WORKERS TO BE IDLE on MAY 1.

WORKERS TO BE IDLE on MAY /.
Pittsburg, April 9.-The Interstate Convention OF
Miners and Operators closed this evening suddenly.
after fierce battle of words and opinions Further
talk over the eghthour question was declared profit
less and an adjournment made sine die that fairly
made the miners heads swim though they accepted
the proposition with q smile. This action means
practically that tho interstate agreement has been
abolished, and that the amcable and harmonious re-
ations that have existed between the two classes
for the past five years broken of, and may not
be resumed. 1t also means that the $4,000 mine
workers In these two regions will stop work on May l.
affecting 100000 persons directly and hundreds OF
thousands indirectly. As the mineworkers OF the
country will also demand eighthour day, con-
tnnation Of work after May seems almost I'M
possible The two great organizations OF the country,
the Knights Of Labor and the Federation OF Labor,
are back Of the men, and their money will be at their
disposal
The most important business Of the convention,
aside from the pronounced disagreement Of miners
and operators, the passage Of the following resou-
ton at a secret meeting of the miners Immediately
after the operators filed out of the room
Resolved, That the miners of the competitive fields
demand an advance, May /, Of pick money (mlnefS
money! equivalent to advance OF 10 cents per
hour working day, and no place is TO resume opera,
ti0ns until all have received the advance, or until
Instructed by the Executive Board.
The labor leaders say tonight they pleased on
the whole that the operators DID not accept their
compromise proposition the eghtrhOur question.
II they had sectional strikes would have resulted,
while now the miners are u unit; non-unionists are
as pronounced as unIonsts and it is best that the
fight be made universal now and for good and all.
