Secretary of Labor Wilson
Shows Impossibility.
i
THREE PLANS PRESENTED
Miners and Operators to Decide on
Course to I5e Pursued In Con
ference Negotiations.
WASHINGTON', N'ov. 14. Demands
of coal miners for a 30-hour week
and a 60 per cent Increase in wages,
and an unyielding position by the
operators, alike were declared "im
possible" by Secretary Wilson in open
ing today the conference called to
bring peace to the bituminous coal
fields of the nation. To obtain this
peace the secretary proposed three
plans of procedure.
Declaring that the Washington
wage agreement still is legally in
force, Mr. Wilson told the operators
and miners that the people of the
United States are not "Shylocks" and
do not want to exact "the technical
provisions of a bond when the condi
tions under which the bond was made
have changed.". He added that "if
any great change is made in the con
tracts the people of the United States
are the ones who will have to pay,"
and throughout his remarks em
phasized the public interest in the
coal settlement.
The three proposals expected to
aid the two factions In arranging
the new wage agreement were set
forth by the secretary as follows:
First, negotiation through joint
wage scale committees representing
all districts.
Second, negotiation concurrent ses
sions of committees from the various
districts, and
Third, negotiation first of an agree
ment in the central competitive field
and then of agreements of other fields
with that of the central district as
a. basis.
After hearing Secretary Wilson the
conference adjourned until tomorrow
to permit the miners and operators
to discuss separately the plan which
would be most acceptable to each.
Indication of a conflict on the scope
of the agreement to be negotiated in
volving the question of recognition of
non-union workers developed at the
outset of the conference and became
more apparent in the two group meet
ings which followed.
lioth miners and operators asserted
tonight that Secretary Wilson's ad
dress would have a powerful effect in
bringing closer together the extremes
of both eides. The secretary's ad
dress, heard by approximately 250
members of the conference in eilence,
was delivered slowly and apparently
with deep feeling and conviction.
Union iHsues DiMcuMMed.
Discussion in the miners' confer
ence which followed the conference
eession hinged on the question wheth
er operators representing both union
and nonunion fields would be included
. in the conference and the effect any
agreement reached by the conference
might have in those fields where the
miners do not have contracts with the
operators.
Although officers of the United
M ine Workers refused to make any
statement following their meeting, it
was learned that the plan for a nation-wide
conference was favored, but
before any proposal is agreed to. Sec
retary Wilson will be asked to make
clear to the conference that the rights
of organized labor are to be pro
tected in those districts where the
mining unions are not recognized by
n:e coal companies.
l ne operators, however, did not
look with favor on an agreement cov
ering all fields. The Washington
wage agreement, for the first time
the operators asserted, fixed the same
date for the expiration of contracts
between miners and operators in all
parts of the country. Fear of the
power this arrangement gives the
workers to bring about a nation-wide
strike wss expressed by the oper
ators, who indicated a desire to re
turn to the old plan of basing all
wage scale contracts on the agree
ment reached in the central competi
tive iieios.
Mine Owners Confer.
Owners of mines outside of the cen
tral competitive fields conferred be
fore the opening of the conference
and oposition was expressed to par
ticipation in the negotiations.
uwing to the likelihood of pro
tracted discussion on the scope of th
conference before even the demands
of the miners are brought into issue,
many predicted that the session might
continue for several weeks.
DENVER, Nov. 14. More than
score of independent mines in both
northern and southern Colorado were
in operation today for the first time
since the nation-wide walkout started
' October 31.
McALESTKR, Okla.. Nov. 14. Not

DES MOINES. Ia., Nov. 14. Union
ized coal mines in Iowa remained idle
today, but there were reports that
both miners and operators' expected
to see the men begin to return to
work Monday.
CHEYENNE, Wyo, Nov. 14. Seven
teen thousand coal miners in Wvo
ming are to return to work at once
following a satisfactory settlemen
of the controversy between union
leaders and the operators here late
today. The terms of settlement pro
vide the men are to return to work on
the wage scale adopted later for use
in the central competitive field.
CHARLESTON. W. Va., Nov. 14
i nree unauthorized striKes were pre
venting miners from . returning to
work in 10 coal mines in the Kanawha
field today.
More than GOO miners in the Littl
Coal River district were said to b
"in open rebellion" against their
leaders, closing six mines, and, ac
cording to the report, preventing
other miners from working.
Milburn and Ramadge miners vote
to stay away from the mines until
a new wage agreement 'had been
signed. .
From other districts reports reache

were slowly returning to work an

union mines were in operation.

TIRE 'CHAINS'
Because they can't afford to take chances
and because, with Weed Chains, they
get greater mileage out of their tires.
It's a business proposition, pure and simple, with ,
taxicab companies. They use Weed Chains for
economy and accident insurance.
The main incentive for the use of Weed Chains is
the accident'preventing feature a most' important
factor as it means the saving of lives and property.
But further than that it is known from bitter and
costly experience that the continual, constant and
yet hardly perceptible slipping of the rubber tire'
surface on wet roads and pavements only the foot
or so of lost traction at a time is an alarming
expense item wearing out tires just the same
as if you pressed them against a rapidly revolving
grindstone.
Taxicab companies have learned from experience that
only by the use of' Weed Chains can this continuous
wear on tires be prevented. Their drivers are ordered
to put on their Weed Chains "at the 'first drop of
because or the thousands upon thousands of
dollars that are thus actually saved every year in tire
service and the elimination of skidding accidents.
Wouldn't it be well for you to learn wisdom from
the fellow who really knows ?
Be as wise as the taxi driver and always put on
your Weed Chains "at the first drop of rain."
Weed Chains are also made to meet the demand for an
efficient traction and anti-skid device for trucks equipped
with single and dual solid tires or with the very large
pneumatic tires. They are so constructed that they satis
factorily meet the requirements of heavy truck service in
mud, sand or snow.

Majority of Miners Expected to Re
port for Resumption of AVork
on Monday.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 14. (.Spe
cial.) Coal operators, eatisfied that
the mines of this state will not be
able to reopen before Monday, and
confident that the bis majority of
their men will return at that time.
today devoted their attention to final
preparation for rushing coal to the
consumers as oon as the collieries
begin producing.
Reports to the principal operators
and to railroad officials indicated that
comparatively few urgent demands
for coal are on file, and it is believed
from this fact that the majority of
consumers have supplied their needs
for the present at least.
If this condition proves to be true.
coal operators say that the coal that
will begin coming from the mines
next week will find its way naturally
to those consumers who. having been
warned by trying experience, wish to
stock up for the rest of the winter.
It is believed by the operators that
the coal will move promptly, but
there is no danger, it is believed, of
a scramble or of overstocking in many
instances.
Operators have no means of know
ing how many of the old men will
return to work next week, but all ex
cept the radicals are expected to go
back to the mines. It is anticipated
that some of the radical element will
stay out. and it even is possible in
some districts that the radicals will
attempt to dissuade other miners from
going back to work. However, this
movement is not expected to be
serious.
' As matters now stand, operators as
sert, the organized miners have in
structions from their national and
district officers to return to work,
and if they persist in remaining idle
they will have to do so without the
approval of their organization. This
would place the radicals upon an in
dividual footing and it is not be
lieved they could long keep up such a
protest.
