IDLE TO TALK WAGE
CUTS, SAYS Lewis
Mine Union Head Addresses
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Is :
Suggested,
By the Associa ted Press.

SHAMOKIN. Pa, January 17.-It is
idle to talk of reducing the wages OF
the coal miners of the country. Inter.
national President John L. Lewis OF
the United Mine Workers told the an
/ thracite wage convention, which
opened here today.
He recognized. he said, that there
lis an organized propaganda to reduce
the wages of the miners, but there car
be no backward step in the progress
of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica''
|. IF any industrial conflict must come
to protect the interests of the mine
workers and guard their honor" Mr.
Lewis exclaimed, then an industrial
conflict must come.
The mine workers of the country
President Lewis added. stand ready
and willing to negotiate new wage
contracts in the bituminous and an
thracite fields to replace those that
expire March 81, and If the operators
of <he country will not respond 10
the invitation. then there will be no
contract and the responsibility will
not rest with the United Mine Work
ers.
"It makes no difference" Mr.. Lewis
said. amid cheers. '.if non-union men
in the mining districts and in other
industries accept a wage reduction.
We do not propose to follow the nom
union men down the ladder to the
morass of degradation. We do not
propose to have the non-union yard
stick applied to eur measure of the
standard of living.
The convention of miners, repre-
senting all the organized mine work
ers in the anthracite fields, was called
to consider the new wage agreement.
The calling of the present meeting
follows a custom of the union to have
it's members formally agree on wages
and working conditions to be submit
ted to the operators. The action of
the present convention must be ap-
proved by the international conven-
tion at Indianapolis next month. aft
er which the mining companies will
the union.
The convention, according to the Of
fcers Of the union, will ask for an In
crease in wages OF about 20 per cent.
1t also will ask that wage rates be
made uniform throughout the anthra-
the hours Of men working more than
eight a day be reduced. A demand
for the establishment of the check
off, fought for by the union many
years in the anthracite field, also will
be made.
Wnll6 no ONlClAl announcement mas
come from the anthracite operators
as a whole, it is generally understood
in the coal fields that the mining
companies will ask the men to take
reduction. Union leaders are on
record as being opposed to any low
ering of wage rates, either in the
anthracite or bituminous fields.
Wage contracts in the soft coal
region expire at the same time as the
hard coal field.
1t has been the policy of the In
ternational union in the hard coal
fields to keep the men at work SO
long as negotiations progress favor
ably and assurance is given that the
men remaining at work will not re-
ceive q cut. 1t Is expected the mat
ter finally will be left for the inter-
national policy committee to work

Irish Delegates Meet With

LONDON, January 17.-Details Incl
dent to the transfer of authority in
southern Ireland from the crown gov
tration. established in Dublin on Sat-
urday. were considered here today.
canon ]. Duggan and Kelvin O'Hig-
gins. delegates of the Irish provision
al government. arrived in London to
confer with members of the British
cabinet relative to the investment of
the new regime with governmental
responsibility.
Initial steps In the establishment OF
the new provisional government OF
the Irish Free State were taken at
Dublin yesterday. when a proclama-
tion was issued announcing the pro-
visional governnAent' had entered upon
its duties under the treaty with Grea,
Britain. The war ONCE has announc-
ed that withdrawal Of British forces
in southern Ireland will begin imme-

Would Level Dublin Castle.
I The Morning Post, a newspaper
which has steadfastiy shown hostility
to Irish home rule and has upheld
the principle of unionism, today
printed tie following dispatch from
It's Dublin Correspondent:
The provisional government will
make a great mistake If it does not
level Dublin Castle to the ground.
There is an evil spell upon it, and its
spirit Is quite as capable of destroy
ing the Irish Free State as it was of
destroying the union with England.
Certainly nobody who has believed
in that union would weep IL the cas-
tie should crumble to dust. Its spirit
of intolerant bureaucracy, the type
of politician that 1t harbored and the
kind OF administrators 1t bred did
more to destroy the union than agi-
tators and ason-mongers.
salhried OMcials Attacked.
when the exodus begins. the fast
nesses Of Dublin Castle will disEorge
high-salaried officials who have not
done a stroke of honest work in
years"
The correspondent intimated that
the officials against whom he was
writing were in coIlusion with
"rebels' while drawing salaries and
wearing titles received from the
crown.
1T is comforting to remember" he
concluded, that the men who did
these things. and made the castle
what 1t was we're Irishmen. 1t is
less pleasing to remember that their
British colleagues, though few, gen.
orally outclassed the native officials
in incompetence and stupidity. In
Dublin Castle. Great Britain gave
ireland her absolute and insurpas-
sable worst. Had 1t been otherwise,
ignominious dissolution would never
have been the fate of the union"
