probably will be decided here within the
coming week. The miners national or
ganlzation, the United Mine Workers OF
America. meets here with delegates
from every union field in the country
present, to frame its wage demands,
On the eve Of the meeting, regarded
as the most monentous ever faced by
the largest labor union OF the coun.
try, the situation shapes up rs fol-
lows:
THE miners will vote probably
unanimously against accepting the
wage cuts proposed by operators.
"A counter-demand of 20 per
cent wage INCREASE porbably will be
made.
5-Secretary Hoover has made pre-
llnlnary move looking to the proven
ton OF nationwide coal strike, and
this move probably will be placed be-
fore the convention for action.
4-John L. Lewis, president OF the
miners organization, has received re-
plies from virtually all the railroad
union presidents, to whom he proposed
an offensive and defensive allinace OF
rail- and coal employees.
o-The railroad workers are willing
to meet with the miners TO discuss such
an alliance as Lewis proposes, but
have not committed themselves to the

Il taken, would be complete reversal

'ibllity for making the 1rst advance.
"The miners scale committee, con

'ince last Tuesday formulating Its pro-

'osals, which are the only business
to come before The cOnyen-
Ion. probably will be ready for pre-
the FIRST day OF the meeting.
The advance OF 20 per cent In wages,
proposed by members OF the committee,

miners on an equal footing with the

were masked. Miss Wacaster said
that the man who spoke was the man
who fired the fatal shot. Although the
