out the Tuscarawas valley is imminent.
This situation OF affairs has been brought
about by two causes; First, the action of
the operators meeting in Cleveland last
Thursday, at which it was declared by res
olution that the price of mining was too
high by 10 or 10 cents per ton, and the ap-
pointment Of committee to meet repre-
sentatives of the miners in this city to-day
in an effort to adjust the differences be-
tween them; and secondly, the refusal OF
the miners to meet the Operators Arbitra-
tion Committee. Prior to the 18th Of Jan.
uary last the price of mining was 95 cents
per ton. On that day a proposition was
made the miners in language as fol-
lows:
