COAL MINERS POSTPONE UNTIL
NEXT YEAR PROPOSED DEMANDS
Delegates Approve Reconnnen.
dations Of President Lewis
Who Urged Delay.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. Post
ponement until next February in the
framing OF coal miners wage demands
was voted today by the convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America.
IN doing so. the delegates overwhelm-
ingly approved the recommendations
of President John L. Lewis, who urged
the delay so as not to disclose the
expiration of present agreements with
operators.
Although there was no discussion Of
new demands. the delegates indicated
they favored strike. if necessary, to
obtain increases for they also approved
the report OF Vice President Murray
in which he declared in favor Of fight
ing for Improvement of contracts in
both anthracite and bituminous fields
that expire next March 81.
The delegates voted to raise approx
fmately 1880, 900 by special assess
ment of members Of the union, but in
doing so did not specify any purpose
for using the money.
Apparently alarmed by private adj
vices from the West Virginia strike
zone, the delegates afro directed that
an appeal be made to President Hard
ing for the protection of 1913 miners
who are prisoners in the Logan and.
Williamson county jails. President
Lewis appointed a committee to call
at the White House next week and in
doing this he declared: There is
ample reason to believe the lives Of
President Keeney of the West Vir-
ginia district and Secretary Fred
Mooney and others are in jeopardy"
Keeney and Mooney are among those
held on murder charges.
The convention also authorized
test case of the Kansas industrial
court act being prosecuted to the SUI
preme court. The attack on the court
probably will be by a suit to enjoin
the enforcement of the law creating it.
