COLUMBUS, O., June 14.-"If the Ohio
miners continue TO follow the lead OF
Adams and refuse 20 accept the com
promise agreement / predict that be-
fore a month the men in the Hooking
Valley will be forced TO go back to work
at forty cents ton instead OF sixty
cents secured for them by the agree
ment," said President John Mcbride
tSnight after reading the call OF Dis
trict President Adams for State con-
vention OF miners here next Tuesday to
resist the settlement.
Ever since the memorable struggle
OF 1884" continued Mr.. Mcbride, 1.-THE
mine workers officials have continually
had to exert all their diplomatic powers
to hold the operators OF the valley in
line, and nothing better could happen
for them than a schism in the Mine
Workers Union. 10 1884 we taught
them lesson by presenting to them q
united front and
WE BAYKRUPTED MANY OF THEM,
as well as the Hooking Valley Railroad.
The effect OF that victory has been and
will continue TO be lasting II the miners
will be guided by the judgment Of their
officers and preserve intact their organ
izatior. But let our forces become
nj "A
the respect of the Hooking Valley
operators and they will jump at the
chance OF reducing wages to 40 cents as
they did In 1884 aud effectually shut out
all compatition from the Pittsburg dis
trict. With the union out Of the way
PittSburg operators will be crowded out
of their own markets on account OF the
natural advantages possessed by the
Hooking Valley operators when once
they have the opportunity TO employ
cheap labor"
COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 14-President
A. A. Adams, OF the Ohio Miners Asso-
citation District No g., issued a call TO-
day for meeting OF the miners IN Col
umbus, Tuesday, June 10. He asks the
miners to select their best men TO rep
resent them, as business OF yastl IMPORT
ance will be acted upon.
Secretary McBryde, OF the National
Miners organi zation, states that unless
the compromise is accepted by the
miners, that a general meeting will be
called at which the National officers
will tender their designations. Nc
Bryde gives it as his opinion that unless
the Ohio miners accept the agreement,
they will be compelled to go back to
work al forty cents ton instead OF
sixty.
THE NATIONAL OFFICERS
formerly treated Adams and his theories
with contempt, but since he has so
strong a following and indorsment OF
his course on the agreement, he IS rec
ognized as formidable factor. Presi-
dent Mcbride recognizes the importance
OF giving the Adams movement more
than passing attention.
Adams to-day telegraphed j. w. MUIR
ray, Vice President Of the Illinois
miners, that the Executive Board
signed over his head; that the men
would not accept the compromise, and
asking him 10 stand firm. Murray al
the recent meeting refused, with Adams
TO sign the scale. The harmony Of action
between these two, together Win ths
fact that the miners are following
Adams, holding meetings and demand
ing the resignation OF the national ON
GERS. leads 10 the conclusion that Adams
is getting In line 10 Gil McBride's place
should the latter resign. hcBrlds
claims that the action OF the Executive
Board ia signing the scale was IN ac'
cordance with the views Of the DistrleI
Presidents, Of whom Adams vas Que.
WILL GET HEARING TUESDAY.
