accept the wage agreement made be-
tween Iowa coal operators and min
ers committees about two weeks ago
was reached today by the represent
attyes of the mefAn session here.
Representatives Of the miners
have been in session here for two
days considering the agreement, ann
a test vote taken late yesterday in
dicated strong sentiment against ac-
ceptance unless tonnage men were
given an increase with the others.
After John l.. Lewis president Of
the United Mine Workers OF Ameri.
ca. had spoken again, today urging
acceptance, a standing vote Of the
delegates on the question of accep-
tance was taken and showed 7s for
and against.
White Effects Change.
John r. White, representing the
international organization, was re-
sponsible to large extent for the
change in the sentiment following
the vote cast early yesterday after
noon. This vote resultedsin a defeat Of
the contract 135 to 108. Up to that
time White had advised the dele
gates to refuse the agreement on the
grounds that 1t might still be pos
sioie TO get moro money for the tom
mage laborers.
Seeing that the sentiment was d.
vided. White later changed his stand,
realizing that any further advances
could be secured only If the men
were united, and with him, the senti-
ment Of the delegation changed.
Thruout the two days meeting. !f
was primarily the fights of J. c..
Lewis against tremendous odds that
the delegates watched Lewis had
steadfastly urged ratification Of the
contract. altho, at the beginning of
the meeting and in the small rooms
adjoining the larger hall, Lewis
gradually won votes.
Shortage Not Due to Miners.
In a statement made here President
Lewis declared that the coal shortage
in various parts of the country is not
due to lack Of miners nor lack of
men, but because Of a shortage of
cars.
If we could get the cars we could
furnish all the coal the country needs
and plenty for export" he said. II
"The present high prices for coal
are due largely to the law Of supply
and demand, the meager supply being
caused by the poor distribution and
not by lack of workers."
Mr.. Lewis declared conditions are
not nearly so bad in Iowa however
as In the east where miners are
working only three or four days In.
a week since cars can not be had for
hauling the coal away.
The general prevalence Of warm
September weather has had a tend
ency to tighten up the domestic de.
mand for coal somewhat according
to reports here. Production in Iowa
should be better than normal this
winter with new mines opening in
various sections and some Of them
big mines. The slowing up in fac
tory work in some sections Is also re-
ported as having It's effect on the de-
mand for coal.
Nevertheless 1t Is anticipated that
the operators and dealers will have
hard time meeting their orders
when cold weather comes.
