 5nsas operators agree to return to wage scale of May, 1917, pro- viding for s a day instead of the S3.5o named in the present agree ment.
 Union leaders claim victory for striking anthracite miners through the offer of several independent companies to grant the miners wage demands if the men return to work immediately.
 President Lewis of the miners tells the house labor committee the miners are prepared to stay out indefinitely, If need be, until the operators sign up a basic wage contract for the central competitive field"

WASHINGTON, D. C., April B. Discussing before the house labor committee today reasons why 100000 hard and soft coal miners stopped work last Saturday in the United States and Canada, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work trs of America and official leader of the srtike. declared that the anthra- cite workers had gone out merely to await the results of a peaceful nego- tiation with their employers over q new wage scale but that the bitu minous workers were out indefinite ly, ii need be, to obtain the signing of basic wage contract.
 The bituminous workers, Mr. Lewis declared before the committee which is considering the Bland reso- lution to direct appointment by the president or commission to investi- gate the coal industry, are out to stay indefinitely, if need be, until the operators oi the central competi- tive field sign up a basic wage con tract according to their pledge on which the other coal mining districts of the United States can settle"
 In reply to questions by Represen- taiive Black. democrat, of Texas, as to why the union would not settle with operators in states and districts, where work could be resumed under satisfactory conditions, Mi Lewis insisted that competition would not permit the operators to fix wages locally without a knowledge of the wage scales their competitors would have
 Even if the operators ill Illinois for instance" he added, are wiling to sign up a new wage scale for themselves without regard to com petitors, the United Mine Workers Of America are unwilling to have its members in Ohio, Western Pennsyl- vania, Indiana and West Virginia dragged into the suffering of long strike while the Illinois mine owners take the markets"
