Indianapolis, lnd Marsh 12. John
Mitchell, head of the United Mine
workers of America, today called to
to order the last national convention
over which he will preside, and one
which may go down In labor history
as the most Important. The delegates
will consider the grave situation re
sulting from the failure of the opera
tors and miners of the central com
petltlve field to agree ,m t!(, proposi
tlon to call a Joint convention to re
esiaousn tne interstate wage agree
ment and adopt a scale of wages. The
convention will adopt a policy to be
pursued after March 81, when the
present wage scale expires, and prob
ably will decide upon Its wage de
mands for the next two years.
There probably will be only three
policies considered at the convention.
The first will be to proceed at once
to frame the wage demands, and hav
ing completed that tank, to Issue a
call for a Joint wage conference be
tween operators and miners of In
dlana, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania
and Illinois, opening the door to any
or all operators w!io wish to sign tht
scale demanded and put their mines
Into operation. The second proposition
will be to draft wage demands and 1b-
su calls for Joint wage conferences
with the operators by districts. The
third proposal will be to shut down
all of the mines In one big strike, and
thus try to force settlements by com
petitive districts.
A strike means a long, lasting fight
with the operators and If the miners
win they will demand much more than
they Intended to ask had an interstate
conference been held now. A suspen
sion merely means that the men will
await the operators' pleasure before
the starting of the mines.
Ugly charges about the motives ol
the operators In refusing to convent
with the miners are being made.
President Mitchell openly declare
that the action of the operators ap
pears to mean that they are trying to
stimulate a sagging coal market.
"They are doing this," said President
Mitchell, "by either talking or making
-is strike or they really Intend to make
us strike."
A statement Issued by President
Mitchell says:
"It Is a source of keen regret to mr
that the coal operators have refused
to respond to the -overtures of the
niners to now an Interstate confer
nco for the purpose of trying to ad-
Vst wage relations prior to the ex
piration of the present contract. I'
appears to me that ther will be a
suspension of coal mining in the cen
tral competltve fields on April 1. The
iilnera have made repeated proposi
tions looking to a conference for the
urpose of reaching an agreement.
The situation to me looks verv serl.
II8."
A strike would mean thnt 212,000
men would quit work. 160.000 of these
helng In the central competitive field.
