Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMRER We are STflIKESETTELMENT wells confers GOVERNOR WITH LABOR LEADERS. Now Pheze of tho Situation Brought Out Mitcholl Makes a Statement After a conference yesterday after' Cornelius Kelleher and Christopher Evans, national organis ers of the United Mine Workers of America, Governor Heber M. Wells and President E. F. Holmes of the Commercial club began efforts to bring about a conference between the op posing parties and an amicable settlement of the Utah coal strike. Messrs. Kelleher and Evans, who come aa the personal representatives of President John Mitchell, brought out a new phase of the situation In their talk with the governor and an Interview with the Salt Lake Herald. They maintain that recognition of the union Is a subordinate Issue, and that a SO per cent Increase in wages Is the principal question. They also declare that the Utah miners are striking because of grievances of their own and that they will go back to work when these are rectified, regardless of what the Colo rado miners may do. Their statements were In radical va rlance from those of the Utah Fuel company official. John Mitchell In a telegram to Colonel Holmes, took the same stand as his representatives, and declared his willingness to meet representatives of the coal company to ar range an amicable settlement To clear the situation and to arrive at the facts of the matter. Governor Wells, with Colonel Holmes, sent a telegram to President Kramer asking him to confer with the delegation of miners. After their conference with Governor Wells, Mr. Kelleher and Mr. Evans made a statement to the Herald of the miners side of the controversy. This is not a sympathetic strike, caused by the action of the Colorado miner, said Mr. Kelleher. "The Utah miners have grievances of their own. If their demands are granted they will go back to work regardless of the action of the miners in Colorado. "First, the demand Is for a 20 per cent Increase In wages. The price per ton varies In different mines, but the average Is about 50 cents a ton. The number of tons a man can mine In a day varies with conditions, but the average Is about seven ton, the ordinary miner making $3 to 33.50 a noon with day. "The company claims to have granted a 10 per cent increase, but I fail to And any tangible evidence of this. I haven't seen any bulletins posted, as they claim, and the only way the mln-te- rs know of any such a change is from reading the statements the company officials have given the newspa- per. The statement of company officials that men are averaging 33.65 to 33.75 a day is not correct "Another thing asked Is check weighing. I am told that in many Instances the men have been forced to mine 3,000 to 3,500 pounds to get credit for a ton. They are willing to pay the expenses of a check welghman to look after their Interests, but the company refuses to grant this demand. "A pay day and better ventilation for the mines are also desired. Then In different mines there are less important demands, such as a stipulation that props shall be kept handy so that a miner shall not be forced to take half a day's time looking for them, and that miners shall not be nade to lose time while rail Is being laid. There are several other things to be adjusted, which nobody can understand thoroughly unless he Is familiar with a coal mine. We are willing to be fair and reasonable. If our demands are conceded, the men will go back to work. We will not hold out for a conference with ourselves as representatives of the miners union, but would be glad to see a conference between the company officials and a delegation of employee. We hall ask protection, however, for the men who have taken part In this strike. We shall want an agreement that they will not be discharged and. In turn, we wll agree to work alongside of men without discrimisemi-month- non-uni- ly on nation. "It the company officials will come to on agreement with us, we are willing t algn a contract that the men shall 'amain at work for a year, or eighteen nionths, or any specified time. This is Independent of what may be done In Colorado. "We are working under .the direction of Mr. Mitchell,- - said Mr. Evans. "We lah to take a broad and conservative tend and to bring about an amicable ttlement We wish no violence of any kind and earnestly urge against It Mr. Mitchell Is willing to come out here Personally to help settle this strike If he la asked to do so by the operators. AS, UH.B in with him." ThU is substantially what wa told Governor Wells, who had Invited Colonel Holmes n. meet with him and the representatives of the miners because of the colonel's part in appealing to Mr. Mitchell for a settlement. In re ponsa to the telegram he sent, Colonel Holmes yesterday received the following dispatch: Colonel Edwiu F. Holmes, president of Salt Lake Commercial Club Telegram Just received. The Utah miners are not striking in sympathy with min ers of Colorado. On the contrary they demand an Increase of 20 per cent. Not to exceed three organizers are stationed in Utah, and It unreasonable to suppose that two or three organizers could Intimidate Utah miners and prevent their working if they desired. I am anxious for an amlcnble settlement and am willing to meet represntativea of the coal company for the purpose of arranging condition of settlement JOHN MITCHELL. (Signed.) In the telegram sent by Colonel Holmes It waa stated that the strike had been made, not because of any personal grievances of the Utah miners, but In sympathy for the miners who are now out in Colorado. It was positively stated that night by an of flclal of the Utah Fuel company that the miners In Utah have not made any demand for an Increase In wages and that at the time the walk-owent into effect the miners at the various Utah coal camps were receiving the amount of wages for which the Colorado miners are striking. Upon the receipt of the telegram from President Mitchell and after conference with Messrs. Kelliher and Evan, the following message was wired to G. W. Kramer, president of the Utah Fuel company who la now ut at Sunnyalde: "Representatives of the United Mine of America state that the striking coal miners of Carbon county have grien vances other than recognition of union that have not been adjusted by you. A telegram received today from John Mitchell received to day corroborates this statement "In order to arrive at the truth will you meet a delegation of miners to confer and seek to arrive at a settlement of your differences? If so, when and where? We hereby tender our good offices to effect an amicable settlement (Signed.) "HEBER M. WELLS, Workers "Governor. "E. E.

To the Utah State Journal: The most high governor of Utah ha seen fit to order the national guard to the coal regiona to enforce law and order and to protect life and property; and I think hla action I approved by every cane person. But has It coine to our minds that our religious duty to humanity la higher and far more rlghteoua? Our obligation is to save life, and to that end to preserve the opportunities to men for gaining their means of living. If we take away the means of livelihood, we take away life as certainly as if by shooting or hanging. According to holy writ God stated to Mosea, "Therefore the land Is mine. It never shall be sold. You are strangers and sojourners with me. As I understand it. this "you includes the whole hu man family. Therefore I believe that every person born has equal right to land, sunshine, water and air.

If my Idea right It could have n pertinent application to the present coal strike. If private Individual and corporations had not been permitted to possess themselves of the lands of our state and country, there would be no great coal combinations, conflict with which has brought us to our deplorable condition. At present, however, It must be, admitted that we do not recognize the Idea in practice. We have deprived a large part of the human family or their and natural right It seems Impossible that when the Lord spoke those words, he hod counted on the van der Builds (please say van der Build, for that Is correct), Morgan, Stanford, Astor, Huntington, Trinity Church corporation, and the other people who monopolize the land.

What shall become of the other ninety millions? Must they go to the water and live with the fish? If the other ninety millions were not here the fifty gobblers would not care for the land, for the reason that It would have little value.

All these things we permit to go on freely and we do not try to protect people In their rights. If we did bo we would at the same time protect life and property more than we do now. Even the church la a silent spectator and apparently an accomplice in the work of robbing the people of their natural rights. Aa for my part, I am In favor of replevying our stolen property, but I do not think we can accomplish much. The best thing for ua to do la to unite and strike at the polls with our ballots for all they are worth. A couple of months ago I noticed In the Deseret News an article above the signature of Joseph F. Smith headed, "The Strike Craze." It told the working men that they should have their Just share of prosperity, but failed to state how much It la. Ia It one per cent, two per cent, fifty per cent or one hundred per cent? We all know that labor was here before capital; what waa a Just share of labor before capital existed? Mr. Smith also tells us that the working men sometime resort to extreme measure. Thats true; but In all agea churches have done the same thing. IL H. ALBERS.
