MINERS REFUSE
TO NEGOTIATE
Turn Down Proposition Of EN-.
pIoyers to Hold Conferences
by Districts.
ASK FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
Workers Assert That "Needless and
Indefensible Profits" Are Being
Made Through MonopoIistic Con-
troll Exercised by Operators.

Hope for>settlement by states of the
nationwide coal strike was snuffed out
when both John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, and Frank harrington, head OF
the Illinois miners, issued statements
asserting that the miners still stood
pat on their announced policy OF re-
fusing to enter district negotiations
for fixing wage scales.
Harrington announced that the dis
trict executive board Of the miners,
upon his recommendation, unani-
mously had refused to accept the in
vitation Of the Illinois coal operators
to meet them in district wage scale
conferences.
+. G. Honnold, secretary of the
Illinois coal operators, declined to
comment on the stand Of the miners.
II was learned, however, that the op-
orators probably will wait for the
miners to take the next step.
Charges are made by the miners
that needless and indefensible profits"
are exacted from the public Through
the operators monopolstic control OF
the industry" The miners assert that
"a major operation touching funda-
mental causes of high prices of coal
is necessary before true adjustment
Of wages can be made" They ask
for a complete federal investigation
of hard-coal mining and distribution.
President Lewis in his statement de-
clared the strike situation, so far as
the miners were concerned, was ex-
cellent. AT the same time he issued
warning to the public declaring ma
tiOnal coal famine is impending, and
that the American coal consuming
public again will be compelled to bear
the burden Of further price extOrtiOns.
