Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and West

the Interstate convention Of miners.
which has been In session since We'd

resolution accepting the proposition of
the Pittsburg operators. The vote was
49J for and 311 against accepting the
terms Of settlement. and eleven votes
were not cast
The delegates OF Illinois. who had 80
votes, were unanimously against SET
tlement. Indiana and West Virginia
voted solidly to accept the operators
proposition. but there were scattering
vOtes among the Ohio and Pittsbnrg
delegates against 1t. The resolution
adopted IL as follows:
Resolved. That we, the miners of
Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Ohio. In
diana and Illinois, In convention assem-
bled, do hereby agree to accept the
proposition recommended by our ma
tional Executive committee. viz: Sixty

sumo work and contribute literally to

vance over which the fight must be

"ResOlved. That the national officers.

purpose Of providing ways and means
for the carrying on Of the strike where
necessary, provided. however. that no
district resume work for ten days. for
the purpose of giving miners in other
districts time to confer with their Or
orators and get the price II possible"
While ten days is provided for the
miners to resume work. It is probable
that many OF the Ohio and Pittsburg
mines will be rcopened Monday. The
