gestion OF the miners officials. The
operators represent over two-thirds Of
the bituminous coal fields In the United
States. More than half Of the miners
are represented. Western Pennsyl-
vauia, Ohio, Indiana and Northern and
Eastern Illinois is the territory repre-
sented by operators.

ner and K. S. Taley. The representa-
tives of the miners are all shown on the
Scale Committee. There are many in
terested persons here looking on.
Mr.. Morris, of Cleveland, understand
ing the meeting was suggested by the
miners, asked TO hear from them.
John Mcbride said the usual plan was
to appoint scale committee, but before
doing so the miners desired TO hear
from the Pennsylvania operators as to
what interests were represented and as
to what influence any split among them
might have.
NJ. II. Taylor said he accepted the In
vItation TO come here with the under
standing that the miners had receded
from the position they held at Cleye-
land. Sixty-three Pittsburg operators
favored settlement. Fifty-three were
onposed. Out OF this mum Der
fourteen represented mines in the big
vein district who Wovld not pay the
same price as other operators. 1t was
not fair that they should. However, n
fair agreement was reached thirty
four OF the opposing mines would join
the sixty-three in accepting the scale.
Colonel Sweet said Illinois would
stand by any reasonable agreement
made al this meeting.
The meeting then adjourned until 4
D. m. TO give the scale committee tine
10 work and operators time 10 confer
with each other. This continued until
midnight, as stated above.
