nent Settlement.
COLUMBUS, o., June 14.-Prssident A.
A. Adams of the Ohio Miners associs-
ton issued call today for meeting Of
miners to select their best men to rep
resent them, as business OF vast import
ance will have to be acted upon. Sec
rotary Mcbride of the National Miners
organization states that unless the COM
panies' agreement is accepted by the
strikers, q general meeting will be
called, at which the national officers
will tender their designations. McPfide
gives it as his opinion that unless the
miners accept the agreement they will
be compelled to go back to work at 40
cents q ton instead OF 80.
The National officers formerly treated
Adams and his theories with contempt,
but since he has so strong following
and endorsement of his course on the
agreement he is recognized az formid-
able factor. Mcbride claims that the
action of the executive board in signing
the acale was in accord with the views
of the district presidents, OF whom
Adams was one.
