YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio. August IL
The pipe mill of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company was virtually idle to-
day as the result of walkout OF
men who work ten hours a day. and
who, with the inauguration of the
eight -hour-day in other departments
want either an increase of pay for a
ten -hour-day or a reduction Of the
work day to eight hours.
The day shift at the pipe mill
worked eight hours yesterday and
then quit. Two hours later the night
shift came to work. and, after work
ing eight hours, they also quit

ported for duty. Mill officials said tn
number of men who were out could
not be ascertained until check had
been made OF the number who were
willing to work.

NO REPLY TO DEMANDS.

BY the Associat ted Press
PEkING, August Ito date no
reply has been received from the
Chinese government by the foreign
diplomats who recently presented 10
the government a lengthy demand
for indemnities for the capture and
Imprisonment of foreigners last May
and June by the Suchow train band
its.
consideration of the demands by the
foreign office have revealed that
there is opposition to the diplomats
suggestion that hereafter railways
be guarded, with foreign officers In
antee of safety to foreign travellers
but that there is an inclination TO
accede to the demands for compen-
sation. Meanwhile, ii is understood
to be desired by Chinese officials that
the question of governmen sanction
of banditry be held in allegiance. The
diplomats in a statement accompany
ing the demands accused the govern
ment of acquiescing in the deprcda-
tions of outlaws.
China should do about the demands
but admit that something should be
done. The Shun Tien -Shi-Pao OBJ
serves that the note hints lack OF
confidence in the government ca
pacity to defend the treaty rights
of foreigners and expresses the be-
lief that the government will gain
nothing by arguing or protesting,
and suggests that the people must
comparatively restore order and
thereby render the warning of for
eignerS unnecessary.
The Yi-Shi-pao thinks there should
have been no demands beyond those
for compensation. 1t says the re-
spousible officials should be punished
voluntarily and not under coercion,
and that in this respect the diplO-
mats should be asked to withdraw
their demands.
The Standard (Japanese) declares
the foreign diplomats are hopelessly
muddled, demanding punishment Of
officials while the bandits are i'm
mune and even rewarded.

concessions above enumerated" the
letter continued.
IF the foregoing offer to extend
the contract is not acceptable TO the
miners, the operators are ready to re-
new negotiations for the purpose of
reaching a new agreement mutually
acceptable. If an agreement is not
reached BY September l the operators
propose that any part of the eleven
demands of the miners still in con-
troversy shall be submitted to arbi-
tratien. II arbitration cannot be mu-
tually agreed upon then the Presi-
dent of the United States shall be
requested to appoint the arbitra tors.
In view of our offer to extend the
present wage scale to March 81. we
will not, in case of arbitration, ask
for any downward revision of the
present wage scale. Operations shall
be continued and the findings of such
arbitrators shall be retroactive to
September J."
Lewis Holds Out Hopes.
Mr.. Lewis today declared that an an
thracite strike September 1 still
could be averted if operators would
abandon the check-off and enter a
general conference called by the Coal
Commission.
Mr.. Lewis added that there still was
plenty of time in which to reach a
new wage agreement before August
81. If the operators felt so inclined.
Before beginning the third day of
the parley called by the Coal Com
mission. Mr. Lewis said that the way
out of the present difficulty could be
stated in Ave words: Abandon check
offs and enter conference"
IF the operators will abandon the
a az hZtF TO ~ th.AT
day. we will be willing to adjourn
here and resume negotiations at At
lantic City" said Mr. Lewis. I'VE Will,
however, insist on full recognition of
the union. although We will not insist
on barring out other than union mem
bers from mine operations. If this
Is agreed to, there will still be ample
time to reach an agreement and avert
q strike"
Other representatives of the miners
declared that their side would stand
pat on wages and other demands.
Lewis Dissatisfied.
Mr.. Lewis reiterated his dissatis-
faction with the qualified manner"
of the operators promise to abandon
the check off as regards supplies ad-
vanced to the miners. He declared
the miners stood ready, as was an
nounced the day the conference open
ed, 10 abandon their demand for the
requisite of the settlement must be
absolute abandonment by the opera :
tors of the check-off for supplies"
Under present conditions in the
anthracite fields the operators re-
tain from miners pay sums due for
supplies furnished them. such as fuel,
powder and dynamite. The miners
had insisted that union dues also be
checked off, but said they were will
ing to abandon that demand if the
operators would abandon the check
off on supplies.
The Coal Commission members, DR.
George Otis Smith. Charles r.. Neill

Clark Howell. still held to the atti-
tude of seeking information in all

PROBLEMS NCOAL
CR|S|SEXPLAINED

Problems in the anthracite coal sit
planned to members of the Kiwanis
Club by George II. Gushing. manag-
ing director of the American Anthra-
cite Coal Association. at the weekly
meeting of the organization in the
Hotel Washington yesterday.
Commenting on the suggestion by
John Hays Hammond that the gov
ernment take over and work the
mines, "a proposition which the press
seems to think the easiest of per-
fc crming," Mr.. Gushing said that few
people realized just what such an un-
dertaking meant.
I'm the first place" said he. "recog-
milton from miners, including the
check-off system, must be obtained
otherwise soldiers will have to bepsent
to the regions to dig coal with bayon-
cts. But before this is done time
must be taken to secure permission
from Maryland authorities to cross
that state, and more time from tht
government OF Pennsylvania to en-
ter that commonwealth.
Need of Miners.
This done, practical miners are
still needed to do the work, otherwise
anything might happen, as 1T takes
men who know their business to han
die the work, on account of the close
proximity of towns and cities to the
mines Then, too, the Pennsylvania
law prohibits bituminous coal miners
from working anthracite mines. and
as the strikers would not only be
against the industry, but the United
States as we'll, it is easy to see the al
most criminal carelessness in the rec
ommendation."
Referring to the check off. the
speaker said that "it is not a thing
Ia tool-not a principle. but means tc
an end
The closed shop in the anthracite
fields means but one thing, a demand
by the miners of the American people
that their vested rights be respected
and by vested rights the miner means
that he owns his job, that IT is his
and that no authority has the power
to trespass on his rights, and that he
has the power to crush those who
would attempt 1t. That is q concise
meaning of the closed shop in the
mining regions. nothing more or moth
ling less"
to take either side but to bring the
situation clearly before his audience

all-day, old-fashioned outing at Nor

STRIKE Is HELD CERTAIN,
WITH BOTH SIDES FIRM
BY ROBERT II. SMALL.
,ecial Djspatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August IA walkout
of all the miners in the anthracite
fields on the night of August 81 seems
inevitable. Even if some new basis of
negotiation should develop between
now and then there will be no altera-
tion of the program. The miners have
their backs up and will not work in the
absence of complete agreement. John
L. Lewis, president of the Mine Work
ers' Union, is not leading his men in
this stand. He is merely carrying out
their orders.
The Federal Coal Commission, head
ed by John Hays Hammond. has dis
covered many things in its series of
conferences first with the miners and
then with the mine owners. 1t has
learned. among other things, that these
two opposing groups are led by two
very clever and resourceful men. Two
men who are very suave of manner,
| but very complex and intricate when
it comes to word OF mouth or pen.
The commission has learned that it
must always scratch far beneath the
surface of any written proposal or
counter proposal submitted by either
side to the controversy. In other
words, things are not always as they
seem. Both operators and miners
have Rooseveltian way of treading
softly. but carrying a big stick.
Just now operators and miners are
engaged in an extremely clever battle
of propaganda. They have been at
it for a long time and have become
experts at the game. The coal COM
mission was not onto their tricks
when 1t first came TO New York and
optimistically placed too much con-
fidence in what appeared to be very
frank and engaging exchange of notes
looking to a settlement of one of the
| principal points in the deadlock
which has existed since negotiations
| were broken off at Atlantic City some
| two or three weeks ago.
Propaganda Race On.
The Atlantic City conference began
| in an air of propaganda, and it was
| one of the most discouraging signs
associated with the conference. The
propaganda speeches and propaganda
! statements were not intended to
have any bearing whatever upon the
| actual negotiations, but were purely
and solely for public consumption.
| It appeared that both miners and
operators were convinced that strike
was certain, and each wanted to ap-
pear in the best ilght possipie be1ore
| the public.
There was also the thought that
the side which might eventually find
Ipublic opinion arrayed against II
would have to surrender therefore
there was q wild battle to win public
opinion for ones own side and array
| 1t against the other. That battle still
| is in progress. The coal commission.
instead of settling things by coming
to New York, has lent fuel to the
propaganda fire.
The operators want to use the COM
mission to convince the public that
right is solely on their side. The
miners want to employ the same
vehicle to show that the operators
are all wrong and that right alone
iresides with the underground work
ters. Today statements and counter
statements still were being fled with
