United Mine Workers and his
oath as officer Of the union.
After the conference Monday at
Governor Pinchot's summer home at
Milford, Pa, the governor issued the
following statement:
"Mr. Lewis and / have had what
to me has been very interesting and
knowledge.imparting conversation.
We have each agreed that what was
said by the other shall be held con-
fidential. may say that in addition
to our discussion of the anthracite
situation, we have gone into the mat.
ter Of freight rates for the western
and central Pennsylvania fields to
tidewater and the Great Lakes. Be-
cause of my very great interest in
this matter I have been especially
glad to get the benefit of Mr.. Lewis
point of view"
Just why all the secrecy is some
thing that needs explanation and the
miners are preparing to demand of
John L. Lewis why he enters into a
conference whose purposes are so
questionable as to necessitate a
promise Of secrecy.
But regardless Of what Lewis may
give as an excuse, the evidence all
indicates that Lewis is preparing the
ground for a sell-out of the miners
demands on a basis Of compromise
and this is decidedly the correct evi.
dence from Lewis statement given
to the press along with Governor
Pinchot's. He said:
II greatly appreciate the intense
interest OF Governor Pinchot in the
anthracite mining situation as ex-
emplified in our very interesting con.
versation Of today.
1.-THE mine workers and the public
should recall the great service
rendered by the governor In a sim.
liar controversy two years ago.
While the purpose Of my visit here
was in no way related to the pos
sIbiIity Of public Intervention in
the present controversy, yet feel
that the exchange of information
will be greatly valuable In any
future settlement that may take
place. 4aefe
Il heartily approve of the action of
the governor in interesting himself
in the question Of freight rates as
affecting the interests of the coal in
dustry in Pennsylvania"
That the ground is being laid for a
compromise betrayal of the anthracite
miners demands is not the impress
sion merely of the Progressive Miners

LEWIS AND PLNCHOT CONFERENCE
PREPARES ARBITRATION BETRAYAL
OF THE ANTHRACITE MINERS STRIKE

in the Tri-District. Such outstand-
ing organs of capitalism as the New
York Times comments thus on the
possibility of another treacherous
arbitration" of the miners demands
by Governor Pinchot:
while the governor again en-
phasized that his conferences are not
intended as preliminaries to inter-
vention, the impression is strong
among observers that both he and the
two men he has talked with, feel their
meetings may have more conse-
quences than merely to furnish the in
formation which Mr.. Pinchot says is
at present his only objective"
Bitter comments are heard from
rank and file miners of the Progress
sive Miners Committee movement,
pointing out that Lewis statement is
direct invitation to arbitration,
which has been condemned by Lewis
himself at the beginning Of the strike
While the miners are prepared to
hold out indefinitely, 1t is pointed out
Lewis is surrendering at time the
strike is only two weeks old.
Lewis, when arbitration" was
urged by the operators before and al
the beginning Of the strike, condemn.
ed it, and stated very definitely that
the anthracite miners had gotten their
belly full of arbitration two years age
and wanted no more Of the same.
Yet Governor PInchot was the one
who was directly responsible for
the last arbitration selI-out, of
which Lewis complained Of double
dealing, saying that when he had
left the arbltrators at II o'clock one
night with tentative acceptance
Of certain minimum awards to be
granted the miners, these awards
had been cut in two before the next
morning when the final judgment
of the "arbitrators" was made pub
lie. He insinuated that the oper-
ators had brought influence to bear
on the arbitrators over night.
Now, say the miners, Lewis talks
of the great services rendered by the
governor two years ago" The miners
are bitterly opposed to arbitration and
il Lewis accepts any compromise OF
their demands they will condemn
both traitors and arbitrator.
To rouse the strikers of the an
thracite to a realization of the dan.
gers they face of betrayal and to rally
them for determined struggle for vic
tory the Progressive Miners Com
mittee is announcing series of mass
meetings turnout the anthracite region
Of which the following is a partial
