BLAMES OPERATORS
FOR CONTINUANCE OF
HARD COAL STRIKE

Philadelphia. Nov. 24-(AP)-Con-
tinuance of the strike in the hard
coal fields was placed on the Shout
ders of the anthracite operators to-
night by John L. Lewis, president OF
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca.
Mr.. Lewis, who was the dinner
guest here last night OF Alvan
Markle, of Hazleton, chairman of the
joint wage conference of miners and
operators, declared that he had made
overtures for resumption of the
wage negotiations but that they had
been passed by the mine owners UNI
needed.
'gThe miners" said Mr.. Lewis, "in
a statement made public last week.
offered to resume negotiations for
new working agreement with the OPP
orators covering period of from one
to five years, provided the negotia-
tions would be amicable.
Several days later, the anthracite
operators committee met in the Rail-
road Club, New York. but at the con-
clusion of this meeting there was nc
answer to my statement. Monday
that same committee met in the Of
fee of Samuel D. Warmer and whe-
Their or not they discussed our pro-
posal, they did not respond. The
public is interested in knowing theii
attitude. Why don't we hear from
them?"
Interpreting his meaning of "amic'
able" negotiations, the miners lead
er said he would sit with the genera
wage scale committee of the miners
and the negotiating committee of the
operators to hear the fifteen demands
of the miners without passing judg,
ment on the demands until they were
fully presented. He said he took this
stand because of frequent references
by the operators that they would
consider nothing that would disturb
the factor of mine costs, which would
eliminate the request of the miners
for ten percent increase in wages.

A Truce in the Tong War.

1t now turns out that the On
Leongs and the Hip Sings have been
called off the warpath BY their re-
spective leaders, VINO appear to have
been actually impressed by the threat
of the New York police to hold them
personally responsible for any
further outbreak of the conflict. Mes
sages have been sent out from head
quarters to all the local tongs through
out the country canceling the declara.
ton Of war. The leaders have, of
course, continued to protest that there
has been no war, each side declaring
that the other has been breaking the
peace.
This, however, is only an armistice,
a truce. The tongsmen will not quit
quarreling merely because of prosecu-
ton threats. The. causes of the con-
fict lie too deep for that. The tongs
are well disciplined, but members
hundreds of miles away from Broad
way are likely to ignore the influence
of the police of New York with the
titular heads of the organizations.
There are private feuds mixed up
with the tong feuds, and these will
not be held permanently in abeyance
because some big chief is threatened
with prosecution if a gun cracks and
a Hip Sing or an On Leong crumples
to the sidewalk in some Chinatown -
Appeals have been made heretofore

differences to the courts, and 10 let
the law dispose of their quarTeis,

contract breakers. But the celestials
have always blandly refused to yield
They have not enough confidence in
the efficacy OF the judicial processes
of this land.
In view of the great prevalence Of
crime in this country, with American
citizens killing and robbing with
freedom, il is really somewhat anon
alous for the law agencies to hold as
hostages for good behavior of their
followers the leaders OF these Chinese
organizations, inasmuch as the tong
wars" are merely form of privat te
justice. Perhaps, however, with this
as an example, the prosecutors of the
law in our large cities may find a way
to stop organized crime by holding
personally responsible the known
leaders of criminal gangs.

l 80 80 s- ~.s.-
there IN now an exodus of miners
from the coal fields.
This, OF course, does not mean that
the miners will abandon their fields
permanently. They are simply closing
their houses and running off on vaca-
tions. Perhaps some of them can live
on the union doles from the strike
fund while on the road. "Tin can
ming" as this form of transit is now
called, is not particularly expensive.
Possibly some of these anthracite
tourists, If they get to Florida, will
stay there. There is no mining in
that State, but just at present it offers
opportunities for enterprise in the real
estate ffeld. Everybody is buying and
selling land. A boom is on and for
tunes are being made. 1t would not
be surprising to find some of the pick
and-shovel men from the hard-coal
fields turning into capitalists through
lucky strikes in the sand belt.
There will be plenty of miners, how
ever, when the whistle sounds for re-
sumption of work, whenever that may
occur. For there are many who can
not leave home. even for a fivver
trip.
