toEs, committees of miners and mine ope-
rators, who have been in session for several
days, have adjourned sine die without accom-
| plishing any settlement This ends all efforts
| to put an end to the strike.
The propositions of the miners were num-
bered one, two and three. The first was 81
and ~ cents per ton, or 631S cents yearly
price; the second, to leave the whole matter
to arbitration with privileges of unlimited
argument, the decision of the arbitrator to

| screen coal offered by the old twelve foot bar
as test for thirty or sixty DAYS and place
the percentage upon the nut and slack passed.

OF organization, to suspend work.
j. f. Young, of Scranton, Kan, repre-
senting 1900 miners of Usage county, was
IN the city and in an interview said that
Usage and Scranton had sent him personally
to assure the miners of Cherokee and Craw-
ford counties that they would stay out until
the matter was settled.
An appeal sent to the east some time ago
by Secretary Lacey is meeting with hearty
response. This. is the first time the miners
of the west have asked for aid. 1t is now
the policy of the miners of Cherokee and
Crawford counties to totally shut down
every place that produces one pound of
commercial coal.
The operators will at once post notices
to resume work and all strikers wishing to 60
back will be employed. Agents are out en-
ploying men from the south and other points
outside the district and over LOCO colored
men at those points have signifed their will
lngness to come. Some of the operators
favor waiting to give the men another oppor-
tunity to study the matter, but the mojority
scout at the idea, saying the miners have
had all the time necessary.
The W. d J. Lanyon Smelter company
have shut down one block of their smetlers
and more will follow in few days.
