gIh1S far, it was said, the. operators

ana increase in miners wages is the
only compromise they will consider.

J9hn u. Lewis. president OF the
Euited Mine Workers, tonight de-
clared that, although the order to
oaasse operation of the bituminous and
anthracite mines is termed a sus-
pension, it is in reality a strike.
"The only differences in this case is
that we will not begin paying strike
bepefits--not just yet" he said.
I'VE are determined to continue the
strike until we have attained our

sary TO remain out more than few
weeks, but we prepared to keep the
mines closed indefinitely"

Publishers Claim
Snag Struck In
Wage Agreement
LRepublfcan A. p. Leased Wire1


NEW YORK, March 21.-Negotia-
tions between the American News
paper Publishers association and the
International Typographical union
for a new agreement on wages and
working conditions to replace the con-
tract which expires May /, have
struck snag, according TO a state
ment issued by the publishers to-
night.
The difficulty, the publishers say,
centers around certain 'inviolate
laws" OF the union, which the work :
ers have refused to arbitrate. Chief
of these is the time honored bogus
rule which requires that all adver-
tising matter set up outside the
newspaper plant shall be reproduced
in the plant of the newspaper within
four days of the date the matter a
pears in print.
This law" said the publishers
statement, requires that intelligent
men set type by hand and machine:
skilled men assemble the matter:
trained proof readers read it for err
rors and these errors are corrected
and after all this is done, no use be
made of the poduct OF their labor but
to throw it in the melting pot or dis
tribute it. The human effort. time
and money being utterly wasted.
This is one of the conditions which
the union seeks to perpetuate by a
refusal to consent that its justice be
passed on by an impartial arbitra-
ton"
Officials OF the union could not be
reached tonight but it was said at
local headquarters of No. 8 OF the
Typographical union that nothing was
known of a refusal to arbitrate the
bogus requirement in the present
negotiations.

To FOLLOW PROGRAM
OF THE ORGANIZERS
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel


CHICAGO, Mar. 21.-The basic
principles of the committee of II,
which outlined the plan under which
the United States Grain Growers,
Inc, was formed, should be retained
in the future conduct OF the organiza-
tion, officers of the grain growers
asserted today in opening the first
annual convention.
Both President c. II. Gustafson and
Secretary Frank M. Myers stressed
that the grain growers should follow
the program prepared by the organlz-
the committee, while Mr.. Gustafson.
in his welcoming address. told the
delegates that what you do at this
meeting will either make or break the
organization"
While declaring that the grain
growers had ample work to do with
out trying to become associated with
other cooperative organizations
cits," the president asserted that the
best form Of CO operation would con-
sist "of working separately on the de-
tails and problems that concern us
differently and then working whole
heartedly together on those problems
that are of mutual concern.
The nearly so delegates attending
the convention have the authority to
cast total Of 41,730 votes, represent
ing the membership on Jan. II Of this
year. Since that time, Mr.. Gustaf-
son said, the membership has in
creased TO more than $4,000.
The voting strength OF the states
represented follows:
Colorado, 804; Illinois, 10,251; In
diana, 1855; Iowa, S44s; Kansas, s4s;

Todays sessions largely were taken
up with organization work and with
the routine reports of committees
with most of the important questions
to come before the gathering remain
ing to be threshed out tomorrow.
Among questions on which lively
discussion was anticipated was the
pooling issue, but there was no indi-
cation in what form this would come
before the convention. The presi-
dents address, in which it was urged
that the organization follow out It's
original program, was taken as in
dicating opposition to any move to-
ward pooling or cooperation with
other marketing agencies based upon
the 100 per cent pool.
A bright picture of the future OF
the CO. operative marketing agency
was painted in the reports Of officers
and directors, with President Gustaf-
son announcing it was hoped to an
nounce soon that it was ready to re-
ceive grain from members. With
more than $4,000 growers and farmers
elevators signed, it was stated that
500, 600, 900 bushels of grain were un'
der contract for five-year period.
