WILKES BARRE, Pa, Oct. 2s.-
The test of the anthracite miners
came Saturday when rumors we're
spread that the operators offered a
five percent increase in wages and
some sort of a check-off.
Word spread like wild fire and
was on the lips of all the miners.
II is not known where the report
originated, but both sides, the oper-

It is the opinion of some Of the

measures to aid the strikers:
John L. Lewis, President
United Mine Workers of America,
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dear Sir: We anthracite miners
have been on strike now for two
months. We have been doing our part
to make the bosses give in to our de
mands for wage increase, better
working conditions, and full recogni.
ton of the union. We do not think
that you have done your part to help
us in this strike.
What would you think, Mr. Lewis.
of a man who was fighting three or
four thugs who were trying to beat
him into submission, voluntarily using
only one arm in the fight. 1t would
lock more as if he were playing
rather than fighting. That's the kind
of fighting we have been making
against the coal operators.
We have come out of the mines,
given up the work thru which we earn
our living, in order to make the bosses
pay us better, give us better working
conditions, and full recognition to our
organization. We know we are up
against hard fight and that the coal
bosses will not give up part of their
profits without fighting to the bitter
end. They are not going to give us
the means for a higher standard of
life, thru increasing our wages. and
better working conditions, without
fighting to the last ditch.
Yet we have been careful to safe
guard the interests of the bosses while
we suffer the misery and privations
which a strike means to us. We left
part of the members of our unions
in the mines in order to safeguard the
interests of the bosses. We are pro-
tecting the bosses property altho they
are starving US in order to force US
to submit to their terms.
That's like using one arm to fight
three or four thugs who are attackingl
you, Mr.. Lewis. It's playing at fight
ing in place of making a real fight to
win.
We demand, Mr.. Lewis, that you
call out the maintenance men and
make it real strike to force the
bosses to yield to our demands.
We are against helping the bosses
while they starVe US into submits

We are in this fight, Mr.. Lewis. be-

We demand, Mr. Lewis, that no

Brit0n Film Business
Grave Concern of Celebrities

London, Aug. 20 CAP by maiD -
England's poet laureate, Robert
Bridges. is among many prominent
men of the country who are greatly
concerned over the decline of the
British film industry. A circular
letter explaining the present condi-
ton and hopeless outlook of the NOV
les has been issued principally for
the Members of Parliament, warning
the nations legislators that govern
ment action is necessary if England
is to make any pictures at all
The letter bears the signature of
Mr.. Bridges, Lords Carson, Riddell
and Burnham, Gordon Selfridge. j.
X. Clynes and Thomas Hardy.
The authors Of the letter believe
that the government should institute
committee to inquire into the con-
ditions of the industry and princi-
pally with the idea of keeping out
foreign films until British films have
chance to develop. The letter
reads:
The present position and future
prospects of the film industry in this
country have become matters of
grave national concern.
The production of films occupies
an important place in the industrial
life of several other countries and
gives employment to large numbers
of people.
I'VE have in Great Britain approx
lmately over 1000 cinema theatres
and halls where pictures are shown
and 1t is estimated that 100000 at
tend the pictures each week, while
the yearly receipts amount to about
thirty millions sterling. Yet it is a
Illuminating fact that of the pictures
exhibited not five percent are of Brit
ish production, all others having
their origin abroad, mainly in the
United States, although quite recent
ly Germany has come forward as a
serious competitor with the Amer
leans in the production of what are
known as super films.
What is the explanation Of this
state of things which we venture to
describe as deplorable? 1t is pre-
cisely because there is as yet no au-
thoritative reply to this question that
we are venturing to address you and
to make a public appeal to the Prime
Minister to institute an inquiry and,
at the same time, permit Judgment
to be formed as to the measures
which should be taken to establish
film industry in this country on a
sound foundation"
