ENDING OF HARD
COAL SITTINGS
SEEMS CERTAIN

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. a.
Early collapse of the conference be-
tween representatives of the anthra-
cite miners and operators, who have
been meeting here for three weeks
considering the miners demands for
increased wages, was foreseen today
as the result of the demand of John
L. Lewis, international president Of
the Mine Workers, that the operators
end their shadow boxing" and send
representatives empowered to act.
Unofficial word reached here from
Samuel d. Warmer, chairman of the
operators committee, who is at Lam
caster, Pa, that the personnel of the
operators committee would not be
changed.
This was regarded here as meaning
that the conference would break up
soon after the next session, scheduled
for next Tuesday, reconvenes. Lewis
is declared to be determined to end
the sessions here unless the operators
send Representatives who will not
have to report back to higher officers.
A strike call is certain to go out,
it was reported here, in the event the
negotiations are broken off, 1t is
believed, however, that the federal
government will step in and attempt
to bring about a settlement immediate
ely if such action is taken. And Lewis,
in that case, would again betray the
miners by giving in, it is thot
Union leaders have accused the
operators of desiring strike so that
surplus coal stocks may be worked
off" at famine prices. The operators,
however, have denied this and coun-
tered the miners charged with a sug.
gestion that the miners continue to
operate the mines pending decision
of outside arbitration.
The present wage agreement will
expire at the end of this month. AT
the present there appears no pro
spects of new contract being signed
before September 1.

to Sorderberg stating that the ques-
ton of labels was not at issue at ali
in the case. 1t was a question OF
scabbing, he said. Fitzpatrick, com
menting on Green's reference to the
history of the conflict between the
two unions, said that the Chicago Fe-
deration of Labor, obeyed the order of
the A. F. of l.. to disaffiliate $4,000
garment workers who broke with
Rickert from the local body. "And we
will continue to obey the orders OF
the American Federation of Labor and
to follow its policy no matter where
that policy may lead u.s." he said.
Delegates With Amaiaamateo
There was no question where the
majority of the delegates stood on the
matter. They are against union
strikebreaking. 1t is equally clear
that the Amalgamated strikers would
be unwise to rely much on the assist
ance they may expect to receive from
officials like Fitzpatrick and Nockels
who give lip service to the cause of
honest trade unionism yet are willing
to follow a rotten policy mo matter
where it leads"
Edward Nockels finally moved the
previous question and Green's letter
was referred to the executive com
mittee.
Several local unions, having Offices
in the Federation Building we're de-
clared in arrears with rent, some OF
them for over three years.
The delegates stood in silence for
one minute in memory of John Sulli-
van Of the Flat Janitors' Union, who
died recently.

next convention of the Illinois Fedora,
ton OF Labor will be held at the next
meeting and elections will take place

still harder over the soggy turf.
Opportunity knocked at the portals

chances for victory faded.s For the
Kansans, but one real scoring chance
came their way, and they likewise

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. with a
water-soaked muddy field making fast
play impossible, the Arkansas Univer-
sity Porkers, and the Southern Meth
odist University Mustangs battled to a
scoreless tie here this afternoon be-
fore a crowd of less than 1000.
The play of the Porkers. which at
the first of the season, was but medic
ere, furnished another upset fol-
Southwestern conference dope, and
served to further complicatc the stand
ings OF the teams.
Each team had but one chance TO
score. In the first quarter, the
Ponies attempted drop-kick from the
25-yard line. In the third quarter
Arkansas attempted n place-kick from
their 25-yard line, but it, too, went
wild.
With these two exceptions, the play
was mostly in midfield, with both
sides punting frequently. The Ponies
outcharged the Porkcrs, but were I'M
able to gain consistently.

The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the Armistice Day automo-

Road Speedway believe that the
steady rain of the last several days is
exactly what the doctor ordered. Since
the sun came out Saturday morning
they figure it will have just the right
amount of time to dry out the track
and leave it lightning fast.
The track will be scraped and roll
ed preceding the races in order to
make it as smooth as possible. This
will be done so that those contestants
making a special effort to break the

In order to do this and to cop the
special prize offered, they will be
forced to travel faster than 100 miles
