Presidents Defiance
to Inslrgent Miners

President Wilson, in his letter to
the insurgent miners, accepts their
challenge as follows:
"1f your communication, declar-
ing your intention to refrain from
working unless l set aside the award
Of the anthracite coal commission on
Or before September 1, 1920, is in
tended as a threat, you can be as
sured that your challenge will be ac-
cepted and that the people of the
United States will find some sub
stitute fuel to tide them over until
he real sentiment of the anthracite
nine workers can find expression and
they are ready to abide by the obli-
cations they have entered into.
You are, therefore, advised that
cannot and will not set aside the
judgment Of the commission, and I
shall expect the anthracite mine
workers to accept the award and
carry it into effect in good faith"
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-08-31

10 this grievance, much dissatisfaction
over the award bf the anthracite coal
commission, whose majority report was
accepted BY President Wilson yester-
day. There Is more or less restlessness
and a feeling that the verdict Is insult
cient though Il carries total increase
20 the anthracite miners OF something
like s1o3, 900, 900, Of which S1S,-
OOO, 900 Is back pay, the award being
retroactive to April I, 1920,
Last night a call was issued by j.
NJ. Mack, secretary Of District No. 1
Of the United Mine Workers, for q
meeting in Scranton on Thursday OF
the general scale committees of the
iority and minority reports of the an :
thracite coal commission will then be
discussed.
Tomorrow a meeting has been called
for Hazleton to discuss the advisability
of asking the President to reopen the
award. Members Of the district scale
committees will attend.
There is a belief that President Will
son will be willing to do most anything
to avert even a partial strike in the an
tSracite field at this time. 1t would be
distinctly bad for his party. and II is
not improbable that the commission's
award may be revived, some more
hearings granted, and solution of the
problem sought in way that will save
the face of the administration.
The personal element, as II looms up
| in this crisis, presents another angle.
At the last election for officers of the
| United Mine Workers in this district
there was bitter and acrimonious
struggle between Dnoch Williams and
John r. Dempsey for president. Demp-
sey won. Fraud was charged by the
Williams men and ever since there has
been q sort Of feud between the two
men.
Rinaldo Cappalini Is an Americanized
| italian Of considerable influence among
| the miners around Pittston. Last fall,
while still in the employ of the Penn
sylvania Coal Co. at Pittston, he en-
tered politics as a candidate for town
shin commissioner. He was opposed by
all of the contract miners. but won out.
He has charged that his unsuccessful
opponent subsequently secured his dis
charge by the Pennsylvania Coal Co
This has been one Of the causes Of his
antagonism to contract mining and has
| doubtless led him to take an active part
in the Pittston strike. He was one oi
the four men, Enoch Williams being
another, who signed the telegram Il
President Wilson notifying him unless
he accepted the minority report of the
coal commission, which awarded tht
men a 81 per cent increase, the miners
would strike.
Cappalini has large following
among the foreign miners, the Italians
especially, and he is to figure largely al
the meeting Of the insurgents in this
city tomorrow. At that meeting it will
be decided whether or not an outlaw
strike will be declared. President vii.
son having accepted the majority re.
port Of the coal commission, will likely
come in for some polyglot pounding.
| AS to how all this affects the price
Of coal to the householders of Philadel
phia is another story; how it is thai
every time there is a threatened strik,
or demand for higher wages for tn,
anthracite miners, the retail price o.
coal in Philadelphia gets boost" j.
another tale 10 be told.
