Of the opinion that the pending cur

that some of the small holders

as not significant. In many cases these
liouidations he thought were for the
purpose OF raising money with which
10 meet obligations falling due January

significance in the reported fact that the
svndicted had sold only 50 per cent OF
their holdings. 1t was his understand.
iny that many of the large holders, par
ticularly trust aud insurance companies.

ANOTHER MIxEns' STRIKE

May Result From the Rejection Of the
,S-sp compromi.e Rate Proposed.
!. PIrTsBURGH, Dec. 27.-The miners oil
the Pittsburgh district have rejected
the compromise rate proposed at the
delegate convention last week. The
vote of the locals was counted to-day,
and by a vote Of three to one it was de.
cided that nothing less than the sixty.
nine cent rate would be accepted. Re-
gardless OF this action many Of the
miners are now working at the fifty y-tive
cent rate adopted by the operators
association, while others have made in
dividuaI contracts at different prices
below sixty nine cents.
Should the convention Of miners and
operators to be held tomorrow fail to
accomplish settlement, another con-
yention of miners will be ca led to de-
eide whether strike shall be ordered.
