THEY WANT THEIR PAY RESTORED.
The NI., K. 6 T. Trainmen Requested by In- dian Territory Striking Miners Not to Handle Scab Coal-Michi-
 gan Miners Go Out.

COLUMBUS, O., June fs.-President John McBryde, of the United Mine Workers, said last evening, in his opin- ion, the whole of the Hooking valley mining region would resume work to- day. Sunday creek miners will not and Jackson miners may not.
 The Massillon miners will not resume. They struck last February for 15-cent differential over the Hooking valley wages, and will continue the fight. Many Ohio districts will not resume to- day that would have done so had not President Adams called the state cor vention.
 As to western Pennsylvania, he said that the mines would resume opera lions except five or six, whose officers would not pay the prices fixed by the settlement. In Indiana the block coal miners, composing third of the min CTS in the state, had accepted the settlement, but whether they would go to work to-day in the face of the fact that the other miners had rejected it or not, he could not say.
 illinois will not go to work" said he. "I said to the operators at the time the settlement was made that I did not believe the eastern and north ern Illinois miners who were to be bound by it would go to work before two or three weeks had passed"
 President McBryde thinks they will all go to work eventually under the settlement, and hopes that the resump- tion of work may not be postponed longer than two weeks.
 Outside of this competitive district" said President McBryde, matters are going on, smoothly toward settle ment.h
 WANT THEIR PAY RESTORED.
 CHICAGO, June 1s.-It is said one ex- pected result of the convention of the American Railway union, now holding in this city, will be the demand in the near future for restoration of pay on several roads running into Chicago. The convention has under advisement several plans for a mediation and ad- justment of grievances and after the adoption of one it will be put almost immediately to practical use.
 The local unions, composed of em- ployes of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis & Chicago railway, and those of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, on both of which the men have had their wages reduced during the present year, have been holding daily meet with view to concerted action. The men are thoroughly organized on both lines, having grown better acquainted during the convention and have no doubt of their ability to secure their demand for a return to the wage scale of 1893 without the necessity of strik- ing.
 During the entire convention the evenings of the delegates have been oc- cupied, in many cases, with the work of organization which, stimulated by the presence of so many leaders in this city, is proceeding with unexpected rapidity.
 REFUSE TO HANDLE SCAB COAL.
 SOUTH MCALEsTER, I. T., June 1S.- The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad trainmen have been requested by the Indian territory striking miners not to handle scab coal. The railroad men have considered the miners proposition favorably and express themselves as being willing to help the miners out, and they will strike rather than handle scab coal.
 ORDERED TO RESUME WORK.
 SCRANTON, Pa, June 1s.-The orders have been issued for the mines of the Delaware x Hudson Canal Co. to re- sume work at full time for an indefi- nite period. The order affects 10000 men at the mines, and will greatly help the railroad employees. It is said that the coal trade will be heavy for some time to come.
 MICHIGAN MINERS GO OUT.
 IRoNwOoD, Mich, June 1S.-The min. CTS on the Gogebic range yesterday de- cided to strike to-day. The companies refused to negotiate with committees from the unions, but are willing to hear their workmen individually as to their grievances. Should all the miners strike 5000 men will be affected. The mine owners threaten, in case of a gen. eral walk-out, to close down the prop critics indefinitely. The W orkmen de. mand an increase in pay.
