may suppose. The miners believe
that they could have got what has now
been agreed upon without going on n
strike. However much they may be In
error in that belief, they are roundly de-
nouucing the officials of the United Mine
Workers for yielding TO any compromise.
The operators believe that the men will
90 to work eventually, but that IL win he
two or three, and perhaps four, weeks
before all are at work The price fixed
for Indiana is a reduction of 10 cents per
ton.
