 Agitation by miners of southern Illinois for the right to negotiate separate wage agreements brought before the policy committee the question of whether changed condi- tions in the bituminous fields re- quired a modification of the union policy. The committee assembled July l 1 at the call of President John L. Lewis.
 In statement announcing the committees action Lewis said: "The committee conducted a comprehen- siNe review of conditions in all dis tricts of the bituminous coal indus try and canvassed the situation in various fields where strikes are in effect.

 As governor, the democratic pres ldentiaI nominee made 1t q practice 10 see reporters twice daily-evenlns papermen before noon and rep reSentatives Of morning papers late in the day. Now he has one press conference a day-usually shortly after noon-and he even holds them on Sunday as an accommodation to the correspondents

SCALE 0F
 WAGES DISCARDED
Union Miners Free to Negotiate
 as They Please

Indianapolis. July 19 P,-District officers of the United Mine Workers of America today were free to nego- tiate with coal operators on any mutually satisfactory" basis, pro- Nided all agreements shall be sub mittel to a district convention or referendum.
 Thus one of the basic principles of the union policy in the btuminous coal f"lds--the uniform wage scale for union miners. was discarded by a decision yesterday of the interna- tional policy in an attempt 10 cope with the depressed conditions in the country.
 With the abandonment of the base wage. the famous Jacksonville agree ment, which assured union members $7.5u per day and sl.NS per ton from 1924 10 1927, was dropped as no longer an effective basis for wage ne- gotiatlons. II was the expiration of this agreement April 1. 1927. which resulted in the present bituminous coal suspension.
 It was made plain, however. that pending negotiation of new agree ment5 the Jacksonville scale would prevail.
 The new union policy will affect about 150, ,O00 miners in the central competitive field twestern Pennsyl- vania. Ohio, Indiana and lllinois) and inc oltlNiOp districts of Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. Many of the miners in these fields have been idle since the suspension Is months ago.
 Hope was expressed in miners circles that the district agreements would result in resumption of opera tons. Indiana operators said they were ready to meet the miners in

The wage scale abandoned by the union yesterday had been in effect since 1920 when it was promulgated by federal coal commission ap- pointed by President Woodrow Will son. A strike by miners in 1922 when they were suffering from a slump in coal production and conse- auent loss of pay resulted in a two year renewal. The union struck again in 1924 and the three year Jacksonville agreement resulted.
 The Jacksonville agreement rep resented more tonnage than ever be- fore. the only mines left out were the non- union mines of eastern Ken
