ers here yesterday, Fat which at least
10000 miners were represented, it was
unanimously voted to never dig ton OF
coal until the operators restore last years

adopted expressive of the feelings of the
miners of this district. These resolutions,
referring to the Columbus compromise,
declare that:
1--WE, the mine of Spring Valley, Ills,
in mass meeting assembled, believe such
action on the part of the national officers
to be a cowardly surrender of the princi-
pie for which we are contendng.
I'VE repudiate the action of our ma
tional officers in adopting the aforesaid
scale, and call upon those who signed the
scale to resign from the positions which
they have disgraced. And we demand
that the present officers shall call a dele
gate convention of the miners of the Uni
ted States at the earliest day possible for
the purpose of electing new officers and
devising ways and means for continuing
the present suspension"
The miners here hope that these same
resolutions will be adopted by every local
union in the northern and possibly in the
southern and central Illinois fields also.
