There have been exceptions, as | for instance, Henry Allen in Kansas, | but in the main the federal government | has been constantly sought as a media- | tor for the last ten years. Many strikes | have been averted and the work of con- cillation has been effec but with | the powerful influence of state govern- | ments wielded by couragcous governors | it is felt here that even more progress might have been made. There is also the question of power. States have almost unlimited rights of seizure under their constitutions. The natlonal government, fpr ex- | ample, could not seize and operate coal mines under the federal Consti- ! tution—this point was cleared up for President Harding by constitutional experts a year ago. Mr. Pinchot had | always the threat of state operation | to hold over warring factions in the anthracite industry. The President played no politics in handling the coal strike or he would have attempted mediation himself. On the other hand: the fact that there is to be no strike removes a source of discontent which might have been | charged to the failure of the federal | government to intervene. Notwith- standing Mr. Coolidge's attitude of giving the Pennsylvania_ governor free rein the political phases of the episode have grown in number. No outstanding candidate for the vice | presidency had been mentioned among { the politicians until Gov. Pinchot got | into the limelight with the coal strike | negotiations. There has always been the suggestion that along with Mr.| Caolidge, who is held -to be of the | conservative type of republican, a funning mate should be chosen with an appeal to the so-called progressive eléments in the republican party. Gifford Pinchot was one of the origi- nal Roosevelt Progressives. His con- troversy with Secretary of the In- terior Ballpnger of the Taft adminis- tration over the conservation of nat- ural resources stirred up the entire west. So Gov. Pinchot, it is reasoned, weuld balance the republican ticket nicely. = Eniasenors .

HARD COAL PACT MAY COME TODAY AS ISSUES FADE (Continued from First Page.) 00 20 be placed before a convention of miners’ delegates from the anthra- cite reglon. The conventlon is yet to be summoned. Gov. Pinchot's proposal that the men be given a flat increase of 10 per cent. that all but eight-hour day ar- rangements be abandoned, that the union be recognized., that principles of collective bargaining be accepted in the industry, was accepted by the miners’ scale committee on recom- { mendation of Mr. Lewls. Check-oft Dropped. The scale committee authorized its officers to drop the demand for “check-oft” collection of dues, and liekwise the demand for an increase of more than 10 per cent for the 100,000 day workers in the fleld. Gov. Pinchot sald that the progress had been as good as could be ex- pected and that both sides were “showing a strong disposition to reach a conclusion.” Issues still unsettled between the two groups cover the length of time for which the anticipated wage con- tract may run, operators being in favor of a single vear: the demands of the union for welghing of coal in- stead of measuring it to determine earnings of contract miners, for the revision of existing rate sheets and establishment of new ones to fix earnings of contract miners, and for an Increase in the pay of miners laborers. The union had a further demand for a 90 cent per hour mini- mum for all mechanics employed in mine operations and for double time ipayment for overtime. Upon some of these matters tenta- {tive agreements were made at various stages of the recent negotiations, but others were still entirely open. The operators’ group, which has been & unit in opposing any wage in- crease and has announced willing- ness to make one only at the sug- gestlon of Gov. Pinchot, was firm in declaring last night unwillingness to | concede anything as to these points that would add to the cost of coal production. Gov. Pinchot's announcement that the miners’ union representatives had agreed to take a 10 per cent wage in- crease and abandon their demand for “eheck-off” collection of unfon dues came at the end of a brief session in which he met again members of the operators’ policy committee and the union officials. The operators left the capital without letting the de slon be known, but Mr., Lewis and the governor remained in the office fomether to tell what had taken place. %It is with the keenest satisfaction that I tell you I am authorized to announce that both miners and oper- ators have now agreed upon the four Points of the basis of settlement fendered them, as those points were interpreted in ~the supplementary statements Issued yesterday,” the governor told the assembled news- aper men.

Mr. Lewis followed him in a briet 0! n acquiescing to the four basic points of ‘Gov. Pinchot's proposal, the lepresentatives of the mine workers bave been fully conscious of the public interest.

STATE DELEGATION WILL BE WITH THE GOVERNOR (Continued from First Page.) held. Mr. Upham has had the votes pledged for Chicago for several months. President Harding was try- ing to convince him, however, that perhaps it might be politic and wise to give some other good American city a chance at the conclave. Presi- dent Coolidge has expressed no pref- erence. t State Silent on Coolidge. Although Pennsylvania has two mem- bers of the cabinet—Mr. Mellon and Mr. Davis—there has been no attempt to launch a Coolldge boom In this state. Neither Mr. Mellon, the Secre- tary of the Treasury, nor Mr. Davis, Secretary of Labor, has been active in Pennsylvania politics, and while they may personally look upon Mr. Coolidge as his own logical successor in the White House, they have no strength of organization behind them. It is sald here that so far as their influence could gd, Senators Pepper and Reed had determined even before Mr. Harding's death to work for an uninstructed Pennsylvania delegation to the next convention. There is lit- tle or no doubt, however, that one delegation would have gone solidly to Mr. Harding had he lived and desired renomination. Now the sentiment in favor of the uninstructed delegation naturally is stronger than ever, although if he should express a wish for it Gov. Pinchot's friends will go hotly into the fight for it. Caliber Well Known. There s no attempt on the part of the governor's friends to disguise their bellef that he s presidential timber. They feel that his interven- tion In the coal strike was a ten- strike. In their own language, they were “amaged” that President Cool- idge should have permitted Gov. Pin- chot to take the place as mediator that the country assumed the Pre: dent, because of his strike experiences in Boston, would reserve to himself. Gov. Pinchot, in all of his public utterances concerning the coal nego- tiations, has made it plain that he was acting solely in his own behalf and in the interest of the public. He let it be known that he was not an ambassador of the White House; that he was recelving no instructions from Washington, but had every assurance of assistance from there if necessary. When Gov. Pinchot visited Wash- ington some two weeks ago and the annoufcement was made that he would attempt to bring the warring anthracite miners and operators together there was general doubt as to hig exact status, or the means by which his entrance into the coal con- troversy had been brought about. Thé “facts are these: When the head of the state bureau of mines re- ported to the governor that the coal negotiations at Atlantic City, re- newed at the request of the Natlonal ICoal Commission, had broken hope- lessly down, Mr. Pinchot called up the White House and asked Mr. Cool- idge if he had in mind any definite other than the providing of demand for arbitration and their|guioiitutes to the people. her demand that the mine work- :!‘;: remaining demands not covered this action, mine workers are reluctant to con- As related by the state authorities, forego asking consideration of|pregident Coolidge replied that he had no immedfate move in contem- In the face oflplation.

Told to Go Ahead Matters were held in abeyance until Gov. Pinchot went to Washington and had a further talk with the President. Then he was told to go ahead and, as his friends expressed it today, “he left the White House & free agent and personally responsible for the success or failure of his efforts. There was in_reality more politi cal significance to the governor's ac- tivities than any contemplation ot a move toward the White House. nsylvania collects a tax of between 000,000 and $7,000,000 a year on all anthracite mined in the state. Gov. Pinchot's ‘“economy hudget” needed every. cent of this income dur- ing the next two vears.

Known as an “unofficial” conference, as it was called without the sanction of the party's state central commit- tee, the farmer-laborite meeting had | before it a resolution of the Non- Partlsan League against fusion of the two into one party. | Fusion Is Sought. The union of all farmer and labor elements into one compact political organization was the primary aim of the farmer-labor conference, which was called by William Mahorey, St. Paul labor leader, and Henry Teigen, secretary of the Non-Partisan League. Telgen also is secretary to Magnus Johnson, recently elected United States senator from Minnesota, but since the senator-elect urged the Non-Partisan League at {ts conference yesterday to retain its identity, Telgen is expected to leave the farmer-labor conference to Ma- honey's direction. Meanwhile, the farmer-labor group, headed by F. A. Pike, chairman of the party’s state central committee, determined in conference last night to call a state convention for next spring with representation appor- tioned on the basis of the vote cast for its gubernatorial candidate in the 1922 elections. perate. While the Non-Partisan League in its conference late yesterday de- cided to continue its present organi- zation and settle its own problems, it resolved “to go the limit” in oo- operating with labor groups in achieving political results beneficial to_both. With the leaguers out of the farmer-laborites’ conference today, it was expected the bulk of the dele- gates would be from labor organi: tions and the newly form ness and professionel. men's Whether the decision of th partisan leaguers not to be absorbed will have any considerable effect on Minnesota politics 1s problematical.

But now, thanks to aim, the state’s income has not suffered.” As a rhatter of fact, the increase in the cost of coal at the mines, due to the increase in wages to the miners and the grant- ing of a full elght-hour day, will in- crease the revenues of the state from the coal tax by something between $500. 000 and $800,000.

Tadeusz Kosciuszko cast his lot with the patriots of “75" has America’s reverence for the in- trepld Pole been greater than the love, respect and admiration in whick. Secretary Herbert Hoover is held by the people of Poland today. Thesi welcome assurances come from none other than two distingulshed repre- sentatives of the new-born republic, George Barthel de Meydenthal, consul general of Poland at Chicago, and Z. Kurnikowski, Pollsh consul at Pittsburgh, Pa., who are stopping at the Hotel Washington for a few days. “Yes,” sald Mr. Kurnlkowski, “your Secretary of Commerce s literally idolized in my land. His magnifi relief work will never be forgotten by Poland, and already a wonderful |monument, typifying the gratitude {Poland hears toward America and |especially Mr. Hoover, has been start- |ed at Warsaw. We shall never forget |either that the United States was t first to recognize our new gFove ment."” n- It was further learned from ths Polish consgl whose territory covers the westernortion of Pennsylvania, West Virginla, Tennessee and K. tucky, that at present there are proximately 350,000 Poles in that dis- trict, many of whom are employed in the bituminous coal fields of the Keystonc state, while the steel works at Pittsburgh have their quota, not to mention those drilling ofl iwells in other occupations. '‘As a whole, our people in Am are a hard-working, thrifty said the Pittsburgh official. Any are well cducated and hold positions of honor and trust, while not a few have grown rich in business and the professions. They all bear an inborn 1ove for America and appreciate hovw Benarous she has been to their own.” Mr. Kurnikowski's post is no sinc cure. Owing to the many accidcnts in the mines, the deathy resuiting, estates to be settled and the thou- sand and one petty matiers to be ex- Dlained to his charges, twelve ac- sistants, including one vice consul and eleven clerks, are necassary in run the consulate. The consul said that figures now being-compiled will show where more than 170,000 Polish- Americans, native born and natural- 1zed, served with Uncle Sam's forces during the great war. The district included .Genflrnl Meydenthal's terr! from Chicago to the coast on the west takes in the states of Indian Minnesota and Wisconsin to the north and cast. There are approximately { 1.000.000 Poles in_the district, 330,000 of whom are in Chicago alone. There are three Polish consuls gen- eral in the western hemisphere, one each at New York. Chicago and Montreal, while four consuls look af- ter the work at Pittsburgh, Detroit Buffaio and Winnipeg.
