Washington. July so-President Will son, through the United Mine Workers of America, tonight appealed to striking mine laborers in Illinois and Indiana to return to work.
 Inequalities in the existing wage scale held by the strike leaders to be the cause of the walkout which has closed most of the bituminous mines in the two states-nay exist. the. president said. He added that he could not recommend cor rection of any inequalities until the strikers returned to their jobs but that when they did he would invite the joint scale committee of operators and miners to meet for the purpose of adjusting any such inequalities.
 The president issued his appeal in the form of telegram addressed to the Unit ed Mine Workers of America after he had studied a report on the coal situ- uation submitted by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 Reports of the strike of mine labor CTS, particularly in Illinois, the presi- dent said, had been received by him
 with feeling of regret and sorrow" He declared that he was distressed not only because failure at this time to mine coal nj accordance with the terms of the existing contract would result in suffer- ing during the coming winter but also because ''the violation of the terms of your solemn obligation impairs your good name, destroys the confidence which is the basis of all mutual agreement and threatens the very foundation of fair in dustrial relations"
 Pointing out that the United Mine Workers constituted the largest single la Dor organization in the world the pres ident said no organization could long endure that sets up it's own strength as being superior to its plighted faith or it's duty to society at large"
 The presidents telegram follows:
 Tt is with a feelingsof profound re- gret and sorrow that I have learned that many of the members of your organza- ton, particularly in the state of Illin- ois, have engaged in a strike in viola ton of the terms of the award of the Bi- luminous Coal Commission, and your agreement with the government that the findings of the commission would be ac- cepted by you as final and binding < am distressed. not only because your ac- tion in refusing to mine coal upon the terms which you had accepted may re- suit in great suffering in many house. holds during the coming winter and ir- terIere with the Continuation of indus trial and agricultural activity, which is the basis of the prosperity which you in common with the balance of our peo- pie have been enjoying. but also and what is of far more importance because the violation of the terms of your solemn obligation impairs your good name, de- stroys the confidence which is the basis of all mutual agreement, and threatens the very foundation of fair; industrial re- lations. No government, no employer. no person having any reputation to. pro- tect can afford to enter into scontractua I relation with any organization which systematically or repeatedly violates it's contracts.

 The commission is hut satisfied that the temporary rates herein authorized IS a proper rate or that it will produce the revenue needed and expected by the com pany, but it is permitted on the urgent request of the company as temporary and emergency rate
 .The commission is ot the opinion that if there is to be a return to the flat rate system, the general public would be better satisfied with a return to substantially tn cold fiat rate zones or fare limit. but it is now claimed by officers of the com pany that flat rate of seven cents on the old fiat rate area would not produce suf- fcient revenue.
