PROSPECTS OF SETTLING THE COAL
STRIKE DOUBTFUL.

STRIKE DOUBTFUL.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. S.-The interstate
miners convention adjourned this evening uh'h
tomorrow without having taken vote on the
question OF accepting or rejecting the proposed
settlement OF the strike. The prospects for the
acceptance OF the settlement are somewhat
doubtful; in fact. canvass OF the SITUATION
shows that a majority Of the votes. unless some
change should be brought about would be cast
against It. The greater part Of the afternoon
session OF the convention was secret. the dele
gates listening to speeches from National Presi-
dent Ratchford and State Presidents Farms OF
Ohio; knight Of Indiana; Carson, OF Illinois,
and Dolan of Pittsburg All of these officials,
with the exception Of Mr. Carson, argued in
favor Of the acceptance Of the Plttsburg opera
tors proposition.
They told the delegates plainly that II the
proposition rejected the strike would fail
utterly: that the contest could not be continued,
as all resources had been exhausted They ad-
vised that inasmuch the strike had been pre-
cipitated in the Pittsburg district. 1t was proper
that it should be settled there President Car
son told the delegates just as plainly why ne
could not support the proposition Tor SETTLE
ment He said the Illinois miners were practic-
ally ignored by it, The operators Of ris State
had informed him that they would not abide by
any settlement made with the Pttsburg oper-
ators.
The most important action Of the convention
to-day was in determining the basis Of repre-
sentation. Some Of the delegates wanted RUE
that no delegate should be allowed to cast more
than six votes. This II adopted, IT is salo'
would have settled the question OF the accept
ance of the strike settlement quickly. 1t was
the sentiment Of the convention. however, that
representation hould be fixed so that all miners
should have n voice in the settlement. Accord
ingly il was decided that one vote should be
cast for every 100 miners represented.
