LEWIS SAYS MINERS
MEETING HAS ENDED
Arbitration Demand Blocks
Chance of Settlement.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-Miners' rep
resentatives, headed by John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
will remain in Philadelphia until to-
morrow, but this was said not to indi-
cate that they had hopes a resumption
OF the joint conference between them
selves and the anthracite operators
committee in an endeavor TO patch up
negotiations broken off suddenly yes
terday.
"Our work to-day and tomorrow"
said Philip Murray, vice-president Of
the union, lis merely of a routine ma
ture"
THE conference is adjourned as far
as we are concerned Mr.. Lewis said.
"As long as the operators insist upon
arbitration to settle the strike we are
through"
The operators. who conferred among
themselves to-day, although issuing no
formal statement. indicated that their
position. held since the joint conference
began last Thursday, was unchanged.
The position OF both parties to the
argument, which began with the sus-
pension in the Pennsylvania hard coal
fields last April, seemed to indicate to
observers that the fight between the
operators and the $4,000 hard coal
miners was to the finish unless Presi-
dent Harding again invited the oppo-
nents to resume negotiations.

TIM HEALY ASSAILS
HARDING IN STRIKE
Firemen's Chief Charges Pres
ident Broke His Word
to Railmen.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Aug. %. - Timothy
Healy. international president of the
Stationary Firemen, speaking to-day
before the convention of the New York
State Federation of Labor, described
President Harding as "the great big
Chief Justice Taft as "a man who
couldn't get a job as constable or dog
catcher in any election anywhere in the
United States"
I'm talking mighty plain said
Healy. ''but / don't want to say any
thing to-day that might tend to muddle
the waters"
Healy said that President Harding had
broken faith with the striking railroad
shopmen. as, after making his first
proposition asking the carriers to
take back the striking railroad
shopmen with seniority unimpaired
he promised committee of union
men that he would use the big
stick to make the railroads accept
Instead. Healy added, ''the other fellow
used the big stick on the President

by the carriers. the labor leader con-
tinued, the President offered second

and the question of seniority be left to
the labor board to settle,
Last Friday" said Healy. 'the Presi-
dent threw up his hands and said he
was unable to settle the strike. Teddy
Roosevelt wouldn't have done that
Woodrow Wilson wouldn't have broken
faith with labor that way"
Healys criticism of Chief Justice Taft
referred to the action OF the Supreme
Court in declaring unconstitutional the
Federal child labor law, and to Mr.. Taft's
opinion in the case of the Coronado Coal
Company. A resolution was introduced
by Healy and adopted by the conven-
tion, calling for legislation to provide for
the recall of State Supreme Court JUS
tices and the election of Appellate Divi-
sion Justices by popular vote.
Healy declared that all the murders
and violence growing out of the railroad
strike had been committed by ''ruffians
employed by the railroads" He praised

Wlsconsls, Borah of Idaho, Johnson OF
California, France of Maryland and
