Throw Down the Guage Of Bat
tie to the Operators.
WILL QUIT APRIL 21sT.
The Strike Formally Ordered
After Discussion.
This Course Was Adopted Amid
Great Applause.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 1.-THE united
mine workers of America have ordered
a general strike April 21. This will re-
suit in SOC, 900 miners quitting work.
j. A. Crawford of Illinois, member of
the executive board, presented the reso-
tion to strike. He said from twelve to
fourteen resolutions had been referred
to the committee, but they had decided
10 substitute two, one of which was to
strike on April %. This precipitated
prolonged applause and an animated
discuss ion.
w ID. Van Horn opposed the date as
serting that the Indiana miners had
contract with the operators to work until
Nav u. The operators had asked them
to accept a reduction, but it had been op-
posed and the wages have not been re-
duced. He was in favor of suspension
of work May l.
Joseph Dunkerly, state president of
Indiana, was bitterly opposed to the date
He also wanted assurance that Illinois
was ready; for if Illinois is not then the
