COAL STRIKE: To
Be CONTINUED
Farley Ends in Failure Min
ers Reject Arbitration, it
is Said

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-With
the miners insisting on the 1920
wage scale until April l, 1924, and
the operators unwilling to contract
for the old scale beyond April /,
1928, unless provision be made for
adjusting wages beyond that date,
the attempt to end the anthracite
strike has ended in failure.
The machinery for ending the
strike, the joint com mittee of oper-
ators appointed at the New York
City conference of March IS, re-
mains in existence, its functions sub
ject to the call of Secretary James
A. German, on resuest of either side,
but the prospects that it will be call
ed to meet much before October l is,
in the opinion of miners and opera
tors, decidedly slim.
Meantime those individuals and
industries of the Atlantic seaboard
dependent upon the hard coal mines
of Pennsylvania for fuel will have
to do without anthracite.
They will have to burn bitulnl-
nous" in the words of Samuel ID.
Warriner. spokesman for the opera
tors, who. in an informal statement,
placed the blame tor the break-up OF
tho conference, On the miners.
H. Sdlu ne, lutS0 men continue
to tie up the anthracite industry. the
responsibility is entirely theirs. In
ou~ efforts to secure settlement We
have gone further than any govern
ment official asked us to go: much
further than the President asked us
to 60"
Replying to this, John l.. Lewis,
spokesman for the miners, insisted
that responsibility rested with the
operators because they demanded
some form of arbitration as a con-
dit:on of any agreement.
"The 1855, 900. miners employed in
the anthracite fields" said he, after
declaring the plan of advisory arbi-
tration" submitted yesterday ana eX-
clusively reported in The World this
morning TO be identical with the
Canadian Labor Law and the Esch-
Cummins act, have no time or in
clination to indulge in further eX-
periments of this kind when their
powers OF observation reveal to
them the disastrous workings of ar
bitration elsewhere"
1T will, therefore, continue to be
100 per cent. strike, with the
pump and other maintenance n en-
at work so long as the companies
do not attempt to operate with non
union men,"
