C. , MI-NERS PIAN TIE UP OF COAL INDUSTRY Y I Programk Provides that not a Pon11141 of Coal .Will be Mned After April - the First. Cleveland, 0., Mlarch 24.-A com - plete tic up of the nation's entire coal Industry by 200,000 non-union miners Joining the solid 'anks of a half mil lion union workers wa sthe program Y adopted tonight -by the general policy committee of the United 'Mine Workers 0 of America for the nation-wide strikc - set for April 1. By a unanimous vote of its 115 m0m t hers, the committee aflirmed the pol I. cy of a general suspension of union worke rs, which prohibited the col summation of single state agreements e and followed this by directing district r union ollicials to ask all non-union men -to join the strike. The unanimity of action late in the day permitted a 1inal adjolt riment tonight, 'although the committee had l.'Aanndc( to con tintue sessions tomorrow. The resolution for an immediate call to the non-union men also pro vided that the "international and dis trict uiions exert all their powers ani influence to 'bring about a strike in the ion-union coal fields of America." The resolution was offered by Van Bittner of Pittsburgh, 'Pa., who rep rehened the provisional Kansas unll ion orga nization at the committee jueeting, and it was a(lopted 'without objectionl and practically Without dis cussion. The indorsement of the policy of a general suslpesion of the union mn I er was the committee's acceptance of the program laid down by the un lonl's convention a month ago, the suspension being ordered with the avowed purpose of gaining wage in creasts for anthracite miners and re taining ipresent -basic wages for -the soft coal workers. Although taking action, >which the union leaders said they hoped would stop the mining of a pound. of coal 'after April 1, the committee declared itself as not intending to cause any public suffering. In line with this stand, the committee authorized the district union officials to permit any mine to be operated whenever neces sary to meet an emergency.' Under this program the officials said it would be possiblie to supply fuel for public utilities and institutions when ever the .big stocks now on hand run low. The aim of the strike, it was ex plained in this connectioti, was to prevent the mining of commercial coal as a me'ans of forcing operators to concede the union's wage demands. In addition, tile committee also affirmed- the provision of the strike all providing for all necessary pro ection being given to the mines dur ing the strike. The only condition, added by the colmittee, iwas that firemen, engineers, puImpmen and others who will reigain at work shall receive the present scale of wages. Then thousand mien, it was estimated, would remain at the mines unl1der this provision, hutt the selection of these was left to (district union officials. ii AIlBI N URGES INFLUENCE AN OIIEDIENCE TiO LAW canl render' no hligher service at this time thani to pult forth its ultmfost in fluence in blehalf of 'frank and will inig obeCdienlce to tihe law of the land," Prcsident lharding (declaredl tonight in an address before tile Bible class of Calvary 'l3htist Church. No news ilaperC corresponldenlts wter'e admitted to tile church, but tile -President's address Iwas made plici fromh the Whlite Hlouse. Without giving too much we'ighit to alarmiist expressions11, tile 'President saidi, "we must nieverthleless recognize thlat there' is a.vuery 'appiarent tendcency to0 a lighlter and 1mor1 frivolous 'view of the citizen's relations to both the state an~d thle chlur'ch." If p~eople who are known as leaders, lhe add~edl, be come 'known for' thleitxdeflance of some l'awv, they need nIOt .be astonished ii thleir' examiple is follow~ed by others. At anlother -Point Mr. iHarding dis cussed "tile loose -talk nowvadays about tile cause of .thle spiritual dlemoraliza tion of 'the community" and~ deel'ared it could not'be -iaidi entir'ely to tile 'war, but 'to a tendency blefore thlat per'iodl toward "a certain1 mor~al laxity, a s'hift inig of standards, *a weakening of thec ster'ner fbbers." In his exIcerienee of a year' in the Whitel-House, lta said, "there has conic to me no ethel' such uniwelcome im pression as th'e manifesti'eligious tin tolerance Whiech exists among many of our citizens." "I hold( it -to be a menace -to the very liberties we sboast And cherish," he asermted. 'Declaring his5 belief in the 'part which religious reverence has playidl in Amel/ican' &chievements, the P'resi dent added: "If I were tQ. utter a prayer ;for ths .republic ton1ght; it would be 't reconseerate us in religious devotion, and m'ake us a'bidingly a God-fearing, G.iod-loving people." l oo i~J.ef1'dgers, Etc.
