Miners STRIKE
Strong Pressure Being
Brought to Bear on Coal
Diggers to Modify
Demands.
By JOHN STEELE.
New York Times Chicago Tribune Cable,
Copyrisbt, 1920. -r#


London, Aug. 22.-Trade union
lists in general are becoming much
worried over the threatened coal
miners strike next month, and
strong pressure is being brought to
bear on the miners to modify their
demands.
The strike would throw thousands
out of employment in iron, steel,
engineering, shipping and many
other trades, and there is no sympa-
thy for the miners demands among
the other workers.
The miners are the best paid Ia
Dor in the country. having gained
repeated advances in pay. and now
are claiming a 50-cent raise per SHIFT
and reduction in the price of coal
to the public. Many of the miners
now are working only three or four
days weekly because they can make
enough in that time to satisfy their
needs.
The miners are in triple alliance
with the railway men and transport
workers, but are pledged not to act
without them, and the railway men
are unwilling to undertake strike
at this time.
Mr.. Thomas, the railroad mems
leader, is trying to bring the miners
to their senses, and the cooperative
organizations on whom they are de-
pendent for their finances are also
seeking peace.
The current number of New Eu-
rope" contains a remarkable article
by G. r. Hunter, professor of his
tory at Robertson college, Jubble-
pore, India, pointing out the danger
to western Europe, America and the
east, from a German, Russian and
japanese combination. The first
principle of safety, he declares, is
the formation of a firmer alliance
between America and Europe. and,
second. this alliance should secure
oil supplies throughout the world.
without which to wage a successful
war is impossible.

Davies, democrat.
The Nonpartisan league has a
membership of about 10000 in the
state, mainly recruited in the north
ern localities among poorer farmers
on the cut-over lands, mainly for
eigners, and in some of the southern
counties where Berger's "kaiserites"
were strong in the 1918 contest.
La Toilette himself still has his
own following. not so numerous, of
course, as OF old, but still carrying
their support of the pompadour al
most to fanaticism. Then come the
socialists, who are we'll intrenched
in Milwaukee, and such OF the labor
which are under So
cialist influence, as in Milwaukee,
and bringing up the rear are. the
Plumb plan leaders.
That is the combination which is
seeking to capture the republican
ticket at the September primaries.
And. by the way, it was similar
combination last spring which gave
La Toilette nearly a solid delegation
from Wisconsin to the republican ma
tional convention.

The stock argument is that Len
