MINERS WILL OFFER COUNTER PROPOSAL
Decision Reached to Recede From Demand for 60 Per Cent Wage Increase
Agreement is Expected Soon
Middle West Faces Curtailmen Of Industry for Lack of Fuel
of Fuel
Washington, Nov. 21—Coal operators and chiefs of 400,000 miners still on strike may reach agreement here today or tomorrow. Miners have decided to recede from their demand for a 60 per cent wage increase, according to Secretary Green of the United Mine Workers.
"I suppose we shall have to submit a proposal counter to the one the operators made yesterday," said Green. "It will be an irreducible minimum. It probably will be submitted today."
While President John L. Lewis refused to say what advance will be made by the miners in the proposal which will be submitted this afternoon, it is understood that it will ask for an increase of about 25 cents a ton, or ten cents more a ton than operators offered yesterday.
While coal miners and operators debated on a wage scale in Washington, several sections of the country particularly the middle west, were facing an iron shortage, as a result of the coal shortage. Curtailment of train service, abandonment of nonessential industries, rushing of rationing of reserve supplies, and re-establishment of railway services will help in an effort to conserve the diminishing coal supplies. In many places only a few days reserve remains. Above all was the danger of a nationwide freight embargo, adultery and insider control. Possibility, should the situation show no improvement within a month.

The President apparently is determined to vote Lodge's proposal that a two-thirds vote cannot be marshalled to pass it over his head. Thus he has succeeded in proclaim the war officially ended and thus the peace treaty has been adopted.

KILLING LOYALTY PLAN WITH TALK IS CLAIM
Sigma Delta Chi Believes Too Much Publicity is Wrecking Campaign
Must Begin Real Work Now
Journalistic Fraternity Declines to Endorse Put K. U.
First Plan
The loyaly campaign with the slogan "Put K, U, First," is being talked to death. Too much publicity and conversation without sufficient evidence of an attack, and this will come at an early date unless a decided change is made.
The foregoing is a substance of a decision Thursday night at a meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
Discussion began with a proposal to follow the lead of other University organizations in publicity indorsing the Loyalty movement. This the identity declined to do, on the ground that such indorsement meant nothing.
"Mere indorsement of the movement by organizations are becoming a joke," said Floyd L. H. Kockenhull, president of Sigma Delta Chi. "Every member of the Sigma Delta Chi belongs to some other organization which has come out backing the movement, and all are strong for putting K. U. first, but we feel that actions speak so much more loudly than words. The campaign has reached beginning to lag because of intensive publicity, and unless some results are shown soon, the students will begin looking upon the whole matter as a joke.
"The committee in charge of the campaign has never made any public announcement of a definite work to be accomplished, and this has caused students to wonder what it was all about. Sigma Delta Chi is eager to make sure that its loyalty at K. U., but would rather take up some certain definite work than merely to state its belief in the movement and do nothing more."
