Lee Denies Miners Asked
Trainnen for Money Aid
Insists Union Viii Do Its Part
if appeal Is Made; Not To
Be Represented at Meeting

Specin! Dispatch to The Tribune
CLEVELAND, April 2.-Emphatic de-
nial that any request for financial as
sistance had been made by the striking
union miners of the Brother erhood of
Railroad Trainmen was made tonight
by William G. Lee, president of the
trainmen, at his home in Lakewood,
Cleveland suburb.
"The miners have made no appeal
he said. "If they do l feel sure the
trainmen will do their part. But so
far there has been no intimation that
any such appeal would be made, and
I do not expect one in the near future"
Mr. Lee also denied that the brother
hood would be represented at any
meeting in Chicago or anywhere else
to consider what means could be
adopted to help the miners.
"While our sympathies are with the
striking miners in their fight for better
working conditions" he said, "we have
our own contracts with our employers
to fulfill. Moreover, sympathetic
strikes are unlawful and the brother
hoods first consideration is to be law
abiding"

Strike Settlement in
Illinois Predicted Soon
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune

DUQUOIN, Ill, April "A predic-
strike will be brought about soon in
Illinois, despite any existing -four
states agreement" was made to-day by
DR.. A. E. Fyke, president of the Marion
County Coal Company and prominent
mine operator in the southern Illinois
fields. DR.. Fyke, whose company owns
the Chicago Glen Ridge mine, located
at Centralia, based his prediction on
the belief that whatever strength the
union possesses in the western Penn
sylvania fields will soon disintegrate
resulting in return to normal pro-
duction in that region on q non union
basis.
when that happens the logical Sc
ouence will be almost immediate feel
ers thrown out by Illinois union chiefs
looking toward getting together with
the Illinois operators" said DR.. Fyke.
He laid the principal blame for the
big tie-up upon the refusal of the
Pennsylvania operators to meet union
heads in conference. Illinois mine
heads, he said, had throughout the con-
troversy assumed much more con-
ciiiatory attitude toward the union
leaders than the Eastern owners. The
situation in the East forced John L..
Lewis, international president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
Frank l.. harrington, state president,
into corner, where they were, from

Special ptspotch TO The Tribune

PITTSBURGH, April 2.-Reports to-
day from throughout the bituminous coal
field OF western Pennsylvania, eastern
Ohio and West Virginia tend to con-
firm the belief that the organized min
crs will comply with the strike orders
virtually to a man. and that in parts
of Pennsylvania and Ohio there will be
many accessions to the strikers from
non-union ranks. In West Virginia,
apparently, the walk out will make little
difference in production.
Union officials Of District No. 5, the
Pittsburgh district passed to-day in the
field, holding meetings of miners and
rengthening their forces in various
ways. Officials of Distric, No 2, the
Clear6eld district, occupied the day sim
iarly. District President John Brophy,
returning this evening from, trip
throughout important mining communi-
ties of the district, said: "The strike in
our district is 100 per cent effective

persuading the latter to walk out.
Ten non-union mines employing about
one thousand men in the Punxsutawney
region responded to the strike call,
union officials say, making the walk-out
complete in that region.

This leaves net reduction Of about
S2,500,000 compared with appropria~
tions made by the 1921 Legislature
and one Of about s12,000,000 compared
with 1920 appropriations. Another
factor which worked against further
reductions was an increase Of 81, 1885,

ture had no control. Of this amount
$2,416,765 was needed for fixed

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April g.
Officials of the United Mine Workers
to o-day confined their efforts to address,
ing non-union men at mass meetings
in an effort to induce them to join tho
coal strike. Reports from various sec
tions Of the West Virginia mining re-
gions Indicated that the strike is not
general, since number of fields have
never been organized or have strayed
from the ranks, but the walk out in the
union mines was complete.
Reports from the Williamson and Tug
River fields show that 90 per cent of
the non-unon men remained at work
on the first day Of the strike, while in
Marshall County about 500 onunion
men failed to report for duty
William Roy, vice-president of the
Ohio United Mine Workers, while at
Bellaire to-day, announced that orders
for the conduct of the union miners may
be amended to permit them to produce
coal in the "peddling" mines for home
consumption. The strike order. as it
now stands, he said, permits mining
of coal only for municipal electric and
water plants, churches, schools and
hospitals. No efforts were being made
to dig coal at the 1874 union mines in
sub district No. S, and save for neces-
sary pumping and protective work the
fields were idle
