officers OF the Mine Workers Union. who
made the compromise at Columbus
yesterday, can give q satisfactory reason
for so doing, the miners In the Pitts
burg district will not accept the
60 cent rate. and the strike viii continue.
President Mcbride has been telegraphed
for, and Is expected in the district
as soon as the crisis warrants
his presence. The miners throughout
the district are very decided in their
condemnation of the national officials as
well as the delegates 20 the conference,
who were instructed TO hold for the ~
cent rate and no compromise, and they
think their delegates were bulldozed into
giving the members of the ex-
ecntivs the right TO compromise. With
forty-three operators in the district
boiling the conference and refusing to be
bound by any decision made, the miners
claim they have no assurance that the
6e-cent rate will hold. and that uniform
rate Of 70 cents Is the only scale they can
agree to.
