WILSON DUE

Sick Man Of White House
Expected to Announce
Candidacy Aft er Vetoing
Knox Peace Bill.
Especial United Press Wire J


washington, March 24.--lt is be-
lieyed President Wilson will veto the
Knox resolution declaring a state of
peace with Germany or any other
measure that congress may pass in
its effort to affect peace without
ratification OF the Versailles treaty,
it was learned
The president is standing pat on
the Versailles treaty or nothing. His
only concessions will be the ncgotia
tion Of 'modus vivendi" agreements
with the allies and Germany to pre-
serve American rights under the Ner-
sailes treaty until the voters express
their opinions on the matter in the
presidential elections
No move is expected from the
Whteholse until congress has acted
on the Knox resolution. The presi-
dent, it is believed, desires first to
veto the measure then to announce
that the treaty fight will be carried
into the campaign. Whether this
will be followed by the announce
ment Of his own candidacy for a third
term is problematical, and depends
largely upon the advice of his per-
sonal physician, DR.. Grayson.

MAKE REPORTS PUBLIC.


Washington, March 24.-The
Whitehouse made public yesterday
afternoon both the majority and mi
nority reports of the bituminous
coal commission which adjourned re-
Gently after long hearings on the coal
wage controversy. a
The majority report retains the
S-hour day. The minority report,
agrees to retain the S-hour day for
a year, but declares for reduction
of the hours thereafter The miners
in the original demands asked for
the 6-hour day, and the 5-day week,
but later modified this to a 7-hour
day.
Both reports agree the contracts
between the miners and operators
should terminate in the spring.
Both reports provide a tribunal for
the settlement of future disputes in
the coal mining industry. The ma
mission shall be selected by the
miners and the operators jointly.
In addition to the wage recommen-
dations the majority report recon-
mends the storage of a minimum Of
three months coal supply by July /
of each year by the federal govern
ment, the public utilities and domes-
tic consumers.
Wage advances are recommended
in the award of approximately 81
per cent, including the increase Of
IA per cent granted by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield during the recent
strike.
Another important recommended
tion in both reports is that many OF
the mines now operating will close
down due to the coal industry being
'speculatively over-developed."

GETTING YOURS YET9

The real standard of wages is not
measured by the number OF dollars
contained in the pay envelope, but by
the amount and kind of commodities
the dollars will buy.
Harold N. Lawrie is the expert whose
calculations have been used as the basis
of the American Mining congress, and
he is regarded as competent authority
on the statistics of modern economies.
In a statement made to the congress OF
the United States concerning the cost OF
living. Mr.. Lawrie computes the pres
ent purchasing power of dollar, as
compared with 1913, at just ass cents.
That is, in 1918, one could purchase
for ASS cents as much of the neces-
saries of life as now cost 81, and what
then cost 81 now cost $3.50. This
means that if a man, received wages OF
SIS per week in 1913, to be able to pur-
chase the same quantity and quality OF
merchandise today be must receive
$3.50 per week or, if he then received
$40 per week, his wages at present
should be $40 per week.
How many wage-earrers today are
getting 1900 more money than they
did in 1913? Yet every one who is
not is working for less than the actual
CONDENSATION he received in 1918.

MILLION WORKERS
TO Be INVOLVED in
STRIKES IN 1920
Statistics However Show Big
Decrease From Last
Year.

Washingtons April o-Approximate.
ly 100000 workers will be affected by
strikes, lockouts and wage controversies
during 1920, it is estimated here on the
basis of labor department records. The
records show that in the fiscal year end
ed in June, 1919, approximately $780,
900 workers were involved in strikes,
lockouts and controversies referred to
it for settlement.
No reports are obtainable on'the loss
es of employers and the extent of the
decrease in production resulting from
strikes.
In, 1919 however, 68 per cent. of the
cases referred to the labor department
for settlement were still in the contro-
versy stage and had not developed into
strikes or lockouts. These were adj
justed peacefully. But the cases re-
ferred to the labor department for adj
justment represented only small per-
centage of the actual number of strikes,
officials explained. Thus the steel strike,
which is claimed to have made idle
100000 men, does not figure in the labor
department records.
Neither does the coal strike, although
Secretary Wilson personally took a
hand in it,
Evidences are abundant that with the
coming of spring. the workers in all
parts of the country are turning their
attention to wage scales.
In many cities building workers and
machinists already have opened nego-
tiations for wage increases. Building
mechanics in most cities now receive 81
an hour. In few cities demands have
been presented for increases ranging
from $125 to $1.50.
But / believe there will be fewer
strikes in the building trades this year
than last" said Secretary Berries of the
Building Trades section of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
According to Berries approximately
10000 building workmen are organ
lied and affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
Organized machinists hold the key to
operations in many factories in all sec
tions of the country. They number
nearly 100000 workers, according to
officials here A strike of machinists
often forces the closing of factory
and the idleness of other classes of en-
ployes.

BOY, PAGE PALMER.
Maybe He's Got Another Injunc-
ton Excuse Ready.

According to the daily press, At
torney General Palmer does not now
claim that he secured an injunction
against striking coal miners ito main
tain the supremacy of the law" His
latest story is that the injunction was
used to force arrogant labor" to give a
hearing to capital. 1t would appear
that the coal owners pleaded with the
miners to discuss matters and thereby
avoid a strike, but the naughty miners
refused. Hence the injunction.
Mr.. Palmer expressed this thought at
mass meeting held under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce at Rich
mond. Admittance to the meeting was
by card The speaker had a good word
for verybody-including radicals that
have heretofore been condemned He
notified business that wages cannot be
reduced, because workers have not yet
gotten to the point where they are re-
ceiving their fair share.
He insisted that he is a champion
of labor, and said that when he was a
college boy, 80 years ago, he wrote a
thesis on capital and labor in which he
had taken the part of the under-dog.
Thirty years later" he said, when
| took the coal strike injunction to In
dianapolis, l found myself demanding
of labor hearing for capital. This
hearing was refused. The arrogance of
capital has been broken and the arro-
game of labor must be curbed."
