and opened it's jaws, but at the same mo-

WILL NOT RETURN TO WORK
The Secret Ballot of Brazil Miners Said
to Be Against Ending the Strike.
Probability that Operators Will at Once Equip
Their Mines with kachines-Two Views
Of the Proposed Labor Federation.
spec,al to the 1ndianapolis Journal.


Brazil, Ind, July ia private ballot
has been taken in the block-coal fields here
to determine whether the miners would re-
sumo work or not. The returns are not all
in yet. but sufficient amount have been
received to indicate that the proposition TO
go to work was defeated by at least four to
one.
The situation here has not changed much
since July. On that day the miners, by
popular vote, refused to accept the terms
of the operators, even with the concessions
secured for them. They were minor con-
cessions, but they counted up in the ag-
gregate to good round sum in year.
The operators, on learning the result of the
vote, said they would introduce machinery
in the mines. One mine, No. 10,
north of Brazil several miles. is
being equipped with air machines
One thing to cause delay is the progress be-
ing madein mining machinery. Heretofore
compassionate machines only haye been in
use. Within the past few weeks two cleo
trio mining machines have been invented
and are now being tested. One is direct
pick, the other a drill. Electricity IS a
motor In mining is wonderful invention,
and a revolution is naturally looked for:
The movement for machinery Is general
throughout the State. A committee of
operators representing Clay. Vigo, Sullivan,
Greene. Parke, and perhaps other counties,
are now at Shawnee, o., to inspect the
electric machines there in use since May 1.
Large orders secure lowest prices, also con-
siderations are now obtainable In order to
introduce the machines. Whatever may be
the outcome of the strike. it is not likely
that the operators will abandon the oppor-
tnnity afforded by electric machinery for
the old process of picks.
On June 10, the operators authorized the
Journal correspondent to say that they
could give ample work on days notice to
all the striking miners in Clay county at
seventy and seventy-five cents, if their
offer was accepted at once; but that If they
did not accept until the years business
was lost by competitors taking the con-
tracts they could not pay the prices offered,
nor give the work as promised. The miners
blindly continued the strike, believing po-
litical demagogues, and listening to their
competitors. If the result of their vote had
been to go to work, the next question
would have been to get the work, and the
prices once offered. The outlook is not en-
couraging. The introduction of machinery
may displace two-thirds of the 2, 900 miners
that originally struck.
