MINERS SCALE
MUST STAND
President Lewis Makes Definite
Announcement of the Organ
ization's Position.
TO RESIST ANY REDUCTION
Under the Present Scale a Majority
Of the Workers Are Declared to
Be Merely Earning SuffL
Gent for Existence.

Any attempts to reduce wages of
coal miners in the United States will
be resisted by the miners union, John
l.. Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, declared In an
nouncing such n policy had been APP
proved by the unions executive board.
The union miners, Ii was said, have
contracts at present wage scales that
continue until March 81, 1922.
Wage reductions proposed In Wash
ington, southwestern Kentucky and
tennessee, IL was said at union head
quarters, are regarded as a possible
forerunner of similar proposals
throughout the country. Mr.. Lewis
statement referred specifically to these
states, and added a general declara-
ton applying to the coal industry as
a whole.
"The United Mine Workers." said
Mr.. Lewis statement, has said from
the first that 1t would not permit wage
reductions, I'm view of the fact that a
great majority of the mine workers
are not making more than a living
wage, as 1t U.s."
Mines In Washington state. 1t was
said, have shut down because of the
miners refusal to accept reductions
to the wage level of Oct. 81, 1919, or
approximately 20 per cent. Assurance
has been given the Washington miners
that the union would support them
In resisting any reduction. This posi-
tion of the officers, 1t was announced
was approved unanimously by the
unions executive board.

KILLING OF AMERICAN OFFICER
BRINGS PRoFUSE REGRETS
FROM JAPAN.
AFFAIR PROBABLY CLOSED
Japanese Sentry Who Shot Lieutenant
Lanadon to Death Said to Be ic-
Notwithstanding Not to
Be Challenged.

| Washington.-Notif that the
! Japanese commanding officer at Via
divostok has given orders that here
after sentries must not challenge
Americans, and the formal expression
Of regret by the Japanese government
went far towards adjusting the situa-
ton which has arisen over the fatal
| shooting by a Japanese soldier at that
port Of Lieut. w. H. Langdon, Of the
cruiser Albany.
The action of the Vladivostok com
mander, Gen. Oh, was reported to the
Navy Department by Admiral Gleaves,
commander-in-chief of the Asiatic
fleet, who was on his way to Vladi-
vostok TO conduct a personal investi-
cation. The admiral added that the
report had been sent TO him by radio
and that in view of developments he
had abandoned his trip OF inquiry.
Ambassador Shidehara of Japan.
called upon Acting Secretary of State
Davis and expressed the deep regret
of his government that such an Incl
dent should have occurred. Earlier
he had received from the Japanese
foreign office a version of the shoot
ing which differed from an earlier and
official version issued in Toxic in that
the embassy's account agreed with
Lieut.. Langdons ante-mortem state
ment that the sentry was the first to
fire
The attitude of the Japanese gov,
eminent was also indicated in the
communication to Admiral Gleaves,
which said that high officials OF the
Japanese force had expressed their
sorrow and regret. Among those
mentioned was Vice Admiral Kawa-
hara
The sentry who shot the American
when he was returning to his ship,
was characterized in the communica-
tion forwarded to Admiral Gleaves as
very ignorant" and in one of the
messages received by Ambassador
Shidehara it was stated he already
would be tried by court-martiaI.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
had called upon Admiral Gleaves for
a report, conferred with Secretary
Davis in an effort to expedite so far
as possible the gathering of the facts
in the case. The latter Immediately
instructed Consul MCGOWAN, from
the first official news of the incident
had come, to supplement his report
and declared that if the facts warrant.
ed an immediate and energetic protest
would be made to Japan. Later de-
velopments, however, are understood
to have inclined officials to believe
that the situation is in prospect OF
final adjustment.
