ALL PARTIES
READY FOR
SHOWDOWN
Expressions of Opinion Why
1922 Spring Should be
Season for Big Coal
Battle

WASHINGTON. D. G, March Is
Out OF the conflicting aims OF all
parties to the miners operation con-
troversy. the fact became increas-
ingly apparent today that there Is
general desire that this shall be
made the occasion for the long
threatened showdown Representa-
tives OF the mine owners in Wash
ington frankly but privately declare
they want 1t now rather than later.
From spokesman for all three fac
lions. the International News Ser
vice today obtained expressions Of
opinion as to why the spring Of
1922 should be made the season for
the gigantic battle. They are as
follows:
The Operators-Condit never

stocks of coal on hand. greater than
in years, insuring no public sun
ering for weeks at least. Assur-
ances have been received that the
administration is going to keep
! hands off" so long as the public
| interest does not compel interven-
! ton. The miners are emerging
| from a hard winter and the believe
| prevails that they are in a poor
financial condition at this time TO
Withstand a long siege. In short,
the operators believe the time is
ripe.
The characterization are fav-
orable. The United Mine Workers.
with a numerical strength OF SIS
| 900, are stronger now than ever

moral support from all organized

! orally has looked with Disseminated
! eyes on the era OF wage cuts and
! believes this to be a favorable mo-
ment TO try to check 1t once and
| for all.
The Government-It Is spring and
there are huge stocks of coal on
hand to carry through Eae war
months, insuring little or no public
suffering. The Government is will
/ ling to let the operators and the
miners battle 1t out this time to
clarity the general atmosphere and
find out who's who" in the indus
trial world.

trast with Germany under the
monarchy It Is surprising the
trend toward democracy in all di-
rections. Not complete yet, but
growing daily. A country where
every little title was revered and
military and government officials
were treated as having almost d.
vine power and had their people
trained to like it.
All this has changed in these few
short years tc place where man
is mans equal and opportunity Is
everyone's. They didn't take their
defeat easily and all these changes
spontaneously. II took hard knocks
and startling revelations to change
these minds that had been trained
only as their cid system could do It..
But their eyes are open. They are
going ahead-not as before, in a
military way (for their military Is
gone more completely than most
people can lmagine). but in a com
mercial and business way. In otn-
er words. they are WORKING. No
other country in Europe has done
this in the true sense OF the word.
STABLE GOVERNMENT
Their government is stable--not
without its trials and tribulations.
1t is a republic no. unlike ours.
with equal franchise and the people

ernrnent with which we made war

moral support. / hope we Will soon

give them our hand OF brotherhood
and let by-gones be by-gones. They
at least deserve a fair trial which
