MINERS WILLING
TO TAKE UP PICKS
Condition Is That Wage
Award Issue Is ReOpened.

wILKEsBARRE Pa, SEPT. 9.-Insur-
gent anthracite coal miners who have de-
fed their union leaders. spurned the ten
der of IT per cent wage increase and
disorganized the hard coal felda, today
were ready TO go back to work Il guar
anteed that the wage award issue viii be
reopened.
Enoch williams. the wiry 100 pound
middle aged insurgent leader. admitted
as much. but we can't and won't live on
promises" said Williams. I'VE must
have more money. The award was un-
fair"
Local opinion backs up the miners con-
tention the award was insufficient, but
that since the union leaders accepted 1t,
the men should first return to work be-
fore the question is reopened.
In district one, the fields about Wilkes
barre, where the insurgent movement be-
gan and where the miners are 80 per
cent unionized, a majority OF the work
ers were back today, operators declared.
Rut reports from Scranton, Pottsvllle
and Hazeltou today showed the t1eup In
districts seven and nine, which are luo
per cent unionized continued.
In districts and union leaders are
declared to be In sympathy with the
workmen continuing on strike.
In district 1 the union leaders are urg'
ing the man TO go back to work.
Conversation with individual miners
reveals they are disgruntled chiefly be-
cause they are paid less than miners in
the soft coal fields.
Anthracite field miners declare they are
more skilled and endure more hazards
than the bitumInous miners.

European countries win then go to

of war debts to us will be paid.
"a separate peace, bringing US into
association with Turkey, Russia, Ger
many and Mexico, the only great pow
ers not now in the league of nations" {"
Gov. Cox said, ''is inconce1vable, but we
should join with the thirty seven ma
tions already in the league, so that with
all the nations Of the earth we may re-
establish social, humanitarian and busi-
ness relations with the world
cox PLEASED WITH
RECEPTION IN WEST.
More pleased than ever with the re-
ception he is receiving in Montana, Gov.
Cox left here this afternoon for the
great industrial districts of Butte and
Anaconda. convinced that he has practi-
cally won the electoral vote of the state.
He plans in his speech here this eve
ming, paying particular attention TO in
dustrial problems, laying emphasis on
his labor record in Ohio and what he
calls his general progressivism in gov
ernment."
He believes the miners of Montana will
never support Senator Harding on ac-
count of his "reactfonary record and
he thinks a review of the Ohio work
mems compensation law, mothers pen
sion law, and a farceful reiteration OF
the fact that as governor Of Ohio, be
never used a soldier in any industrial
dispute, will do much to strengthen the
democratic ticket among them.
State democratic leaders have assured
the governor that a majority Of the So
called labor league. as well as the non
partisan league, will vote the Cox Roose-
yclt ticket.
Il don't know what so-called radical
movements there are In Montana" said
Gov. Cox. "but do know that wherever
they spring up abuse Dy those in power
is usually the cause.
"Some people believe radiealism should
be hit on the head with a club, martyr
lied as It were.
THAT isn't my plan.
Il believe government should be made
so fair that radicalism cannot live.
AS I told a farmer In North Dakota
II the corn Is not cultivated weeds will
spring up and they may choke out the
corn.
The same applies to government and
radicalism."

An official bulletin said the condition
Of MacSwiney was unchanged.
whether Premier Lloyd George will
modify his Irish policy and release Mac
Swiney and possibly the other Irish hun
ger strikers is not certain.
The Daily Chronicle quoted the premier
as saying:
II have watched the MaeSwiney case
with pain. but It must not be allowed
to obscure our duty. We have positive
proof that MacSwiney's brigade-the so
called Irish army-was concerned In the
murder of policemen in Ireland. We
must either hand over all OF south Ire
land to something calling Itself the re-
publican army or protect the men who
are defending the flag
The hopes which the MaeSwiney family
based on Premier Lloyd Georges return
have not been justified.
So far the premier has taken no direct
steps toward the release OF the lord
mayor Of Cork.
II is understood, however. that the pre-
mier has been In consultation with other
members Of the government since his re-
turn aud an official pronouncement,
setting forth the attitude or the govern
ment, may come at any time.

ciples Of Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster
unionist leador-have gained domination

strikers are 10 be permitted 20 Gle ac-
cording 10 a report current In official

Sir Nevil MaeReady, commander Of the
British forces in Ireland, and A. Bopar
Law, slgned a communication rejecting
the appeal Of High sheriff Barry Of
Cork for clemency for the irish hunger
strikers in the Cork jail
II was reported that SIR Hamar Green
wood had notified the premier that. un-
less he signed the document. no guar
aniee could be given for the continu-
alton in office OF any Of the present
Irish officials.

turtle tanks great amphibious mon
sters capable of operating equally
well on land as in the water.
They counted thus on taking the
German positions by surprise, send
