L WIS PRAISES
ANTHRACITE
INDUSTRY
Mine Workers Head Holds
Hard Coal Operators Up as
National Employer Models

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The
Pennsylvania anthrocite industry
was held as a model for America
by John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers OF
America, last night, when he
spoke before the first annual
banquet of the Anthracite Club
of New York.
The banquet was attended by
nearly 1000, and was called by
anthracite leaders the biggest
gathering of it's kind in the his
tory of the industry.
Lewis, who was the principal
speaker, praised the anthracite
operators for their action in con-
tinuing the present wage levels
and working conditions Of the
miners in a five-year agreement
made last August, at a time
when, Lewis pointed out, a turn
for the better was nowhere in
prospect.
He declared the nation had
been thrown into reverse gear by
the attacks on wages, in many
cases made by industrial leaders
who had pledged themselves to
the contrary.
Contrasts Fields
Conditions in the anthracite
field were contrasted to those in
the bituminous mines. Lewis re-
called the price slashing war that
began in 1924, when new bitumi
nous operators repudiated wage
contracts with the United Mine
workers of America in order to
reduce prices, and said that today
the capital resources of more
than half the industry had been
entirely exhausted and the as
sets of over half the remaining
companies we're seriously I'M
paired. He said:
''The bituminOus coal industry
in Indiana and Illinois, the. two
States north of the Ohio River
which have continued their rela-
tionshipS, while suffering iii
common with all other indus
tries, are nevertheless in far bet
ter condition both as regards
capitaI resources, labor eff
cheney and human welfare than
the coal industries of those re,
gions where feudalism and
virtual slavery have been re-
stored"
Hits Soviet Dumping
Lewis spoke of problems in the
anthracite field-the dumping OF
Russian anthracite, competition OF
other fuels, and changed Amerl-
can living conditions as they al
feet anthracite fuel, He declared:
"In the case of the dumping
OF RUSSIAN auGHTdClLC' PIOuuSCN
by conScript labor and sold at
huge loss in American markets
by a nation so bent on filling
it's own wants from it's own re-
sources as to levy tariff of S35
the pair on American-made
shoes, it becomes so obviously
the duty of the American Gov,
ernment to stop it's importation
that comment is unnecessary"
