More Miners to Strike
In Non Union Field

Continued from Page One)
Powers Hapgood and many local
miners of Windber.
Miners from other parts Of coun-
ty attended meeting. representing
Boswell, Ralphton, Bell, Hooversville,
Garrett and asked speakers to or
ganize rest of the county. Very
likely spontaneous strikes will start
in other sections.
Key Position
The 1000 Berwind-W White miners
are at the gateway of Somerset Coun-
ty on the North.
AS Berwind- White goes so goes
Somerset county, it was said in 1922
when the union drove into the COM
pany's big operations in the north
of the county.
The Berwind-White men struck and
the strike then rolled on like snow
ball through the region till all the
men of the (Rockefeller) Consolida-
ton Coal Co., the Quemahoning Coal
Co. and the rest were out also.
To Build Union
The United Front Committee of
Windber miners which is leading the
present movement seeks to enroll
the men under the banner of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The leaflets issued by the United
Front Committee appeal to the min
ers as follows:
''NOw Is The Time
NOW is THE TINE to demand
your old wages Of $3.50 a day, $1.2S
ton pick coal, and Sc cents a ton
machine coal.
NOW is THE TINE to demand
pay for dead-worls and fair weight on
your coal.
NOW is THE TIME TO ACTi If
you wait until strike is settled it
will be too late. The company needs
you now because the coal market is
good and would not dare risk a strike,
if you organize and send commit
tee to present your demands of
UNION WAGES, PAY FOR DEAD
WORK and HONEST WEIGHT.

Evicting Unionists
COVERDALE, Pa-Eighteen miners
who have been most active members
Of the union received notices to move
out of the company houses within 10
days time. This Is the first step TAX
en- by the company in preparation for
the opening Of the mine under nom
union basis. The company is also
building temporary barracks appar-
emily for the purpose Of accommo-
dating the scabs which it intends to
import.
Picket Library Miners
The union has not yet decided upon
course Of action in connection with
the eviction notices. The Coverdale
mine is owned by the Pittsburg Ter
minal Coal Co., and was employing
several hundred men.
The miners Of Coverdale and vicin-
ity are engaging in picketing of the
Library mines which are located not
far from the town and which are
owned by the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
According to orders from the sheriff
no more than d pickets are allowed
at n time and these must not come
within one-half mile limit from the
scab mines.

cal Plans China War

WASHINGTON, April II. - The
perplexing question of what "mea-
sures" will be taken by the United
States and other foreign powers in
China to enforce the demands made
upon the Nationalists-in the event
the Nationalists' response to the
powers notes is unsatisfactory-oc
cupied the attention Of administra-
ton officials today.
China was again the most import
ant subject before the cabinet at its
regular Tuesday meeting.
Although the powers notes con-
cluded with a warning that unless
the Nationalist authorities demon
strate to the satisfaction of the in
terested governments their intention
to comply promptly with these terms,
the said governments will find them
selves compelled to take such mea-
sures as they consider appropriate"
There exists no agreement between
the powers upon q course of action,
it was stated here.
Britain Threatens BOmbardment.
In the absence Of joint agree
ment or policy, the belief prevails in
Washington that the powers will be
left free to take such measures" as
they individually deem appropriate.
Britain has already limited at nav
al blockade Of the treaty ports, and
reprisals in the way Of gun-fire upon
Chinese cities.

Denounce Coolidge Veto
In Strong Terms

CHICAGO, April 12.-The Confer

tional organization with headquarters
here, has sent a letter to Messrs.
Gabaldson and Gevara, resident COM
missioners of the Philippine Islands
in the United States, wherein they
state plainly that their organization
defies the government in its attitude
toward the Islands. They severely
censure President Coolidge for his
veto Of the Philippine request to vote
on the question Of independence and
add that eve stand with the Filipino
people and against the United States
government"
Rebuke Government.
The letter, addressed to the resi-
dent commissioners at the House Of
flee Building, Washington, D. c., fol-
lows:
my dear Commissioner:
81 have read with indignation the
message of President Coolidge We
toing the bill for plebescite of the
Filipino people ON the question OF
independence.
1--WE wish to say that we know
that the Presidents reason for not
allowing a vote, is that the vote
will go against him. We know this
latest repressive act is the culmina-
ton of whole series, pointing to
the preservation of American I'M
peTialist rule in the Philippine Is
lands. We know also that the Fill
Pine people are demanding their in
dependence. In the name of the
Conference for Filipino Independ-
ehee, an organization with local
committees in the large cities
scattered over the United States,
say to you that we stand with the
Filipino people and against the
United States government. All we
can do to further the immediate,
complete and absolute independence
of the Filipino people, we pledge
shall be done. Very sincerely
yours,
