win Hold Out for o2 1-2c Cents,

CENTRALIA, ILL.,, June 12.-The miners
here had a meeting this evening TO de-
termine what course they would pursue In
the matter of resuming work. There are
about five hundred striking miners in this
city who were getting 5s1a cents per ton
over an inch and half screen. These men
were not complaining at the price paid
when the strike originated, but went out
in sympathy with the general strike. They
now find that the southern Illinois miners
have not been provided for in the regula-
ton in the scale of prices fixed at Colum-
bus, and they must, If they resume, work
again on the same terms with the opera
tors here. The object of the meeting was
to fix price for this section. After some
discussion on the matter, IL was deter
mined to fix a rate of 621a cents, uniform
winter and summer rate. This is GA cents
more than they were receiving before they
went out, and the operators here declare
they will not put them to work at better
rates than they were receiving at the time
the strike was declared, that is, 56A cents.
The miners have nearly all signed the
agreement with the leaders to hold out
till they get the 62l2 cents

AT PITTsBURG.
Some Operators Say They Will Not
Accent the ComDrOmise.

PITTSBURG, June 12.-The settlement
Of the coal strike, at Columbus, was re-
ceived with great satisfaction among all
classes of people, although some operators
and miners are not pleased with the COM
promise. Many operators who opposed the
compromise say they will not abide by
the result, but it is the general opinion
among friendly operators that the agree
ment will put an end TO the importation
of nonunion men by the operators in thick
vein districts, for the reason that the
hiring of deputies will be too expensive.
The friendly operators have already begun
preparations to resume, and in a few
days their mines will be running. Organ
izer Harris says the settlement Is dis
appointment to the miners, and while he
does not expect them TO refuse work AT
the new rates they will regard the move
ment as unsuccessful.
A prominent labor official said to-day:
"The settlement reached yesterday is not
satisfactory 10 US. We think 7O-cent rate
is the lowest We can consider, and If no
further concessions are made IL is likely
the fourth pool will demand higher rate,
or continue their end of the STRIKE" The

this rumor and have no doubt that the men

throughout the district are very decided

cials. because all of the delegates TO the
convention were instructed to hold out
for the 79-cent rate and compromise,

iex xscutive committee the right of COM
promise. With forty-three operators in the
district boiling the conference and refus-

Special to the indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. June 12-The re-
ports from the bituminous mining districts
of the State are to the effect that it will
require two three weeks, perhaps four,
TO get all the men back at work under the
60-cent scale. The operators understand
the sentiment with the men and will not
try to push matters. Mr.. Leslie Thomas,
president OF the Indiana Block Coal Ex-
change, the Chicago trust company for all
the block coal output, came from Chicago
this morning. He said that the action of
the Columbus conference in fixing the
price OF mining in the block field at 70
cents was an act in which the block coal
operators were not represented. He did not
say ii would not be adhered to- Last year
the summer rate 70 cents. or only 5
cents in excess Of the price in the bitumi-
nous field. According to the Columbus
agreement there is a differential of 10
cents. Speaking of the vast quantity of
coal the Ohio and Pittsburg people had
stored at lake and river points when the
strike began, Mr.. Thomas said that to-
day Chicago is in less danger of a coal
panic than at any time for ten days past
because a great deal of the stored coal had
been brought to the city.
