Washington, Not. 14. (By the As
sociated Press.") Demands of coal roin
ra for a thirty-hour week and a
60
par cant increase in wages, and an un
yieldlngTpositfonby the operators alike
'w.ra declared "imDoesible" by Secre
tary Wilton in opening today the con
farenet called to bring peace to the
' Bituminous fields of the nation. To
obtain thia peace the secretary pro-
Dosed three plans of procedure-.
Declaring that the Washington wage
agreement still is legally in force Mr.
Wilson told the operators and miners
that the people of the United States
wore not "Shylocks" and do not want to
exact "the technical provisions of ' a
. . .. . . i i i. -
bond when me conditions unuer wuku
tha bond was mad hse changed."
- He added that "if any great ehange
la made ia the contract the people of
tha United States are the ones who
will have to pay," and throughout hit
J remarks emphasised the public interest
lia the coal settlement.
I. . Tha Tare Proposals.
The three proposal expected to aid
'the two factions in arranging the new
wage agreement wefe act forth by the
labor secretary a"follow:
; First negotiation through joint wage
scale committees representing all dis
tricts! second, negotiation through con
current sessions of committees from
the various districts, and third, nego
tiation tret of an agreement ia, th
. central competitive fields and then of
agreement for vther ttelds .wtur tnat
, of the central district as a basis.
. After hearing Secretary .Wilson, tha
toafereneo adjourned until II o'elock
tomorrow to permit tha" miners and
Operator to discuss separately the'
plan which would, b moat acceptable
(to each. -r ' -.,-.
' Indication of Conflict.
' Indieation of a conflict on tha scope
" af the aareement to' be negotiated in
' solving the question of recognition of
non-union, workers developed at tn
outse of.' tha conference and became
more apparent in tha two group meet
ings which followed, v
Discussion in the"' miners' , caucus
which followed th-eonferenee session
hinged on the question whether opera
tors -representing both, union and non
union fields, would be Included in the
conference,-and the effect any agree
ment reached by tha conference might
have in those field where the miner
do not have eoatracta with tha opera-
tor. ' Although officers of tha United
Mine Workera refused to -make any
statement following their meeting, it
waa learned that the plan for a nation'
- wida conference waa favored, but be
fora any proposal ia agreed to Secre
tary Wilson will be asked to make clear
to tha conference that tha rights of
organized labor are to be protected in
those districts where the mining unions
are not recognized by tha coal com
panies. ', - ,
Opera tors' Point of View.
The operators, however, did not look
with favor on any agreement covering
nil fields. Tha Washington wage agree
ment for tha first time, tha .operators
asserted fixed tha same data for tha
expiration of contracts between miners
and operator in nil parts of the coun
try. Tear of tha power this arrange
ment give tha worker to bring about
n natioa-wid strike wae expressed by
tha operators, who indicated a desire to
return to the old plan f bating nil
wags seal eon tracts on tha agreement
reached in tha central competitive fields.
.- Owner of mines outside of tha can
trai competitive fields conferred before
tha opening of tha conference and op
position was expressed to participation
in tha negotiations. - ... , ,,-.
May Ba P retracted Session.
Owing to the likelihood of protracted
discussion of tha scope ol the confer
ence before even the demands of tha
miner ars brought into lean- many on
both aide of the controversy predicted
today that tb sessions might continue
for eevernl weeks. t
Both miner and operator asserted
tonight thai Secretary Wilson' address
would have a powerful affect ia bring
ing closer together tha extremes of
both sides. Tha secretary's address
which waa heard by approximately 50
member of the conference in absolute
silence, waa delivered alowly and ap
parently with deep feeling and convic
tion. Tha only applause of tha session

The attack on the Universal Training

The contention of Secretary Baker
