SAY WON'T STAND
FOR REDUCTION
United Mine Workers Declare In Re-
cent Issue OF Journal That Wages
Must Not Be Cut.
Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1.-The
United Mine Workers of America will
not stand for any reduction in wages,
according to the December First issue
of the United Mine Workers Journal.
This policy is stated in connection
with a discussion Of the movement
among employers throughout the
country for reduction Of wages in
the various industries. In the arti-
Gle, John L. Lewis, international pres
ident of the miners union, is quoted
as follows:
"under no circumstances will VIC
permit any reduction in the wages Of
the mine workers of the country
There is not going to be any return
to pre-war wages or condition. Amy
reduction in wages is an economic
mistake, 1t never produces any good
results, What the mine workers have
today we are going to hold, and we
propose to continue to make progress
instead of going backward"
The Journal says in part: at is abb
solutely essential that the union have
definite and substantial policy and
that the membership shall stand be-
hind that policy In solid phalanx. And
the most essential element in that poll
icy for next two years must be that
there shall be no backward step. The
coal miners must not lose any of the
things that they have won through
sacrifice and struggle. 1t is well
known that there is in the country to-
day a well-defined, highly-financed
and ably-conducted movement on the
part of employers opposed to trade
unionism to break down the unions
and reduce the workers to the open
shop, low-wage system. This is one
Of the greatest dangers that now con-
front the labor movement.
"The policy Of the United Mine
Workers of America on that subject
has been made plain and clear to the
world by President John l.. Lewis. He
has said that there shah be no reduc-
ton in the wages Of the coal miners
of America,
"There Is the policy Of the United
Mine Workers. In making that state
ment, President Lewis told the world
what the United Mine Workers Of
America stand for. 1t is the unqual-
flied duty of every member of the un-
ion to stand firmly behind the inter-
national officials. TO stand back, to
hesitate or to fail to give the inter.
national officials full support and CO.
operation would be an indication OF
division"

|THRONEHUNGARY
las Been A Question OF Constant
Unrest And Trouble Since The
Wars End.

BUDAPEST, Dec. 1.-The question
ho will eventually occupy the throne
Hungary, has been a constant
burce of unrest and trouble, threat
ming sudden upheaval of the re-
emily attained peace and order.
The o-HapsSurgs declare that the
Ormer Emperor Charles is the real
ling Of Hungary that no one else
an legally aspire to the throne un-
u he abdicates. The Independent
iagyars, including large masses OF
be rural population, declare they will
lever surrender their recently-won in
dependence.
4 In addition there is a third group
bf politicians which is willing to Of
Ter the throne to any king who pro-
misses the restoration of Hungary's
lost provinces. To achieve this, they
would even consent to do homage to
the King of the Serbs or the Ruman-
Ians.
Much propaganda is being circulat-
ed in favor of the former Emperor
Charles or his eldest son, Prince ot-
20, and grave fears are expressed
That the ovef-zesious partisans OF
the Hapsburg dynasty may eventual
" succeed in compelling the country
70 accept royalist coup as an ac-
[complished fact. There is every In
Edieation that the followers Of Char
les are successful in their efforts 10
convince the country that the re-
|storstion of the Hapsburgs would I'M
prove Hungary's lamentable situa-
|tion.
In view Of the delicate balance
maintained between the various 1ac-
tions, the following statements are
| Important.
Admiral Horthy, the regent, re-
|esntly declared-"All parties may
rest assured that | shall not abuse
my powers for the satisfaction OF my
personal ambition. On the otner
hand,' he added, "no party VIII De
suffered to play pitch and toss WIZ
the Crown Of Saint Stephen. Thefe
must be no plots and conspiracies anu
everybody is to realize that for the
time being, it is in the interest oi
the country to put that delicate ma',
ter under prohibition"
The leader of the independent far
ner party, Stephen J. Kovacs' wn0
represents the traditional Magyar
hatred against Austria and the Haps'
burgs, has accused the pro-Chariists
