Another Lewis characteristic is
that he is always open to convic-

his mind must have an argument

notices to fully inform himself on
any subject before he announces a

BY these simple methods has
John L. Lewis, president a. the
Mine Workers Of America, risen
from humble beginnings to Z posi-
tion Of great influence.
Many expect that the mantle Of
Sam Gompefs will fall upon Lewis
when the present head Of the A. r.
Of L. decides to retire.
Attending the public schools In
= small town In Iowa and then toll
ing In the mines alongside his faith
er is not particularly an auspicious
beginning for . man who expects
to be called upon to match his in
tel1igence with men who have had
every opportunity.
The first thing he did was. to
supplement his public school edu-
cation with intensive study ON spe-
cialized subjects. particularly eco
nomics. Then he Travelled extern
sively through western and south
western states, working in coal and
metalliferous mines but at the
same time taking another intensive
course in the university Of expert
ence.
Since then he has gone whistling
and singing through many prob
!ems. He is now II years old.
In November, 1919, represents
tfves Of the coal miners at Indian
apolis conferred for 20 hours with
out cessation. They faced a man
datory order from the government
to cancel the general strike within
~ hours.
Winter was approaching, the coal
supply small and conditions ideal
for a strike.
But after the long grinding ses-
sion, Lewis made this announce
ment:
Gentlemen, we will obey the
mandate of the court We do
SO under protest We are
Americans. We cannot fight
our government.
1t was an announcement of few
words, but it undoubtedly had much
to do with the comfort of q great
nation.
Often while debate raged-and
ragged is the word-inside the SEES
sion room, Lewis walked briskly
up and down the corridor, his eyes
cast downward. Now and then he
would throw back his head like q
boy emerging from q swimming
pool, thus shaking back into place
the mass of sandy hair which falls
down over his forehead.
1t was noticed that Lewis was
not at any time laboring under any
excitement. He was greatly con-
cerned, he was working hard, but
was perfectly cool.
Men long associated with Lewis

He turns out an amazing lot of
work. 1t is not uncommon for him
to spend the entire day at his Of
flee meeting and talking to callers
and then turn his attention to rou-
tine Office work until the small
hours of the morning.
When he is concentrating on
some problem he walks the floor
and whistles or sings. Often he
huns some old tune familiar to
him in the mines. -.

eventually.
Nevertheless it is q fact-and
this is the important thing that is
developing here-that President
Harding and Secretary Hughes are
determined to avoid even implica-
tons of the Wilson policy and they
are confident that in everything
done thus far they have been sue
cessful In heWing to the line Of
strictly American as opposed to
strictly European interests.
Mr.. Hughes has said in effect
that Ambassador Harvey will sit in
the supreme council meetings as
the personal representative of the
United States. The other represen-
tatives-Ambassador Herrick at

OF ambassadors, and Mr.. Boyden,
who will be present at the meetings
OF the reparations commission
Will be unofficial observers or re-
porters. But Ambassador Harvey

1t is an explanation Of just what
that phrase take part" means
which is just coming to the surface.
Colonel Harvey himself has the big

to an American citizen abroad with
the possible exception of Wood

representatives at the supreme
