INDIANAPOLIS, July Ex-Governor
McCray to-day announced that he ex-
poets to see coal mined in Indiana
within ten days. He appointed the
Public Serice Commission az state
coal emergency committee to distribute
coal and cars. The Governor received
a telegram from John Hessler, presi-
dent Of district No. II, United Mine
miners chief said that the district
board would meet Monday and consider
the Governors request that Hessler
issue permits to enough striking
miners for coal to be mined sufficient
to meet the needs Of public institutions
and utilities.
The Governors plans for getting out
coal, however. were not based on any
expectancy from the union meeting
Monday. The Governor said he pro-
poses there shall be no profiteering in
coal prices. The Governor, in part,
said:
Emergency in Acute Stage
"The fuel emergency has reached
such an acute stage that, as Governor
of the state, l realize the time mas
arrived for executive action, not only
in the matter of production, but also
~ fully expect to see coal mined in
tho State of Indiana within ten days IN
sufficient quantities to take care OF the
pressing needs Of the state institutions
and other imperative demands"
The Governor believes he has sutfi-
cient authority to mine coal in the
name of the state, but he said If It
becomes necessary he would not nesi-
tate to convene the General Assembly
to provide unquestioned authority
All those problems the Governor has
been going over with U. S. Lesh, At
torney General; Harry B. Smith, ad-
jutant general, and others and has a
definite program set up, although de-
tails necessarily have been withheld
from the public pending the result OF
negotiations.
1t was understood at the State House,
without any" announcement, however,
that state production of coal would not
be delayed to convene the Legislature
An assertion by Hessler that the
Indiana operators were violating their
contract with the miners by refusing
to meet in interstate joint conference
in the central competitive field, made
in telegram to Governor MeCray TO-
day, "is only continuation Of their
the mine workers brazen deceitfu'
policy" said Alfred M. Cgle, OF Terre
Haute, president of the National Coal
Association, In statement issued after
Governor MeCray had made public the
telegram from Hessler.
MrOgle asserted that the miners
themselves had repudiated the joint
conference plan. He said there had
been more than eight hundred strikes
in Indiana in the last two years in
"fagrant disregard of contract" He
reiterated that the operators, both
anthracite and bitum1nous, are in
favor of the appointment of the fact,
finding commission by the President
for a full investigation of the coal in
dustry. He asserted that the miners
are opposed to THIS plan.

First agreement Signed
Opens Southern Mines

CHICAGO, July 20 (By The
Associated Press) .-The first
agreement between coal miners
unions and the operators since
the beginning Of the strike will
result in the resumption of min
ing in three small fields controlled
by the Kentucky Tennessee Coal
Operators Association.
The mines employ about five
thousand men in the Pineville
district along the Tennessee Gen.
tral Railway, near Nashville.
Miners and operators of the
Middlesboro, Ky, district, expect
to meet on Tuesday to sign a SINH
lar compact.
There was no immediate sign
Of agreement in the chief produc-
ing districts although union lead
ers insisted that plans were going
forward for a general peace con-
ference.

to have enough tonnage represented by
operators in a joint interstate confer
ence to effect an agreement on a basic
wage scale. The call for the confer
ence, said Lewis, will be issued this
week, the exact date being uncertain.
Farringt0n, who is head of faction
of the United Mine Workers that has
been tothersome to the Lewis following.
apparently came here to-day with war
on his mind. When asked whether he
had been "summ moned" by Lewis his
language was vehement as he insisted
he came to find out what all this peace
talk is about" At adjournment he
smilingly replied to questions that
Lewis would do all the talking.
Harrington had shown indications of
breaking away from the agreement by
calling a meeting Of his men to dis
cuss making separate agreement. He
subsequently withdrew the call and
came here to meet Lewis and the other
officers.
"The miners of Illinois will go along
with the miners of the other states

Both Sides to Take Up
Harding's Terms Tuesday
Strike May End This Week if
Conferences in Chicago Can
Agree on Seniority Rights
Agree on Seniority Rtgh

CHICAGO, July 29.-Spccial action
is expected on President Harding's
plan fer recognition Of the seniority
rights of the railway shopmen now at
work at meetings OF both railway
heads and representatives. of the work
ers here Tuesday. Union chiefs will
answer the call sent out by B. NJ.
Jewell, leader of the shopworkers' or
CARNATIONS, to ninety general chair
men, comprising the national agree
nent executive board. Notice for a
meeting Tuesday was also sent out by
Timothy Healy, head of the stationary
fremen's and oilers union, which or
dered strike Of 5000 men week
after the shopinen's walkout. If ar
agreement can be reached at these and
the carriers meeting it is believed in
railway circles here that the strike
will not last it's fifth week,
Under the plan, as outlined, the
Presidents stand for recognition of
the rights of the men now at work
would be carried out Union shopmen
who did not strike would be placed
at the head of the seniority lists, which
means that they would be assured per
manent work, since In slack times the
! workers at the foot of the lists are the
first laid off.
Union shopmen who struck would be
placed next, and after them the men
hired since the strike began. No men
tion was made Of pension rights, and
| it was not learned whether this cues
| ton had been included in the Presi-
dents plan. If pension rights should
not be restored workers who have been
in the service of their employers for
years would forfeit the benefits al
| lowed, which give workers the privilege
of retiring after a certain number of
years with continuance of a percent
age of their pay.
| ent that men now at work should be
placed at the head of the seniority
lists, asserting that IF their rights were
not thus recognized there would be no
incentive for men to remain at work
in the event of another strike.
CHICAGO, July 20 (By The Associ-
atea Press Both freight and pas
senger traffic OH Western lines having
headquarters in Chicago are practi-
caily unaffected by the shopmen's
| strike, said. a statement issued tonight
by the Western Presidents Committee
of Railway Executives. More than
were employed this week.
"Freight traffic demands are being
met currently and passenger trains are
being operated normally with but
slight delays said the statement. cali
roads report increases in the number
of men at work in their shops, the
total increase since July "a on all
Western roads being 1859 shopmen."
The Santa Fe system was said to
have 10.g01 men at work, Or approx.
mately 81 per cent Of the normal force
and the Illinois Central reported 1o,4Oz
men working in its shops as compared
with 1901 on the day before the be
ginning Of the strike on July /.
Hale Holden, president of the Bur
| lington road, in a statement said that
Sine progress" was being made in re-
cruiting new shop force, which, he
added, now includes $50 men, oi
whom 1858 have been added during
the strike.
New-York tribune., 1922-07-30
Restoration OF Seniority
attacked by Rail Head
Roads Cannot Be Faith7ess to
Neso Men, Says III. A. Worces-
fer. Big Four Tice-presideus

CINCINNATI, July 29.-The proposed
plan for settlement of the nationwide
railroad strike was attacked to-day by
y. A. Worcester, vice president of the
Big Four Railroad system, who de-
tlared that if the striking shopmen
we're granted seniority it would mean
hat the railway executives had "lied"
% the new men when they were en-
aged to fill the places of the striking
,hopmen.
Mr.. Worcester declared that ito
xrant seniority to the striking shop
men who left their jobs July / means
shat the new men who have been en-
gagged 10 take their places and have
been promised permanent Jobs will
have to be turned out"
MIR, Worcester's statement said, in
part:
at will be remembered that official
consideration to the new employees
taking the places of the striking shop
men was sanctioned by both the United
States Labor Board and the Admins
tration in Washington
"lf the strikers go back to their
work with their seniority and standing
Ye-established it would be difficult, if
not Impossible, to secure outside hclp
in case Of another strike, as any prom
ises made by the railway executives
naturally would be laughed at. To
take back all the old strikers and re-
tslh the new employees is quite out OF
the question"
New-York tribune., 1922-07-30
RAJ! Wages Above Those
En- Industry, Says Board

The National Industrial Conference
Board issued a statement from it's
Offices here yesterday declaring that
the hourly wages to be paid to the
railroad shopmen under the new scale
effective July I are 25 per cent high
ser than those in industry, and chat
the average weekly earnings on the
carriers are 80 per cent higher. On
January /, 1922, the pay Of skilled
labor in foundries and machine shops
not connected with the carriers was
b6.1 cents an hour according to a
survey made by the board covering
l,3S8 plants employing 388,560 men, or
78 per cent of all wage earners Of this
class listed by the government census
Of manufactures.
The statement further points out
that in 1915 there was q difference OF
less than ! cent between the pay scale
in the railroad shops and those in in
dustry, and that there is q further ad
vantage on the carriers ii that the
average working week elsewhere is
447 hours, making a weekly wage OF
$26.0e, whereas on the roads The aver
age is 48.06 hours, giving q weekly
total of $23.67.
The central strike committee here
replied that the board is nothing but
a propaganda bureau for the open-shop
interests, ed that its report is gross
ly misleading. They declared that
wages for industrial mechanics have
risen since January and that since
1914 the wages of blacksmiths, boiler
makers and machinists in the carriers
shops have risen in proportion to those
in Industry. The gain for the shop
men was aseribed to the inclusion Of
the railway carmen among those in
the Mecanical classifcatinns
