STRIKE COMPROMISE RATIFIED.
Pathetic Letter Read from President
Mcbride in Which Utter Failure Is
Very Frankly Conceded.

PIrTsBURG, Juue 1j.-Ths convention
Of coal miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict today endorsed the action of the
national and district officers by ac-
cepting tha 60 cent rate and will re-
sumo work Monlay The vote was 50
to 81, hut it was made unanimous i'm
modiately afterward.
President Cairns, of this district,
made an address in which he told the
delegation that the compromise terms
were better than any the miners have
had for years. and in some sections bet.
ter than they ever had. Cameron Mil
Ter. OF the national executive board,
read letter from John Mcbride, as
follows:
The funds have been exhausted and we
are hundreds of dollars in debt. There
was no money TO pay the expenses Of field
workers and they have been ordered
home. From all quarters came the cry for
men or money to keep the strike from
breaking We could send them neither,
and the result was easily foretold Your
officials have been working without salary
and have exhausted their means to keep
the movement alive. Dozens OF our mem-
bers are III Jail and others have been ar
rested for conspiracy, and we have not a
dollar to defend them.
After the reading Of this letter the
vote WAS taken upholding the COM
promise settlement. There are nearly
20, 600 minerS in the ittsourg district
and AS Il majority of the operators are
satisfied with the new scale, number
of miners will return to work Monday.
