INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31. The
following telegram has been sent by
President Lewis, of the mine workers,
to Secretary Wilson, in reply to one
from the secretary:
“You telegram, 29th instant, was
read by me to assembled conference
members of our international execu

competitive field and presidents of our
various districts yesterday. On be

WHAT IS THE GREATEST
DISTINGUISHING ASSET
OF AMERICUS?
The question will be answered
in the “American Forum,” of THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN (Nov. 2),
by Mayor J. E. Sheppard, and who
could be better qualified to answer
the question than the Mayor?
An official of each of the follow
ing cities will also answer the
question for his city: Savannah,
Macon, Augusta, Columbus, Way
cross, Rome, Athens, and Albany.
Do YOU know our sister cities
of Georgia? You ought to. You
ought to be able to tell any strang
er who asks about them. For
many are asking today.
The South, and Georgia in par
ticular, comparatively unscathed
by the unrest which is making life
miserable elsewhere, stands just
now in the open doorway to the
greatest era of progress and pros
perity in the history of Dixie.
The harassed homeseekers
throughout America are talking
“GEORGIA.”
And YOU should be able to tell
them what the next American
Forum will tell you!

sented to operators the wage demands
as formulated by our international i
convention, which was thoroughly rep-'
resentative of the views of our mem- I
bership. Operators declined to con
sider the merits of our demands and
refused to negotiate on a basis which
wouid be productive of any results.
After one week adjournment was tak
en to reconvene in Philadelphia, Octo
ber 9, and joint session of three days
was held in that city. Miners’ repre
sentatives made every effort to nego
tiate agreement, but were met by un
compromising refusal of coal opera
tors to consider merits of our posi
tion.
Anxious To Negotiate.
“At that time no strike order was
in effect and none would have been
issued had there been any construc
tive suggestions of a competent na
ture offered by the coal operators.
Later on when we were called into
conference by yourself at Washing
ton, day by day we reiterated we were

4 BIG YELLOWBOX FOR 30c
Ask your druggist to show you a
box of Begy’s Mustarine; he and
every other druggist in America is
authorized to return your money if
it does not do as advertised.
Doctors have prescribed it for 19
years. It’s the original, and best
improvement on the old-fashioned
mustard plaster, and quickly stops
rheumatic pains, neuritis, neuralgia
and lumbago, and instantly relieves
tonsilitis, pleurisy and bronchitis.
Just rub it on, and over night
away goes sore throat, coughs and
chest colds.
For sprains, swellings and all
aches and pains, it has no equal,
while for sore feet, nothing yet dis
covered can compare with it. Its the
I quickest pain killer on earth. Be
I sure its Begy’s always in the yellow
, box.

of negotiating wage agreement whmh
would avert strike in bituminous in
dustry.
“Our position remains the same to
day. We shall hold ourselves in read
iness to attend any joint conference
which may be arranged by you upon
tan oasis and stand ready to recon
vene international convention of our
organization whenever our scale com
mittee has received an honorable
proposition for presentation to such
convention.
1 ermit me to say to you, sir, the
unprecedented and unwarranted ac- ■
tion of cabinet and president of the I
united States in issuing statement of
Saturday last has done more to pre
vent satisfactory settlement of im
pending strike and working out of
wage agreement than any other ele
ment which has entered into the sit
uation. Ihe president’s statement is
a fiercely partisan document because
it attacks the intention of the mine
workers without even suggesting that
mine operators may have brought
about this unhappy situation, and fur
thei because threat is made to exer
cise full force of government to pre
vent stoppage of work without any
corresponding threat to exert full
force of government to enforce fair
working conditions and a living wage.
“Sad Commentary.
“It is, indeed, a sad commentary
upon principles of square dealing
when the president of the United
States and his cabinet by unanimous
vote ally themselves with sinister fi
nancial interests which seek to deny
justice to labor and precipitate our
country into industrial turmoil. The
president states: ‘The mine workers’
projected strike is not only unjustifia
ble, but unlawful.’ He states further:
‘lt is wrong both morally and legally.’
In other words, the president says it
is a crime for the miners to strike
and threatens punishment for the
crime.
“May I point out to you that under
laws of the United States beyond any
presidential amendment or abroga
tion, it is not a crime to strike; it can
not be made a crime to strike, and
that an individual cannot be punished
for striking as for the commission
of a crime.
“The president of the United States
is the servant and not the master of
the constitution. The constitution is
the supreme law of the land. In the
interpretation and application of the
constitution the decisions of the su
preme court are final.
“The president’s statement of Oc-;
tober 25, 1919, threatens invasion of
constitutional and inalienable rights
of American citizens. It is the climax
of longi series of attempted usurpa- 1
tions of executive power.
“The presidential statement an
nounced as its excuse for threatening I
invasion of constitutional rights ‘that
the war itself is still a fact.’ Two
days later, however, in a veto mes
sage to congress, the president refus
ed to approve enforcement of an act
which he said ‘was passed by reason
| of the emergency of war and whose
I objects have been satisfied in the de-
I mobilization of the army and navy;’
If the president was right on Monday,
1 submit, sir, that he was wrong on
' Saturday.
Threat To Miners.
“The presidential edict threatens to
deny mine workers protection of-both
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
' ments to the constitution. They are
threatened with involuntary servitude
by the presidential attempt to make
a tefusal to work individually or col
lectively a crime.
“This despite the supreme court has
repeatedly held that under these
amendments a laborer can not be
forced, even under guise of a con
• tract obligation to render it voluntary
I service. Supreme court of United
States has always asserted ‘there is
no more important concern than to
safeguard the freedom of labor, upon
i which alone can enduring prosperity
I be based.’
