have already offered to paySthe scale. It
has been several years since there was a
well-deffned wage scale for West Virginia.
Since then the mining Conditions have

ably have to call conference Of miners
and operators to fix new scale.
szus The best thing about It Is that it is an
agreement. Nobody has been Whipped:
There is to be conference in December
to fix the wages for 1898, and the present
wages are to be paid the rest Of the year.
II don't recall when there was a better
prospect for undisturbed wage conditions
in the mining industry than now"
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 13.-The opera
tors Sofs the Pittsburgh district may ii
pudiate their agreement with The min
ers' Sof1icialsEilI regard to the S65-cent
rate. When they agreed to pay it they
did not figure on, 9 ten days delay, but
supposed fth esminers would go to work
at once. They claim treachery on the
part of the miners officials, and it is
now matter of surmise whether the
mines will resume at the price agreed
