Cora Lee Sturgis, a Virginian, today,

Columbus, O., Jan. 5,--The expected

A motion made by Philip Murray

of the international officers and en-

tempts of the radicals to reject the
motion and to condemn the interna-

presidents proposal. Some of the dele

No Alternative Possible.

In the report, Acting President
Lewis and Secretary Green declared
there was no alternative and that they
had simply decided to Submit to the
inevitable, while protesting in our
hearts against what we believed to
be the unjust attitude of our govern
ment."
To have done otherwise, would
have meant revolt against the govern
ment, the report said.
Delegates piled Lewis with questions
as 10 whether the IA per cent advance
was final, and what effect ratification
of the action of the officers upon the
settlement might have.
In reply Lewis declared that he
believed the commission Of three men,
appointed by the president to consider
increases in wages and improvement
of working conditions of the miners, to
be fair and above reproach.
Il think we can prove to the com
mission that we are entitled to a fur
ther Increase said Lewis "and if
we prove, | believe we will get it," he
declared.
Lewis explained that the decision of
the commission would be made the
basis for the wage contract and would
supersede and absorb the IA per cent
advance which is only TO hold good
for sixty days, during which time the
commission is to make its report.
