Philadelphia, Aug. IA joint wage
conference of operators and miners
of the Central Competitive Blum
inous fields, to be held in Cleveland
next Monday for the purpose Of ne
gotiating basic agreement designed
to terminate the present coal strike
was called today by John L. Lewis,
international president Of the United
Mine Workers.
President Lewis also summoned
the general policy committee of the
union to meet in Cleveland at the
same time for the purpose Of acting
promptly upon developments as they
may occur in the joint wage confer
cnce. All men will remain on strike
until an agreement or definite un-
derstanding is reached.
In connection with the call for tn j.
interstate conference, President Lew
is gave out the following statement:
"In issuing an invitation to the
coal operators of the central COM
petitive field to assemble in joint
conference in Cleveland on August 7,
am. actuated by the highest con-
sidcration of public welfare and tka
impelling necessity for an early ad-
judication of the issues involved in
the bituminous and anthracite coal
Z. fields. s!.s,s ss 49, Il i 81
Industrial Convulsion.
"This strike, unparalleled in it's
magnitude is now in its eighteenth
week and constitutes an industrial
convulsion which nenaces the fnan-
cial social fabric Of our nation. Aside
from the tremendous personal sacri-
fees so bravely endured by the min"
workers the strike is exacting penal
ties from every citizen of our land
and is closing down the channels Of
commerce and disturbing the realms
of finance and credit throughout the
civilized world. Its effect will con-
tinue to be. felt long after its ter
mination and the burden will fall
heaviest upon those least able to
bear it. ...n
"In consideration of these facts,
and Notwithstanding the powerful po-
sition of advantage now enjoyed by
the mine workers, we have resolved
to again attempt to assemble a con-
ference where passion will be al
layed and reason predominant. We
are able to fight indefinitely but
much prefer the pursuits of peace to
the ills of industrial warfare. We
feel that the American public will
support our offer to meet at the con-
ference table and will encourage the
corporate interests involved to have
their representatives present"
It is expected the makeup of the
conference will follow as nearly as
possible those of other years. The
miners will probably be represented
by eight men from each of the four
states. The representation of the
operators will depend Upon the num-
Der that respond to the call. It has
been repeatedly stated by leaders of
the union conference would be call
ed as soon as assurances were had
that sufficient tonnage would be rep
resented to make possible basic
wage agreement. Nothing could be
learned as to the amount of tonnage
pledged to attend the meeting.
