The Great Movement For Eight
Hours Not to Be Inaugu-
rated May 1.
This Conclusion Reached After
Reports Were Heard From Va
rious State Districts
A Manifesto Issued by the Executive
Board OF the United Mine

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 2s.-The great
projected strike of miners, May l, for eight
hours was declared off to-day by the exc
cutive board OF United Mine Workers OF
America. The board, which has been
hearing statements from presidents of state
organizations for several days, which were
unanimously against the movement at this

strike of the Pennsylvania coke regions. IA
battle waged by organized capital against
organized labor" says the address, (which
can only be termed the CORY precursor of a
seemingly inevitable strife on general and
more comprehensive manner. The United
mine workers has rendered those people
all the financial assistance possible, and in
addition has learned that there has been
within the competitive districts detection

rious sections and. as custodians Of the
interest of the people who placed us in the
positions We occupy, we positively, though
reluctantly. refuse with our eyes open, and
with full and complete knowledge Of the
situation, to jeopardize those interests, and
will not be responsible for accompanying
sufferings and sacrifices of strike constitu-
ents and their families, seeing, as we do,
the situation, and knowing that thousands
of vampires and vultures are waiting for
the first of May to feed, as it were, on the
sacrifices of the organized miners of the
country"
The board adds that it realizes the disap-
pOintment to many, but says honorable re-
treat is better than the maledictions of
people after they have suffered because the
truth was kept lack. 1t is, therefore, re-
solved that the eight hour movement be de-
ferred for the time being. and that the time
for action be left in the hands of ths execu-
tive board and the presidents of the various
districts. Local unions are appealed to for
aid for strikers. whose battles, says the ad-
