THE BEE : OMAHA, " THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1919. STRIKE OF COAL MINERS FINALLY DROUGHT TO END Union Executives Accept Plan Of President and Order Workers to Return to ' Mines at Once, (CMtbtaed From Pf OnO Contracts of employment then exist ing; an4 it is confidently 'expected that the mine owners will accede to the government's earnest request that the atatus ono of October 31 be promptly re-established in order that peaceful relations between employer and employe in alt parts of the nun ing fields may be immediately re sumed. I am askin? the governors of all coal mining states to co-operate ia the effort to bring this about." Operators Talk. Expressing gratification that the strike was ended, a statement was given out tonight by local operators that had been obtained by long dis tance telephone from the executive committee of the National Bitum inous Coal Operators association in Washington. Two statements were given out by the international official or the min ors, am nf them ha vino- hpn nr. m Hired rtnrino- the meeting this after noon to announce the decision. The other statement was dictated to newspaper men by Acting President Lewis. Mr. Lewis' statement declared that the action of the genera com mittee was taken with conscious ness of the responsibilities of the miners to the nation diiring "this acute industrial! crisis and firm in the conviction that the word of the pres ident of the United States will se cure for the miners just considera tion of their merited claims." He stated that the international conven tion of the miners would be recon vened in Indianapolis and a supple mental explanation given the dele gates from all of the 4,000 locals. Loyalty Demonstrated. Mr. Lewis declared that the action taken today should "demonstrate to the people of our country that the United Aline Workers are loyal to our country and believe in the per petuity of our democratic institu tions. No greater demonstration of such fact could be given than our action in accepting the proposal of the president of the United States." The statement given out at the adjournment of the conference an nounced the decision reached and stated that it was based on the defin ite and concrete provisions in the president's clan. It broueht out that l!itv commission to be appointed to hx upon a just wage scale and prices for coal wilt have power to settle in ternal questions peculiar to each dis trict and declared this feature "of very great importance to the min ers." It was explained that differ entials in wages in some districts has been a subject of controversy for many years. The statement also brings out that "neither the oper ators nor the miners will be, allowed to change the basis and no discrim ination by the operators will be per mitted." Drop Contempt Charges. Attorney General ,Palmer, who came to Indianapolis primarily to advise attorneys for the government in their handling of contempt pro ceedings against 84 officials of the mine workers who form the gener al committee, will leave Indianapolis tomorrow morning. He expects to spend a day at French Lick Springs. "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue! Remove poi . :ns from stomach, liver and bowels.

It was indicated tonight that the charges of contempt, hearing of which was postponed until Decem ber 16, when it came up in federal court Tuesday morning, wiU not be pushed. The government already had intimated that acceptance of the president s plan by the general com mittee would be considered compli ance with the courts injunction against furtherance of the strike and witnesses subpoenaed to appear De fore the federal grand jury called for last Monday to investigate charges of violation of the Lever act and anti-trust laws by both min ers and operators, were discharged today. It was stated that this did not mean that the investigation would be dropped but that the grand jury session, which wa postponed Ulllll lli-M y, miitjuj , held as scheduled and witnesses re called. Government Officials Pleased Strike Is Over Washington. Dec 10. Expres sions by government officials of sat isfaction and relief at the settlement of the nationwide strike oi Diiunn nou9 coal miners were coupled to night with warnings to the Amer ican people that early relaxation ct the drastic restrictions on the con sumption of coal must not be ex pected. Fuet Administrator Garfield on re ceipt of word that the miners in Indianapolis had agreed to accept President . Wilson's proposal, de clared that immediate removal of regulations on solf coal consump tion was not to be considered. Director General Hines, in a for mal statement, asserted that dislo cation created by the strike could not me remedied instantly. The public, Mr. Hines said, will be ex pected to continue conserving coal until normal conditions are restored but just as soon as practicable re strictions will be rescinded or mod ified. Embargo Will Continue. "As a preliminary to bringing back normal conditions." said the director general "coal mined will be allowed to run as billed except the tidewater and export embargo will continue; orders placed for coal to western regions from Pocahontas and Allegheny regions will be can celled, but coal billed on these or ders prior to the cancellation will be permitted to go and be expedited so that those cars can be promptly released for mines." The railroad administration, Di rector General Hines announced, would aid in meeting" the needs of other consumers by reducing its supply to a 10 days' margin. The administration has been maintain ing a 15 days' supply. Commission to Start Work. While these two government agencies directly concerned witn distribution of the available supply of bituminous coal which it is es timated has been cut 36,000,000 tons by the strike were issuing their warnings, White House officials in- i dicated that steps would be taken immediately to carry out the pro visions of the president's proposal relating to investigation of wages and working conditions in the bitu minous coal fields by a commission of three. In fact it was intimated the president already had practical ly decided on the appointments to the commission and was awaiting only the. return of Attorney General Palmer from Indianapolis before announcing their names. Operators from all of the larger bituminous fields of the country, who have been gathered here await ing developments from the miners' meeting in Indianapolis, issued statement tonight in which they said: Operators' Statement. "We are pleased that the miners have voted to return to work and that the public can be promptly sup plied. Realizing the imperative need of coal in large quantities, the op erators stand ready now, as in the oast, to bend all their energies to ward a maximum production, begin ning at once. , CONVENTION OF 6.0.

He did not strike. He did not lockout. He did not organize to de feat the ends of justice or thwart the operations of the economic law.

But with all this he has not been blind to the ends to which he is being driven by the forces that ignore his interests and organize against him. Treat Farmer Fair.

"What has the oresent national ad ministration done to cive the farmer relief? Very little, and for nearly everything that it has tried to do, its uneconomical economies uu yiv dneed a worse condition.

Tn the vote on the convention city Chicago mustered a strength which apparently surprised even its back ers. The only votes cast for St Louis were contributed by Ten nessee, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Georgia, Iowa, Texas, Missouri and Hawaii. It was explained by party leaders that the purpose of the special com mittee on policies was to overturn the usual practice of writing the party platform in a few all-night sessions of the resolutions commit tee at the convention. The new body, it was said, was not intended to supplant that committee, but was calculated to bring to it the result of six months of concentrated thought in which all elements of party opinion would be represented. Chairmen of the senate and congres sional campaign committees will take part in the work of the policies committee, which will include 12 members of the national committee and probably a score or more of others. Four Women 'Members. The same 12 committeemen will sit also on the new council, together with 12 others, four of whom will be women. The purpose of this body, it was said, was to deliberate on matters touching party welfare and to make recommendations to the national committee itself. , Two states will earn and five states will lose in the reapportionment of state representation in the national convention, which was based on a detailed system of ' calculation adopted at the last national conven- tion. The net result win oe a reduc tion of seven in the number of dele gates to vote in the 1920 convention, the total being 984 in place ot Wl in J916. The changes are as follows: New - York gains one, making the state's total in next year's conven tion 88; North Carolina gains one, makinsr 22: Alabama loses two, mak ing 14; Arkansas loses two, making 13; Massachusetts loses one, making 35: Tennessee loses one, making iV, and Texas three, making 23. Commend Ratifying Suffrage. On motion of Senator Smoot. committeeman from Utah, the com mittee adopted a resolution com mending the states which have rati fied the national woman suffrage amendment and urging that the oth ers do so in time to permit women to vote in all states in 1940.

The second committee comprises an equal number of national commit teemen and outside party leaders and will function as an advisory council in the conduct of the cam paign. The plan of Will H. Hays, the na tional chairman, for limitation of individual campaign contributions to $1,000 formally was approved and the committee announced some changes in the apportionment of delegates to the national convention. These changes were not of a sweep ing nature, however, and affected only seven states. Many Set Out for Hornet. After hearing a report of Chair man Hays and adopting a resolution approving his efforts tor party or ganization and harmony, the com mittee ended its session and many of the republican leaders who had come to Washington for the gather ing left for their homes. Of the several hundred prominent republicans who attended the meet ing, however, a large number re mained for the session to be held tomorrow by the state chairmen. Only questions of organization are expected to come formally before this meeting, but the partisans of various republicans mentioned for the presidency will continue the ac tive efforts which have kept the cap ital alive with gossip and conferences since Sunday. v Despite the committee meeting today the maneuvering of the friends of the various candidates was conspicuously in evidence, but the only result appearing on the sur face was a statement by Senator J. E. Watson, of Indiana, declaring e was not seeking the nomination and would not permit any personal ambition to interfere with party harmony. During the past few days a movement in his favor has been actively promoted and there was no evidence tonight that his sup porters had abandoned their effort Several Innovations.

Members of the Omaha Film Board of Trade met at the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday, and passed a resolution charging that the local fuel committee had discrim inated against the motion picture industry of the city. They declared that the film distribution industry, which they say is the fifth industry of the city, was almost entirely wrecked bv orders closing Omaha theaters and limiting their working day to an extent of making the ship ments of films to the large territory tributary to Omaha nearly impos sible.

"The reserve supply of coal is now about 20 per cent of normal and is not keeping pace with distri bution, which means that the reserve is gradually beinsr used." the com mittee reported. Further conserva tion is urged and until the dailv re ceipts are increased, there will be no relaxation ot enforcing the stnnsrent rules for conservation. Supply it Depleted. The committee further stated: "The situation has been explained to the regional coal director at Chica go, and the committee is also mak ing every possible effort to obtain more coal for these terminals, so that a reserve supply may at least be maintained. Continued cold weather and the hampering of trans portation have caused further deple tion of the reserve supply. Further conservation is necessary and the continued support of the public is urged in observing the rules. We have eight cars of oil here on track and are using two cars of oil a day, stated W. S. Robertson, assistant general manager of the Nebraska Power company. "The supply of oil is improving. We have 20 cars of oil reported in transit.
