Strikers Confident Scarcity of Coal VIII
Drive Price so High that Operators
VIII Grant Their Wage Demand
Two Weeks More of Strike.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Dispatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON. July 20.-All hope
of an immediate ending of the coal strike
has vanished. A. NJ. Ogle, head of the
National Coal association, has left
Washington and President Harding,
while cognizant of the various informal
overtures which have emanated from the
miners. is not yet determined upon any
peace move.
The operators believe that with the
help of the government they can break
the strike and deal unionism body
blow. Until they are convinced of the
accuracy or inaccuracy of their predle-
tions nothing tangible can be expected IN
the way of peace negotiations.
Just as confident as the operators have
been that, if troops were to protect
Strikebreakers the mines could be opef-
ated. are the union officials that not
gerous crisis for the nation next winter.
In support of the miners. contention
news has already come from Indiana ana
Illinois that state laws will prevent the
opening of the mines on a big scale
Workmen have to be licensed before they
can work in mines. This measure was
originally taken to safeguard the health
of employees and to insure the safety OF
those already working in the mines
State boards consisting mostly of union
men must issue the licenses and In some
cases q continued residence in the state
is required.
Can't Mine Much Coal.
In the face of this situation little hope
is entertained that Indiana and Illinois
can mine much coal. The real fight will
come in PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio. John j..
Lewis, head of the miners union, IS sure
that the miners in Pennsylvania will re-
fuse to go back to work--he insists they
will be aggravated at the mere sight OF
troops.
Unless the mine operators can per-
Suade enough miners to go back to work
materially to increase the fuel supply of
the nation, the joint effort of the govern
ment and the operators to break the
strike will be a failure. The miners
officials sit serenely by absolutely sure
that the operators will not be able to
mine enough coal. This would force
revival of peace negotiations. The gen
eral estimate Is now that two weeks will
tell the story.
And when the miners and operators
get together again the nations avail
able coal supply will have been so far
depleted that the operators will be as
sured of a high enough price for coal
next winter and they viii be able to pay
the miners better wages. The inevitable

Highly profitable is the time spent in preparing for definite future
 The young man of , to ls years commands a small rate of pay in any work. At this age he is better fitted for training which would in crease his earning power and im- prove his service to the community.
 If two years spent in training in- creases your earning power a con- servative figure of only one dollar per day, consider the total benefit for a lifetime.
 Think this oyer-it may help you decide that the future should never be sacrificed for the present moment.
