LIU WARN OF BIG STRIKE Reports of Officers Hint Great Struggle. at WAGES -TO BE IMPROVED International Organization Has 515,243 Members and Large Fund for 1922 Coup. INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. II. Threat of a strike next year to obtain wage Increases for more than 600.000 coal mners, was seen today in the reports of International officers made to the convention of the United Mine Work ers of America. Philip Murray, vice-president, said I, was a foregone conclusion that the convention would declare In favor cf a fight not only to maintain but also to Improve the present wage scale which expires next March II. "With the traditional policlea of our great organisation forever In mind," said Murray. "I am sure that It Is the purpose of this convention to declare to the world that we propose rot only to hold what we have got. but to Improve upon the same, upon the expiration of the present agree ments. Annual Earnings Too Low. "The question may be asked why the United Mine Workers of America assume the attitude that not only do they propose to maintain their pres ent wage scale, but Improve upon the same when practically every other or ganisation In the United States has accepted big wsge cuts during the present year. We can only answer such questions by saying that for yeara the annual earnings of the mine workers have been considerably lower than that of men engaged In other lines of Industry. "Under our present wsgs scale, with the mines operating aa ther have been during normal times on an average of about 200 days a year, the day wage scale of $7.60 a day for day men and an average of about the same for ton nage men, our people cannot be ex pected to exceed in annual earnings the sum of $1600. It will be con sidered. I believe, by all fair-minded men that a wage scale that only en ablea the men engaged In the mining of coal to earn 11500 a year Is not an excessive one." Union 515.243 Strong. William Green, secretary-treasurer, reports that the membership of 615, 143 was the greatest numerical htrength ever achieved by the union. He also reported the union bad I486, 820 In available cash. Bealdea the financial and member sh'p report. Mr. Green discussed the general conditions affecting labor. "Pernicious propaganda against or ganised labor generally," declared Mr. Green, "has ben circulated through '.he press and other channels, while special onslaughts have been directed against the United Mine Workers of America. The Idealism which seemed to Inspire all classes of people during the war has disappeared. "The pendulum of reaction haa swung so far that In some communi ties the contest between organised labor and those who would destroy It, bas . asaumed the characteristics of a class struggle. Collective Bargaining Upheld. ' "Collective bargaining is now being defined by some courts as conspiracy and the expression of the commonly accepted right to withhold or confer patronage is classed aa a crime. A form of Involuntary servitude and forced service has been enforced by law against groups of workers in certain tradea. In some states, the exercise of the right to strike has been defined ss criminal and sub jected to both fine and imprisonment." Just before the noon adjournment, Lee Hall of Columbus, O.. chairman of the scale committee that will con duct negotiations with operators for the new agreement, told the conven tion that he wished It to be "distinctly understood that I am opposed to tak ing any reduction."
