WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Aug. 29-Ac-
tion that almost amounts to a general
strike order to 175,000 union miners
of the anthracite coal field was taken
early this morning by 300 delegates of
the mine locals after bitter ail-nght
session. They gave President Wilson
direct warning of the complete failure
of his wage commission to reach a
satisfactory settlement.
Officials Of the United Mine Workers
who entered into the agreement to have
the wage commission act we're ruled
out of the hall and told they had be-
trayed the workers interests Officers
of the United States Department of
Justice, headed by Charles Ramsdell,
were informed that no threat of en-
forcement of the Lever act could deter
the mine workers from protecting their
own interests.
At the end of the meeting telegram
was drafted and signed by a committee
of five men. 1t informed the President
creator of the coal wage commission
that he has three days in which to up
hold the minority report of Neil Ferry
or throw out the entire case of the
miners and order a rehearing.
The ultimatum to President Wilson
said:
"Whereas, We, the representatives OF
the United Mine Workers of America
of District No. /, at meeting held
August %, 1920, urge the acceptance
of the minority report of the commits
sion appointed by you to make award

urge that the acceptance of said report
is the only means to promote peace in
the anthracite regions; and, whereas
it was also decided at this meeting, ir
the City of Wilkes Barre, that we wish
an answer on or before September 21
1920, otherwise all men will refrain
from work"
The delegates represent the real
power of the United Mine Workers, as
they are the instructed agents Of the
colliery locals and the men directly in
touch with the entire labor movement
They openly declared on the platform
during the stormy protest session that
their officers have outlived their use.
fulness and cannot be regarded as
representing the real interests of the
rank and file"
Press reports alone have indicated
to the miners that DR.. Thompson anc
w. Connell, majority members of the
Presidents wage commission, settled
upon II per cent as the maximum Of
increase. The minority report of Ferry
is for 27 per cent.
The 800 clamoring men who gathered
in Union Hall cheered their spokes

cent wage increase was less than coult
have been obtained by direct confer
ence between the men and the oper
ators. 1t is only as much as Secretary
of Labor Wilson was willing to offer
with the operators permission.
| The delegates at the meeting repre-
sented 100 insurgent locals of Distric
No. 1, who charge that the present of
ficials of the district were elected BY
fraudulent returns.
A meeting will be held here Wednes
day night to take action if President
Wilson ignores the request sent hin

He turned in his seat to shout to the

His congregation was aroused to
laughter to-day when the preacher
darted out of the pulpit to one of the
front pews in order to show them how

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 29.-Vaca-
tionists at Washington's Crossing,
whose conduct the Rev Frederick S.
Kopfman, of Titusville. has made the
subject of sermons and intends to de-
scribe to the township board, attacked
tho clergyman with rotten tomatoes
and other missiles to-day when he
passed through the community in an
automobile after stern sermon, on
immodesty and immortality, in the Ii
tusville Methodist Church.
The clergyman was on his way to
the railroad station here to take a
tain to New York, intending, accord
ing to his habit, to visit his sister in
Brooklyn. AS his car came in sight
jeers and yells arose from a knot of
men and women and others came run
ming to join them, some of them in the
bathing suits which inspired the pas
tors sermons.
For a moment the air was red with
tomatoes, which burst all over the au-
tomobile and its occupant. More dan
gerous missiles were used as we'll. A
stone shattered the windshield of the
car and another gashed the clergy
mans face. So dense was the crowd
that the car was brought to a halt.
Voice Drowned by Yells
The Rev Mr.. Kopfman, blood and
tomato juice streaming down his face,
took advantage of the enforced stop
to rise in his seat and declare his
principles again in the face of those
whom he denounced. His voice, shrill
