northern Illinois has adjourned after
"A heated meeting. IL determined 10
repudiate the action OF the Columbus
years prices. The members invited
the operators TO meet them,
which they declined 10 do, stating
that they had already met the
miners representatives at Columbus,
and were ready 10 carry out the agree
ment made there, and invited the min
ers 20 do the same. On receipt of this
declination the miners declared for a
continuation OF the strike. The min
ers OF northern Illinois have isolated
themselves by this action, and taken
an independent stand. The trouble, IL
is thought, will now take on a more
acute form in this section.
