operators of Ohio. indiana and Illinois in
joint conference with the miners for the
purpose OF agreeing upon a new schedule of
wages. p. III. Penna. president OF the
United Mine Workers, to-nigh. received the
following telegram:
I'm reply to your telegram. which was
submitted to a quarterly meeting of oper-
ators' association. held this afternoon.
by unanimous vote the association directs
me to say that, as there is a combination
amongst the Ohio operators pledged TO sup
port each other throughout the entire state
in maintaining a difercntial against
Pittsburg at . cents per ton and as the
PittSburg operators consider IL absolutely
vital to their interests that the d~ifferental
with eastern Ohio must be abolished; there
fore, such a meeting as proposed would
be useless and barren of results. With the
competition from thin vein mines In this
district working at 45 and 81 cents. whose
miners you cannot control. to say nothing of
competing with thick vein coal at % cents,
it should be apparent to any one that 60
cents is the highest possible price for
association mines in this district.
