New York, March 1s.-Steps to pre- vent possible suspension of work in the hard coal fields on April l was taken today by the subcommittee of miners and operators appointed to ar range new wage agreement for the anthracite coal miners. The commit tee decided to break precedent and continue it's deliberations tomorrow and Monday instead of taking the usual week end adjournment.
 In explaining the committees action, Phil Murray, international vice presi- dent of the United Mine Workers, de- clared every effort would be made to reach an agreement between now and March 3I. when the present contract expires.
 We have contract to make and we are going to make it before the present agreement expires, if possi- ble, and prevent any possibility Of there being. suspension of work, ;, he said. Il,
 The operators at today's- conference asked that the miners remain at work after April 1, if an agreement cannot
 be reached at that time. They were
 informed by the miners representa-
 tives that this might be possible if any
 wage increase obtained in the nego- tiations would be made retroactive to that date The matter was dropped without further debate. it was stat ed, and action at the present time de- ferred.
 Comparative figures showing that anthracite miners are paid less than bituminous coal diggers were intro duced today by the workers. These 1 figures indicated that the hard coal day workers, who comprise about "A | per cent of all the men employed in 1 the anthracite region, received IS rio l per cent less pay than miners doing 1 similar work in the soft coal fields. | The date, the miners said, also show ed that contract workers of the hard coal field were paid a scale. equivalent 10 the wage received by the pick and machine men in the bituminous l mines.
 The workers declared that the day 1 men will have to receive at least ar 1 increase of IS 7-10 per cent. more thar | any wage award made to the bitu- l minous miners. They also contendeC 1 that, ass the contract workers in tht 1 anthracite mines are highly skilled l workmen, they should receive highel 1 wage than that paid the soft coal picl 1 workers.

 He suggested three remedies that surpass all others in effectiveness Freedom of speech; supplying of citi- zens with 'incorruptible channels of information"-"a government bulletin, not newspaper" and faith in the in telligence and capacity of the people. revolution in the United States"
 If the peoples will is obstructed, the force that accumulates behind the barrier is the guaranty that it will be removed" he said. If temporary damage is done in the transition from the abnormal condition. caused by the obstruction, to the normal condition of progress, the blame is not upon those who remove the letters placed upon the peoples will, but upon those who are foolish enough to deny the right of the people to have what they want in government.
 We can better understand the po- i litical situation which we have to meet i today if we bear in mind three propo- 1 sitions:
 First, that greed and selhshness are always attempting to obstruct human i progress.
 Second, that the sooner an obstruc- l tion to the public will is removed, the
 better for all concerned.
 Third, right always triumphs in the 1 end
 lust now the world is recovering fro'l the most destructive war known l to history. God grant thatthe lessons i learEed in the awful conflict may never be forgotten.
 Ii 'We have learned at least one les
 son namely, that 1t is mistake to
 require a two-t thirds vote to ratify a
 treaty. A majority of congress can
 declare war; it ought to be easy to
 end Wal as to begin it.
 The league of nations, with our na-
 tion :. member, is the highest tribunal
