KUUnnewt Emphatic. The president's statement follows: "On September 21. 1919. the con vention of the United Mine Workers of America, at Cleveland, Ohio, adopt ed a proposal declaring that all con tracts In the bituminous field shall be declared as having automatically expired November 1. 1919. and mak ing various demands including a CO per cent Increase In wages and the adoption of a six-hour work day and a five-day week; and providing that. In the event a satisfactory wage agreement should be secured for tne central competitive field before No vember 1. 1919. the national offi cials should be authorized and In structed to call a general strike of all bituminous miners and mine workers throughout the United States effective Noreraber 1, 1919. Strike Grave love. "Pursuant to these Instructions the officers of the organization have Is sued a call to make the strike effec tive November 1. This Is one of the gravest steps ever .proposed In this country, affecting the economic wel fare and domestic comfort and health of the people. It Is proposed to ab rogate an agreement as to wages which was made with the sanction of the United States fael administration and which was to run daring the continuance of the war. bat not be yond April 1. 1920. This strike Is proposed at a time when the govern ment Is making the most earnest ef fort to red see the cost of living and has appealed with success to other classes of workers to postpone simi lar disputes until a reasonable oppor tunity haa been afforded for dealing with the cost of living. It is rec ognized that the strike woald prac tically shut off .the country's supply or Its principal fuel at a time when Interference wllh that supply Is cal culated to create a disastrous fuel famine. All inerests woald be af fected alike by a strike of this char acter and -its victims wosld be not the rich only but the poor and the needy as well those lesst able to provide in advance a fuel supply for domestic use. It would involve the shutting down of countless industries and the throwing out of employment of a large number of the workers ot the country. It would Involve stop ping the operation ot railroads, elec tric light and gas plants, street rail way lines and other public ntUltles. sad the shipping to and from this country, thus -preventing our giving aid to the allied countries with s ap plies which they so seriously need. The country is confronted with this prospect st a time when the war It self is still a fact, when the world is still In suspense as to negotiations for peace, when our troops are still being transported and when their means of transport is in argent need of fueL v Plan Dratir. "From whatever angle the subject may be viewed, it is apparent that such a strike in such circumstances woud be the most far reaching plan ever presented In this country to limr it the facilities of production smd dis tribution of a necessity of life and those indirectly to restrict the pro duction and distribution of all the necessaries of life. A strike unde these circumstances is not only un justifiable, it Is unlawful. "The action proposed has apparent ly been taken without any vote upon the specific proposition by the In dividual members or the United Mine Workers of America throughout the United Slates, an almost nnprecedent ed proceeding. 1 cannot believe that any right ot any American laborer needs for Us protection the taking of this extraordinary step, and I act convinced that when the time and money are considered ft constitutes a fundamental attack, which is wrong both morally and legally, upon the lights of society and npa 'be weU fare of oar country.
