STRIKE APPEARS CERTAIN
Miners, Prepare for Walkout Seized
uled for Sept. 1.

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY. n. J., Aug. 22.-
Miners leaders today made final ar
rangements for suspension Of work
in the anthracite fields Sept. l.
Following collapse of the negotia-
tons between miners and operators
which came when they were unable
to agree on 20 per cent wage in
crease. the union chiefs rushed to
complete all details incident to the
walk-out of 155. 900 men.
No further orders are necessary.
The suspension goes into effect auto
matically Sept. unless It is specifi-
cally called off
John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers. announced his
men would go out in a body and
bring the industry to a complete
standstill as a protest against the po-
sition of, the operators in refusing
to grant recognition Of the union,
a 20 per cent wage increase and the
check-off system.
= Further Farley Useless
The deadlock in the situation is
el D. Warmer, chairman Of the poll
Cy committee of the anthracite oper-
ators, that it is useless to attempt
any further negotiations as long as
the operators maintain their present
position.
Warmer told Lewis the operators
were adamant. and he foresaw no
hope of acceding to the miners de-
mands.
The two sides, now completely split
over every point under discussion,
are awaiting word from Washington.
Warriner frankly says that he-expects
a move from President Coolidge aor
the United States Coal Commission
He still is optimistic that something
will be done to prevent a suspension.
Lewis Is Through
Lewis, however, insists that the deal
is closed so far as the miners are con-
cerned. He is not appealing to the
coal commission and says he IS re-
naming here Just for a few days"
to talk things over with his commit
tee
There is a belief here that President
. Coolidge may call another conference
or arbitration meeting.
Lewis is standing strong against
arbitration. He says the miners are
suspicious since the Wilson Admins
tration board failed to live up to labor
expectations in 1919. The dispute
must be settled by direct negotiations,
he maintains.
Warr1ner. says If there is a suspen-
sion the price Of anthracite coal must
necessarily be increased. The price
must go up any way. If the miners
demands were met the same course
would be followed in order TO meet
the Increased cost OF production"

According to one of the Assistant
