"The bituminous nnd unthra citc agreements nrc different propo prepo sitions. Each negotiate contracts without reference te the ether. The miners nnd operators in the two fields have nothing te de with ench ether. "Get this elenr In your mind. The miners did net force this strike.

"All ether classes of lnber," was the response; "drivers, motormen, breaker boys, trip riders, consideration miners and contract miners," said Mr. Lewis. "Anether tiling the Shamekln con vention demanded of the operators was the recognition of the Cnlted Mine Workers of America. Only a partial recognition has been accorded us In recent years. Says All Must Obey Rules "Inasmuch as the United Mine Workers are the signatories te our contract with the operators, we insist that all men working in and around the mines must conform te all of our rule in our contract. And the organ ization sees that this Is done. "In addition te twenty years' ex perience in such matters, te conducting strikes for the benefit of all. we think that the United Mine Workers nre en titled te full recognition and the estab lishment of the check-off system, which hns never been operative in the anthra cite field." "Why de you particularly ask for the Introduction of the check-off sys tem?" wns asked, "Because the United Mine Workers contribute one-half te the maintenance of the Conciliation Beard.

"As miners, familiar with the sub ject, we affirm that this alleged labor cost of $.1.02 nt the mine hns no re lation te the ultimate cost te the con cen Miincr. There are ether things which the oneraters cenceal: which they are rnfrnld te expose te public gaze. "lnke tnclr sales agencies ana sell ing corporations," he went en. "All of these are merely devices te wring additional profits from the public. "Cenl mining corporations ergnnlze their selling agencies, or employ men te handle them. By this they make a double profit. Wholesalers represent them also, nnd that adds another profit. "The present railroad rates are an other Imposition en the consumer.

"Are you awnre thnt the much hernlded Workmen's Compensation law Is n big pnylng preposition with the operators?"

Estimates Return at $5,000,000 "In ether words the public pnys the bill for every Injured or crippled miner," I Interjected. "Have you any figures te substnntlntc this?" "Te the best of our informntlen" Mr. Lewis renlied. "Inst vear the an- 1 thraelte coal operators gathered In nbeut $5,000,000 from the public en this score. "This is one of the anthracite coal mysteries wc would like te see cleared up," he went en, "If In the future there is a Federal Commission ap pointed te investigate this industry, we will demnnd, just nrt President Harding premised, that every phase of the anthracite business be investigated, also including this question of royalties. "I am informed that the C.lrard Estate, a Philadelphia City Trust, is .one of the grcntest offenders in re spect te exorbitant royalties.

Friends of the Public "The opernters claim te be the friends of the public. Can they make the public believe that? "In demanding n free expose of the mysteries of the coal business, including its profiteering methods, the United Mine Workers of America are demon strating thnt they are really the ones who nre trying te help the public. "We wnnt te knew what becomes of the difference between the $.1.02 n ten in labor, which the operators claim, for mining the coal and the $15.30 which the people of Brooklyn and else where pay for this same ten of coal? "Questions of wages nnd working conditions are net the only questions at issue In this contest. We de net propose te permit the operators te make the United Mine Workers the goat. "If we arc te have the Justice of our claims passed upon, then Oie Im penetrable mystery thnt envelops the nnthrncite operators' side must be re vealed; and the probe must go deep enough te reach the seat of the trou ble." The Saving te the Consumer "If nnthrncite miners' wages were reduced twenty-one cents a ten, ns the operators demand, what would be tbs saving te the ultimate consumer?" I asked Air. Lewis. "It wenld be about eighty cents," was the reply. "But would the con sumer get It? "Did the consumer get a return of the Stete tax that the operators col lected in 1015-10 after the bill was declared unconstitutional? "If the operators would disregard the order of President Wilsen's com mission In 1020 net te pans the wage Increase of 17 per cent along te the consumer, de you fancy they would give the public the benefit of a wage cut in the miners' wages?"

Heading Toward Government Ownership ? WHAT IS the real meaning of the Railroad Strike? Is it a matter deeper than a struggle te maintain a certain level of wages? Is it a strike toward Government ownership? THOMAS DeWITT CUYLER Chairman of the Association of American Railway " Executives, is perhaps the leading authority in the country en railroad matters. He has been persuaded te express his views of the real meaning of the rail strike and his idea of hew disaster may be averted. The rail situation vitally affects every man, woman and child in the United States. Thinking men should inform themselves as te the views held by both parties te the struggle, for, in the mass, the readers of the Sunday press constitute that great ' third party te every industrial struggle, the American public.

Details of the rail strike settlement plan drawn up by President Hnrdlng and te be 'considered at separate meetings of railroad execu tives and union officials nt New Yerk nnd Chicago next Tuesday were still withheld today, but the President wns said te feel that they offered a basis upon which the two sides should be able te come te nn early agreement. After announcing thnt the general strike commlttee of the shepcrnfts unions en strike would be convened In Chicago te consider the proposals en the same day the rail heads meet In ,ew..?, 'or t,,nt purpose, J. M. Jewell, leader of the shepmen, and In ternational officers of the unions left here for Chicago last night apparently prepared te recommend favorable action by the committee. That the spokesmen of the rail executives who have con ferred with the President would have the same favorable recommendation te make, however, appeared improbable today, with the seniority Issue looming In that quarter as the doubtful point. As understood in bread outline the President's settlement plan deals iu major part with the seniority question ns virtually the only controversial Issue new remaining between the railroads and their workmen. Other sections, It was said, would concede te the strikers the right te a re-hearing before the Railroad Laber Beard en the wage issue, bind the rail roads te set up regional adjustment beards and require their abandonment et repair contracts with "outside shops." With a view te overcoming the strong objection Indicated by a number of reads te the displacement of new men by returning strikers, President Hard ing Is understood te have suggested a compromise en the seniority question by which the former would retain their positions, while the strikers would be given a seniority rank just behind the men who did net walk out July 1. A large number of lines are said te have indicated a willingness te take back all of their men In the exact positions held prier te the strike. Chicago, July 20. (By A. P.)
