Discriminating Against Miners.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
IERRE HAUTE, Ind. July 1.-THE In
diana bituminous operators and miners were
confronted. to-day. with the most serious
question that has arisen in many years in
these annual conferences over wage scales.
IL Is as to the right of employers to discrim-
mate against active labor leaders Ia giving
work in the mines. At the joint conference,
last night. the miners said nothing about
this question. but this morning the oper-
ators were notified that the United Mine
workers had made the grievance of the
men In the Clinton district the grievance of
the organization. The grievance coming
from the Clinton district arises from the
refusal of operator Anderson TO give work
TO certain men who were alleged to be
ag1tators- The wage scale had been agreed
on, and the mine was about to be put in
operation. when he made known that these
men could not return to work. The miners
say the ones refused work are the ones who,
several weeks ago, sent a petition to Gov
ernor Matthews asking him to cause the
mining laws to be enforced. The Governor
will have the matter investigated.
The miners spent the evening considering
the proposition submitted by the operators,
but reached no conclusion, and will meet
again In the morning. The operators ask
for the Ohio 51-cent rate and for day labor
at $l.53. The temporary agreement, which
expires on the 18th. is for so cents.
