President Prepared Appeal. The Attorney-General in making pub lic, the President's proposal stated that it had brcn prepared by the Chief Exes rutive with a view to appealing to the miners generally throughout tbe coun try. However, he said, before it was msde public, Acting Presiident Lewis and Secretary-Treasurer William Green, of the mine workers, culled upon him Katurdsy afternoon and were ahown the President's statement. The union leaders, Mr. Palmer said, finally agreed to urge their general committee to ac cept ths-President's plan and called the meeting here today. Hearing la Postponed. - In order that the plan for settlement might be submitted to the general com mittee this afternoon, the government this morning naked and obtained post ponement of hearing of rhargea of criminal contempt pending in Federal Court here against tha 84 union beads who form the general committee. At aommittee. At the same time Judge Anderson grantfiill,ll,,ot-,re11 u"d. however, for a motion, by government attorney for pontponepient of a Federal grand jury investigation of alleged violation of th Lever law aad anti-trust acta, by both miner, and operator. Th contempt proceedings -are et for hearihg next Tuesday and the grand jury investiga tion for the following day. Attomey-Oeneral galmea. waa in tba eourt room thia morning when the con tempt eaaea came up for trial, but took no part ia th proceedings. Ths government s request lof post ponement was made by C. B. Ames, as sistant to th Attorney General, and by L. F.. Black, United Btatea District At torney. Judge Anderson made no com ment on th contempt eases or tne gov ernment' requests, beyond iiemark a to when they thould b brought up again. That ODDOsItioa to acceptance of th President's plaa developed soon after th miner' session convened waa evi denced by scraps of th speeches which could be hsaxd outaido the hall la which the meeting waa being held in a loeal hotel. Tba argument during th after noon waa verr-heated and clearly indi cated that the attitude of some of the delegate undoubtedly was delaying llnal decision in favor of ending th strike. Durlns? th day Acting President Lewis received a telegram from Beero- tary of Labor Wilson urging th miner to accept the new proposal and it is known that thia mrssag together with, the President' proposal and a memor andum agreed upoa by Lewi aad Green, and th Attorney General was read at th miners' meeting. President Wilson' P reposal. The tzt ef President Wilson' pro posal to th miner follows: "l have watched with deep concera th development la tlr bituminous coal atrika and am convinced there ia much confusion in the minds of th peopl generally and possibly of both parties to thi unfortunate controversy a to th attitude and purpose of th government ia it handling of th situs tion. "Th win owner offered a wag In crease of 20 per cent conditioned, how over, npoa th price of coal being raised to aa amount sufficient to cover thia proposed increase of wages, which would haw addsd at least 150,000,000 to th annual eosl bill of th peopl. Th Fuel Administrator in th light of present information ha taken th posi tion, aad I think with ntir justifica tion, that th publi is now paying a high price for coal a it ought to be, required to pay and that any wag in crease mad at thi tira ought to com out of th profit of th coal operator. "Ia reaching this conclusion, th fuel administrator expressed th personal oplnioa that tha 14 per cent Insreass in all mla wage I reasonsbl beeaus it would aqualia th miner' wagea an th avarag with tho cost of llviag, but b mad it perfectly clear that th oper ator and minors r at liberty to agree npoa a larger Increase provided th operator will psy It out of their profits so that th pric of tool would remaia th Mot. ' "Th Boeretsry of Labor, la aa affort at conciliation between th parti x pre; hi persoaal oplnioa ia favor of a larger increase. Hi effort at aoa- clliatioa failed, howvr, because th oal operators war unwilling ta pay th leal h proposed aaleos th governmsnt would advance th pric of coal to tha public, aad thi tba government was an willing to do. Th fuel administrator had alt sug gested that a tribunal be created ia which th miner and operator would be equally represented t consider fur ther auestloas of wage aad working condition js well ks profit of opera tor aad I roper price for coal. I shall, of course, b glad to aid ia th forma tioa of auch a tribuaal. ' - "I nnderstaad th operator have generally agreed to absorb aa taereaa of 14 per eeat ia wage, o that th public would pay not to exceed th present pric fixed by th Fuel Admin istrator and thua a way I opened to secure th eosl of which th people stand la need if tha miner will resume work oa these terms pending a thor ough Investigation by an Impartial com mission, which , may readjust the wsc and price. , "By th acceptance of auch a plaa th miner tr assured Immediate iteady employment at a aub'tsnttsi Increase in w.s "d r further sssured prompt nve-t -.nn snd actioa upon rr-'!-TS which are not now settled to their satis faction. I must believe that with a elear understanding of these point they will promptly return to work. If, nevertheless, they persist in remaining oa strike they will put themselves ia aa attitude of striking in order to force the government to increase the price of coal to th public, to s 1 give a still further increase in wages at thia time, rather than allow th flusstioa of further increase In wages to be deslt with la an orderly manner by a airly constituted tribunal representing all per ties interested. "No group of our people can justify such a position and the miner owe it to themselves, their families, their fel low workmen, in other Industrie end to their country to return to work. immediately npon a general resump tion of mining, I shall be glid to aid in the prompt formation of such a tri bunal a I have indicated to make far ther inquiries into this whole matter and to review not only the reasonableness of the wages st which the miners start to work but also tha reasonableness of the government prices for coal. Such a tribunal should within sixty days make its report, which eould be used as a basis for negotiation for a wage agreement. I must make it elesr, how ever, that the government cannot give ita aid to any such further investiga tion until there is a general resumption of work. "I ask every individual miner to give his' personal thought- to- what iTsa?." I hope he uaderatands fully that hs will be hurting his own interest aad the in terest of bis family and will be throw ing eeuntleti other laboring men out rrf employment- ff he -shall Cfiotiu us tho present strike and further thaa thst he will create nn unnecessary nnd unfor tunate prejudice against organized labor which will b injurious to tha best In terests of working men everywhere.
