The men in the camps surrounding the

had no power to make any agreements
for calling the strike off. declaring fur
ther that the miners never would abandon
the strike on the terms suggested.
Trimmer said the authority for negOtiat-

vested solely in the executive board. and
any action taken by it must be referred
to delegate convention of the miners for
ratification Capt. Bellingham, in charge
of the camp at Plum creek. became very

were there for the purpose of defeating

he was confident that the men in this

cents, and as member of the executive
board, he would oppose any action ac-
cepting lower rate. Every man in the
camp seems to be Of the same mind as

the working of their mines. and they
expect that orders to go to work will

acceptance of 64 cents ton pending
arbitration in the Pittsburg district
would advance the Ohio rate to 80
cents and the miners here express their
Willingness to accept that rate as soon
rs they get the word from President

any orders ahead. but the opera tors say
they will be able to give men practically
steady employment during the coming

Powers Notify the Greek Gov
eminent to Withdraw
From Crete.
Given Six Days to Comply
or Coercive Steps Will
Be Taken.
Present Situation, if Continued,
Will Involve the Peace
of Europe.

ATHENS, March 3.-The identical
note presented by the representatives
Of the powers to the Greek government
says that the powers are entirely
agreed upon a course Of action to put
an end to situation which it was not
within their power to prevent, but
which, if continued, would gravely
compromise the peace of Europe.
1t proceeds to announce that the an
nexation of Crete is impossible, and
that they decline to accept such pro-
posal The note confers instead an alb
solutely effective autonomy assurance
to Crete, separate government under
the suzerainty of the sultan.
These conditions, however, not being
realizable except by the withdrawal of
the Greek troops from the island and
of the Greek ships from Cretan waters
or from points where the powers are in
occupation, the powers confidently rely
upon the wisdom Of the Greek govern
ment to cease to oppose their peaceful
efforts for the welfare of Crete and the
preservation of peace.
Therefore, Greece is solemnly warned
that unless the aforesaid withdrawal
occurs within six days the powers will
not hesitate to take any coercive steps
necessary to enforce it and their decis-
ion is irreyocable.
