topresented in the conference of
miners and operators Tuesday and
the execution of additional agree

“Despite the unfavorable economic
conditions and with tremendous
political and financial influences
raised against us, we arc merging
from the conflict victorious," he said.
He said the miners had won the
three “main and principal issues in
volved in the strike of 660,000
miners in the anthracite and bitumin
ous mining industry.”
“The miners have won their conten
tion against the idea of single state
settlements with their unions split up
into thirty or more segregated groups
the statement said.
“The miners have won their fight
against a reduction of wages in the
mining industry.
“The miners have likewise won
tbeir fight for retention of collective
bargaining as against substitution of
arbitration.”
Asked regarding the policy of the
United Mine Workers regarding its
members in non-union fields, Mr-
Lewis said:
“It is the intention of the United
Mine Workers to exercise the full
moral and financial strength of the
organization to sustain and protect its
members in their fight against power-

Washington, D. C. Aug.. 15--The
rail uml coal strikers will bring about
a situation this coming winter that
will try the patience . courage and
patriotism of the people. Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, declared
yesterday In a pointed statement
This situation was pointed to by
Mr. Borah, who Is chairman of the
Senelo lalbor committee, a* a further
reason against enactment of the sol
diers bonus bill, which under present
plans Is to be culled up in the Senate
next week.
“The situatinu In the Industrial
world Is very serious, more dlscorag-
ing than when tbe President name be
fore Congress In July, 1921. and asked
that the bonus bill for economic and
linunclul reasons, be postponed.” he
said. "By reason of the transporta
tion niirl the coal situation, conditions
have been aggravated almost to a
point of disaster.
"The situation startles anyone who
stops to think about It and who knows
the real situation. The outlook for
the settlement of these mutters is not
very encouraging. But. If they were
settled this week, still the damage,
the Injury to business would be very
great. The coming wlnted at the very
best Is lo try the patience and the
courage and the patriotism of our peo
ple—the whole industrial world, capi
