COAL MINERS ON "VACATION" At Least 60,000 Workers in Anthracite Region Walk Out. GREAT TIEUP IS IMMINENT Reports Say Union Chiefs Have Lost Control of Situation—President Lewis of Mine Workers Calls Strike in Alabama. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 3.-—At leas. 60,000 workers in the anthracite region are idle, following a strike vote taken by 300 delegates representing 65 locals of the United Mine 1/Vorkers of America. The delegates voted to take a “vacation” until the operators accede to their demands. No less than 56 collieries are tied up, and many others are only 50 per cent efficient, according to representatives of insurgent leaders. In Hazelton the scale committee sat to frame new demands for presentation at the session of the joint scale committee in Scranton. At the meeting conducted by the insurgents little thought was given to the plans of the administration leaders and their names were mentioned only when they were made the center of bitter verbal disputes. j.

The report said the coal operators had failed to put into effect the awards of President Wilson’s coal commission of last March. It said the miners were working for wages far less than those specified by the commission, and contended every attempt to arrange a conference with the coal operators of Alabama had failed. J. R. Kennamer, president district No. 20 of the mine workers, with offices at Birmingham, was notified of the strike order by telegraph. Numerous mines in the Alabama field have peen idle because of the alleged refusal of the operators to accept the findings of the coal commission. Washington, Sept I.— president Wilson approved the majority report of the anthracite coal commission increasing the wages of contract miners 20 per cent over present rates. Miners employed as company men are given an increase of 17 per cent and the same amount Is given “consideration miners” and miners’ laborers and monthly men. The findings, the report said, would fix a minimum rate of 52% cents per hour for the >owest paid men in tue anthracite industry. The president struck out of the report a provision fixing the terms of retroactive payments under the award which he said was outside the commission’s jurisdiction. Thomas Kennedy, chairman the miners’ scale committee, had protested this feature of the award, he said. TEN GOVERNORS AT MARION Executives of Ten States Are Front. Porch Pilgrims at Harding's Home.
