MINERS FRAMING
THREATS TO STRIKE
Coal Wage Demands Will Be
Reinforced, Declares
Lewis.

| INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. ia wage
| Lollcy OF accepting no reductions OF
| wages for soft coal miners and demand
| ing increases for anthracite workers,
| backed up by a threat OF nationwide
strike on April l. will be adopted by the
United Mine Workers of America con-
vention, now in session here, by IAN
almost unanimous vote" of the delegates.
! according to statement issued tonight
by President John l.. Lewis.
The convention to-day stood still after
finally completing the work of seating
delegates. It's action. however. cleared
the way for roll call vote requiring all
of to-morrow's sessions, to decide
whether Alexander Howat and other ex-
PEELED Kansas miners will have an OPP
portunity to appeal to the convention for
their reinstatement In the union. Howats
supporters lost ground to-day, when they
were awakened TO the fact that anti
Howat delegates from Kansas had been
seated as delegates by convention action
asst Tuesday.
For two days the Kansas case has
blocked the convention, and Mr.. Lewis's
statement said the public should not
become anxious because of the delay in
reaching an approval Of the report OF
the wage scale committee" outlining the
unions policy.
There Is no question: declared Mr..
Lewis. but that the convention will by
an almost unanimous Vote adopt and
ratify the committees report. When
the scale demands have been ratified
and the public has taken the time to
study them ii will discover that the
miners are doing everything in their
power to be fair and to avoid any in
convenience to the coal consuming pub
lie of this country. We shall expect. as
matter OF course, that the operators
will be as fair with the public as we
are"
Informally Mr.. Lewis said he was
''mora impressed" with the possibility
of a settlement in the anthracite fields
than in the bituminous fields, where
no conference with operators has been
arranged. He expected a conference
with anthracite operators about April
An early conclusion OF the convention
was predicted by Mr.. Lewis. who sail
he did not expect 1t would be necessary
to postpone the miners conference with
the railroad unions, se- for next Tues
day in Chicago. In this connection, he
said the proposed alliance between the
miners and rail- workers was not in
tended as strilua nance, for he sail
he had no desire of bringing on "any
industrial catastrophe" The purpose
he said. was to ally the workers so that
group of employers could not "arbi.
trarily reduce wages without consider
ing the workers rights as to oerms."

periods In our history; from the eco

present decade may prove to be the most
momentous through which the nation

spread between producers prices and
consumers costs took place" Mr.
Howard said. These margins have
grown until the farmer has been
getting only 81 cents of the consumer Z
dollar. The farmer can't produce on
that; the trade margin must be mar

and even, at times. business greed have
entered in.
