Russia Not Likely

Continued from Piwre One
l.tlcnl circles there are Indications of
an increasing feeling that the negotia

there have bein official announcements
to the contrary.
The militarists arc advocating n con
tinuance of the war to compel Russia
to seek terms. Change in the Danzig
situation has had a tendency to en
courage the militarist elements. Ob

generally desires peace and are hope
ful that the Minsk negotiations will
bring it.
The Socialists from time to time
have proposed pence demands which
show they are dissatisfied with the

nrging the resignation of Ignacc Das

vice premier when Vincent Witos was
chosen premier.
Various party strifes, which were

The National Democrats are more open

expected the number of fugitive Rus

WARNED BY TOWER
Danzig. Aug 20. By (A. P.) At
today's sitting of the Danzig state
council Sir Reginald Tower, nllled high
commissioner in Danzig, stnteil that the
past few weeks had shown that peace
nnd order had not jet been restored in
Dnnzig nnd that the constitutional as
sembly's recent resolution concerning
neutrality was unwarranted as Danzig
Is not yet a free state.
Sir Reginald charged the assembly
with hampering the truusport of muni
tions for Poland nnd the return of Poles
to their countrj. He added that if
more foreign troops were landed It
would be tho fault of the people of
Danzig themselves, because they had
not respected the terms of the peuce
treatv. and the town would hae to nny
the cost of the increased occupational
forces.
Head Burgomaster Sahm replied that
n distinction should he made between
the neutrality declaration and the har
bor menu refusal to unload war ma
terials. He explained that the as-
sembly had merelj proposed the D.m.lg
district should be deflated a neutral
zone, not because of hostility to the
Poles, but to save the country from
war. The harbor men did not favor
violence, the burgomaster declared, and
the authorities would do their utmost
to protect foreign and state property.
POLES UNWILLING
TO HALT ADVANCE
Washington, Aug. 27 (Bv A. P.)
Publication of the i'oiisii answer to me
American note of August 21, suggest
ing that Poland should not transgress
Russian boundaries, has been deferred
pending further correspondence with the
government at Warsaw The note is
said "not to be disappointing" from the
American point of view.
Some divergence of opinion has been
indicated as to the "ethoggraphio line."
or the line of the Supreme (.'outull, upon
reaching which, the American note
urged, the victorious Polish armies
should halt in their counter-offensive
against the Bolshevik!. Official com
ments of the Trench foreign offce as
well as the statements of Polish offi
cials here have disclosed this difference.
Polish officials have contended that us
the line fixed by the Supreme Council
was only tentative, and as no armistice
had been concluded with the Soviet
armies, it would be courting disaster for
the Polish pursuit to stop short of com
plete defeat of the Bolsbeviki, even if
that purpose took the Polish troops
across the line. There were indications
today that the diplomatic discussion now
in progress revolved upon whether Po
lish forces should stop where they now
are, upon the line of the Supreme Coun
cil, or press tho pursuit of the Bolshc
vlkl and withdraw later to the line.

YQUR WINTER'S
Have you taken thought of your win
ter's coal?
It is still under ground awaiting the
activities of the men about the mines to
bring it to the surface, load it on the cars
and start it toward your .bin.
Tho activities of the men at the mines,
here and elsewhere, have been suspended
by order of the United Mine Workers.
We profess to be nothing more than
spectators of what is going on in the coal
fields of Illinois and Kansas, but the pro
ceedings there have such bearing upon our
condition in the Williamson field, that we
are constrained briefly to bring them to
notice.
The strikers there are under solemn
contract, guaranteed by the officers of
the United Mine Workers, to perform
certain service at a stated rate of wages '
for a given term of years. In spite of this
contract, to which miners, operatprs and
the government of the United States were
parties, the miners, under sanction and
protection of the United Mine Workers,
laid down their tools and quit their work.
So flagrant was the violation of
contract in Illinois that the President of
the United States when asked to provide
a way of settlement, rebuked the United
Mine Workers' organization for its re
peated violations of contract. He said :
"It is with a feeling of profound regret and
sorrow that I learned that many of the mem
bers of your organization, particularly in tho
state of Illinois, have engaged in a strike in
violation of the award of the bituminous coal
commission, and your agreement with the gov
ernment that the findings of the commission
would be accepted by you as final and binding.
I am distressed not only because your action in
refusing to mine coal upon the terms which you
had accepted may result in great Buffering in
many households during the coming winter
and interfere with the continuation of indus
trial and agricultural activity, which is the
basis of the prosperity which you in common
with the balance of our people have been en
joying, but also, and what is of far more im
portance, because tho violation of tho terms of
your solemn obligation impairs your good name,
destroys the confidence which is the basis of
all mutual agreements and threatens the very
foundation of fair industrial relations. No gov
ernment, no employer, no person having nny
reputation to protect can afford to enter into
contractual relations with any organization which
systematically or repeatedly violates its con
tracts." In Kansas, the contention has not been
for higher wages, as in Illinois, but for
the acceptance of a five-day week and a
six-hour day.
The contract in Kansas provides that :
"pending a final settlement of any dis
pute the mine shall continue in operation
and all miners, mine laborers and parties
involved shall remain at work, except dis
charged employes."
The interest of the Williamson field
operators in these strikes, as well as the
705 other strikes called and maintained
by the miners in Kansas during forty
five months, is the evidence that the
United Mine Workers do not keep their
contracts. This fact has been observed
by us, just the same as by the President
of the United States, who made it the
subject of a stinging rebuke.
The cessation of work in the William
son coal field is due to a contest over the
organization of this field by the United
Mine Workers.
The Williamson field operators find
themselves influenced by many valid ob
jections to the control of the miners of
this field by the United Mine W6rkers.
We might, safely and easily, rest our
case with the public upon the charge
lodged by the President of the United
States and justified by a multitude of cir
cumstances that they do not value and
enforce the contracts that they made. No
business concern will, voluntarily, or un
der pressure that it can avoid, accept
contracts not safeguarded by reliability
and good faith.

COAL
Permit us, now, to draw this subject
to the attention of those depending on
bituminous coal for the warmth of their
hearths, next winter. We will presume
that you are interested. We will pre
sume no difficulty on your part in recall
ing the hardships when the United Mine
Workers closed all the mines under their
control in November-December, 1919.
We doubt not that you will recall that
the Williamson and adjoining nonunion
fields furnished you your almost total
supply of coal during that crucial time.
Now, then, for an open secret. The
Williamson field has been chosen by the
United Mine Workers as the key ' to
the adjoining Pocahontas, Winding Gulf,
Raleigh and Logan fields in West Vir
ginia and the fields of eastern Kentucky.
If they can make their break through this
field their chances are enlarged for subse
quent supremacy in the other coal fields
mentioned.
Give them supremacy over this ter
ritory and they will have control of
practically the entire bituminous coal
production of the United States. With
that control they will have easily within
their grasp the power which they sought
in 1919, of freezing the country into sub
mission to the program outlined by their
National Convention, of
Nationalization of the coal industry;
Co-operation instead of competition
Six-hour day and five-day week ;
The right to bargain with the govern
ment. What would this power to shut off coal
production mean to the warming of YOUR
hearth and the heating of YOUR kitchen
range?
The Williamson field and those imme
diately contiguous to it as 'enumerated
above, have a production capacity of
5,000,000 tons a month, or 25,000,000 tons
during -the five winter months.
Accepting the usual estimate of a ton
per month per family, which will likely
hold true, the capacity of these fields, if
undisturbed, will yield provision for five
million families during the winter season.
Assuming again that the ordinary
family is correctly estimated by census
statistics at five persons, these fields have
the capacity of providing 25,000,000 peo
ple, or about one-fourth of the total popu
lation, with their winter's fuel supply.
These figures and estimates are onJy
suggestive, but are worthy of considera
tion. The railroads must have fuel to
carry fuel to you. The navy and the
shipping interests will have demands that
must be attended to. And unless indus
try is supplied, there are but few that will
be able to provide their fuel supply.
Is not this statement worthy of stu
dious, conscientious, family-loving con
sideration ?
The United Mine Workers has defied
industry. It has defied the American
family. It is contemptuous of its con
tracts with operators. It scorns public
necessities.
May we not ask YOU as an independ
ent coal user, whether you wish, in view
of your personal convenience and neces
sity and comfort, to depend upon our
efforts and strategy in providing your
winter's supply of coal, or upon the good
faith of an organization that wantonly
breaks its contracts and is lacking in sym
pathy for the personal, public and indus
trial demands of all coal users?
This is our second address through the
press to the coal users of the country. We
desire to acknowledge .with appreciation
the many responses made by readers of
our former address, and their tender of
support in the fight we are making. Our
sole purpose in going to the public is to
advise and warn the people of the possi
bility of fuel trouble during next winter,
that they may lodge the blame therefor
where it properly belongs upon the
United Mine Workers of America.
