C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1919 N.4 NATION'S COAL MUST REOPEN IMMEDIATELY SAYS UNCLE SAN Oftlclals Regard Immediate Action a Absolutely Imperative JOINT CONFERENCE TODAY Reports Show All Union Mines i1 Central Fields Are Shut Down Washington, Nov. 18.-The govern ment 'tepped to the front today t force miners and operators to nego tiate a new wage agreement and re sume. work in' the bituminous field before the country is in the grip o a coal famine. Clothed with all his war-tim powers as fuel administrator and act ing by direct authority of the Presi dent's cabinet. Dr. Harry A. Garfiel called a joint meeting of scale com 4-mittees at which he was expected t, give formal notice that the time ha, come to. resume mining operations 01 a normal scale. Absolutely Imperative. While the joint conference was se for this afternoon, Dr. Garfield founi that a. full attendance could not b obtained, so it went over until 'tomor row. Mean whi .e word was passe that the strie situation had reache that point where action was regardei by foderal authorities as absolutel; imperative. There was no evidence, as pre sented to the cabinet that the scal committees, called here last week t negotiate a new wage agreement ha made the least headway. Reports fron the central competitive fields, embrac ing the States of Illinois, Indiana Ohio and Western Pennsylvania strongholds of the United Mine Work era of America showed all mines shu down and nt enough coal comini from non-union plants in other state to meet the normal demands.-by sev oral millions tons. Other reports fro1 widely deparated sections brought th same story of a rapidly vanishing Con osupply, with indications that hundred of industrial plants would be force< to close shortly unless coal productioi wa sput back at normal. In the vies of many officials the situation wa .critical enough to demand drastic ac tion. Dr. Garfield Ready ALhough ha would not discuss th nature of the statement he was pre pared 'to lay before the operators an miners, it was said on high authori ty that Dr. Garfield was prepared t present the situation forcibly to the ief representatives of the mine own c..s and mine workers. There was ni intimation a ste what direction gov ernmental action would take in cas, the deadlock continued. Steps taken by Kansas to operat the mines under government authori ty, and fear by both sides that other S States would do likewise, were urge a strong 'reason for quick settle ment of all wage disputes. The operators' scale committee sen word to the miners that it was no :ready to meet them In joint sessiori .Commenting upon a statement issue< Stonight by their executive committe, denying that the conference "is be fin~ held up because of differences an< in ecisions on the part of the opera fora" spokesmen for the operators de cl ared their -entire policy has beei under consideration in' their s~eere session. Fall to Resume Work. The probable attitude of the admin istration and the fact that the miner; have not returned to work were sal< to be the principal subjects whicl hatve occupied their time. The fal lue of the United Mine Workers o America to tell the men to return t< tgeir jobs wvas said to have left the negotiations in virtually the sami B ate ats when the threat of a strik< sed the break up of the Bluffall meetinIg. Some of the operators held the viev that the governiment, acting througl Fuel Administrator Garfld, was "third party" to the contracts, anm that the wage scale laid down by th WVashing ton agreement could not b chang~ed without the authorizatIon o D)Marfield and assurances as t w ~ha1 echtinges would be allowed bi *maxhiun coal prices. Want .ines' Vlewii. Other operators wished to know th< views of the director general of rail roads, as the railroad administrati is the largest single purchaser o coal in the cotint~'y.
