Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, said: "The coal miners are opposed to arbitration. It Is a fad. In the opinion of the miners, based upon experience, arbitration as exem plified by the selection of a third party to a dispute who is supposed to be impartial, but who knows nothing about the question in dispute, never settled permanently a labor contro versy. The Penn. tvania Railroad contin ues to reduce its working force, and it it said that the number laid off will reach 23.000. It is understood that this step is in preparation for a re duction in wages. The cause bf the last lay-off was the dissatisfaction felt by old employes, who had been work ing on half time since last fait These have been put on full time and the dif ference made up by discharging newer hands.
