ASK FEDERAL i ATTENTION TO COALMINING Miners Back Up Their National Officers in Appearing Before House Committee to Urge Reorganization. READY TOWGOTIATE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 7. Minersunion representatives now on strike In central Pennsylvania backed up their national officers today In appearing before the house labor committee to urge' federal attention to the industry. "Our belief Is that an Indnstrv which gives only 100 days' work a 1 . year, needs a reorganization." Presi dent John Brophy, of District 2. United Mine Workers testified. "To get this we must have the facts ascertained by an impartial federal commission which will sit in the case of coal. "Restrictions are such that practices as to the opening of new mines by shoestring speculators' was said by Mr. Brophy to be desirable because there are not too many mines and too many miners. Mr. Brophey took issue with T. II. Watkins, a Pennsylva nia operator, who testified before thcommittee yesterday as to wages. "Approximately 31,000 miners in ctnral Pennsylvania last year earned $14.61 a week or $2.08 a day for the year because there was hardly two days of work a week for them," Mr. Brophy asserted. Ready to Negotate. Charman Nolan asked if the union stood ready to negotiate with the operators generally. The witness replied the statement of John L. Lewis, president of the Mine Workers' union before the commitee to the effect that he would negotiate could stand for all of its members. The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow when A. L. Gould, of the Indiana Operators' association will be heard. Attorney General Dauehertv. in a I letter to Representative Bland. Repubjlican. Indiana,-a member of the com"JLlcJ "uica was reaa. into ine record jesieraay, intimated tnat the mineowners would face no nrosecution a flt to tix aBe in the Industry on tne Dasis or a central field agreement. ; Mr. Daugherty stated that he considered it was the duty of the operators and miners- to hold such negotiations and asked if after taking that position it was "likely that the department of justice would undertake a prosecution." INDIANAPOLIS, April 7. The first week of the nation wide suspension of work in the coal mines, ordered by the United Mine Workers of America, ended today and was marked at union headquarters here by William Green, secretary-treasurer, asserting that the "strike is gaining strength in nonunion fields," particularly in central Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He said, however, he had no detailed ligures, adding that reports from t'e coal field were going direct to President John Lewis, at New York. "Not the slightest suggestion of a change' in the situation is apparent, and none is to be expected until the operators meet the union in a conference and a wage scale is workeu out," declared Mr. Green. NEW YORK, April 7. Statements defending bituminous coal operators in refusing to negotiate a central agreement with the miners union made by T. H. Watkins, a bituminous mine operator of Pennsylvania, before the house labor committee at Washington yesterday were attacked here today by John L; Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Mr. Lewis said Mr. Watkins' declarations "served merely to intensify the confusion and bitterness now existing." Mr. Watkins was quoted as having said that it would be "financial suicide" for operators to enter any agreement with the miners not based on conditions in each district that consumers have grown disgusted with the constant failure to get deliveries from unionized mines; that Mr. Lewis' testimony before the house body had been "very misleading" and that in the anthracite field "these labor lords have been guilty of an abuse of power in calling a strike when the mine owners were meeting their every call for meeting and negotiation." Lewis Replies To these charges Mr. Lewis replied: "Statements of Mr. Watkins were characteristic and typical of a policy which he has followed for some time. He is engaged in a factional quarret with the other operators of centra) Pennsylvania, the other faction being headed by Ben Clark. The loss of tonnage of which Mr. Watkins so bitterly complains, is largely due to a fierce competitive warfare with his competing rivals." ; The miners' chief declared that Mr. Watkins, for some time has been engage d in a frantic effort to destroy the relationship between operators and miners In Pennsylvania. His utter ances are dictated solely by his selfish

personal interests. ? "His testimony and his attitude are of a destructive nature and serve merely to intensify the confusion and bitterness now existing," asserted Mr. Lewis. "The reactionary attitude of such men is largely responsible for the abitrary attitude of coal operators in refusing to meet representatives of the mine workers and causing them to assume their indefensible policy of repudiating their contract obligations." Flays Separate Pacts Mr. Lewis answered Mr. Watkins plea for negotiation of separate wage contracts by districts when he said last night before the Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New (Continued on Page Thirteen) . .
