April 1, when the present agreement ex-
pires" When HOover's declaration became
known among the delegates attending the
anthracite miners tri-distrtct convention
here, some of them expressed the belief
that HOOver's prophecy was based On In
formation given him by President Lewis
and also from HoOver's own understand
ing Of the bituminous operators atti-

International Secretary Treasurer viii

prophecy, said:
"The executives Of the miners will dc
everything in their power to avoid a
suspension Of work and operations either
in the anthracite or bituminous fields
II strike does come, the responsibility

Samuel WEIGH, president Of district No

WASHINGTON, Jan ga last ditch
f gbt against starvation wages has been
determined upon by organized miners.

wide strike April I, 1t was learned to-
day.
The miners will first demand a to 10
per cent wage increase to become effec-
tive April l, when existing contracts ex-
pire, their leaders said today. Rejection
Of the demands by operators will precipi-
tate a strike Of such proportions as to
paralyze the entire coal industry.
There will be no cOmpromise-efther q
wage increase or strike.
INTERNATIONAL CON
vENTION FEB. IA.
war plans for the miners will be
adoT led at an international convention to
he held by the United Mine Workers Of
America in indianapolis, Feb. Il. All
the anthracite and bituminous workers
in this country and Canada viii be repre-
scented.
Increased wages will be demanded on
the ground that miners are the lowest
paid workers in America. The maximum
wage paid the average miner in 1921, 1t
was stated, amounted to S937J0. Leaders
termed this a starvation wage which re-
ton among miners families, as evidenced
in West Virginia and Kansas.
A mass Of data being prepared for use
at the convention shows that there were
125 work days in 1921 for the organized
workers. The maximum wages was $3.50
q day with the average running far less.
The existing scale, 1t was said, ranges
from a maximum Of S114 a ton in Illinois
70 a minimum Of 70 cents q ton In Ala
bama.
This data VIII Be presented to the
operators with the new demands, either
separately or at joint conference, It
will mark the last stand OF organized
miners, it was stated by leaders, II the
demands are refused, strike orders viii be
flashed to every organized mine local
Leaders, however, were agreed that no
action would be taken to April 1.
HOLD PRESENT
CONTRACTS GOOD.
The miners viii not break their
present contracts which expire March 81 ="
said one official. 'The miners have no
desire to provoke an industrial conflict.
but viii fight for an American standard
Of living.
If they accepted a 90 per cent reduc-
ton in wages they would have no
guarantees Of increased employment.
some miners IN west virginia are SeIUDg
only $3.50 a day and working but one
or two days a week. The public can
not expect Americans to exist on such
wages.
1T is not 4 question Of high wages
but a question of actual existence. Last
year there were only 125 work days. The
peak year was 1918 with 20S days which
gave the highest paid miners about 81, $50
for the year, less even than average girl
stenographers. These men must keep
their families alive. It Is next to i'm
possible. It is not human to ask them
10 bear the impossible burden any
longer"
The miners are standing firm against
any wage reduction and are insisting on
national wage agreement, while the
operators apparently desire to break up
the power Of the United Mine Workers by
