backing of organized labor, government
officials and labor spokesmen declared
today. Thorei was agreement on the point

erally approved. Labor leaders admitted
tho jastico of tho President's nttltude.
A survey of sentiment in labor cir
cle Indicated that the miners can et
' ject no support from the American Fed
t eration of Labor, nor, according to
officials hero, from tbo United Mine
1 Workers. President Samuel Gompcrs. of
'' tho federation, while in closo touch with
developments. Is understood to hold the
view that tho controversy thus far is
strictly a miners' affair, and that the
federation would not be justified In top-
ping into It or expressing anv opinion
I unless n striko is actually called.
, Appeal to Labor Forecast

wns said, nay mako a direct appeal to
loyal organized labor in the hard-coal
region 'to so back to work and abandon

I President Gompers declared today he
lad "nothing to say" on the new de
1 Yelopments. Ho is understood to he In
f tench with Presircnt John L. Lewis, of
' the U. M. W. A., in Indianapolis, but
i Wuld not discuss the strike threat or

; Department of Justice officials are
5 prepared to institute immediate pro

, tier tha Lever act in tho event of a
' strike. They declared tho department's
-attitude, in view of the President's let

as toward the "outlaw" railroad strik
ers In Chicago, where numbers of strike
leaders wero indicted for conspiracy.
'Agents of the department have been on
1 tno ground since tue strike taut siarceu.
Peaceful Solution Uoped For
' Tn government circles the feeling pre
vails that the next move is up to tho
miners. Tho hone is expressed that re-
calcitrant s will accept the award and
J attempt by peaceful methods to obtain
further concessions from tho operators.
Labor spokesmen here, denouncing
' 'what they termed the "essential injus

' could have obtained a greater increnFe
In wages had thev dealt with the opera
tors directly. They construe its terms
and the dissatisfaction growing out of
, it as an argument for direct bargaining
between operators and miners, and
point to peaceful settlements effected
between district committees and opera
tors in the bituminous fields after the
general committees appointed for the
entire industry had failed to agree.
Calls Award Reactionary
The award of the Commission
Is characterized ns "the most reaction

industrial tribunal during the recon
Btruction period," by W. Jett I.auck

"In saying this. I do not b!ie? that
I am a trouble maker anv more than
the weather man is a rainmakf r when.

Tain," said Mr. I.auck "The anthra
cite workers are nj-ked to accept n min
imum day wage of $4.20 as contrasted
with $0 per dav for th bituminous
miners granted bv the bituminous com
mission, which by agreement, is now
being increased to ST 50 in Illinois and
?0.75 or $7 in Ohio and Pcnnsjlvu
sia. How can tho public expect the
United Mino Workers to enforce ac
ceptance of such a comparatively dis

miners, u lnrge majorlt of whom do

The union, he said would undertake
In all good faith to accept and enforce
the award although the (ommKsion de

"The price of anthracite to the con

"When the case was submitted to arid

thn nnthrncite operators advanced the

The wage increases granted by the

The President's Telegram
"The White House,
"Washington, August 80.
"Enoch Williams, chairman; Martin
McDonoueh, Lewis Davis, Garfield
Lewis, Rinaldo Cnpclllnl, 305 West
Taylor street, Taylor, Pa. :
"Replying to your telegram of Au-
nst 21), your attention is particularly
Irectcd to the following language con
tained in the minority report of Mr.
Ferry, of the Anthracite Coal Commis
sion: " 'In conclusion, Mr. President, we
wish to say as we diuin the beginning
that the majority report shall have the
full, practical acceptance of the officers
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, and we shall devote ourselves to its
application, as we obligated ourselves to
do when we submitted our cause to this
commission. '
"That was the manly and honest
thing for Mr. Terry to do. Ho cour
ageously sets forth his icws in the
minority report and then Just ns cour
ageously declares he will abido by the
decision of tho majority, as tho miners
had obliged themselves to do. It should
bo understood that there was no agree
ment between the operators and miners
to have me decide the questions at
issue.
"With the many other important
duties devolving upon me I could not
havo devoted tho time necessary to
Lear and digest all of tho evidenco pro
scntcd. I, therefore, proposed tho crea
tion of a commission whose findings
would be binding upon both parties.
The representatives of the miners on tho
scalo committee declined to accept the
suggestion until it bad been submitted
to a convention of tbo United Mine
Workers of Districts 1, 7 and 0. In
that convention, by a vote of the men
direct from Jho mines, a resolution was
adopted accepting tho proposition and
solemnly obligating the mine workers
to abido by the award. By all the laws
of honor, on which civilization rests,
that pledgo should bo fulfilled.
Collective Bargaining at Stake
"Any intimation that tho anthracite
mine workers will refuse to work under
tho award becauso it does not grant
them all that they expected is n reflec
tion upon tha sincerity of tne men who
constitute the backbone of the com
munity in which they live. Collective
bargaining would soon ccaso to exist
in industrial affairs if contracts sol
emnly entered into can be set aside by
either party whenever it wills to do so.
I am wire that the miners themselves
would vigorously protest against the in
justice of the act if the President at
tempted to set aside the award of the
commission becauso the operators had
protested against it.
"Mav I add that I am personally
nnd officially interested in promoting
the welfare of every man who has to
work for a living. Every influence of
my administration has been exercised to
improvo the standards of living of the
nation's working men and women witn
out doing any injustice to other portions
of our people. A large part of the do
mentic fuel supply of the eastern states
is dependent upon tho continued opera
tion of the anthracite coal mines. Any
prolonged stoppage of production w ill
mean hardship and suffering to many
people. Including millions of wage
workers and their families.
"Yet if your communication, de
claring your intention to refrain from
working unless I set aside the award
of the Anthracite Coal Commission on
or before September 1, 1020. it in
tended as a threat, you can be assured
that vour challenge will bo accepted
and that the people of the United
States will find some substitute fuel to

of the anthracite mine workers can find

Presidents Defiance
to Insurgent Minors
President Wilson, in his letter to
the insurgent miners, acccpti their
challenge as follows :
"If your communication, declar
ing your intention to refrain from
working unless I set aside tho award
of the anthraeito conl commission on
sr before September 1, 1020, Is in
tended ns a threat, you can bo as
sured that your challcngo will be ac
cepted nnd that the pcoplo of the
I'nited States will find some sub
stitute fuel to tide them over until
'ho real sentiment of the anthracite
.nine workers can find expression nnd
thoy aro ready to abide by the obli
gations' they havo entered into.
"You arc, therefore, advised that
I cannot and will not set aside the
judgment of the commission, and I
shall expect the anthracite mine
workers to accept tho award nnd
carry it into effect in good faith."
ns tho wage incrcaso ndoptcd provides
against any advance of the price of coal,
while an additional increase of wages
would necessitate n big incrcaso in coal
prices.
It Is difficult to dctcrmino who nro
tho insurgent leoders in this district.
Tuey nro keeping under cover, ap
parently so it will bo impossible to
servo any injunction on them. Tho In
surgents say thoy do not expect to closo
all tho collieries at once, but hope event
ually to get all tho men to join the
movement.
Scranion, Pa,. Aug. 31. (By A, P.)
More than 700 miners of tho Jcrmyn
Conl Co. nt Old Forgo struck yesterday
in sympathy with the striking contract
miners of the Pennsylvania Conl Co.
It Is alleged that Garfield Lowis, of
Old Forgo, a lender among the insur
gent mino workers, is responsible for
the walkout and that he urged tho men
to quit work during an address which
ho znado at a meeting in Old Forge on
Sunday. ,
Sentiment in administration circles of
the United Mine Workers of America
in this city seemed to indicate that thcro
was no immediate possibility of a gen
eral striko in tho anthracite region.
John T. Dempsey, president of District
No. 1, in discussing the award, brand
ed the action of tho insurgents ns un
official, nnd further declared that he
was not fearful that the men would
quit work.
Hazlcton, Pa., Aug. 31 Prepara
tions were made today by Thomas Ken
nedy, president of the United Mine
corners ot the Hazlcton district nnd
chairman of the general scalo commit
tee of the anthracite field, for n meet
ing of tho latter body hero tomorrow
morning. At that time further steps
will be considered for obtaining better
terms, if possible. The plan, ns so far
outlined, is .to make new demands on
the operators, as was done in the
mtuminous section, to bring the wage
advance up to what the soft-coal men
have since received.
Miners aro restUo nnd it is feared
thcro may bo some suspensions tomor
row morning.
WHkcs-Barre, Aug. 31. Anthracite
miners will meet tomorrow in Hazle
ton and Wilkes-Bnrre. The tridistrict
scale committee will convene at Hazle -ton
to frnme new demands for presen
tation to President Wilson if he grants
a reopening of the case, while three
hundred delegates from local unions
will meet in this city to take action
on the approval by President Wilson
of the majority report of the wage com
mission. Coal operators here bay prices will
go up slightly for outside buyers and
that a larger advance will be paid by
local consumers. This statement is made
in the fuce of the clause of the ma
jority report which 6tated that no in
crease in price of coal is warranted.
Independent operators say the clause
in the report of the majority which
prohibits an increase refers to retail
trade nnd "present prices."
Factionalism Splits
Anthracite Miners
Continued from Vatt On
In a certain section of the mine or in
rertain "chambers" or "rooms." They
cmplo laborers and pay them. The
coal company recognizes the contract
miner alone in the transaction.
Many of these men, it is said, have
grown very prosperous through this
sjstera. The men who are not contract
miners object to it. They demand the
abolition of the system ns unfair. It
gives big money to the few and keeps
the manv in subjection.
There is, ns I have bald, in addition
as soon as you taste "Asco" Blend. There is no sorcery about
the wonderful popularity of this delightful beverage. Our coffee
experts, after long experimenting, simply hit upon a certain
combination of high-grade coffees that, roasted by our own
special process, produced a blend that was a distinct achievement
in coffee blending.
We can be excused for the just pride we take in its
tremendous success.

LEPaER-PHILADELPfilA, TUESDAY,
to this grievance, much dissatisfaction
over tho award bf tho anthracite coal
commission, whose majority report was
accepted by President Wilson yester
day. Thero is moro or less restlessness
and a feeling that the verdict is insuffi
cient though it carries a total .increase
to tho anthracite miners of something
like $103,000,000, of which f 18,.
000,000 is back pny, the award being
retroactive to April 1,'1020.
Last night a call was Issued by J.
M. Mack, secretary of District No. 1
of the .United Mine Workers, for a
meeting in Scranton on Thursday of
tho general scale committees of the
threo district boards. Both th0 ma
jority nnd minority rcpotts of the an
thracite coal commission will then be
discussed.
Tomorrow a meeting hns been called
for Hnzlcton to discuss the ndvlsnblllty
of asking the President to reopen the
award. Members of the district scale
committees will attend.
Thcro Is n belief that President Wil
son will be willing to do most nnythlng
to avert even a partial striko in tho an
thracite field at this time. It would be
distinctly bad for his party, and it is
not improbable that the commission's
award may bo revlwcd, some more
hearings granted, nnd a solution 'of the
problem sought in a way that will "save
tho faco of the administration."
Tho personal clement, as it looms np
in this crisis, presents another angle.
At tho last election for officers of the
United Mine Workers in this district
thero was a bitter and acrimonious
strugglo between Enoch Williams and
John T. Dempsey for president. Demp
sey won. Fraud, was charged by the
Willlnms men and ever slnco there hns
been a eort of feud between the two
men.
Rinaldo Cnppallnl Is an Amcrlcnnlzcd
Italian of considerable Influence among
the miners around PIttston. Last fall,
whllo still in the craplov of tho Penn
sylvania Coal Co. at Pittston, he en
tered politics ns a candidate for town
ship commissioner. He wns opposed by
all of the contract miners, but won out.
Ho hns charged that his unsuccessful
opponent subsequently secured his dis
charge by tbo Pennsylvania Coal Co.
This has been ono of tho causes of his
antagonism to contract mining nnd has
doubtless led bun to take an nctivo part
in the PIttston striko. Ho was ono of
tho four men, Enoch Wlllinms being
another, who signed tho telegram to
President Wilson notifying him unless
ho accepted tho minority report of the
coal commission, which awarded the
men n 27 per cent increase, the miners
would strike.
Cappallni has a large following
among the foreign miners, the Italians
especially, and he is to figure largely at
the meeting 01 the insurgents in this
city tomorrow. At that meetiug it will
be decided whether or not nn outlaw
strike will bo declared. President Wil
son having accepted tho majority re
port of tho coal commission, will likely
come in for some polyglot pounding.
As to bow nil this nffects tho price
of coal to tho householders of Philadel
phia is another story; how it is that
every timo there is a threatened strike
or a demand for higher wages for the
anthraeito miners, the retail price of
coal in Philadelphia gets a "boost" is
another tale J.o be told.

shevist army remaining in Polish ter
ritory asking them to rally at Minsk
for the work of reorganizing these
Soviet troops, according to a wireless
message of the Bolshevists, which has
been intercepted by the Polish general
staff. It is urged that this reorganiza
tion be pushed nt all possible speed.
This intercepted message nlbo noted tho
complaint of Bolshevist division com
manders that they had received unarmed
soldiers as re-enforcements.
The message indicated that the rem
nants of tho Bolshevist troops operat
ing in Poland, ns well as tha recruits,
will bo diided into two armies. A

quarters at Rovno Leon Trotzky, the
Soviet foreign minister, is expected to

New rrontlcr Desired
President PilBudski, in n statement
to the Polish pres, declares that tho
front designated by the Allies on De
cember as Poland's eastern frontier,
from a strategical point of view, is
worth nothing to the republic.
"At several points in the region of
urest-iiitovsK, he says, "wo have al
ready crossod the allied line; in the
north wo are approaching it. To halt
on this line, dig trenches nnd create a
state of defense means that we confirm
that the front in the cast answers oar

main on tho illusory frontier and con
clude peace as promptly as possible.
"Our friends," says President PU
sudski, "desire thnt the Toles shall re
main stationary on tho eastern front,
maintaining a purely defensive attitude.
My opinion is that this is impossible.
How can Poland, with its small army,
badly munitioned, remain on a fixed
front of hundreds of miles? Such lines
should hnve trenches nnd protecting
rows of barbed wire, and to carry suf
ficient wire .to the lines would occupy
the cntira railroad system for months."

Mayor ConnelT and Director of Public
Works Robert Allen, unless certain
streets in North Scranton aro repaired
by October 2, is giving the city officials

developments. So far tho city hns failed
to mako a movo toward repairing the
highways, and from good sources it hns
been lenrned no work on them is con
templated, for the reason that there is
no money in tho city fund to pay for
such operation.
Tho order of tho Judge came in deny
ing tho appeal of the two city officials
for n new trial after they had been
found guilty of maintaining a nuisance
The judge denied tbo appeal, and in a
