THE MINERS STRIKE
THE STRIKE OF THE MINERS WILL

Naught and the Straegle Will Ne
Continued Indefinitely.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 3O.-There were
ffty reporters present at the meeting of
the representatives of the Pittsburg coal
operators to-day which was called to
hear the report of the committee Of fif-
teen who had been appointed to formu.
late plan for settlement of the strike.
As announced yesterday this committee
fa'!ts: I" agree OIL any pluu and they
tskci that It be discharged. The request
was granted and Immediately aftcrw rd
klcxandtr Dcmpsl.'r suggested that IL
mmittce Of ten he appointed to takc
the place of the discharged committee,
but with unlimited power to act. The
scggt stion was acted upon without much
dist ssion, and the follow ing committee
was selected: NJ. H. Taylor, chairman;
Thomas Young, U. A. Andrews, u. w.
Schlendeberg, l.. L. Robbins, Alex Demp-
ster, II. II. Boyle, John Blythe, B. II.
Brazncll aud w. p. Dcarmitt. The ill.,
structions given the committee denote 4
general will on the part of the strikers
to wind up the strike with all possible
haste and at the best terms to be Sc
cured. The committee has full power to
act for the Pittsburg operators, and can
settle for the district at any time they
may see 6t. This is n decided change
of mind on the part of the operators az
expressed ut the Cleveland conference,
and taken together with the favorable
aspect of affairs in Illinois seems to in
dicate that the end of the great strike
is near ut hand.
