MINERS DELAY ON
 SETTLEMENT PLAN
Only Alternative Was Disaster,
 Lewis Tells Them. = Presi- dents Proposal Predicated on Belief Both Parties Accept It.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Defend- ing the action of himself and Acting President John L. Lewis in agreeing to accept President Wilson's proposal for settlement of the soft coal miners strike, William Green, international secretary of the United Mine Work CTS, declared to the convention here the only alternative was disaster and defeat for the miners organization. i"
 "We could have whipped the coal operators, but we could not if we had wanted co whip the strongest govern ment on earth our government, which has just finished whipping Ger many.
 "If we had not accepted President Wilson's proposal of settlement, the powers of the federal government would have been turned loose on us with greater ferocity than anything we have ever seen," Green continued, "We knew we had reached the limit, he asserted, as the delegates, with wild applause and cheering, voiced ap- proval of what h said.
 "With every mining community in the country honeycomed with feder- al agents, gathering evidence against our men, our funds tied up and women and children freezing and facing star- vation, how in the name of God could we go on with the strike," Green con- tinued.
 Greens speech followed an attempt on the part of some of the delegates, led by Robert H. Harlin, president of the Washington miners, to defeat the purpose of the motion by Philip II. Murray of Pennsylvania to approve the action of the officers, by requir- ing the award which is to be made by the presidents commission to be submitted to referendum vote or a reconvened convention of the United Mine Workers.
 Secretary Green and Acting Presi- dent Lewis warned the delegation that to do otherwise than to accept the presidents proposal would not be keeping faith with the presidents and that the commission might not make any award if the min CTS should decide to reserve the right to a referendum on the commissions findings. Lewis ruled Harlin's amend ment out of order
