for the purpose OF mining coal at Will
mlngton,an other towns in place of the
striking miners, will be placed before
Governor Tanner in the name Of tho
United Mine Workers OF Illinois,
The governor will also be asked to CO.

State Secretary W. D, Ryan, OF the

operators, Mr.. Ryan holds, IL the Chi

SPRING VALLEY, Ills, Nov. 9.-The
news that Cinnamon are to be imported
into the mines at Carbon hill IN not con-
sidered very seriously at this place. Men
stood around the corners to-day In Knots
discussing this latest phase of the strike
situation in northern Illinois. But the
coolies did not interest them as. much as
the reported settlement Mt BraceVille
where II Is stated the miners have ac-
cepted the operators offer The men In
this part Of the district are indignant at
the action OF the Braceville men In &C.
cepting a settlement below the scale,
The Spring Valley men claim to have
the strike won. and the leaders say that
no matter IL BFaeeVille does return to
work at q non-unlon scale the Spring
Valley men win hold out until next May
II necessary, for the scale formulated at
Springfield. Ladd, Seatonvllle, Lasalle
and Peru are equally firm.
The labor leaders here soon at the
idea OF the "CooIfe" movement being q
success. They say 1t Is only q bluff.
Said one prominent leader to-day:
what II they do succeed In working
one obscure mine with Cinnamon, that
does not necessarily break the strike.
We nre not going to let two hundred
Chinese at Carbon hill make the price
OF coal digging for 1000 white miners Of
northern Illinois. The very fact that
the northern Illinois operators are I'm
porting cheap "Coolle" labor IL an indi-
cation that the white miners are poorly
paid and evidence of the Justice OF their
cause"
A committee of miners from this point
Of the district will probably be sent to
Bracevllle for the purpose OF inducing
the meu of that place TO reconsider
their late action. a delegate convention
of the northern Illinois miners will lie
held at Streator tomorrow and an effort
win also be made TO get the Bracevllle
men to rescind the vote by which they
decided to go 10 work below the scale.
a report is current here that a settle
inent has been effected at Wenona un-
der tho terms of the Springfield scale.

Bracevllle and Carbon hill.
