. Lewis, in
ternational president, said 4 settlement

the result would be to combine interests
against Illinois miners.
he believes adjustment in Illinois
would lead to a peaceful settlement of IN

He said Lewis should only call striko
on merit and not because Of any successes
Illinois miners might have. -
Increases asked By miners can be grant
ed without causing raises In coal prices

APPROVE PLANS
TO RESURFACE
Delaware Street Improvement
Given o. X.

AT the weekly meetings of the Board
of public works today the question OF
widening and resurfacing North Della
ware street, between Sixteenth and Nine
tenth street, was taken up.
The report of City Engineer f. c. Lin
genfelter shows the cost of the work es-
timated at $2s,Ss4.40, including the street
and alley intersections.
Not including these intersections the
cost is placed at $27,811.30.
The engineer estimates the cost at
S10.01 a lineal foot.
The appraised valuation of property af-
fected is $3.50, $40.
The board approved the report of the
engineer and the matter Of hearing re-
monstrances will be the next action.
Under the plan of the engineer, the jog
at Sixteenth street will be eliminated and
the roadway widened from thirty to thir-
ty-six feet, taking three feet from each
side of the street.
The board, which had previously ad-
vertised for bids on ten Jobs of grading
and graveling, found when they opened
the box that no bids had been received
on the work.
1t was said chat the scarcity and high
price Of gravel was largely responsible
for no bids being received as most con
tractors could not keep their bids within
the engineers estimated costs because of
high prices for gravel

His statement follows:
"The present situation In the Illinois

Iamentable blunder Of the United States
bituminous coat commission which. In
its majority award, failed to provide
adequate compensation for certain CLASH
Acations of mine workers.
This award was affirmed by President
Wilson over the protest Of the national
officers Of the United Mine Workers and
IN violation OF the pledges of the United
States government that Justice would be
rendered the miners.
"Since the rendition of the award the
nine workers in most Of the coal pro-
ducing fields have been employed but a
small percentage Of full time due to the
miserable breakdown Of the nations IA
