Mules Have Good Times


WILKES-BARRE. April 1.-THE
$4,000 idle mine workers in the IN
thracite fields of Pennsylvania are
not alone In enjoying the holiday
brought about by the cessation. order.
The mine mules, many of which
have not seen daylight for years. are
also enjoying it and If the capers
they cut are to be taken as refiec-
ton OF their feeling. they are more
pleased than the miners.
Certainly these beasts OF burden
are not worrying about the length
of suspension for everything han
been done for their comfort. Thou
sands were brought from the dark
levels in bordered enclosures. To
watch them romping about. kick
ing and biting at each other good
naturally, was evidence enough that
they welcomed the opportunity to
get into the sunshine and air, free
from coal gases. But there was even
stronger evidence that the mules dis
liked their underground existence
when an effort was made to drive
them to a mine opening. Evidently
there was rebellion.
1t Is in the deep ecesses Of the
mine. where trolley lines cannot
or where sparks from cleo
trio wires might u a explosions
that the mules are employed. After
once taken into the Amer workings
they are W. removed except in
cases Of the similar suspension.
Their average life underground 10
about fifteen years.

ILLINOIS MINES
MAY Be REOPENED
OPERATORS SUBMIT NEW Of
FER TO MINERS-REFUSE TO
ATTEND MEETING CALLED
FOR CLEVELAND TODAY BY
LEWIS.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Illinois coal op-
orators meeting here today refused
to attend the meeting of union Of
fcials and operators called for Cleve-
land next Monday by John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, but submitted proposition to
Frank harrington, president of the
Illinois Miners union, which if ae-
cepted would result in reopening OF
Illinois mines.
"Acceding to and being governed
by the request of the president OF
the United States," the proposal to
Mr.. harrington said, 1--WE are pre-
pared to at once open our mines for
work, paying the wage scale in effect
at the expiration Of the. last contract
And to avoid possible further dis
ruption of coal production this fall
and winter when the coal supply
will be dangerously short even un'
der the best conditions, we will agree
that the old wage scale shall remain
effective until March 81, 1929"
The proposals suggested that inn
mediately upon resumption Of oper-
ations the whole matter of Illinois
wages and working conditions be
submitted to a board Of arbitration
composed of persons mutually agreed
to or appointed by President Hard
ing, no member of the board to be
an operator or a miner.
The findings of the board, accord.
ing to the terms Of the proposal
would be binding and would consti,
tute the wage basis for a period OF
two years from April I, 1928.
The letter to President Lewis re-
fuSlng to attend the CleVeAnd con
ference asserted that Mr.. Lewis had
called two meetings and the Illinois
operators extended invitations, but
both were later abandoned. The let
ter also asserted that Illinois opera
tors had accepted the proposal tc
/ end the strike made by President
Harding but the miners had rejected
it and blamed international offNers
of the union for the present situa
ton. Through refusal of Mr.. Lewis
to allow such a conference the pres,
ent coal situation in Illiois has been
brought about, the statement said.
