 iTh. press committee, Messrs. Gompcrs, .Ratehfond and Couahan, then gave out the following statement, which incorpor- ated. they said, all that was dcne at the meeting. The manifesto sta.es:
 rAn informal discussion was had and it demonstrated that the situation in West Virginia required attention in order that the suspension should be general and success assured. Win this object ln view action was recommended by Pre- dent Gompers, of the Fedora tion of Id. bor, and it was determined to overcome this feature of the case. All the circunl- stances warranted the conclusion that Victory could be secured. Conscious of the great interest which the public has in, contest so widespread as that of the miners it gives us great satisfaction to know that the miners have not been and are not now opposed to arbitration. We therefore urge and advise that a con-sr- -encs be held between the representatives of the miners and operators with view of settling the present suspension"
 Notwithstanding the announcement by the committee that the stat ment furnish ed to the press covered all proceedings it Is known that a general organization for the purpose of bringing about a susp.n- sion in West Virginia was decided upon. A general canvass was decided on and it Twas realized that the West Virginia indetrs held the key to the situation, and without their support the success of the strike would be jeopardiz:d The off, cials pledged themselves to furnish a full quota of the best organizers of their diff ferent organizations. In regard to the report that a call would be made on all organized labor for assistance, President Dolan, of the PittsbUrg district. admitted that such might be done.
