mittees of operators in maintaining fair
prices and in distributing fuel to the

FAILS will be right on the road TO
permanent prosperity. The feeling
among the men is still good and we
are conducting the strike on a peace
full basis"
Ludlow was one of the union officials
called to Helena in connection with
the request of the roads for an in
junction against the unions He decried
such action saying ii would mean that
the federal government would have to
enforce it and that troops would prob
ably follow. Towns do not recover from
the effects of the use of troops in
labor disputes in less than two years
or more. he said.
THE Great Northern has asked
Judge George NJ Bourqun for a tenn
porary restraining order read the
he gave in connection with
Helena trip. Men here were surprised
at this action because they had en-
deavored to conduct the strike on
peaceful basis. They have been sue
cessful in this as there has been no
destruction of property nor intimda-
ton of strike breakers whom the com
pany has been able to place at work.
Says Ranks Arc intact
Nothing has been done by the
strikers which could not have been
done had there been no strike. There
has been no desertion from the strik-
ers' ranks"
Accompanying Ludlow on the Helena
trip were Mike Holland. chairman of

had contributed to pending fuel fam
inc, John l.. Lewis, president of the
international union, Tuesday night re
newed his invitation to operators to
settle the strike by joint conference.
The attempt to reopen the mines
by assembling and parading engines of
war to awe American citizens his
statement continued. would be ma
tional farce, did it not possess the
elements of tragedy"
Against District Contracts
His plea for imme ediate resumption
of negotiations between operators and
miners was based on what he termed
the complete failure of the govern
ment's efforts, which, he asserted, have
been the net result of governmental
attempts to avert a fuel famine. Mr.
Lewis remained firm, however. for q
national conference to include all coal
operators. and reiterated the refusal
of his organization to confer or negO-
tiate new wage contracts by districts.
The mine workers chief Tuesday
night went to Philadelphia. where
Wednesday will meet the five union
district presidents, representing 3lO,-
600 anthracite and bituminous miners
in Pennsylvania who have been idle
during the II weeks of the strike.
Ten days have elapsed since the
president directed operators whose
miners are on strike to resume the
production of coal" said Mr.. Lewis
following which he telegraphed the
governors of commonwealths urging
them to accord military protection to
all coal companies employing strike
breakers.
Says No Unionists Returned
: Despite this policy the statement
issued by Mr.. Lewis continued. mot
a single union miner has returned to
work. Ii must now be obvious to all |
that the American miners will not be |
driven back to work at starvation |
wages and under non-union conditions
by any fanfare of trumpets or vain
military display.
