MINERS STRIKE ENDED.
4 SETTLEMENT EFFECTED ON A
BASIS OF SIXTY-FINE
CENTS PER TON.
President Ratchford Says There is Not
the Slightest Doubt But That the
Miners Will Approve OF The Recon-
Observation-Disclosures is Nor In
volved in the Settlement.

Columbus, O.. Sept. 3.-The end o.
the great miners strike IS in sigh.
This afternoon the national eXecutiv"
beard OF the United Mine Workers
agreed to recommend to The miners ,hr
proposition from the Pittaburg opera
tors for a straight price of 65 cents a
Ton to continue in force until the end
Of the year. with the additional mutual
understanding that a joint meeting of
operators and miners shall be held in
December, 81, for the purpose OF de-
termining at what rate the mining shall
be lone hereafter. 4 delegate to HE
convention said all the miners who had
suspended work had been called to meet
in Columbus. September s. to act upon
the recommendation.
President Ratchford and other mem
bers say there is MT the slightest doubt
but that the miners will approve OF the
recommendation. The proposition does
no involve arbitration and it provides
for an immediate settlement OF the
strike. President Ratchford said to-
night there are special reasons for the
board recommending the proposition. In
the first place it conceded the miners a
material advance. Had the 60 cent rate
been secured he was confident it could
not have been maintained for more than
10 days. The proposition does away
with all the uncertainties OF arbitration
and will bring the strike to a speedy
termination. As soon as the miners
ratify the proposition work will be re-
sumed in all mines. In the second place
the proposition provides for the revival
OF Joint conference for the adjustment
OF prices.

KILLED A DOZEN.
Fatal Explosion in Coal Mine Near
GlenwCod.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Sept. g.
Eleven Italians and one American work
men were instantly killed just before 6
o'clock tonight by an explosion in the
Sunshine mine. 1G miles southeast Of
Glenwcod Springs.
The Sunshine is the property OF the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company and
about fifty men have beer employed in
Il IN getting out an oven coal for which
there is A big demand.
The workmen had putin a final blast
just before quitting time. 1t resulted in
a blow out. which was instantly follow
ed by an explosion.
The II Italians and McCloud were
working in n chamber Of the mine
and all of them were instantly killed.
The explosion filled the mine with
smoke and dust. and for some time it
was thought that the loss OF life had in:
cluded all Of the workmen in the mine.
1t was an hour before the workmen in
adjoining mines were able to go into
the Sunshine property. Then it was
found that that the loss of life, heavy as
it was. had been confined to the one
chamber.
The miners in the other parts Of the
mine were o released and all efforts
turned to the removal Of the dead
bodies.
The dead men were so badly mangled
and burned from the explosion that they
were recognized only by the records
which showed who were working in that
shift at the time OF the accident.
The work OF removing the dead was
not completed until nearly midnight.
The dead will be brought to Glenwood.
where an inquest will be held.
The Sunshine has been considered one
Of the safest properties operated by the
fuel company. There has been a big
demand for the coal from the mine and
forces have been working day and night.
1t is thought that too many blasts re-
sulting from the incessant work had fill
ed the chamber with coal dust. which
was exploded by the blow out. 1t is al
so reported that there was a barrel OF
powder in the chamber which was ex-
ploded. but this report is not confirmed.
Sunshine is 16 miles from Glenwood
and but meager reports o. the accident
have been received.

He asks the court to compel his guar
dian to Immediately turn over to him all
OF the moneys and property held. for
which he will give specific receipts. The
matter is expected TO come before the
court on Saturday. The controversy be

reference to loans made by the guardian,
aggregating $4,000. which are said to
be unbelievable. and which. Mr.. Nagel
contends, should not have been made.
He will hold his guardian and bonds

reason refuses to sign a receipt in full.
