REJECTION Is INTIMATED

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. ] ASSOCIATED
Press) The following telegram was
sent to-day to the operating interests
in the central competitive field. which
includes western Pennsylvania. Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois:
"In behalf of the United Mine
Workers. : am. herewith, inviting the
coal operators of the central compe-
titive field to meet In joint interstate
conference at the Hollenden Hotel
Cleveland, Ohio. at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
Monday, August 7. 1922. for the pur-
pose Of negotiating a basic wage
agreement designed to terminate the
present suspension in the mining in
dustry. I express the sincere hope
that the interests represented by You
will find it possible to participate in
the joint negotiations.
JOHN l.. LEWIS,
president. United Mine Workers OF
America
In connection with the call for the
interstate conference, Lewis gave out
the following statement:
"In issuing an invitation to the coal
operators OF the central competitive field
to assemble in joint conference In Cleve-
land on August T. am actuated by
the highest considerations OF public well
fare and the impelling necessity for an
early adjudication of the issues involved
in the bituminous and anthracite coal
fields.
Penalties Exacted From All.
This strike, unparalleled In its mag
nitude Is now In its eighteenth week
and constitutes an industrial convulsion
which menaces the financial and social
fabric OF our nation. Aside from the
tremendous personal sacrifices so bravely
endured by the mine workers. the strike
is exacting penalties from every citizen
OF our land and is clogging the channels
of commerce and disturbing the realms
of finance and credit throughout the
civilized world. It's effect will continue
TO be felt long after its termination and
the burden will fall heaviest upon those
least able to bear It.
In consideration of these facts and
notwithstanding the powerful position
of advantage now enjoyed by the mine
workers. we have resolved to again at
6
passion will be alIayed and reason
predominate. We are able to fight in
definitely. but much prefer the pur-
suits OF peace 10 the ills of1ndustrial
warfare. We feel that the American
public will support our offer to meet
at the conference table and will encour-
age the corporate interests involved to
have their representatives present.
The making of a basic settlement In
the central competitive field will per-
NIT OF an immediate following settle-
ment in all the outlying bituminous
coal districts and should pave the way
for an immediate adjustment in the
anthracite coal fields as well. Such a
result will be acclaimed by every citi-
zen. Those who block the success of
such conference by refusal to partic-
ipate should therefore be made to bear
full responsibility for the continuing
situation"

Strikers Here Reply.


Headquarters of the district strike
committee at the Hotel Continental pre-
pared the following statement as soon
as it was learned that the Presidents
plan had been turned down:
The action of the executives suits US
perfectly. If they want fight we are
ready. We have been ready and willing
TO negotiate from the start In the IN
terests of the public, but we can win
more in an open fight than py heSotia-
tion and compromise.
"The railroad executives are now in
open revolt against the President. The
situation is now fully revealed to the
public as a strike of the Atterbury-
Wall Street railroad group against the
people OF the United States.
"As a matter Of fact. the Wall Street
railroad interests have been on strike
against the public for the past eighteen
months. The railroads first struck
against the public when in 104 specific
Instances they refused to obey the man.
dates of the railroad board. The walk
out of the shopmen was merely final
effort to secure those rights guaranteed
them by the transportation act. but de-
MED them by the roads. The railroads
struck again against the public when
they refused to negotiate settlement
proposed by Chairman Hooper OF the
labor board in Chicago. The railroads
dealt the public a final strike blow to-
day when they refused to agree to an
urgent and reasonable request for set
tlement proposed by the President In be-
half OF the people OF the United States.
This final act of the executives means
a clean cut victory for the cause of the
shop craft workers From now on pub
lie opinion will be solidly behind us. The
Government is even more deeply COM
mitted than before to bring about an
early settlement. The morale of the
men will be immensely strengthened.
"a handful OF railroad presidents, no
matter how powerful they may be. can
not long force their selfish will against
such overwhelming odds"

THE SOLUTION FOR RUSSIA

If there is any one word with which to
sum up the remedy for world wretched-
ness today that word is: Work.
In the old days the people worked for
others; then they had to work, and re-
ceived little in return for it. Today they
have the opportunity to work for them
selves and the hardest task in the world is
to teach them how to do it.
The great curse of Russia today is less
the temporary autocracy of the soviet than
the more debasing autocracy of shiftless-
ness, due to ignorance, to lack Of nourish-
ment, to lack of tools, to lack of every
thing except the land that lies there wait
ing to be worked. The American Relief
Administration, which probably knows
more about Russia today than anyone else
outside the Russian people themselves, has
accepted the plan of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee for the intro
duction of American farm methods and
machinery, especially in the Ukraine and
White Russia
DR.. Joseph A. Rosen, who made the pre-
liminary studies, is to have charge of the
work and already has planted 100000
acres of land with Indian corn, hoping to
replace the customary Russian small grain,
as one means of combating famine. AS is
usual in such enterprises, non-Jewish as
we'll as Jewish farmers will receive Ameri-
can tractors, also instruction from the
corps agriculturists and experts in tractor
farming who accompany DR.. Rosen.
A significant feature is that the farmers
are to pay for their tractors with grain;
this grain will go to the farmer co-opera-
tives and be converted into more ma
chimes.
The eminently practical feature of this
undertaking will commend it strongly to
thoughtful Americans as likely to do more
toward restoring Russia from liability to
an asset than all the European conferences.
Any country whose agricultural activity
is on sound basis is swiftly beyond the
need of interference, benevolent or other
wise.

BRIDGET

THE quaint name Of Bridget, so
= often In modern times associated
with domestics, Is In reality one OF the
most poetic Of feminine names, emery.
ing from Economically and religiously
splendid epic. It Is said to come from
Brigh. meaning strength, and had Its
origin with Brighid, the daughter of
the fire god and the Erse goddess of
wisdom, song and poetry.
Brighid has been a favorite in Ire
land since early times, and was one Of
the first few Kettle names to find pop
ularity in Europe. Her vogue there Ia
explained through the story of the
maiden. who was brought up by bard
and afterward became a pupil of st.
Patrick and, from a solitary recluse at
Kildnfe. became head Of 500 nuns and
was consulted by synod Of bishops.
She was highly revered and did much
good work. and when she died a COPY
Of the Scriptures, too beautiful to have
been written by mortal hands, was
found In her cell. The ancient Brldget's
bell. which used to ring in church tow
ers, was 80 called In honor of her, but
the title was suppressed by Henry v.
However, she has always been a pa.
tron of Ireland, and Saint Brides or
Bridget's churches are common In
England and Scotland.
Portugal has a Dona Brites, which
1t honors as st. Bridget, and Sweden
claims st. Bridget, or Brigetta. One
Swedish Brigetta. lady Of noble birth,
who founded an order of Brigettin
nuns and made a pilgrimage to Rome,
gave Bridget vogue throughout Scan

AS THEY DO IT IN EUROPE,

Europe seems immune to the dangerous
infection Of idealism. Diplomacy in the
old world remains true to its cold stand
ards. The immediate national advantage
is the thing to be sought No foolish ad-
herence to principle, nor allegiance to the
stern ultimatums of yesterday, are per-
mitted to interfere with today's opportun-
ISM
With what fervor did European chan
cellories declare few short years ago that
the "unspeakable Turk" was to be ban
ished forever from enlightened Europe
And with what readiness did they agree
to the Turks return when the combination
of his military power and their commercial
needs demanded.
It is easy to recall the terror which swept
the western world in 1919 over the danger
of bolshevism. The lowering countenance
of the bearded Russian was that of the
worlds boyle man. Never, never, never,
was Russian to be permitted to tread the
sacred corridors Of diplomacy, so long as
a soviet government bore rule and those
old debts weren't paid. And among the ma
tons who pronounced for pure antisoviet-
ism, the name of France was not the least.
But things are different now. From Paris
and Moscow seep forth reports that events
are so shaping themselves that a reap
proachment between France and Russia
may be expected. M. Herriott, back from
Moscow, where he went unofficially, re-
ports to M. Poincare that Russia is willing
to be friendly. VOLTA, French opinion con-
siders seriously an alliance with Russia.
1t is just another turn in the diplomatic
wheel. The friends (beg pardon, the part
ners of yesterday are the enemies of to-
day. The things despised may be ignored
in the light Of new relationships. It's what
you get, now how you get it, that inspires
the noblest efforts to statecraft.

LANE ON AFTER LIFE

The last manuscript to come from
Franklin K Lane was written shortly be-
fore his death and was unfinished. He
had just succeeded in coming through an
operation, the uncertain consequences of
which he was we'll aware. eff l had passed
into that other land, whom would have
|sought-and what should l have done?"
he asked. After the reunion with those
of his own folk and friendship whom he
had learned to love in their lifetime, he
reflected that he would spend little time in
search for the "sierras" of his own skyline,
or even those whose names are famous in
history, like Alexander and Cromwell.
Aristotle would claim his attention and
thought; but still the search would be
merely one of curiosity.
"But for my hearts content in that new
land" he continued, 81 think I'd rather
loaf with Lincoln along river bank.

feel how small | was. -. We'd talk of
men a lot, the kind they call the great. Yes,
we would sit down where the bank sloped
gently to the quiet stream and glance at
the picture of our people. ....."
This piece of writing put singularly
beautiful end to life which was devoted
unstintedly to the service of other men.
It demonstrates the truth that common
ideals make a bond for all men. Like
Lincoln, Franklin K. Lane felt that the
most worthwhile part of life was people.

THINK OF THE HORSE

These are days when the country is not
much exercised over the subject of mill
tary preparedness. But one large increase
just made in the country's military estab-
lishment will call for general considera-
ton. President Harding has just appointed
Irwin S. Cobb major in the officers re-
serve corps.
Administration critics may contend
that the appointment is funny one. There
are some who will insist that Cobb will
be the most humorous addition the army
has ever had. But there is serious side
to the affair, an element of cruelty, not at
all in keeping with the fine traditions of
the American armed forces.
A major is field officer, booted suprred,
and entitled, nay obliged, to ride his
charger during all the terrific heat or bitter
cold of the days on which the reviews are
held. And that's the serious point of COM
missioning Major Cobb. Think of the
horse.
