Renewnl of his invitation te the operators te settle1 the strike by joint conference was made yesterday by Mr. Lewis in New Yerk. The efforts of the Government te reopen the mines, he said, had failed. Further delay con tributed te a pending fuel famine. His pica for a resumption of nego tiations was based en what he said was the complete failure of the Govern ment's efforts te halt the strike. He was firm ln his demand that such n conference Include all operators. He reiterated the refusal of his organiza tion te confer oisjicgetlnte new wage contracts by districts. Mr. Lewis insisted that the miners were willing te return te work nnd de nounced the presence of State troops ln the strike zone. "Menace te Tranquility" ' "The presence of State troops in large numbers in communities where no transgression of the law has occurred," Mr. Lewis said today, "constitutes a menace te domestic tranquility and cre ates a situation repugnant te the ideals of every free-born American. "The employment of citizen soldiery in the protection of imported strike breakers in the mining Industry Is bound te lessen the respect of n large pert of our citizenship in the National Guard as an impartial institution. "The Jnmentnble breakdown of the Federal policy naturally lessens the de sire of the public for further experi ments of this sort. The less of an ad ditional ten days te further develop fan tastic schemes In the field of industrial experimentation can hardly be afforded. The mine workers are resolved net te be driven bnck te the mines by any threat of force, and neither de they intend te return until the coal oper ators of the country nre required te meet them ln joint conference, In order that n new wage scale mnv be nego tiated. The principles of collective bargaining nre at stake and the right te employment nt a living wage is an lssue which must be considered. "The coal strike, new ln its seven teenth week, involving mere thnn 000, 000 men and affecting the welfare of our Natien, Is in itself a colossal In dustrial tragedy which reflects no credit upon our antiquated industrial rela tions or American statesmanship. Such a condition, by every rule of reason nnd logic, is ludefenslbly wrong and is an outrage te every moral and economic principle. Miners Want Settlement "The miners arc anxious te settle this strike and resume the production of coal. We are ready te meet In joint conference with the coal operators at the earliest moment that buch n con ference can be urrnngea in harmony with the contractual obligations of the coal companies and ln line with the procedure which has prevailed hi the intluBtry for meru than, n quarter of a century.

When he re gained consciousness he found thnt he hud been robbed of $20 ln cash niU jewelny worth $-10. Shortly after McCreary's complaint hed been received Mutt Giibmnn, 3211 West Columbia avenue, walked into the station house and said that he had been held up by an nttractlve girl and n man at Fifteenth nnd Arch streets. The description of the pair tullled with that given by McCreary. Gunman said the girl brushed his arm ami 'winked at him. As he turned around a man btepped from an alley und hit him in the face. Then the muu drew a revolver and held it against hlin while the girl went through his pockets, taking $170 tn cash and jewelry. HAMILTON RESIGNS r v . nThniiinn i NO!

Mr. Gable said nego tiations were proceeding satisfactorily before tiie beard. According te the report from Detroit, the threat of the maintenance of way men wns made because of alleged action of certain Kastern reads in attempting te form company nrgnnUntlens te tnke the place of international railroad brotherhoods and the action of guards employed by the railroads. In his conference with the labor boerd today i Mr. Grnble, It was au thoritatively stated, was prepared te demand thnt (ertnin practices of the railroads be abandoned.

The notion of the Interstate Commerce Commission In declaring that a "nntfpnnl emergency" exists as a result of the coal and rail road strikes is no surprise te the oper ators of Western Pennsylvania. While It Is a public safeguard, it Is n hlntv In i.Aifnln nf IhMA man ....s f. u ttlil IIU1UI HUM Ufc 1UC1U ACU. te work at once. If they de net, then Industrial war , mere bitter than ever will ensue. Evcr since the strike started in April, the open-shop mines of Western Penn sylvania, West Virginia and' Virginia have kept the wheels of Industry whirl ing ever a considerable section of the East. ' These mines will continue' te work and run te capacity production, this will continue te take profits from tb unionized mines; the union operators have lest se much already that they wlH go te any lengths te open with strike breakers and that will, start trouble. -Men May Ge t Back There are these, however, who 4s net take this view of the "emergency" movement of the Government at Washr ingten. A, man who has had perseaM knowledge of every big Industrial up heaval "for the last twenty-five yeart said: ' t' i "''Miners who are affiliated with the' American Federation of Laber will re turn te work if the Government 4 mands lti r "They will go back if Governer Sproul directs them te de .se ; but they will net resume work for the coal oper ators until there Is some settlement of their grievances." "De you anticipate serious trouble?" I asked. k "Ne. I de net. Tbls Is the most re markable strike ln the history of the. bituminous region of Western Pennsyl vania. It is the quietest nnd most trouble-free big movement of its kind I have ever known. "Stubborn determination net te re turn te work and refraining from riots and outbreaks are its outstanding fea tures." The speaker was neither a miner nor nn operator. He has connections though, ln every mining nnd railroad center in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohie. The facts up until today bear out his statement. The Pittsburgh dis trict is Idle. One or two smnll opera tions nre active, but their output Is negligible. Ner has the presence of the National Guard with Its protective power had, as yet, any result se 'far a inducing the strikers te go back. Transportation Lacking v Further south ln the West Virginia field there hns been complaint of laek of cars. Ceal is being mined, but transportation Is lacking. On n trip of two dnys through Illi nois and Northern Ohie, the most con spicuous feature of the railroad land scape is miles of empty gondeln cars en sidings. They should be at the mines. At Detroit the yards nre filled with Pere Marquette nnd Wnbash passenger equipment. All this is idle as a result of aban doned service, due, It is claimed, te lack of cool. Figures from the Pere Marquette reed net n grent trunk line like the Pennsylvania, Krle or Balti more and Ohie which I obtained ln Detrett, shed n flood of light en ths fuel necessities of the modern railroad. In connection with this It must be borne ln mind thnt fuel consumption in winter ift far higher thnn In summer. Fer pnssenger train operation alone, the Pere Marquette uses monthly 10.- 000 tens of coal. Operating its freight train service squires .'11.000 tens, while for the use et switching engines 12,000 tens mere are needed. Sheps, stations nnd miscellaneous serlce requires 4"00 tens monthly; thn Luke Michigan car ferries 5500 nnd for work service 2000 mere. This makes n total f 05.000 tens of coal for nil purposes. Counting fifty toen te n enr. It takes nbeut 1.100 cars of coal te keep this one read going eaea month of summer. Take It Philosophically Operators here are taking the strike rather philosophically, though, despite the murky prospect. When I called en the president nf ene of the largest coal rempnnies here nt 11 o'clock in the morning I was informed that lie had ulreudy left for his home In the country. "When de you expect him back?" 1 asked. "Tomorrow morning nbeut 0, ramcs'ln, opens his mall, ircelyes some reports and Is nwuy bv lOjUO. There's nothing much te de these days," tid his secretary.
