Mr.. Lewis is presiding at the hard
coal miners convention which will
formulate wage and other demands to
be presented to the coal operators
before March 81, when the present
contract expires. Wage agreements
in the soft coal fields expire about
the same time. Predictions have
been made by hard coal miners that
instead OF agreeing to a wage re-
duction, the anthracite men will de-
mand increases among other things.
A representative OF the general
committee Of anthracite operators
gave out a statement that 'full-time
operations of the anthracite mines
on the scale heretofore maintained
will not be possible in the coming
year without adjustments which will
permit reducing the price to the con-
sumer."
"The conclusion is unavoidable"
the statement said, that full time
production cannot be maintained un-
til wages are reduced"
Mr.. Lewis said that the talk Of re-
ducing the wages OF men in the In
dustry, who are now enduring the
privations Of poverty and destitution,
'is idle"
"The minds of the business men
and statesmen OF America" he con-
tinued, must devise some other
method of correcting the evils in the
bituminous mining industry.

in the bituminous coal fields. but in

ers that wage reductions have taken
place in other industries, and Il
makes no difference to the organized
mine workers that the men employed
in the non union sections have ac-
cepted wage reductions. We do not
propose to have our standards OF 1iv-
ing gauged by the standards of liv-s
ing which obtain among these be-
nighted, unfortunate people who ara
compelled TO work for unorganized
mining employers.
I'VE see an organized propaganda
being carried on. particularly in the
bituminous regions, anticipating a
wage reduction It is sought to make
the mine workers responsible for the
price OF coal and the mine worker
is not responsible for the price that
the public pays for coal. The mire
workers receive but relatively small
proportion OF the price the public is
compelled to pay"
The mine workers do not desire any
cessation OF employment after April
!, he said, and If there is no wage
conference, he added, the RESPONSE
bility will not rest with the union.
THE mine workers want no indus
