"The coal operators have not of

the miners waited in vain for any
counter proposal to be submitted by
the operators. ' During the confer
ence with Secretary Wilson at
Washington, we said many times
that we were willing to re-enter ne
gotiations with coal operators with
out reservations to conclude the
making of an agreement with them.
"The offer that we made was re
peatedly declined. The responsibil
ity for the stoppage of work in the
bituminous coal districts must neces
sarily lie with the coal operators."
"What right have you to ask so
large an increase in wages as 60
per cent," he was asked.
"Subject to Negotiations."
"Well, now we are willing to
stand on the merit of our proposal,"
jhe replied. "This 60 per cent in
crease is subject t negotiations, as
are other demands of the United
Coal Miners, but they will not even
negotiate.

Springfield, 111., Oct. 27. Ready
to leave Springfield early tomorrow
morning for Indianapolis to assume
active charge of the threatened
strike of soft coal miners, beginning
Friday at midnight, John L. Lewis,
acting president of the united mine
workers of America. declared to
night the strike order was still is
effect and that the 500.000 miners
in the bituminous field would wall:
out to a man, unless the operators
made concessions.
"The statement of President Wil
son opposing the strike has thus far
had no results so far as we are con
cerned." ' Lewis said. No word
reached him. he stated, from gov
ernment sources during the day.
Lewis expects to reach Indianapo
lis at 2:40 p. m. where he will make
preparations for the meeting Wed
nesday of the international execu
tive board. He said tonight he ex
pected no developments prior to
this conference.
Stories of Larg Pay Abroad.
Branding statements that coal
miners were earning $10 or $15 a
day as "absurd," Mr. Lewis Eaid
the average pay of miners in the
bituminous field for the year 191S,
which he declared was the best
.twelve months in mine workers' an
nals, was $1,22S a year. He de
clined to make a statement as to
what the maximum earnings of a
miner under favorable circumstances
might be. but said the earnings of
"day men" amounted to between
$4.25 and $5 a day. These include
traclf layers, drivers, mechanics and
laborers. Coal diggers, he admitted
can make more money than that.
He explained, however, that wages
for miners were curtailed by the
fact that mines operate on the aver
age of only three or fcur days a
week. This condition, he said, made
necessary a short day and week in
order to furnish continuous employ
ment as embraced in wage demand?
suggested by miners early in the
conferences. Other demands in
cluded CO per cent increases in
wages, time and a half for over
time, and elimination of the strike
penalty clause.
In a statement issued tonight, he
said, to clear up popular misappre
hensions about exactly what took
place in the joint conferences. Mr.
Lewis again placed responsibility
for the strike on the operators.
The statement follows:
"At the biennial convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
at Cleveland, September 9 to 23, at
tended by 2,04 6 delegates a wage
program and policy was outlined
and scale committees were selected
who were instructed to present de
mands to the operators.
"On September 25 at Buffalo, the
miners and operators met in joint
committee. The miners presented
their demands and were met by a
statement that the Washington
agreement had not expired because
the war was not ended and peace
had not been promulgated by the
president.
"No counter proposals were sub
mitted by the operators, who seem
ingly were determined avoiding
making a new agreement. This
committee adjourned for a week
and reconvened in Philadelphia on
October 9. where the same circum
stances obtained and sine die ad
journment took place on October 11.
"The miners insisted at all times
that they were ready to consider
demands from the standpoint of
merit alone. But consideration on
this basis was denied by the operators.
"The government in conferences
with operators and . miners last
week in Washington, endeavored to
secure a re-opening of negotiations.
The miners consented without reser
vation. The operators declined ex
cept under conditions which rend
ered negotiations impossible."
