by the riders is over $50 miles, but they

A PROJECT TO END THE STRIKE.
uanna's Manager Suggests a Plan
to End the Long struggle.

Cleveland, Aug. 31.-Thomas 4. Young,
manager of NJ. A. Hanna * Co. s coal min
ing interests, says he has reason to believe
that the end of the strike is at hand. He
has interviewed many OF the Ptttsburg dis
frict operators and last night he formulated
a scheme which he telegraphed &C Presi-
dent Ratchford at st. Louis.
1t is that the whole matter be arbitrated
with the understanding that the rate fixed
by the arhitrators shall be between 50
and 20 cents. Pending the settlement
the men to go to work at Cd cents.
Mr.. Young says Ratchford replied thai
he would call a meeting of the executive
council tomorrow and discuss the matter.
A meeting of the Ohio coal operators
owning mines in the PittShurg district
was held here this afternoon and evening
to consider Young's plans. Mr.. Young
does not go so far as TO say that the
strike will be ended in forty-eight hours
but he says be hopes for an early settle
ment.
He says there is more OF disposition
20 yield oil both sides. The breaking away
Of the smaller operators and the unrest OF
the strikers, worn out by the long struggle
will, he believes, help hasten the end.
